This version of the /server/ page ceased to be relevant Lun 7 fév 2022 03:05:24 CET and was moved to the archive.
An ammended version of this page was updated Sam 22 jan 2022 16:10:02 CET
The site is a gemini site, churned out to static files on the WWW :
Freebox Delta VM (Machines Virtuelles)
OH.MG is comprised of four servers and three DreamObjects buckets for data storage, three of the servers are self hosted on site in Paris, France and the fourth (for now) is a DreamCompute Instance that pushes updates to the DreamObjects buckets.
The Firewall routes the ports over to the individual machines behind them
This set up is very much beta test slash in production, so there is always going to be some play with caching times, physical setup, and of course because it's a home server, downtime.
You can check the uptime stats on the site below
I've not yet figured out the fix to make this IPv6 compatable, updates of the project can be found below.
DNS is hosted by CloudFlare (I KNOW) and is IPv6 compatable. CF's CDN is only used on certain subdomains that are unable to properly serve their own certs.
I use a self hosted instance of Axigen for OH.MG's email.
This site doesn't use web trackers, only GoatCounter and Plausable that records site usage information and not individual user data.

On Gemini and Gopher, minimal to non-existent connection logs are kept and all physical machines hard drives are encrypted in case of theft (because Paris).
There are three active domains currently in use - oh.mg, free.mg, and oh.mr. There are also 4 connected domains - omg.bi, ô.lu (xn--lda.lu), oh.sbs, and omg.army.
.mg is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Madagascar.
.mr is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Mauritania.
.bi is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Burundi.
.lu is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Luxembourg.
.sbs is a smart abbreviation for ‘Side by Side’. Names paired with .sbs are instantly distinguishable and piquet the interest of anyone who comes across it.
There isn't a real statement on what the gTLD runs this name for, one would expect trying to get some of that sweet skrilla (see .sucks) then realised they had to discount the shit out of it to make it worth while. I don't exactly agree with the imperialist corporate war machine that the modern army happens to be, but omg.army was available and it's all lolz. As far as I'm aware this gTLD has no connection to a particular military aparatus or funds one.
There are some legacy ones knocking around, but generally they're now starting to redirect here.
