kbin.earth server upgrade complete! Also have a new matrix room, and looking for admins.
I just finished the much needed server upgrade! So far, it seems to be running much faster, but let's see how it goes (if you notice any issues at all, please let me know). Just wanted to say thanks to those who stuck around.
Additionally, we have a new matrix room, where you can receive real time updates on kbin.earth announcements, ask for support, or just generally chat: #kbin.earth:matrix.org.
Finally, I'm looking for people who want to volunteer as admins (global mods). There's not much to do at the moment, but I think it would be good to have some backup in case I'm ever unavailable. Basically, just making sure everything on here is following the rules outlined on the About page.
I'm renting through Hetzner. The upgrades are stressful, but I could imagine it being worse if it was on my own equipment (like trying to order new parts).
So how do the slow downs come about? I only experienced slow downs recently about two weeks ago, then improved s bit and then the last 2 or 3 days went back being slower. Kbin.earth never was super fast for me, but comfortable speeds. Very comfortable now.
