Scenesat has provided an extra vCPU

(1/1)

Today I am very pleased to announce that Scenesat has allocated an extra virtual CPU to our system, thanks in part to the few donations Scenesat receives via Modarchive.

I will soon publish some notes under the Scenesat donation link indicating that we may be able to expand available resources for Modarchive  through donations.

In the past when TMA donation drives allowed me to rent high speed dedicated servers with many CPUs we had lots of spare processing power to allow for growth, unfortunately the donation drives ceased when I went on an emergency hiatus for several years to work on personal issues. The consequence of that was the donation pool eventually ran out of money and nobody picked up the gauntlet to keep it going!

Thank goodness for Scenesat, especially Ziphoid and Fnord who provisioned a virtual server, which is why we now direct our donation drive towards Scenesat.com- if you are not familiar with Scenesat, they provide high quality live video and audio streams from many demo-parties, where module competitions frequently take place. Additionally, Scenesat provides a lot of infra for hosting radio shows by sceners, and also broadcasts scene-only music 24/7,  including fantastic music modules.

Making a donation through the Modarchive donation button on the main page will tag your donation and put it towards keeping the services online as well as possibly enabling us to earn additional resources for operating Modarchive.

All the best wishes and strength for the new year,

m0d

The new Main Page layout is interesting :) Best wishes, m0d!

Am doing some benchmarks to improve performance, main page loading random lists has a large impact so bumping those randomized lists to links and increasing the sorted lists, have to wait a few days to see the outcome but can tell already pageload is down from 5s+ to 2s.

Bumping the Quick Picks off to a linked page instead as that is a randomized list as well.
