Stats of the TELL-A-FEW memberbase & Server Cluster

Welcome to the mothership! The reason that this site exists, is not for me (Earnie), but for you! Okay maybe a little for the both of us. As I value my time; don’t like explaining things twice. Prefer to sit down and explain it once clearly, so it will make sense to you in 1 take too. However, such an elearning system didn’t exist in 2016. That’s why it took as long as it did; to built ‘one’. Just a little fun project on the side. Therefore sharing some stats for those who are interested. As the saying goes “Once a nerd, always a nerd”. Or simply to appreciate how much effort and keen eye for detail has gone into this.

Update Nov 2024: What is 'this' exactly?

A Project formerly called ‘OPTIONS4ALL’ in 2015 (documented at  computernerdinside.com/options4all.html) which is a continuation of the tell-a-few.com/about/transformation vision of 2008. So yes I’ve been working on this for a while. Sort of my life’s work; the culmination of three decades of experience working online. All my best practices in training, teambuilding, and wealth distribution put into a WordPress premium theme (not for sale) ..

Current Project Member Statistics

These are parsed every 59 minutes using REST API.

Currently only showing project codenames without website links as a lot of them are still in beta. Due for release during 2024. Keep an eye out on the newsletter.

Server information (for DevOps Nerds only)

Back in 2015 when he started to build the Options4ALL project no ordinary hosting provider could deliver what he needed. Historic perspective: We went from an Apache + Cpanel shared hosting server in 2013, to our own dedicated Dual Xeon Redhat Server in 2015 at AMS-IX, to then upgrade to NGINX (LEMP) in 2016, and in 2018 among the first in the world to be running entirely on LiteSpeed + QUIC http/3 webstack.

Expecting to have this custom API running in the 2nd week of December 2023.
