PhoenixNet-Labs

This has been something we've been wanting to do for a long time now, but PhoenixNet-Labs now offers transparency on our financials. After much debate on which platform to use, testing with different vendors we decided to go in-house and build our "dream product" that covers everything we want.

Kipper also allows us to generate invoices, and email them to clients, following a standard invoice format, and allows us to attach payment links. (These screenshots are from internal testing, and don't fully represent our final product)

Ultimately, we wanted something like OpenCollective, where we can lay out our spending, income, and other upcoming expenses in a clear visual format without frustrating fees, and paywalled features. Our tool is named "Kipper" but in short, we just call it "Kip"

I've been working really hard on moving our users over to OIDC this past week, and one of the major things we've been struggling with is integrating OIDC with our mail provider! Using MXRoute's API, I put together a panel that allows our users to login using OIDC and link / create an email address!

Totally didn't see that one coming; looking at signing a colocation contract today possibly! 😅 Had an offer come up that I just couldn't resist!

Our migration from NOCIX to OVH is now complete: All resources have been successfully migrated from NOCIX to OVH as of 2:00 AM CST. Respectfully, we have also concluded our service with NOCIX in response to recent company practices and concerns. We wish them luck on their future endeavors.

Finally bit the bullet on purchasing / finalizing our ASN. This has been one of those "I'm not sure... Maybe... Why do I...?" type things, but honestly, it should be a good step in the right direction for the company. Will reply to this thread when it's assigned with what it is! 😎

First *mirrored* post, hopefully! 🤞

Working on switching hosting providers this week, our current hosting provider has had a rather negative track record lately, and I decided that it would be best to move on. Took a look around at a few options, and landed on switching to OVH, their support is nice, and pricing is fair.

Folks online were also rather displeased, and spoke openly about it on Reddit. While I am trying to keep this professional, I share their feelings on the matter as this server runs a good portion of my business' traffic. In the past year or so, I've noticed traffic slowdowns, and other issues.
