Site Maintenance (1 Viewer)

[Tommy]

I have a new dedicated server on order and will be moving the site to it early next month. The reason for the upgrade is to move from CentOS (reaching EOL in 2024) to the AlmaLinux OS. I also took this opportunity to upgrade the server specs with an eight-core Xenon, more RAM, and more NVMe storage. Should be good for a while. I'll post an update when I have a date and time set for the move. It will take anywhere between 2 and 4 hours.

Thank you for all the upgrades, Tommy! I appreciate how you keep this place running smoothly.

Is that a challenge? Alright PCF - I think we need some more "Showcase" threads! Some ideas:

• Rolling Edge pR0n
• Macro H&C pR0n
• Textured Inlay pR0n
• Pictures of Chips with My Cat pR0n
• etc...

Thanks Tommy!

This is a relief! I’ve been losing sleep worrying about what will happen when CentOS reaches EOL in 2024.



*But seriously, thanks @Tommy! We appreciate what you do.

 

[Gunnar]

Awesome, let me know if you need some backup for the upgrade

Hahahaha. Some of our products use Cent OS and I don't think our developers have even considered this yet!

so 2 to 4 hours of the stare down, nice!

Thanks for the work and dedication @Tommy !!! Much appreciated sir

Sent my schedule via PM so you can work around it. Thx

I absolutely hated when there was a major update, back when I had my vB forum. Seemed like there was always some php, asp, or other "upgrades" that was guaranteed to cause issues. Never was big enough to own/host my own server. Site update convo's always bring back horrible nightmares! Ugh! Restoring the database from backups (backing up and restoring was all remote, on mB speeds). Had to use FTPpro or some other FTP software that would verify packets.

Glad it's you, Tommy, raising a drink in your direction! Many thanks!

Server move is scheduled for Tuesday 5/9 starting around 4am eastern time.

 

[Poker Zombie]

Wait... they make a 4 in the am too?

For those lesser mortals that didn't get the joke, there is a movement where people do crazy things to get doom installed on some odd things, one such oddity is a pregnancy test stick, and I think another is one of those pet flash drives from the 90s.

So, if Skynet is now self-aware, we know what really happened.

 

[KHarp1]

I'm sorry, but, I fell asleep and missed it, can we reschedule it?
