Sorry to hear such stuff. Just curious, what do you mean when you say that the infrastructure is not perfect, in what way I mean?

It's fine, but I just have had enough people mention it that I had to say something. People are fucking psychotic.

The infrastructure we have here is a bit unreliable at times with a profound lack of monitoring tools or "automation" (AKA there's no devops).

There's a few reasons for that, but the main ones are that I set this stuff up myself and I've done very little other than run updates, build new packages, and maintain our setup as best I can by myself. I'm an old fashioned sysadmin who despises devops. I see utility in stuff like it, but I've not been very good at learning it because most of it is Python-based. I am, for scripting, primarily a Lua guy.

I'm not a fan of big tech (AWS, Vultr etc) so I've purposely kept us off that. Why? They're hard to use, expensive, and if we ever decide/need to speak outside of big tech's norms, we have the freedom to do so. That's another reason.

I have a job and gotta sleep, but I keep a close eye on the community and stuff, I keep things well moderated and I make sure nothing really "sits" too long so we have a good response time for a lot of issues. I have since the beginning of IRIXNet kept a close eye and worked hard to keep us on top of the new users and ensure everyone is quickly brought up to speed.
