This is just a quick announcement that the server cluster migration was more or less successful. Japanese Dream was down for more than a month, because one of the hosts refused to boot. Then I had issues with my internet connection. During the holidays two ARM shitboxes have been replaced with low-power X86 computers with NVMe SSD storage, eliminating one of the two major bottlenecks that is I/O latency (the other being my upload speed).

Along with hardware upgrades I also upgraded the software stack. There are still bugs that need to be resolved, but hopefully they won't be affecting the site's general usability.

Happy New Year to everyone reading this. Expect a 2022 summary post soonTM.
