Planned maintenance on April 18th
The company which is hosting part of my server (download mirror, domain and a few other things) announced that my VPS will be moved to another location (datacenter) on 18th of April.
The IP address is going to be changed so I think the server will be unavailable for at least couple of hours, maybe up to a day.

Server maintenance
Tomorrow (04.03.2013) around 08:00 GMT the server will go offline for 12-24 hours.
The reason for this is hardware replacement, the old server barely keeps up running under load and has serious performance issues.
The swap is going to take a while because I need to copy data from both old drives, I hope that 'dd' image will do the trick.

New M4 batch - U-534 P1030680
The work generator will be restarted today, running a new M4 batch on VROL NMKA naval message.
At first there will be only a short test batch to check the server backend, after the tests the server will resume in auto mode with lots of work.
It's also possible that the server will go down for a couple of hours during the next days; as the system hard drive needs to be replaced.

No work available
As probably everyone noticed, there is no work available for a long period of time.
Unfortunately it's not going to change soon, because I have to find a replacement server.
The old machine is not reliable anymore, it passes stress tests yet freezes randomly after couple of days (or even weeks sometimes) during normal operation, which is not acceptable.
The worst part however are the HDDs, only two still alive, one is damaged already while the other starts to suffer from old age (was online for over 3,5 years).
In current state the server barely keeps the website up, so any work has to wait until I'll get the new hardware setup, which is going to take a while.
