Another electrical fault at Greenwood! This time it was a dead short in the bathroom power point. Thanks to my sparky mates we are back up and running. Downtime this outage was a day and a bit. T

Thanks to Western Power I once again lost power at the location of the Greenwood server. This time Western Power replaced some cable in the street or similar resulting in no power for a few hours. Thanks to the redundant systems of DarkNet the server didn’t fail. T

As of today DarkNet is the proud owner of a new server! The beast is a quad xeon dell poweredge. Each CPU core is running at 2.1Ghz and the server has a total of 6gig of ram. This should be enough to keep all of DarkNet’s systems running at top speed. The server is being colocated [...]
