The site is a gemini site, churned out to static files on the WWW :

Server

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.

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.
