Hi there, it’s been a minute again. So a heads up, if anyone is reading. Starting tonight (August 6th, 2025) I will be shutting down my Minecraft servers fully. This is not something that I intend to keep down for good, but I have not many reasons to keep them running right now.
Let’s start with ripping the band-aid off. Noone plays on the servers. They have sat empty for basically montha outside of myself, and I see no reason to keep them running 24/7 if they only need to run if I hop on. And I haven’t even had much motivation for MC for a minute, so even that is shakey. It doesn’t help that the Archipelago implementation of Minecraft is currently busted, meaning I can’t even do anything with that. I may as well conserve a bit of pc power and just spin up an MC server if an event is happening for now.
Related to that, my electric bill has been skyrocketting due to increasing rates in my local area. While my backroom ‘server’ pc will stay on for other programs, it may be smart to try to at least have it use less power daily, especially since current financial status is not great.
This site and others I self host should stay up. I like having my own little cloud server and stuff like that. I may consider shutting off some site frontends that I don’t use, like the imgur frontend, but that’s not really something others would use.
That’s all for now.
