due to increasing costs of US based servers + our recent call for donations still falling short of the current costs ( scanlines receives €6.06 per week from 8 patrons. Goal: €10.00) i have attempted to migrate both this forum and our community video hosting to cheaper virtual machines based in europe.
this has already been completed (with minimum server downtime) but please let me know if you see anything acting strangely across either of these services.
fwiw we moved:
- scanlines.xyz : 3cpu,4ram → 4cpu,8ram for 30% less
- videos.scanlines.xyz : same specs for 60% less
hopfully this will help our current donations last a bit longer. it could be an option to drop the forum machine down in specs slightly (to a 2cpu,4ram machine for around 50% more savings here but will see how we go…)
