Planned Maintenance - BIG NEWS!

image

You might have noticed some strange things around here. They’re probably strange because we are undergoing some planned maintenance. And, while things are not going as smoothly as planned, it was planned that way too, and this is perfectly normal, though we do apologize profusely for the inconvenience. This message will go away when all’s well. You might check back in a few hours, or you are welcome to navigate the site in its degraded state. Either way, it’s all good in the hood, except for the fact that our website is not running fully (yet) right at this exact time, though we can anticipate things will probably be back to normal shortly, assuming everything goes according to plan from here forward, saint patty’s day comes a day early for us, and plans don’t change resulting from something else going wrong in the interrum. Thank you.

UPDATE: well it’s been about 2-3 hours since the last update, and here’s where we are at so, you know, extrapolate. Figure… 13 more hours :frowning:, give er take.

The silver lining? The more it completes, the better the site looks! And, any images which don’t load you can simply click on to see, so really all we’re missing right now is the aesthetic.

Are you having a lovely day? Hope so.

I successfully migrated, added redundant hosting, and baked the new images (that’s what took so long) to help mitigate some DDOS attacks we had been having. But I’m not satisfied with only this. I want to take things even more distributed, something I would never have gotten around to if it weren’t for all the DDOS attacks over the past ~year. Therefore, I may take the site back down temporarily and at times through the next couple of days, thank you in advance for understanding the perfections of a tinkerer.

Well, you might have noticed yesterday that /hott, /watt, and/or the forum were mostly down. That was me, I admit, there was some bad DNS, networking, grr. So I performed some emergency maintenance+.

You see, being an indy developer, having not heard hide nor hair from much anyone on this forum in years, I figure… I can do what I want. And I sorta like it that way. So I did what any true indy developers would do - instead of paying extra for a testbed, I tested with the live version. It’s not a clean development approach, but you know what? It forces me to get stuff done.

But what was I testing? You might have read I’ve been developing Analog over digital, or HDGL, around here the past four months. Actually I took a hiatus for four months, and this is old tech now that I’ve finally gotten around to picking back up.

And, I couldn’t have done it without you, DDOS assailers.

So, as of this writing, the load balancer that I had two days ago, itself a proprietary versioning (not the cause of the emergency maint.), has been upgraded to analog-over-digital!!! :partying_face: That’s right. The load balancer was replaced by our sweet suit of HDGL analog over digital.

It looks EXACTLY THE SAME to the interwebs, but under the hood this puppy is running on that sweet suite analog over digital HDGL.

Oh and see that alpine kernal? We can use the file swap in order to create an analog over digital instance of a kernal. With a kernal being able to load, we can load an OS. With an OS able to load, we can achieve OS riding on analog over digital. A bit later on to reveal, I hope..

I’m pretty tired. When my website goes down, serving around ~82k (bonified?) visitors per month, stresses me out a bit. Hence why I developed this custom solution. It cost me a day’s worth of traffic, and probably I lost some who had grown accustomed to that lovely /hott to listen to before bed, but now…

We’re analog, baby :disguised_face:

What this means (I think) is no configuration, as the configuration becomes a function of geometry. It means a new approach to security, which for now offers superior security in much the same way Apple was once cool - because nobody’s ever worked with it before, there are no vulnerabilities yet. This will probably change if it ever catches on. This isn’t an invite to hackers.. you probably could hack it as of right now. It’s a beta version! But to hack the analog portion itself would require familiarization with the method, making this, for now, superior along those lines - if and only if nobody comes around trying to game the beta.

I’ll update more later on, for now I ran out of tokens… just in the nick of time. A good stopping point.

I feel better now.

Sorry not sorry for the downtime ;).

See you soon.

God bless.
