Large-scale maintenance/migration

late Jan 2026

We have migrated all services previously running on our Nuremberg-based server sophia, which includes most of what we operate, to the new server ruby. We’re going to great lengths to make this switchover as smooth as possible, but there might be short periods of downtime or other disruptions, such as unexpected errors. Most of the migration has taken place on 2026-01-26 between 3:00 and 4:00 (AM) UTC (4:00-5:00 CET). A detailed timeline can be found below.

The following list of chrissx Media websites and services are affected:

chrissx.de
fuxgames.com
kinkcheck.top / bottom.kinkcheck.top
fonts.chrissx.de
lyrics.chrissx.de
screwed.chrissx.de
meme.chrissx.de
erwin (please read the warning below) / erwin.chrissx.de
gock.dev / pixel.chrissx.de
elonisnwichser.de

Additionally, the following third party websites hosted by us are also affected:

zerm.eu / zerm.link
emilycatgirl.de

On 2026-02-22, sophia was taken offline permanently. Please note that after this has taken place, no services will be available at sophia.chrissx.de (or its associated IP addresses) anymore. Specifically, make sure that if you use erwin, the correct URL is not http://sophia.chrissx.de:8080/, but http://erwin.chrissx.de:8080/ or https://erwin.chrissx.de/.

Detailed Timeline

We will carefully monitor for breakage after each step. All times are 24-hour UTC.

It has not been decided yet when the IP addresses assigned to sophia will be given away. We will hold onto them until at least 2026-03-15 to mitigate any confusion arising from their reuse by a third party.

Semi-Live Updates

Times are given in 24-hour CET, unless noted otherwise.

(2026-01-27 12:00) Yesterday sophia already saw a >80% reduction in traffic, despite the 4 hours before the migration. Today we’re seeing <5% of usual traffic, which is mostly bots, so everything can be shut down in the coming days.
