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. +
