After the devastating past few days, I can finally present a few upcoming news. Now it will be mainly repairs. Changes in map systems are very complex and extensive, this should be taken into account. Therefore, their modification or repair is extensive, which even if it takes tens of thousands of changes just for the correct functioning of textures after random movements (fear), you need to proceed very carefully and leave nothing to chance. After each major change, the maps need to be extracted again. This activity takes several tens of hours, the last extraction took more than 20 hours. I am therefore only able to make one major change per day and then the days seem to do nothing. In the process, I work on other things, such as the next steps in the revolution, sorting and other, off-server activities.
After explaining the situation, I would like to point out that our server is finally clean from attacks and we have survived the worst wave of attacks in the history of the server. I would like to thank all those who participated in the resistance, the authorities of the Czech Republic and all those who helped financially. You can see that you care about the security of the entire server, as well as we do, and we all take it very seriously and strive to increase it every day. In the near future, I plan to put the entire website under the protection of SSL protocol, certified by appropriate authorities (for a larger fee), which will introduce on our server the last stage of security before the launch of a new website and a new system of self-government, which is already peeking around the corner. Other actions such as cleaning and handing out small reminders for the help of the server will be done in the next few days in my free time. Thank you and attention.
