| | The DhO is now running on the Epsilon server option on Omegabit, which means we have our own dedicated OS with 2 cores and database and can do some things we couldn't before regarding protection against aggressive crawls and attacks and the like. This does cost me an additional $130/month or so (was about $50/month, now about $180/month), but I think it will be worth it.
Performance should be better, as more server resources are dedicated to the DhO now.
A guy named Manish Yadav in Mumbai has decided to be the 5th person to take on the attempt at migrating us from Liferay 5.2.2 to 6.1. I wish him luck: he will need it. My budget for this is $2000. We will see how that goes.
There may be occasional downtimes as this happens. I will let you know if and when they will likely occur if I know myself.
I hope all this goes smoothly, but in all honesty would be amazed if it did.
I put these numbers out there just to give straightforward financial disclosure of how this place works. I don't want any donations of any money or anything like that, as I am happy to support this place and consider it one of my little contributions to make this a better world.
If you notice anything strange, let me know.
