# Frontpage updates and more

*June 2023, by Fristi*

It's been quiet for half a year. Subcon has been chucking along quite well with 
nothing special happening. Even the dreaded Fedora 38 update did not prove too 
much of a headache. All has been moseying along easily.

Actually, I've just not been in the mood to work much on the server recently 
because of life stuff. I've recently quit my job as a programmer and took a much
needed hiatus away from programming to clear my head of stuff. I think this was 
good, because I've slowly regained my interest in programming and maintaining my
server again. 

And that means updates! The website has been updated; not much new on the front,
but it's now a PHP-powered website with actual pages. It even has fancy ajax 
page loading now (but the website will also work without javascript). This means
people can now properly link to different pages as well as the news articles. 

Besides the website, I've also set up Radicale, a caldav and carddav server, as
a potential replacement for Nextcloud's calendars and addressbooks. With recent 
Nextcloud updates it has become clear that updating it usually leads to downtime
and issues, which for me defeats the purpose of having such a fully-featured 
groupware service. As such I will also be searching for a replacement for 
Nextcloud's file hosting and syncing. 

Up on the todo list are to update Funkwhale, which I hope isn't gonna spit in my
face. Also I will be picking up work on the custom artwork for the subcon 
frontpage; parts of it have already been finished, so I really wanna get it all 
over and done with. Other than that, I'll be busy with just the usual. Keep tabs
on the [wiki](https://library.subcon.town) for any new guides and stuff; I will
be adding one for using Radicale.
