31st October 2024 - October 31st Alpha Updates

Happy halloween! Why don't you log in and treat yourself to a ::give green_halloween_mask / red / blue :)

Our long-term uptime testing is looking good - the live server was just at 3 weeks of uptime with no faults, we're really trying to close in on never requiring reboots on any schedule.

Content Changes
