Sudonix

COMPLETED: Scheduled Domain move - Saturday 20th May, 2023

    Hi All,

    As you know, Sudonix has been subjected to recent re-branding from the design perspective. This is now mostly complete, and now the focus is the final part, which is as below (from this post)

    Soon, the domain suffix will change from .com to .org (so, from sudonix.com to sudonix.org). This is completely transparent to all users and you won’t have to change anything. Everything will still work as it did before

    Q: Why is this changing?

    A: The .com TLD suffix is traditionally tied to “for profit” organisation, which Sudonix is not. Adopting the .org domain TLD conveys the message that this really is not-for-profit and therefore, should open up the playing field to others who may have expressed some level of trepidation in terms of creating an account and asking for help for fear that they may be slapped with some form of levy, or get a ton of junk email in return.

    Back “in the day”, there was a clear demarcation between .com and .org domains, but that has since fallen by the wayside where even profit making organisations can use .org and still charge for services. Admittedly, this does sound counter intuitive given our perspective, but it is a route we intend to take as a means of extending the service to those who previously may have kept their distance for the reasons above. The domain of .org is also applied typically to communities (which is what this is), and therefore, another reason to make this change.

    Q: Will Sudonix become a “paid” service

    A: No. There are no plans for this to ever be implemented as it goes directly against the ethic of the pro-bono / free services we set out to provide.

    Q: When will this happen?

    A: The domain migration is planned for this weekend - with the vast majority being completed tomorrow from around 4pm BST. Post the migration, existing links will still work - but they will redirect to sudonix.org automatically.

    Q: What will happen to the .com suffix?

    A: Nothing. It will continue to exist, but will redirect to sudonix.org

    Q: Will any data be lost?

    A: No. The running services on sudonix.com will be stopped, meaning the platform will be inaccessible for the duration of the move. Once the platform has been moved, services will be started on sudonix.org with a redirect placed on sudonix.com (as above). This means that you do not need to do anything on your side, but you should ideally change any bookmarks you have.

    Any other questions, let me know and I’ll be happy to answer them 🙂

    Those with a keen eye may have noticed that we are now using sudonix.org and a redirect has been placed on sudonix.com. Just performing some cleanup, and issuing a new certificate, and we’re golden.

    New wildcard cert issued, and some node modules rebuilt because they broke after the domain move. All good 🙂

    Quick update - I decided to do the redirect from sudonix.com to sudonix.org using Cloudflare’s Edge Network as it’s much more efficient than having to send the request to this server for it to simply then bounce back.

    @phenomlab of course, to be recognised is fantastic.

    @phenomlab said in Ch..ch..ch..ch..changes!:

    Sadly, no. Web crawlers and scrapers are often JS based and read text only, so styles don’t have any bearing.

    I’ve read mixed things about this, but no that does make sense, it was something I read a many years back when using Wordpress.

    I’ve noticed that I’m the only one subscribed to the push notifications on this site. If you were using NTFY previously, and have noticed that you’ve not had any alerts for a while, it’s because this feature has been disabled.

    You’ll now need to use the push notification to replace NTFY as mentioned in the first post.

    I relented somewhat here and added another swatch - one I missed, which was previous called “blackout”. This specific one has been adapted to work on the new theming engine, but the others have been reclassified, and renamed to suit.

    As a result, the theme you might have had will probably be reflecting something else, so you (might) need to change your themes accordingly. The changes are as follows

    Light -> No Change
    Cloudy -> Is now the old “Dim”
    Dim -> Is now the old “Dark”
    Dark -> Now a new theme based on the revamped “Blackout”

    Just coming back to this thread for review (as I often do), and it looks like Webdock have increased their available offerings - some are extremely powerful, yet very competitive from the pricing perspective.

    10 CPU cores, plus 20Gb RAM? Well worth a look (and the asking price) - there’s also a fixed IP which is hugely beneficial.

    Clearly, this is well beyond what most people will want to spend - it’s more of an example (but interestingly, Sudonix runs on something not too different from the above).

    However, not all that glitters is gold 😕 - just have a walk through the benchmark report I found below and you’ll see a huge difference between Heztner and Webdock

    https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/compare/hetzner_vs_webdock

    That being said, the amount of HTTP requests that Webdock handles in relation to Hetzner is superior - @DownPW you might want to have a look at this - there’s a free 24 hour trial… 🙂
