Volunteers who are working on or with Marbled Fennec Networks and/or FurrIX should take a moment to read over our Code of Operations, as it has been updated to reflect changes to our projects and their expectations.
Category: Membership
For when there are changes to our membership, project board or partner networks.
Marbled Fennec Networks has gone through the interview process, vetting and getting to know a new volunteer who has passed all of our checks and is being setup to work alongside our teams. Aurora is a Florida fur who will be going through training with our network volunteers to begin their role as the secondary tech for our networking stack. Once everything is in place for them, they will be responsible for things like firmware upgrades, managing a Minecraft instance and helping with the support desk.
As mentioned in our last post, VM and VPS hosting was on the chopping block due to resources getting tighter on our physical hosts. As of today, Marbled Fennec Networks no longer offers the hosting of Virtual Machines or Virtual Private Servers for our project members or guest. We have been just barely squeaking by on disk space and have decided that for the longevity of both MFN and FurrIX, this is a service that has been cut.
Project members and guest who currently have VM or VPS service with us will continue to see their instances serviced; we won’t be accepting any new applications for this type of service and members or guest who let their service registration lapse will not be able to regain hosted services with us. We know this is not what our members and guest want to hear, but we have to keep our servers and routers operational above everything else.
Our team voted to decommission our old website. So as of today, it is no longer reachable on our web server.
We also have been working to add server stats to our website and that seems to have went well and is live as of this post.
Also, various policies were updated to reflect us partnering with FurrIX. Give things a quick read over when you have time, project members. The biggest change is probably that we are going to no longer be offering in house VM hosting, as we just don’t have the resources to continue with that service offering. None of our other services are affected.
