First off, thanks @cloudyy for reviving exozine and giving it an amazing new design! The feed is now at https://zine.exozy.me/rss.xml instead of https://zine.exozy.me, so you will have to add the new feed if you already have exozine in your feed reader.
The previous issue of exozine was in June 2023, and a lot has changed since then. We created several new projects:
- [Status](https://status.exozy.me) written by @iacore, @dragongoose, @vnpower, @xtex, @daudix, and others
- [Twineo](https://twineo.exozy.me) written by @cloudyy
- [LiteXiv](https://litexiv.exozy.me) written by @peaksol
- [Dumb physics engine](https://physics.exozy.me) written by @a
We are also hosting several new services:
- [CyberChef](https://cyberchef.exozy.me) maintained by @nvpie
- [Navidrome](https://rave.exozy.me) maintained by @vnpower
- [Redlib](https://reddit.exozy.me) maintained by @x
- [Priviblur](https://pb.exozy.me) maintained by @x
- [Memos](https://memos.exozy.me) maintained by @x
- [YT Local](https://yt-local.exozy.me) maintained by @x
Here are some nice blog posts written by our community members:

- [Website 2.0](https://daudix.codeberg.page/blog/website-rewrite-in-zola/): The long-awaited website rewrite using the new static site generator - Zola.
And finally, the exozyme server went through a few major technical changes:
- We upgraded our storage from a 500GB SSD and 500GB HDD to a single 4TB SSD.
- We changed our filesystem from ext4 to Btrfs for faster backups and so you can access old copies of your data in `/.snapshots`.
- Woodpecker CI now clones repos to `~/.cache/woodpecker` instead of `/tmp` for persistent caching.
- Website sockets should now be placed in `/srv/http` instead of `/srv/http/pages`.
