First, apologies for the general leadership activity slowing down in the past month. Yes, the 2023 Lather Games are taking up QUITE a bit of bandwidth for the management team, but there is still a lot of interest in keeping this party going!
Some features that worked well in the beginning, like automated daily posts, ran into some problems which have yet to be resolved. That type of thing is on the list to get going again, but not until we get everything else organized.
Behind the scenes a small team has started to work on the future of sub.wetshaving.social. As it stands right now, everything is basically controlled by one person (@merikus@sub.wetshaving.social), and the domain name is owned by another person (hence it’s relation to wetshaving.social, the Mastodon instance).
What do we want to accomplish?
- Multiple people having access to the hosting to provide support for updates/downtime.
- Multiple people having access to the domain name to make sure it gets renewed, etc.
- Potentially a different hosting setup (options are keep it hosted where it is now, move it to another hosting platform, or host it in a homelab.
- A different domain name? More research needs to be done on how this would affect accounts, etc.
The hosting is currently done by knthost.com. We were in a beta group which is ending on Nov. 1st. At that point, they will start charging us for the hosting. Financially we are in good shape in the short term, and we’re leaning towards keeping the hosting where it is.
So stay tuned in the coming weeks/months. We aren’t going anywhere!
