Hello world!
+
+ Welcome to Subcon Town! We are a small tilde community, hosted for friends and family.
+ We offer SSH access, hosting of websites, gopher holes and gemini pods, alongside
+ other services like cloud services, git and fossil hosting and an activitypub server.
+
+
+ Tilde communities are pubnixes, public access unix systems. We took our inspiration
+ from older such servers like tilde.club
+ and the tildes from tildeverse.org.
+
+
+ Users may find out more about this system by visiting the wiki.
+ Keep in mind that the wiki is still a work in progress.

Januari 2023: Plans for the year
+
+ Happy new year! Subcon has come a long way since the change of the year. First off: we have moved to
+ new hardware! The server is now powered by an Odroid H3 board. With that, a number of other changes
+ have been made as well.
+
+
+ Storage on the server has been totally reworked; the old storage media have been replaced with a 2TB
+ NVMe drive that will, for one, house the user home directories, and a 4TB SATA SSD that will house all
+ variable data; user repositories, websites, databases, the lot. All of this has been set up with
+ convenient LVM partitions that can be easily resized if more space is required in the future.
+
+
+ Many services have been updated. The gitea server has been replaced with a new gogs server, now
+ hosted at factory.subcon.town. The old snikket server
+ has also been replaced with a new prosody setup, offering most of the same xmpp services at jab.subcon.town.
+ Note that old snikket accounts are thus gone. The fedora installation has also been updated to fedora
+ 37.
+
+
+ The most notable change however will be the decrease in processing power. While we still have about
+ 75% of the processing power, the upside is that the system as a whole is seriously more power efficient.
+ We are now running at a fraction of the power the old server needed, going from 60Wh on average to
+ a mere 6Wh. Serious power savings like that will lower upkeep cost, which I can in turn invest in
+ improving other things, such as my god awful internet bandwidth.
+
+
+ Remember that even with all these changes done, the server is, and will likely forever, be a work
+ in progress. There are still some rough edges needing work, further configuring of services, and
+ for the current while, a lot of work writing wiki pages at
+ library.subcon.town.
+
