New Server going online today!


Recommended Posts

i'm seeing 3 IPs for www, that correct? :p

It was a few hours ago, you must be caching your dns results, there are only 2 setup

Ah, so this is why i cant search? :p

Yes, the search engine will be down whilst the move is in progress, use google with site:neowin.net if you need to find anything.

The "latest forum posts" thingy on the front page stopped updating for me, about two-three hours ago.

Still seeing these old posts on it:

(yeah, I saw Dave's signature).

There may be one or two minor issues like that, they're not high priority for checking out so long as we're online while the servers are moved across.

I say that, but I just fixed it, was just a minor permissions error on the files, all sorted now.

In other news, Simon360 discovered the reason behind some of the recent slowdowns we've been experiencing and together we've put together a patch that will prevent that happening again, so not only more powerful servers, but more efficient code will come out of this process :D

Interesting... I live <30 mi from both the datacenter in Southfield & the offices in Plymouth yet my ISPs routing via BGP and their backbone goes out to Ohio, Cincinnati and then Chicago for the traffic peering/exchange before coming back to SE MI. Funny how BGP/routing/traffic aggregation works. Anyways glad the datacenter is in MI.

Nothing is running on the Michigan box yet, your route should take you to Chicago, where the current boxes are

Okay, the trace lost me as to where it took me once I hit Cogent. There were a lot of hops. Tonight at just about Midnight EDT I got a lot different trace. I'm just three miles into Michigan above South Bend, IN. This is what I get now:

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
