# State Of The Thunix - February 2020
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New month Thunixers, and latest update!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Things are moving along swimmingly, more or less. We implemented a new
|
|
|
|
|
account recovery feature, which users are taking advantage of. And,
|
|
|
|
|
if you're in the IRC channel, you've been noticing a new project being
|
|
|
|
|
worked on: The Thunix API. Also, we were planning a migration to new
|
|
|
|
|
hardware this month, but that has been postponed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you've not set up your account recovery information, please make sure
|
|
|
|
|
you do so, soon, to ensure you can recover your account in the future,
|
|
|
|
|
should the need arise. Just put an email address or recovery passphrase
|
|
|
|
|
in ~/.thunix/recovery, and chmod 600 that file. This ensures only you
|
|
|
|
|
can see it (And the admin team when we need to), and we have a way of
|
|
|
|
|
reaching out and verifying it is you requesting the recovery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are projecting to do the hardware migration in February, but it is
|
|
|
|
|
still in flux a little. We'll let you know in IRC, and via email when
|
|
|
|
|
the time comes. You shouldn't notice anything different other than a
|
|
|
|
|
new IP address, but we will preserve the ssh keys, so you won't have to
|
|
|
|
|
worry about ssh breaking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, we are working on an API to get info about the Thunix
|
|
|
|
|
systems, and also, to do some of the management for it, remotely.
|
|
|
|
|
This will enable us to (in the future) build some pretty awesome
|
|
|
|
|
apps around the system itself. If you would like to help with
|
|
|
|
|
the API development work, feel free to join us at [thunix_api git
|
|
