Does anyone else have trouble with Read New? About half the time now, when I click on that instead of the specific thread, the browser crashes.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

It getting about time to transition to the new board. I need to update the new board code and make sure it works on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I'd like to host on Digital Ocean or AWS, but I'd need help getting the domain redirected.

I have all those details if you can tell me what you need/what I need to do!

Gud, are there funds needed?

I don't think so. If we went with AWS and reserved a 2 CPU 1 GB RAM webserver and a 2 CPU 1 GB RAM database for 3 years, it would be $327. That breaks down to $9 a month. We might use some S3 storage as well for archived material, but that would be very low cost. Add a little for DNS service and maybe $11 a month. I'm not sure how that compares to current hosting cost. That won't provide failover if an Amazon data center goes down, but that seems pretty livable.
We could also just host the database on the webserver machine and cut costs even more, but that using the AWS database service means they manage the DB and backups and such which is nice.

I try to avoid Amazon in general, but what kind of options are there?

You mean other hosting options? Digital Ocean is a good option, probably similar in price but without the managed database (unless they've added that). There's also Azure, but I don't know what their pricing is. Probably not too different. Google has cloud services as well.

Pretty much everyone uses Amazon Web Services every day even if they aren't aware of it.

Yeah, that's what I mean -- is there any avoiding it? If the answer is no, that's fine.
