I had a UPS malfunction and then take down my other UPS’s but I’m all up and running again. The story is here https://dhoytt.com/mainblog/2025/10/server-ups-crashed-but-back-up/.

Updated my music relay servers for IceCast and ShoutCast which run on Fedora Linux 41 currently and my server they connect to that I use for my streaming application that on Windows 2019 currently. A bit more on the updte here: https://dhoytt.com/mainblog/2025/09/dhoytt-com-site-updates/

Updated to the latest version of Sam Broadcaster yestreday and today did some cleanup re-adding the countdown script on the website. I updated the Windows OS W2019 that SAM runs on.

I corrected the IceCast secure port going to port 8032 I had going to the backup server still where I wasn’t serving that up through my router. I now have it pointing to the new sever and it serves up the following secure IceCast connections securely: ShoutCast has been working fine on port 8002:

Doing OS security updates of the W2019 application server that’s the source where I keep music and encode the streams as well as the streaming Linux Fedora relay server where I share the IceCast and ShoutCast systems. Will be down and then right back up in no time!
