Land of Karchan

My apologies for the delay.

Published Date Jun 26, 2019 10:41:21 PM

y vacation is over and I'm back. The game is back online.

I also created a fresh backup, upgraded the system, and installed a new Payara server (192, if anyone's interested).

Once again, sorry for the long delay. It probably won't happen again.

High regards,

Maintenance

Published Date May 28, 2019 9:52:51 AM

he server required a new Linux kernel (instead of the old 4.14.12, we're now running on 4.19.44) for security reasons. I also upgraded all software packages and made a new backup and all that.

Just regular maintenance.

The server is back up.

High regards,

P.S. for anyone who is interested, the security reasons mentioned above is with regards to weaknesses in Intel processors nicknamed ZombieLoad, RIDL and Fallout and you can find something about it at https://cpu.fail.

Updated SSL Certificate

orry for the scare, people. The SSL certificate had expired, and I had forgotten to update it in time.The SSL Certificate of Let's Encrypt has now been renewed for another three months.

It's scheduled to expire on 8th of July 2019. You can check with the little "lock" icon in your browser address bar.

Hence also the little period the server was down, had to install it.

Regards,

Release notes - version 2.0.0

Published Date Jan 27, 2019 11:05:00 PM

ell, we've been running the current version for a while, and I promised myself to put something like release notes out there, on what has changed.

This of course doesn't even come close to what real Release Notes are, but it's a start.

This can be seen more like an initial statement, and the follow up release notes will contain more information on what's changed and what's new.

High regards,
