Hi there, It's past April 1st again, and therefor all information in this update is guaranteed to be 100% true. Or so I hope. Please pay special attention to the last sentence in this update, as action is requested! It's been rather an unev...
February update
Published on March 7, 2024 by Patrick Dersjant
Thank you again for reading another of my monthly updates. This month started with two security updates in rapid succession. Luckily the installs went smoothly, but the third update (not security critical) released this month has not been i...
January update
Published on February 2, 2024 by Patrick Dersjant
It's a wrap. Another eventless month with a quietly running Drum, just as I like it. Wait. What is that? A critical security update? Technically, this was released in February (yesterday), but as the update still has to be written and it wa...
Happy 2024!

Happy new year! I hope that 2024 again may contain many happy Ooks! for you! This update marks the first complete year of the Drum. Let me start by expressing my gratitude to all of you you've made the last year amazing! It's been a year wi...

September update
Published on October 3, 2023 by Patrick Dersjant
The most important news of this month was described already in the previous update. So I'll just leave you in this post with a quick rundown of the financials. More costs than income this month, which is due to the renewal of the Domain cer...
Broken Drum
Published on September 30, 2023 by Patrick Dersjant
As promised on mastodon, this is an attempt to reconstruct The Day I Broke The Drum. By nature, it's a technical story. Yes, I'm going to try to be as open as I can about what went wrong. If you read this online, you'll notice...
August update
Published on September 2, 2023 by Patrick Dersjant
With the summer over, it's time to have another update. August was a quiet month serverwise, possibly also because I decided not yet to upgrade to 4.1.6. At the beginning of the month I sent out a questionnaire to all contributors, and the...
