<h2>Januari 2023: Plans for the year</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Many services have been updated. The gitea server has been replaced with a new gogs server, now
hosted at <a href="https://factory.subcon.town">factory.subcon.town</a>. 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.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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 <a href="https://library.subcon.town">
library.subcon.town</a>.

<strong>Q</strong>: <em>It's been a year, are you ever gonna get this show running?</em>
<br/>
<strong>A</strong>: Yes. I really want this to work. But it's hard to keep working on it
with work being work and life being life. However, I've decided to start dedicating some
more time to myself so I can more reliably work on my projects.
<strong>A</strong>: Yes. I really want this to work. A lot of things are in place now and
quite frankly, it's time to invite people in here to see how things go.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Q</strong>: <em>Is Subcon Town open for new users?</em>
<br/>
<strong>A</strong>: No. The intended purpose is an invite-only pubnix, for friends and
<strong>A</strong>: No. The intended purpose is an invite-only tilde community, for friends and
family. After the testing phase, I will start sending out invites to people interested.
You may ask for an invite as well at that point, but the plan is to only let comfy people in.
