This is my Witness Update for today.
I've been busy almost every night installing servers, staging, loading software, testing code and production so I can assist off-loading some traffic from Steemit.com website. If you noticed, Steemit.com having intermittent issue accessing the website. You probably read in other post this is due to DDOS attack, but @Ned confirmed it is not related to DDOS attack it's something else.
"Update: Steemit is working actively on performance, always. Any root issues are being diagnosed and solved for. There is no DDoS currently." https://yehey.org/steemit/@ned/steemit-update
So I build another front-end website to provide service to all steemians, It is based on a condenser project (https://github.com/steemit/condenser). The official website address is https://Yehey.org. I actually posted this article using Yehey.org. This also provides opportunity to anyone who wish to work from home. All they need is a smart phone or a computer.

In my last Witness update, I have mentioned that I am working on another server to build a front-end web/application server as another options beside busy.org and chainbb.com. Please add https://yehey.org to short list.
Here are the completed tasks:
Yehey's STEEM blockchain site is up and running.
Update A Record to point to a domain name e.g. Yehey.org
Install SSL
Close all ports except 80,443,22,8080
Setup serve to auto-update security patches
Go Live.
Next update, I will share some server usage, utilization and additional tasks.
Condenser Server:
Utilization is under 2% CPU and 3-4% Memory utilization, for obvious reason only a few users knows about it. I expect to increase the usage, and ready to scale. Check it out https://yehey.org website.
My Witness Update
Rank# 122. I need more persuading to do to get the Whales/Minnows votes. Maybe, next time I will include some cat photos every time I post my update. :)
Server Utilization. CPU is under 5% and Memory under 50% Utilization.
My witness server processed 1 block per 60+ hours. I hope this is a wake up call to others wanting to build their witness server. There is a cost, time and energy that goes managing a Witness Node server.
This is how I live my life. I act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, legally and fair to serve you as Witness. I hope you will vote for me as your Witness. By the way, I barrow the statement to one of the cyber security tenet's.
With all the projects in the pipeline, I hope you will support me as your Witness. All these servers expenses are straight out of pocket, I need assistance from the community.
To serve the community better. Please VOTE for Witness, go to https://yehey.org/~witnesses and vote for yehey.
Follow me @Yehey. Please Vote Up and RESTEEM.
Thank you
