Sometimes even turning letters into numbers, or letters into numbers that aren't even real!

The infrastructure here in NZ is unimaginably good. The ultra-fast broadband fibre rollout has been a roaring success. 10 Gbps trialing is underway already.

I've fixed this. This was a bug with the dark theme that doesn't appear to have otherwise been fixed by the upstream maintainer yet.

Internet set up with new ISP. It's everything that I wanted it to be!

Back from visiting the South Island for a week and a half with partner and a couple of mates! Here's a small sampling of the many pictures I took...

^^ This was pushed back to July 7th since I'm going on leave for a South Island trip starting this weekend and they couldn't guarantee they'd be able to get the fibre provider to provision the ONT in time. I don't want to be remotely walking my flatmates through the process of making a few router config changes, so I'll just take care of it when I'm back haha. Working from home today in the meantime. Haven't had a WFH day in a while. At least the VPN plays rather nicely these days.

Fixed.

Switching ISPs tomorrow! We'll still be on a 1000/500 Mbps plan, but we'll be paying ~$13 USD more per month, though for a provider with substantially better routing and peering. We'll be at ~$78 USD per month for that revised 1000/500 Mbps plan with a static IP. It should be more reliable as well, so I'll be able to resume my plans with hosting more from home.

This is a result of the forum software update. Namely, for 4.4.0: Removed the name of the content (e.g. topic) from the “Next Unread” link which could consume significant server resources on large communities. Unfortunately, I cannot revert this.

Group colours will show on usernames in threads again, both on desktop and on mobile. First step in getting the functionality restored. Do know that your custom colours are still there - they're only just disabled because they don't function nicely after the updates and require some development.

We're back online after maintenance! As mentioned in the announcement, custom colours are unfortunately not currently functional. This will be next on my list of Ninfora-related tasks to tackle - though it may take a while for me to get to it. The big improvements under the hood should improve performance by ~10-20%+. As always, report any issues if you run into anything.

30 minutes until site maintenance!

Cyberpunk 2077 aside, there weren't really any games that piqued my interest at this E3. Then Nintendo came along! Switch is such a good console.

No, nothing will be lost.

Thank you! I'm quite excited for the upgrade since it will ultimately make my life much easier, and the site will be even more maintainable going into the future. Plus, the upgrades going in should make the site 10-20%+ faster as well! Fixing username colours is next on my list of Ninfora-related tasks to do. But I also have a lot more on my plate with the servers that I've procured recently enough. This has been an exciting and demanding year, to say the least.
