First Patreon-month towards a new server!
Added 2018-05-03 13:59:05 +0000 UTCThis is the first month that Craig's brought in more than $70, which was the level set to get a new, better server. As said in the information on that level, I'm going to wait a second Patreon-month, as setting up a new server is a rather pricey and complicated thing, and patrons have been known to be fickle, but I'd like to thank you all again for helping to grow Craig. Barring too many unexpected cancellations, expect a new server in about a month's time!
In terms of what a new server means for you... well, not much :). I'll have more disk space, so I'll up all the download timeouts. Downloads should be a bit snappier, as the limiting factor on downloading from Craig isn't network speed, but processing, which is CPU-bound. It's possible that with a bit more computing power the recording quality will improve marginally (getting more accurate timestamps for when data arrives by being able to schedule the recording process more immediately), but I wouldn't count on it.
Thanks again!,
