When I have lots of pie I often give out slices to posts that I think are extra special - there's a way to include a little note with the slice, and also a way to send pie anonymously. You should be able to see a little picture of pie above each post now, and to send pie, you can just click on that and it's easy.



That's my favorite way to send them out, too. They're kind of like special notes to people. They're also a way to try to brighten someone's day who's having a hard time. For instance, if someone's beloved dog died, giving them a thumbs-up seems a bit odd, but I could send them pie to say something like, "I'm so sorry for your loss. Dogs are such special friends."

It's a really nice way to say, "Thank you," or to show you care. It's also a fun way to congratulate people when cool things are happening in their lives!

Some of you have reported some server outages.  We are trying to hold things together with duct tape and baling wire for now ...  The funds have been sent for a new server, but it takes a bit of time ...

Pro-tip: pre-2012 bubblegum works well as an insulator for frayed wire, but in our post-apocalyptic world, the heavy metals contamination of oft-used sugar substitutes and the microplastics in everything have reduced its usefulness. This was about the time MacGuyver retired to the wilds of Patagonia in an attempt to keep his knowledge-base pertinent.

Perhaps some spruce sap mixed with crushed up charcoal and some wood ash could work just as well ?  Report your findings here!

And, being serious now, hope the setup and transfer runs smooth. Permies is foundational in this (growing) community of "what box? I don't see a box" thinkers.

The server was ordered and there is a component on backorder.

In related news, the duct tape, baling wire and wd40 appears to be holding things together here rather well.  (well done Devaka!)

Server is installed ....   and there have been some bumps in the road, so we are still running on the old server and having problems (permies has been offline for about an hour and a half today (6 crashes)).  Host thinks problems should be resolved by this weekend and we will begin the move to the new server then.

Update: We have finalized on lot of things on the new server. We have installed upgraded versions of our database, server software, and a bunch of related stuff. We are just waiting on getting our forum software updated to support the latest java version. I hope we will be able to complete our migration within the next couple of weeks.

And a big update!

We have finally managed to get an upgraded version of the forum software to run on the new server. We still have a few issues to figure out. But they seem to be minor. 95% of the work is done!

Pretty soon we will arrange a window of time to migrate permies to the new server.

We finally managed to fix one 'small' issue with our email servers that haunted us for the past few days... and nights!

I'm gonna call it 99% done.

It's just a matter of a final round of testing and then we will arrange a window of time for server migration.

The plan is that for a couple of hours, during the transition, permies will become read-only. No worries if you try to post, like, comment, give apples, etc. The software will tell you to try again later. The developers have spent a lot of time and care to make the transition seem easy to the end users.

A big thank you to the Paul, the developers, and the donors who funded the new server.

Gotta tip the hat to devaka and our host evolution hosting.  I was cc'd on a lot of emails over the last few months to make this transition quick!  And Devaka did a mountain of development changes also.  This was a huge project!
