big infrastructure tasks to manage: the new serverroom

Filed under: Uncategorized — binsh @ 9:58 pm

today i called for a recreation event to the vivi. stefan nussbaumer ( dieelektronische nuss ) form basislager came and helped me checking out the list of sonance hosted domains. pinzo from karate-joe brougt a machine to print out stickers to makr our lines. foo was here, helping a while. more |sonance|members did not step by on the announced event today. anyway……

the great shira carmel http://shira.sonance.net did manage to put every singe page of the online handbook into an proper english. thanks a lot shira.

It was getting a looong list by this day.in the new management software too there are now listed 159 of hosted dDomains, 178 wWebsites and 307 user mail / ftp accounts. This is the largest number of users sonance ever reached. The network keeps growing.
 
You can find a full list of all migrated, sonance network hosted domains here.
some of the webpages are still out of order or missing some pictures. upload, update and repair your webpages please.
 
please report any error you find, error by error onto the support email adresse while you are browsing this list
 
all databases should all be up running again to. if not, please report it also to the emailadress abough.
 
thank you.
 
the webservice should be more or less up and running again.
 
still the import of the user email boxes is to be done. if you want your OLD sonance User email INBOX to be imported to you NEW useraccount, please give us a mail too. tell us your old username and the new mailbox_username_domainname thing where we should put the OLD MAIL INBOX.
 
we plan to put all email and ftp user folders from the former system into each userftp directory anyway. you can then download your OLD email INBOX and MAILFOLDERS form your personal ftp account in mbox fromat.
 
the username to get access to you private-user-ftp-space is the same username as your email_user_name and the matching password.
 
well andreas, wolfgang, flo, matthias and 2 more people from funkfeuer are on the way to light up the fibreoptics link to the new serverroom. the are at the moment working on building up new shelves over there and splicing newhe firbeoptic lines form our old space to the new one.
 
the time of the transport of the |sonance|automats to the new space is no very far way any more. there are coming good a bad news with this transport. well the good thing is: it is a save place there and “our” i mean the funkfeuer’s infrastructure. the bad onec are: from that move one i have to pay 40 euros / per machine / per month.
 
well i do not really know how to handel that efford. i allready were covering a lot of costs of that quantities since years now for that network. for example only the hardware of the new server where all stuff is running on, did cost me around 4500 euros a year ago! this hobby does get quiet but more and more expensive for me.
 
i mean 5 machines X 40,- euronen X 12 month equals 2400 bugs per year ;-( without hardware costs.
 
ok, all traffic is included. this price covers just the costs of the electric power ( one machine 24×7 needs power for around about 30,- euro per month! )
 
 
yes: cyberhomes are expensive! specialy the free ones…… but not 4 you!
 
can you belive that: 30 euro electric power, 10 euro transfer-traffic-costs. the power is more expensive the the information trafic, nowadays in austria.
 
i mean, not that 40 euros per machine is a lot of money to get a serverhousing. no, it is cheap, but for me as private person it is just a lot of money per month 200 euros. that is just about as much as i pay for my part of the falt! i wanted to tell this to all of the sonance users, once, and now i have this change.
 
You can help us paying this feed, after we finished setting up the cultural accosiation with fundings, donations of sponsorings, if you are intressted in.
 
AND: you may will have the possibility to put your own machine there one day on such a price, if you are cultural producer.
 
we still hope on the city gouvernment of vienna that they deliver ther promise this year, also after the elections.
 
again a very, very big hug to franz xaver from http://medien.kunstlabor.at graz to enable us mondbasis, 5uper.net, funkfeuer, lo-res and sonance to get the possibilitie to build such a great infrastructure here in and for vienna.
