And would this shift into AWS involve any of our former posts being deleted? I hope not, but I'm currently in the process of saving my Deep Hurting Project posts just in case (I think I'm about a quarter of the way there now.)

Ah were back
Hi everyone

Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?” –SHIRLEY CHISHOLM  (April 12, 2022 at 9:22 pm)Tiberius Wrote: If AWS is more economical that might make sense. It can be. *If* it can run Fargate, and I think it can, it can be run very cheaply. The most expensive component is the DB and it's storage. If you have to run it in EC2 (i.e. virtualized Linux hosts), it's less cheap, but you can still autoscale very cheap virtual hardware. (April 12, 2022 at 9:26 pm)Rev.

The whole goal of a lift and shift is to preserve data and function. So, yes, that is my goal. Tiberius holds the keys, so it's really up to him the direction things go.

And, of course, we all have our time, and so, it would be a good idea for Tiberius (or anyone else) to make sure that a backup admin can pick up the reins if need be. As for the ultimate cheapo server, one could configure things as a Tor hidden service and then publicize the .onion address on Usenet or whatever, but, volume to the site would plummet, as Google would not be crawling it, but, it would be the ultimate in cheapness. Of course, there would be more administrative overhead, as one would need to perform regular backups, which brings me to this not-so-pithy quote: Quote:Two classes of hard disks exist, those that have failed and those that someday will.
I think a clearnet forum would be ideal, Jehanne.

Backup everything important!
<insert profound quote here>
The server costs have nothing to do with the site being on the public internet. Making it a Tor-only service doesn't magically remove the need for database storage and the hardware needed to actually handle the forum software without significant lag. It would also destroy usability, and Tor isn't exactly known for its speed either.
