# State of the Thunix - Janurary 2020 # State Of The Thunix - February 2020
Well happy new years to all you Thunixers! Hope 2019 was a blast. New month Thunixers, and latest update!
Thunix.net is officially over 1 years old this month! We've had some Things are moving along swimmingly, more or less. We implemented a new

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.

* Rather liberal storage, RAM, and CPU usage guidelines
* Our services are encrypted via TLS whenever posssible (Email, chat,

* We have a Tor Onion service for all services
* Multiple open source projects have had their births here
* We've iterated through **three** major software versions for our website
* We now have a community wiki
And tons more. This is all largely thanks to you, the community that, We are projecting to do the hardware migration in February, but it is

Namely, our terms of service will get cleaned up, and some additions made.
The privacy policy will be getting reworked as well, to be far clearer in
what we do. We will also be considering adoption a separate "Code of
Conduct" for community members.
That being said, last week, we implemented a third party email monitoring
service. NO. They do not get your emails, and scan them. We would never
even consider that. But, our deliverability reports are sent to a company
called "Postmark." They aggregate our DMARC reports, and send us nice
reports. They do not get any of your personal information, but we most
certainly want to be open about when we engage in third parties for our
data analysis. When we can, it will be replaced with a open source tool,
but that requires us to write one, because at this time, none exist.
So, all that: I'm looking forward to a great 2020! We will keep growing,
and maybe the US will come out of it with a sane president, instead of the
current dumpster fire :) Cheers, and excited to have you all aboard for
many more years to come!
