Hi Matt James,
It looks like XEH Event didn’t follow Community Guidelines. To help keep our community safe, we removed it from YouTube

The music album
2/17/2025, 10:47:31 PM
Ether asked the people if he should release his music album ("the matt james album"). Majority (6 people as of 1/21/1970, 3:18:25 AM) voted 👍. He said it will come out in april/june cuz he has to finish some songs.
He also said the album was originally meant to be "a load of hating on nayskutzu" but he "abandoned all those songs except 1". The main song is "00:46 am in santiago" (changed from "2:06 am in santiago") and the "good one" is "workplace health concerns"

Octant event ?
2/23/2025, 4:14:41 AM
It was announced that an octant event was happening in a now deleted channel. Later it was also announced that nothing was announced during the event.
Change of operations
2/23/2025, 5:06:58 PM
Ether announced that:
- he no longer believes in his principles of how a free host, or company should operate
- He no longer believes in his own principles of how he should act
- They will take a more legitimate and morally correct position in the market instead of forcing growth
Original message
@everyone We are going to be changing the way Octant operates from now on
I no longer believe in my principles of how a free host, or how a company should operate. Or just in general, my own principles of how I should act
Due to this, there will be some fairly instant changes in our operations. We will take a more legitimate and morally correct position in the market rather than forcing the maximum growth possible at the cost of our reputation
We are committed to continuing to ship Argon, Krypton, Radar 8 and so on - these releases will take longer due to the previous ETA being extremely short. These products need to be finished before we can launch Octant's free hosting
Octant Cloud Compute is also in the early stages and will be led by @Sabrina Goom
Free host dashboard
2/24/2025, 9:37:25 PM
It was announced the Octant's free host will be running Heliactyl Next 6 as a dashboard instead of modified Argon

Octant Compute. Coming Soon.
Free hosting coming Tomorrow
2/25/2025, 6:26:32 PM
@everyone We are shipping Octant free hosting tomorrow at 13:00 GMT
Powered by Heliactyl Next (formerly Prism which was formerly Heliactyl Next)
Octant free hosting didn't ship the next day and was delayed with an ETA of < 2 weeks due to not enough capacity.
news get-help and public-help channels were created in a new category called 🆓 FREE HOSTING
Original message
2/26/2025, 3:09:02 PMDelayed
@here Unfortunately, this is on hold due to lack of on hand hardware
While we realise free hosting is necessary to push growth for our other products, we do not want to launch it unless we have enough capacity and there is a solid strategy for it
2/26/2025, 3:32:57 PMThe goal was to get back to our previous record of 17k members although this seems rather difficult at the moment
ETA: < 2 weeks

Octant free hosting launches in a few hours
What's this host going to be like? It's similar to XEH 6 as it uses the same dashboard. We added a few new features and changed the layout a bit. More features and changes will happen as the backend was updated to Heliactyl Next 6
What locations? We will have UK and US for now until more capacity is available in Asia Pacific
What default resources? 8GB RAM, 40GB disk, 400% CPU, 6 servers
Unfortunately, we currently have 3 different account systems. You'll be unable to use your Octant AI accounts here

@Fraser (justplinxy)🚀 We're Live! @everyone
It's been a long time coming, especially for those who were around for Alwy, but we're finally back! @Sabrina | CEO and I have been working hard to bring you a fully custom server creation dashboard. With our coin system, you can deploy and manage your servers while still benefiting from the reliability and performance of Pterodactyl.
To get you started, every new user will receive 350 coins upon registration.
No more waiting—start deploying your servers today: https://hosting.octant.sh
More nodes
3/5/2025, 10:33:50 AM
The only node that was available (Atlas) was full and a new node is coming soon.
Original message
Hello @everyone,
We have reached our current nodes capacity with not even 24 hours after launch! We will be purchasing a new node tomorrow, so for now server deployment is currently paused and if your interested on our the updates were applying to the dashboard they will be listed in https://discord.com/channels/1340023550953914498/1346791761015476294.
Thank you so much for all the support and were excited to keep providing top tier performance for zerocost.
3/6/2025, 2:57:15 PM
A new Helios node was announced along with a per server resource limit:
- 8GB of RAM
- 250% CPU
- 75GB storage
Original message
@everyone Introducing Helios
We've added our new node, Helios, with 24 threads and 64GB of RAM. You can now deploy to it on the dashboard with the updated node selection!
Moreover, we've implemented some limits to newly created servers:
- Upto 8GB of RAM
- Upto 250% CPU
- Upto 75GB storage
These limits may change in the future however this is the current limits.
Server deployment has also been disabled on Atlas temporarily as the node is at maximum capcity. We will be working on a location transfer and resource editing system shortly, and our status page is also going to be released shortly!
3/6/2025, 5:13:42 PM
The AFK page was disabled because of "abuse".
We are not sure when (or if) it will come back at this current time however for at the moment you are still welcome to earn through rewards and may have other methods of earning coming soon.
DDoS
3/7/2025, 3:38:50 AM
The Helios node was DDoSed really hard earlier in the day. This caused an outage.
Original message
@everyone
Regarding Recent Events I'd like to address some recent issues affecting our Helios node.
Earlier today, Helios was heavily targeted by a large scale DDoS attack, which disrupted operations and caused issues with local infrastructure (our Helios node is owned hardware). This was a deliberate attack, and we are actively working to mitigate future risks.
Additionally, there have been incidents of personal harassment outside of Octant, which we are taking seriously. I would like to personally assure everybody that despite these setbacks, Octant is not going anywhere. We are already planning improvements to security and infrastructure to ensure future stability.
Unfortunately as Helios is our owned hardware, this attack affected me directly as such I was unable to alert other team members of what was going on at the time - we'll shortly be adding +500 coins to everybody that has a server on Helios, and Helios is expected to come back online in the morning (approx. ~8 hours from the time of writing).
Another node!
3/7/2025, 2:57:17 PM
The Aether node was announced. The status page was also promised to be delivered shortly.
Original message
@everyone Introducing Aether
Our new node, Aether is up and ready for deployment! Sorry for the delays with status page, I promise it'll be released shortly - on it, you'll be able to view current usage and specs of each node.
We're also (finally) making it so you can transfer your server between nodes on the dashboard, as well as upgrading/downgrading resources!
Enjoy!
Aether is our fastest node yet 👀
