Techrights Turns Thirteen Soon, Traffic at All-Time Record Levels

Been running CentOS all along

Summary: We're about to reach another milestone with an average of 2,000 blog posts/articles per year

JUST over a month is left before our next anniversary -- one that few sites manage to celebrate because Web sites (or blogs) don't tend to last very long. Seeing that IBM intends to keep CentOS going, we might upgrade to CentOS 8 some time in the not-so-distant future. We assessed quite a few alternatives, including Devuan, but seeing that Debian finally entertains another debate on systemd (or init diversity) we might also consider Debian GNU/Linux and its derivatives.



"We're only about a hundred posts shy of 26,000 posts, so we expect that we will have posted 26,000 posts before we turn 13, putting the average pace at 2,000 per year."In terms of traffic, we're still moving up. Over the past half a week we served 2,470,881 requests (checked a short while ago) and the numbers go up every year if not every month. Many things that we wrote a very long time ago turn out to be of interest to a lot of people. We're only about a hundred posts shy of 26,000 posts, so we expect that we will have posted 26,000 posts before we turn 13, putting the average pace at 2,000 per year.
