The Protogen Nexus

oh yeah did i mention we have cool branding now too?

beep! i'd still consider it "beta" but our Sharkey instance is now open for registration. if you're a furry or friend looking to join the fediverse, migrate instances, or just want another fedi account, you can apply at shark.protogen.nexus !

The protogen.chat domain has now been fully retired. It's legacy lives on at the Internet Archive, it's code repo, and of course in the DNA of protogen.nexus. ProtogenRing links pointing to the old domain will still redirect for now, but please update them soon if you haven't!!

Hello from the Protogen Nexus PDS!!!!

We're on fedi now! The Sharkogen Nexus is our new Sharkey instance. We aren't quite ready to invite folks and critters in yet - we want to make sure things are solid first - but you can follow us there too now for updates and announcements if you'd like!

TPN is looking to add an anti AI stance to it's TOS. Please share your input on what that should look like here: tangled.org/protogen.nex... Or in the replies to this post!

i am now a registered protogen fan (moved to the protogen.nexus pds :3)

Whoops, our Bluesky CDN was down since our Bunny trial expired. Auto renew is setup now so it is back up and shouldn’t happen again!

anyone want their ProtogenRing buttons featured on the /webring page in a "Community Buttons" section that others can use?

Due to rapid development of Tangled's Spindle, we won't be hosting one anymore for the time being. We might take another look in the future when things have calmed down a bit. Sorry!

this pushed me to setup another TPN atproto thingy, a cdn. try using cdn.at.protogen.nexus with a client like Witchsky or tenna.party :3 it runs on the same hardware as the rest of TPN but is accelerated by BunnyCDN (thought that'd be a nice alternative to all the Cloudflare stuff out there)

The time has finally come! We'll officially now be known as... The Protogen Nexus! Be sure to check out the revamped site and switch your links to protogen.nexus , especially ProtogenRing members! Registrations for new services will slowly resume too, so beep here if you want in on anything :3

feeling very relaxed... very... tranquil, if you will~

test

ok? things are down cause power out again? this happened yesterday morning too, just was too eepy to post. this is getting annoying hydroone!

i think everything is back up now, idk bruh i been too busy kissing @lorefoxxe.aetherios.net uwu

Due to a power outage, services are currently down. They will hopefully be restored within a few hours, but might take until late Sunday since Jax is visiting his partner rn. Sorry!

lowk want to add minecraft chest open/close sound effect to this...

hii, jax here (as always) just wanted to post a small update: i took started lil break from web dev stuff a bit ago since i kinda burnt myself out. slowly starting progress on the site again tho don’t think the first new version will have everything i want, hoping to have something done before AWU

we’re so back

powers out stuff going down for now byeeeee!!

heads up! new applications for ALL protogen​.chat services are paused, effective immediately. a restructure affecting just about everything is being planned! existing users of protogen​.chat services will be unaffected for now. but if you’re one of those users and have any questions, send a dm!

the source code for protogen.chat has moved from github to tangled.org! this is thanks to their improvements to spindles (ci/cd runners), they seem to be super reliable now also thanks to myself finally properly self hosting one! its at spindle.protogen.chat and available to others upon request :3

the ISP for the main server that protogen chat runs on has been having some major issues since yesterday afternoon. trying to deal with this as best as possible, but they've been unhelpful so far, which is weird because they've been rock solid till now. sorry if there's issues reaching our stuff!

nvm! no downtime... yet!

also, uhh, kinda funny to say day after switching, but expect some downtime later today, as our epic new upstream provider will be doing some upgrades to bring you an even awesomer experience! dw this isn’t the norm, just funny timing x3

our reverse proxy has moved to vixen.computer! this means: - TLS is now terminated in Canada, in addition to main storage already being in Canada. - The US will have less jurisdiction over your data when you use protogen.chat services. - We now have IPv6 support!

welcome @kris.darkworld.download, to the webring!! they have some very cool effects and styling on their site imo. i won't spoil anything, you (reader) should check it out download their darkworld at darkworld.download

in support of a better internet, protogen. chat no longer uses any cloudflare services. DNS is now handled by deSEC, and everything else is self-hosted!

beep! all done!

services will be going down temporarily again. for updates, again. because someone didn't properly disclose a linux kernel vulnerability....... again!
