kbin.earth server upgraded! (kbin.earth)

I noticed pages were taking a bit longer than expected to load, so I ended up upgrading to a new server. It already seems faster (and let's hope it stays that way too). As always, let me know if you notice any peculiarities that might have been caused by the upgrade.

i think the stats over at https://mbin.fediverse.observer/list speak for themselves.. coming up on the 2 year mark for the top servers with general uptime over 97%. that seems longer and better than kbin ever achieved.

the devs have fixed a huge number of internal issues left over from kbin, and added a ton of features.

one thing we do need as a platform is more users. more users will require admins to thoughtfully construct scaling methods and highlight pain points that might need addressing in code.

running one of these, most of my issues are with latency due to my own self-imposed resource constraints. its pretty solid from my point of view. i cant remember the last time something (service or database issue) took the server/site down. the tech support from the dev team is great.

i spend most of my time contemplating the next scaling steps to allow for more users whereas last year it was more about getting the server stable.
