In a few days (depending on datacenter's delivery time), Batoto is going to be moving main web servers. No downtime for reading is expected, but downtime for uploading is expected. Shouldn't be too long, few hours at most. Retire the old hardware (though not that old) and get brand new ones and save money while at it. Seems like a win-win scenario. Briefly for the nerds, 3x servers with E5-1650v2s are ordered.

 

Along with physical move, I'm going to move the domain as well to: bato.to 

I actually wanted to move to that quite a while ago... a while ago enough that I probably wasted a bit of money in domain registration renewal by now... haha... I think it just looks more awesome, ya? Bery bery short. The old addresses will be forwarding, so, even if you don't update your bookmarks, you will still be safe.

 

Oh! Don't go to that address yet. It is not setup yet.

 

 

Current status:

2 of the servers have been deployed by the data center. They were supposed to be ready for 25th, but guess they're late on one. So, I'm still waiting for them on ready to move stuff. I will definitely move before Sept 1st (that's when old one goes kaplowy).

Ohhh...nice!

Here's hoping everything goes as it ideally should! (Famous last words, I know, but still.)

Is this also related to the disk failure of a week and change past?

Rejoice, fellow Batotians! For given to us this day is a message from Grumpy himself! After our long months of wandering in the fear of server downtime, and remembering the dark times of DDOS, a light has been shown to us!

A light that will lead us to a new land!

The PROMISED LAND!

A land of bountiful server space, and fresh, untouched cicuitry!

Space enough for all of our various and nefarious activities!

For romance, comedy, action and mature content (which will be swiftly removed for the safety of the children)!

Truly, a land of milk and honey!

 

Praised be to Grumpy, who will lead the promised potatoes to the new land! Blessed be his username, and the domains upon which he treads! May his and his god-like moderators reign with divine mercy for the years to come!

Praised be, oh Based One!

 

 

 

But seriously, thanks for the great news. Glad to hear it's a win-win for everyone involved, really appreciate everything you do for us. Y'all are absolutely fantastic, I'm thrilled to be a part of your community.

Yaaaaaay!
Now that I've given my input,I'll go cry in the corner to prepare myself for the downtime that is to come and the boredom that accompanies it.

dunno about batoto but if it's bato.to or bato to, in my country's language, it means 'this is stone' or 'this is solid' or 'this is strong' or even 'i am strong'. for the exact meaning intended by the owner, i dunno lol.

Um... I get the feeling you didn't actually read the entire post.

That's a pretty good definition. Let us go with that. This is solid... like a potato.

I meant when you do the uploading.
There's 90% chance I'll be reading manga when you start.

Sounds splendid. I'm all in for shorter domain names. I already thought batoto.net was cool, but bato.to is an overkill DNS. It's even better to hear that we're (hopefully) moving to faster servers. I see you have decided to stop being suicidal by making it cost you less as well.

 

Although grumpy, our cat knows how to please his servants.

From Batoto.net to Bato.to eh?

 

Dammit, Grumpy!  Don't you know that senile old farts like me are naturally averse to change because we are so set in our stubborn, irrational ways!?

 

 

*Stomps around the room noisily while feigning righteous indignation...  Then goes to favorite corner to sulk while muttering vile imprecations about Grumpy's questionable ancestry and probable sexual habits of a depraved and highly disgusting nature.*

 

 

And don't try to confuse me with any facts about faster and more efficient service...  I'VE ALREADY MADE UP MY MIND!!!


Always yield to temptation, it may not come your way again!

Thank you for your attention.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled manga, already in progress.
