Hello!

It's that time again, for an update that shows the project isn't actually dead!

Nothing super important to report on regarding news or recent events, just me being slow in implementing change.


The Pony Archive:
  • New server is in place, but not fully migrated all of the software yet.
  • This was a gigantic chunk of money, couldn't have done it without the donations.
  • TIME FOR SPECS
    • 2x E5-2690V4 
    • 128GB DDR4 Ram
    • 8x HGST 16TB HDDs in ZFS-2 for 83TB of usable space.  (Slightly more than the previous server's 77TB!)
      • Room for 8 more drives for another 83TB array!
  • Runs almost everything for TPA now.
  • Introducing The Warp  https://warp.theponyarchive.com a searchable front-end for TPA.
  • https://github.com/ZizzyDizzyMC/autoindex-warp

Z+:
  • Despite some severe issues, the network is still running strong with some upkeep.
  • Hosting has ended private beta and is now in public beta with some meme offerings.
  • https://billing.zd.do 
  • Billing panel still needs bug fixes, working with vendor to fix known bugs I've found.
  • Lets me free up time and not have to manually configure VPSs for Pony clients that continue to take advantage of the discounted services of Z+
  • We're adding 3 more pop points beginning of 3rd quarter this year.  This is about a year later than expected, 2022 was a tough year financially personally.
  • Adding new services in 2nd quarter of this year, something to really look forward to as it's new to the industry.
