Summary: January 1^st marked an important milestone/accomplishment: managing to fully migrate Techrights to the new environment (datacentre) with zero downtime, just in time for the new year

TODAY IS MONDAY. Last Monday was the day we moved to the new datacentre, which happens to make the site even faster. We still have occasional hangups on the VMs. But we have identified the causes and are working to reduce unexpected downtimes. We have also started/resumed covering Microsoft/Linux news, leaving aside some of the focus on legal cases in the US. The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the European Patent Office (EPO) will be watched closely for their policy. We depend on sources.

For those who might be curious about numbers, our WordPress database is 4,527,656,147 bytes in size (nearly 25,000 posts). Post attachments in the Techrights blog (images, PDFs, editable documents, leaked documents/mails etc.) now weigh at 21GB in total. The Wiki database is 640,046,205 bytes in total size and the front page (Drupal) 220,979,813 bytes in total. There are many customisations which made the migration far from trivial; testing wasn't straightforward either. Readers are advised to inform us upon encountering any problems (possibly migration issues we've failed to spot and need pinpointing). ⬆
