So, who will get the last post before the big move?

We need the appropriate theme music for the countdown....

So just to keep y'all in the loop. We now have our very own private server. I'm still in the process of setting it all up. So for my fellow geeks who are sitting there asking themselves, "What's Wav working on under the hood?"

2 Core CPU Processor
4 GB RAM
75 GB RAID-10 SSD Storage
2 TB Bandwidth
CentOS 7 with cPanel

All to ourselves, no more sharing with other websites packed together like pigs at Farmer Johns.

No flying into the side of a mountain during the move please!

Grant, does the SSDD get backed up somewhere ? Reason I asked, about 15 years ago the company I worked for had a multi TB RAID drive crash. We lost 600GB of data.

RAID and I will set up a cron job to backup once I have everything set up on the new server. Computers crash, not of matter of if, but when. I try to replace hardware before it goes out.

RAID

The RAID FAILED.

The RAID FAILED.

All I know for sure is this site will be a lot better in a few more hours.

OK, we ran into a small obstacle that will hold us back on the move while I tidy house.

I'll have @Ebidis move his Lego directly, he's an untidy bugger. I hope you were wearing shoes...

You're running it on your watch?

Of course he isn't. Where would he keep the modem?

Are you running on a virtual? Just curious about the low RAM count. However, it is running pretty smoothly. Nice job!

 

[WavMixer]

VPS located here on the west coast. It's 4am, I just woke up after nodding off at the computer around 2. Still got more stuff to clean up before we move over.

Exactly, RAID is not backup. SSD are a bit more reliable than HDD, but still. Also, never use RAID 5. It's the bane of every IT tech who has had to figure out why the RAID crashed. RAID 5 was created when drives were hella pricey. Now there is no excuse but to use RAID 10 for everything. RAID on non non enterprise drives is also very risky since most of them do no report drive errors and corruption, they just mark the block as bad and move on.

It is indeed RAID-10, please see my previous post. Is there more powerful server space available? Yes .
2 core cpu on the server, 4 core on my desktop.
4GB RAM on server, 32GB on my desktop.
75GB storage on server, 6TB storage on my desktop.

However the server just pulls files for the most part, no complicated processes to perform. As far as storage capacity, we will need to throttle back on hosting big files like videos. Y'all will be able to host your videos on YouTube and hot link them here, but we can't be a forum and a video host expecting to do both well. I'm gonna try to make this forum work well and leave it to YouTube to do the video hosting well.

Right now I'm deleting back up copies that were on the server from the crash. Tons of attachments and been deleting all night long. My FTP screen looks like this:

No, my watch has more processing power.
