The year is 2025 and we're still going, and growing.
Updates are way more frequent on the discord, but current tasks are re-working some error handling on Spikebot and slowly scanning in physical scripts! Moving and re-balancing datasets, and ensuring day to day operation of all of the sites under the Z+ network.
The Pony Archive, and ponies around the world, are grateful for the support we receive. We would not be here without your help.
Sparing the details, I went to some pretty serious debt fixing and keeping the archive up around July of 2024, and without the income from here to help offset that and help me pay it down, I legitimately would be in a much worse off place.
Our hardware right now is the most robust it's ever been, with room to grow. As funds allow I will be focusing on building a new refreshed array out of newer disks. It will be a while, but it'll be worth it. Just want to keep it up to date, and this will let us keep 2 mirrored copies on-site. We'll be working on properly adding a 3rd off site backup location by the end of 2025. Preferably using Tape so the offsite backup can just be kept static with no recurring costs. No disks to spin, no money!
Z+ went public during Black Friday of 2024, unfortunately I'm a long way off from my dream of being able to host a public web host that pays for itself, or makes a profit for that matter. Hopefully that improves with time.
Some of the subscriber tier rewards will be changing / removed, notably the whinebox from the $100 tier as that's ancient. However if you had already messaged me about that, and still want it rest assured I'm designing a version 3 using my much better 3d skills from when I made the original in 2019. Realistically I likely won't be done with v3 till June 2025.
Look for an announcement in the discord later this month - all subscribers will have the chance to receive a 3d printed badge that can be worn at cons as supporter merch. Even past subscribers who are no longer subbed.
I'm so eternally grateful, thanks again for the support throughout 2024, and here's to many more years of making sure pony will last as long as we do. Happy New Year!
ps. If anyone has leads on high capacity LTO9 tape drives that don't cost as much as a built server let me know!

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:

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.
