I have just added a small amount to your “fund drive”. I was happy to make a donation, but I expect I’d be happier if LUNGET published accounts. That way we could all see what the future holds...


   ...Brings me to the next part. We actually want to buy two new servers: one to serve as the production server and the other to serve as a research and development server.

Novice question: could the old box not work as a “research and development server” in the short-term?

   We think it would be best to purchase both together, if possible. We’re also thinking we could save a bit of money by putting one drive in each system -- each partitioned with its own area plus a mirror of the other system -- instead of putting two drives in the main system. With a second new server, we could also improve overall reliability by running HTTP on one system and NNTP on the other.


We’ll get there with your help

I hope you can take a few moments to make a small donation toward this goal. Your contribution will come back to you tenfold in good LEGO karma.

We appreciated your patience during the downtime today Thank you for bearing an unusually long downtime today. We certainly weren't expecting a 9-hour outage simply for the replacement of a disk.
