Maintenance RSS Feed

April 27, 2021 11:09

What’s that?! Okay, in the recent years I’ve become a service provider to more and more people (which is fine by me), but when I need to do maintenance to my server I now have to contact all of them. Individually. Using their preferred way of communication. Me, contacting all of you - visual representation only, not actual footage. As you may imagine, this is sort of a pain in the b*tt - especially when I need to move the maintenance window or may want to report about outages… So here is my solution: As I already have my website on which I publish maintenance notes and also already render the needed RSS feeds - why not use these?

SQLite to MariaDB Migration of Solder

June 2, 2020 13:03

What happended? Well, quick and simple: I needed to migrate my Solder service for the Technic Launcher to an other database backend for several reasons. One main reason was, that the current hoster of it planned to shutdown some deprecated PHP versions - but Solder does not support the sqlite database for newer PHP versions anymore. So I needed to switch the database solution (without loosing too much data, because the instance houses several hundert modification at the time) right now.
