Baikal (our old server) could no longer handle the load, was constantly crashing
Rathouse (our NEW server) was already racked up and ready to go
We wanted to wait until we could get Virtual Machine disk snapshots working on the new system before we migrated... but real life had other plans for us
We no longer have automatic backups. Sorry. We are working on it.
On the bright side, the new server is faster, has much more reliable disks,
and they are configured in a way that should give you better performance.
Capsul was fully down for about a day and a half.

2022-02-09: Introduced a distinction between "short term" and "long term" capsuls
NEW! You can now create a capsul even if your account doesn't have the funds required to keep it running for a month
Short term capsuls will be deleted without warning as soon as your account reaches $0
As always, you will recieve multiple warning emails as your account runs out of funds before any long term capsuls will be deleted

2021-12-16: Baikal host operating system upgraded from Debian 10 (buster) to Debian 11 (bullseye)
This updated QEMU to the point where the virtio-blk storage driver supports trim/discard operations,
which should save us disk space while improving capsul storage performance
