    Awesome, was the server move motivated by the influx of new users?

      Yes, it was running on a server used for other things and I didn’t want it affecting the performance of those other things.

      I’m curious, what’s the hosting setup?

        A (real) server in California running OpenBSD.

          Any reason for OpenBSD, other than the high security? Personally, I’m a FreeBSD fan for servers.

            I’m an OpenBSD developer and it’s just what I’ve used for everything for the past decade or so.
