SERVER REBUILD INCOMING
« on: January 13, 2009, 10:58:32 AM »
Nobody panic.  It will not be that scary.  Well, it might.

Seiryuu is entirely too old and too behind to really be comfortably upgraded (I don't think the kernel's been updated for at least five years, for example, and you may or may not have noticed that the forum's a handful of versions back), so Suboshi and I are going to be building an entirely new machine and setting it up specifically as a web server, not as our personal linuxbox that just happens to run apache.  This means security will be much better, and there will be way fewer times that we get ddosed into shutting down the network services (yay!).

What this means:
  • Accounts will not be automatically reinstated, because frankly jesus there are a lot and I am not entirely sure I know who most of these people are.  When the server is up, if you are still interested in webspace come see me and I'll get things set up for you.  YOU WILL NEED TO BACK UP YOUR SHIT ON YOUR OWN BEFORE FEB 14.
  • If you do want an account, fair warning that we will not have the space to be a fileserver.  The new harddrive is much faster, but also smaller.  So while I'm sure your 30GB personal music backups are very awesome, there will not be space.  XD
  • We will no longer be providing an @seiryuu.org email address.  With the way spambots work now, maintaining email security is a fulltime job all on its own and I seriously do not have the time to do it.  It suuuuuuuuuuucks, and I'm really sorry, but until people stop trying to use Seiryuu to relay their \/|4gr4 ads there is exactly dick I can do about it.  If you need a gmail invite, I can totes help you with that.
  • Security will remain SSH and SFTP only, which really shouldn't be a problem; I think it's already been that way for awhile.

Hopefully a month's lead time won't cause, like, MASS HYSTERIA, but we'll see what happens.  The spring cleaning will make everything way more awesome, I superpromise.  <3 <3
