Hi Pixy, I have a question about the server you described over at Ace of Spades HQ —

“a dual-processor quad-core hyper-threaded Xeon E5520 with 24GB of RAM, a 4TB RAID-5 array (using an Adaptec 5805 controller), a 32GB Intel X25-E SSD, redundant power supplies, and a gigabit internet connection, running CentOS 5.3 and OpenVZ.”

— Does this server host all of your mee.nu sites, or just Ace?

Thanks!

4 It's to host all of mu.nu and mee.nu, replacing three smaller servers.  Ace is just one of the biggest sites and was going to be down a little longer because I had to set up the comments server separately, so I posted an announcement there.

There's a second, smaller server in the new arrangement - a quad-core Xeon 3230 with 2GB of RAM - but that's mainly for test and development.  I got that because it came as a special deal with 4TB of bandwidth that I can pool with the main server - for half the price of the bandwidth alone.

5 My next question isn’t fair, primarily because it’s none of my business . . . . but . . . how do you make money hosting sites for others, for free, when it requires you to maintain oodles of hardware and software, with no ostensible returns?

6 Damn.  I knew I was doing something wrong.

7 Clearly, I should have opened my reader before my site this morning. 
Thanks for all your hard work!!

8 Thanks, Pixy! Main menu good--blacklist not so good: "An error occurred: Byte order is not compatible at blib/lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into blib/lib/auto/Storable/thaw.al) line 415, at lib/MT/PluginData.pm line 28"

Sorry to be such a pest!

9 Uh-oh.  That's not supposed to happen.

Thanks for the bug reports!

10 Okay, I'll just need to export and re-import the blacklist.  Not a problem.

11 All fixed!

12 Yay! Thanks very much--in gratitude, your chocolate allotment for the month has been increased exponentially...

13 When I visit El Robbo, I enter a timewarp to 2005..... I don't think that is right.

14 That is to say, the Llama Bootchers at http://llamabutchers.mu.nu/

15 Hi Any!  Sorry about that.  Robbo mentioned it, and I found that a few sites had done the time warp again.  Should all be fixed now.
