Offer To Host A Read Only Mirror In The Uk

d7comx · 10-07-2024, 06:08 AM

Good morning (UK Time)

I am enjoying the site content, but is a shame about the speed. Presumably site is in the US also?

Given my background in computing (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/chris-middleton-49007a206) and the fact that I have around 20 servers available, I would be happy to host a read-only mirror of the site.

The authors will want to maintain the read-write copy, but as the majority of users will be reading, not posting, it may take some query load off the main server and of course give a redundancy to the data.

I have a number of servers available from 12 to 24 core each.

FYI, I have suspended my PhD as I am currently caring for my wife (cancer), but I am at home 24/7 and my computer lab (at home) would just need a pair of servers setup and an IP/domain name rented. The owners could own the domain name to retain control.

Given the speed issues, I would suggest sending a copy of data via snail main and then setting up a sync. None of this would happen overnight, but I thought I would offer.

Anyways, if the site owners want to discuss further, they have my email address.

Kind Regards Chris
