# Service Updates
*November 2023, by Fristi*
Hello villagers! Just a short update regarding some chances made on the server
recently. Upcoming will also be the upgrade to Fedora 39; if all goes well, we
should not be having any issues with this update.
First off, I unfortunately had to shut down the *Funkwhale* service. This is mainly
due to technical issues in keeping the instance updated; it seems Funkwhale is just
not compatible enough with Fedora to keep it running without issues. As such, the
service is offline and will not be back for the foreseeable future. In the meantime
I will see if I can find a suitable alternative.
Additionally, the gogs service has been replaced with [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org/).
This is a fork of the popular (but now infamous) Gitea project that we used in the
past. I have decided to host this new instance on a different subdomain,
[forge.subcon.town](https://forge.subcon.town). The gogs service will no longer be
available.
Near the end of the month I will start migrating the server to *Fedora 39*. Preparations
have already been made, so that everything will hopefully go without any issues.
Fingers crossed.
Some more plans are currently in the works after the migration has been dealt with.
I've currently been testing a *web IRC client* that has been working very favorably.
Together with that, I've been planning to set up an *IRC server* of our own to pair
it with. To further boost the options we have for communication, I've also been
looking into hosting a *Matrix* server. However this one is still in the works and
will depend a lot on if *Conduit* or *Dendrite* end up working as advertised.
That is all for now, happy hacking!
