Both.org morphed from being simply my personal website to being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.both.org\/?page_id=3010\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.both.org\/?page_id=3010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">replacement for Opensource.com<\/a> (OSDC). On that day, a small group of volunteers, former contributors to OSDC, began publishing articles contributed by ourselves as well as others who have things to say about Linux and open source. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past year, we&#8217;ve published a steady stream of articles. With the exception of November 29th, we&#8217;ve managed at least one article per day. Our readership has grown from an average of about 3 visitors per day, to around 500 visitors and about 750 views per day. In November we had just over 700 referrals from search engines. We started using a new analytics engine on May 5 of 2024 so we don&#8217;t have full-year statistics. On Saturday, December 7, we had our 100,000th recorded visit. Between May 5 and  December 10, we&#8217;ve had 101,215 visits and 192,458 page views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not bad for a completely volunteer project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both.org runs on a server I built in 2018. It has a GigaByte Z370 motherboard, an Intel I7-8700 with 6-cores and 12 CPUs at 3.6GHz overclocked to 4.2 GHz, and 32GB of RAM. This server runs on Fedora, and also runs one other website; along with my DNS, DHCP, Sendmail, IMAP, and NTP services. We use a local WordPress instance and MariaDB for the website itself. This server &#8212; along with all my other computers &#8212; also runs <a href=\"https:\/\/boinc.berkeley.edu\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/boinc.berkeley.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BOINC<\/a> 24&#215;7 in support of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Community Grid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how Linux can work for you, Both.org is a great example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for joining us this year. We hope you&#8217;ll continue to visit throughout 2025 and bring your friends.
