The Birbhouse (2019–2026)

Birbhouse has been a long-standing effort of combining rented and owned servers across countries and groups to provide a reliable network for its members. We went from a single box at 1984 ehf to 12 different ones across 8 countries and 3 continents that range from short-bursts for handling scene rendering to essential infrastructure for running both internal and public-facing networks.

Unfortunately, many of us running these servers have been put into increasingly awkward positions. As such, Birbhouse is going to take its last flight and then enter hibernation. This decision does not come lightly by any means, but is something that, nevertheless, we've all agreed, as the people maintaining and footing the bill for everything, is for the best.

We thank you for six years of your trust and your understanding as we navigate the ending of this chapter for us all. We hope to come together again in the future to continue providing our services.

Cheers from: Alex (and the animation wizards), Astral, eXo, Mirren's, vee
