Hi! Right now, these are my concerns in order of priority:
Thanks! |
I can't believe you're being doxxed. WTF is wrong with people?! |
maybe cloudflare DDOS protection and cloudflare hosting? |
Wouldn't it be easier, cheaper to just build a raid storage NAS and host it locally via a public IP rather than paying someone to host it? That way you could clone/scrap the existing site directly onto the network storage, strip out external links etc and then it only costs the electricity to run it? |
personality, I think it needs to be community run and funded, cuz this couldn't be a one man job. unless you are Elon musk or some other rich gazillionares |
To tell you the truth, it's anyone guess. But:
I'm being doxxed by doing this Archive? Or it was only the straw that broke some camel' back? Who knows. But it was remarkable that a private monitoring service I pay alerted me about the leakage essentially at the same time Forum came back online. Are these events related? Who knows. But it's an interesting coincidence. --- POST EDIT --- Sometimes my dislexia really bites my arse. Where I had wrote "as well to strict", I should had write "as well to advocated". Crap, I passed the wrong message on that phrase. Fixed. |
Probably, but how much this will cost? Money will always be an issue. |
It's being considered. But, still, even if I manage personal funding for the service, I don't want to be the only one serving such data. Redundancy is the name of the game - and, assuming I'm being targeted (also, because it's a fact I'm being for other reasons) for this, I don't intent to concentrate all the fire on myself... |
Agreed. But this doesn't meant that we could not built a kinda of "Federated" pool of data providers, sharing the load between us. This also would help with the redundancy. |
I'm resurrecting another side project that demanded a Raspberry PI update (that Pi3 of mine is not cutting it anymore) that was already funded, and it ended up being cheap enough to buy the 8GB RAM one instead of the sufficient 2GB I originally intended to buy, and now I will have enough juice to shove this project on it too. No need for a new local dedicated appliance anymore. I'm going to get my Steam Deck back! :) |
Buzzheavier is definitively out - the new policies doesn't fit the project anymore. I need suggestions for alternatives to distribute the content besides Archive. |

Forum is back! :)

And it's gone again...
Someone is screwing with the DNS entries on CloudFlare. I had an idea... |
Yeah, I was right. Forum IS online, but they are changing DNS again. Mangling with my ---- EDIT I had made a monstrous typo on a |
Crossing everything. |
More news: Now But Forum itself is still alive and well - besides a bit alone... |
I built a socks proxy on an appliance of mine i AWS, and started to scrap forum again after adjusting the remote Forum is essentially idle, there's no reason not to do it. However, I'm lowering my footprint - I'm going to bed and leave the thing unattended, I don't have a clue about what's going to happen to Forum in the mean time. But since I locked the DNS entry for forum on that appliance, there's no risk of the server being moved to a smaller box somewhere where my current load would cause problems. Worst case scenario, they pull the plug and my spider just halts. |
Forum still alive. But DNS still screwed. The good part

NOPE! There was a typo! I typed kerbak and not kerbal!!!! Oh, crap. :D News from the frontThe DNS entry for Forum was deleted again:

Note to my future self: at least on this moment, my spider does not reflects on the Guest List. I doubled the concurrent connections (from my side, what's different from hitting Forum with all of them at the same time), then I halved them, then I just stopped it. Absolutely no impact on the Guest List. And none of the URLs the spider were hitting were listed on that list neither. So, at least for this spider I'm using, the hits on Forum DOES NOT reflects on the Guest List. |
Right now, Note to my future self: avoid task switching on business hours. Something will be left behind. |

Forum is back online.

And just because:
In time, I'm scaling down the spider again. Forum is back to business, it's not wise to hammer the guys the same as when they would be near empty. And just for the sake of curiosity: |
Now that's the official forums are (temporarily?) back up, how can we help you ensure that all that knowledge isn't lost?
