New DNS Server
I switched from the official google-DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) to my own DNS Server just now. With full caching, root zone transfer and statistics logging, things are faster on the lookups. This should benefit us all, alongside with one less dependency on a major corporation.
Even tho you can use alpha-labs as your DNS server, you should refrain from doing so at this time. The IP of the DNS will change in a few weeks again. Also, it’s in testing.

No more inband jabber registrations
Hey all,
due to massive amounts of spam-accounts created (I am talking 15,000+ accounts daily) I disabled the option to register via jabber client. Users now must register via the registration button on the homepage, captcha included.

There we go.
It’s 2013,
and having a simple splash screen with the servers logo does not cut it anymore. Incredibly alpha-labs.net has made it from 2001 to 2013, thats nearly 13 years of service, with only two major downtimes in all that time. I honestly can’t tell just how many petabytes of data we have pushed around, but it’s save to say a few.
Also, with the new upcoming projects this server just asks for a new, central place of information. This is it.
