Below the Fold Server Migration

Happy to announce that the migration went well and we're now up and running on a new server.

For all the nerds out there, the new machine is:

AMD EPYC 4244P
64GB DDR5
3Gbp/s Network (Up/Down)

Should be looking at about a 20~25% increase in performance and if we ever get flooded with a million users, we now have the network capacity for it

Actually the old machine seemed to run pretty well, so you may not notice anything - however on the backend, things are definitely much quicker

I'm delighted to hear that your backend is running better - I know it's been causing you trouble.

Windows Server.

Started that way as I originally wrote everything in ASP and .NET - and now I'm just used to using it

Windows Server.

OMG, the whole of the internet runs on Linux servers but you decided .... lol

But it did make hosting ePer a little more straightforward... Although it might be able to run on Linux in principle, I'm never going to get round to testing the theory

.. I'm never going to get round to testing the theory..

Nope, I fully understand, I have many things in my life I can apply that concept to. There's just not enough hours in a day, or days in a week.

Currently recovering from a triple bypass, has made me review priorities in my life.
