We bought a new domain, psf.lt as a shorter alternative to projectsegfau.lt.

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉

Please welcome our new sysadmin, **Arya**. He's been a sysadmin for the ~vern project since its inception, and has now joined Project Segfault.

Ever since Project Segfault's inception, our servers have been located in Europe.

## Hi

This is Midou speaking. Last month [Devnol](https://devnol.github.io/?ref=blog.projectsegfau.lt) stepped down from the project, in order to work on his personal projects and focus on school.

Today, [Odyssey](https://odyssey346.dev/?ref=blog.projectsegfau.lt) and [akisblack](https://akisblack.github.io/?ref=blog.projectsegfau.lt) have stepped down from the project.

Hello, I am MrLeRien. I manage Soleil Levant.

At about 4:30 AM EST+2, the VM holding almost every crucial service on Project Segfault got abruptly shut down by QEMU, as it detected that the disk has gotten full.

### It's gone for a good reason

## Why?

Well, Discord is a proprietary platform that spies on its users. This is a known fact. It is also a known fact that they pretty much require you to verify your account using a phone number, and that their support team ⌘ [Read more](https://blog.projectsegfau.lt/sunsetting-the-discord/) 2022-07-08T16:39:20Z **New VPS bought!**

#### 7 months into 2022, things are looking good

## So...

Recently we have been focusing on migrating, adding new things, upgrading things, adding members... and now here is the blog post explaining everything that has been going on for the past weeks!

### First of all... new members!

This month, we made a lot of backend improvements, configured psf.lt domains for most of our services,  setup hourly snapshots for VMs on Soleil and more!

## Soleil Levant electricity issues (again)

This month we had some unfortunate events such as the IN Node DDoS and the failed Zen migration. However, we still got stuff done and recovered from our failures. We also had a new member join our team this month.

Hey! It's been a while now, and as usual we are going to report on what we did this month. This time Midou wrote this article, so it may be different than the other times, due to Devrand and Arya's lack of availability they couldn' ⌘ [Read more](https://blog.projectsegfau.lt/state-of-project-segfault-july-2023/) 2023-08-30T06:25:28Z **About Soleil Levant's downtime**
On the 27th of August 2023, around 8:30 PM UTC, Soleil Levant, our main server hosted in France, had heating issues.

MrLeRien tried keeping part of the case open for better airflow but that didn't seem to help.

In around another hour or two, we discovered that ⌘ [Read more](https://blog.projectsegfau.lt/about-soleil-levants-downtime/) 2023-09-01T15:13:45Z **State of Project Segfault: August 2023**
Welp, this was a fun month. We started with IN Node crumbling to its last legs, and had many important changes like the US Node migration and Status VPS decommission, while we ended with Soleil Levant having disk failure. However, we still managed to bring forth some nice improvements to ⌘ [Read more](https://blog.projectsegfau.lt/state-of-project-segfault-august-2023/) 2023-09-30T06:25:23Z **The Future of Project Segfault**
So as you may have known, a few weeks ago Soleil Levant went offline. Its hoster, mrlerien, have grew enough of managing a used, dying server, for almost half a year.

So we have decided to shut down soleil levant forever.

Some Project Segfault services have been impacted by this: ⌘ [Read more](https://blog.projectsegfau.lt/the-future-of-project-segfault/) 2023-11-01T19:00:31Z **State of Project Segfault: October 2023**
And once again we are back with the (somewhat late) state of Project Segfault!

Nothing really happened in this month due to the previously mentioned reduced activity of Project Segfault so we can take care of our real life responsibilities for the time being.
