Hello

laptopcat - 28th February, 2025

In this blog post, I will talk a bit about what's been going on in maid.zone, and what the plans are for the future.

New Website

If you've seen maid.zone before 2025 (or maybe in early 2025), you'll know what the old website looked like. It didn't look very well, so me and Jonas decided to rework it. First, I made an HTML version of this new website. Then, Jonas decided it would be good to rewrite it in Astro, and he also improved the design quite a bit. Finally, I decided to rewrite it in Go, so I can add interesting things in the backend (visitor counter, contact form)

I really like the end result. I also decided to make the repository for the website public, why not: git.maid.zone/stuff/website

Expanding our presence

I have rented another VPS in London. Right now, it's used for second instances of soundcloak and rens.

I've also applied for an ASN sometime ago, and received it yesterday.
Because I'm underage (birthday in a few days :D still underage), I had to get my parents involved.
But in the end, it turned out well.
I now have AS212470 and 2a0f:85c1:bac::/48.
They are announced from the VPS in London.
If your internet provider has IPv6, you can try to visit a test page, served from that range: test.lon.maid.zone

Plans for the future?
Well, I would like to rent out some more servers in different parts of the world, and try making our own anycast network.
Probably also have some privacy frontends there.
I don't have a job, so I'm not sure if it's gonna be a very big network, but it'll be something.

That's it for now. Maybe there will be other posts in the future. Maybe also from other members. Bye
