Ditto what Dana said. I like what I've heard about Digital Ocean.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I created a Buffistas team on Digitial Ocean and invited Jesse so far. If you want an invite, let me know. It should just be people who want/need to deal with the site infrastructure: the webserver proxy, the application server, and the database.

I've provisioned an Ubuntu 20.04 server so far. I'll also provision a managed PostgreSQL database soon.

Yes, I'm in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm afraid I'm not in the group because I changed the email when I was registering. I used my yahoo account, which is first initial last name.

Hmmm.... I'm rethinking using a managed database. Provisioning a more powerful VM, installing a database, and setting up an automatic backup for the system looks more cost effective, provides more storage, and still provides a backup.

I've upgraded from rails 5 to rails 6 locally and so far so good. I was worried it would be a lot messier.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Cross-posted from the beta board:
Three comments make a post:
1. Phoenix is spelled wrong in the site footer.
2. The header in Spike's Bitches has the non-ASCII characters encoded wrong, which leads to:
3. The "Text Encoding" menu on Firefox doesn't work on the new site -- almost surely due to the <meta charset="utf-8"> tag at the top of the page. A lot of the header (and tagline!) stuff on the old board was originally stored in windows-1252 -- that will require careful attention when migrating to the new database.
