  1. So in reply to all you guys:

     

    1) IRC will be open to all, the main channel will be #12oz

    2) Other channels can be created at will

    3) Misteraven and I will be the sole IRCops for now, if anyone here has run a irc server before (unrealirc ircu hybrid with services) let me know, I'll def put you down for ircop status.

    3.a) Channel Operators will be responsible for moderation, kicking misbehaving users etc..

    4) We will be running services on the IRC server so you'll be able to register your nicks/channels

    5) Eggdrop bots are a peace of cake to setup, I'll throw up a thread later about possible features that you want implemented in them, i.e. quotes, weather, stats, new posts, hot threads etc..

    6)

  2. i second IRC chat, i think that'd be great for a site like this with a lot of members that obviously have a lot of fun with eachother. i think if the idea for an IRC chat that'll be self contained on the 12oz servers can't be done, that we just make it on efnet, or another public IRC server.

     

    if a radio station is possible, i think the idea to give specific dudes shows is a great idea, too.

     

    i'm not sure if you're familiar with unixpunx.org (been dead for years), but awhile back they had a HUGE catalog of non RIAA protected music, mostly punk, but a lot of hip hop too that was fully requestable on a web application they had written. with the exception of new members queuing 25 casualties songs in a row, the radio worked great. but there would be an easy way to get around that if something can be written to block whatever IP address if whatever number of songs are queued. if there'd be any blockade, i think it would be riaa protection and how it translates over to radio. i'm not sure of the laws protecting that, but i would say if anything would threaten the existence of the radio, it'd be that.

     

    i hope i'm not getting too far ahead of what's going on, but it was an extremely useful implementation that brought a lot of traffic to unixpunx, i'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but hey. food for thought.

     

    They used SAM Broadcaster, it's easily done.

    Radio station can go live this summer if all goes ok.

    IRC in 48hours or so.

  3. Physically all the servers are 2U's.

     

    A rack unit is a unit of measure used to describe the height of a server, network switch or other similar device mounted in a 19-inch rack or a 23-inch rack (refers to width of rack). One rack unit is 44.45 mm (1.75 in) high.

     

    One rack unit is commonly designated as "1U"; similarly, 2 rack units are "2U" and so on. The size of a piece of rack mounted equipment is usually described as a number in "U". One rack unit is also sometimes referred to as "1RU"; most server racks have 42 U of height.

     

    I've attached a picture showing a server just like ours.

  4. Seffiks, I have nothing to do with how the upgrades are being paid for, nor do I know how they're funded. Misteraven is purchasing the hardware I'm taking care of the rest. As far as what V.I.P.'s have access to on the site, this is another thing I have no control over, I typically work in the background making sure the servers stay up and running, although recently I've gotten a little more involved.

  5. As mentioned in the announcement, tonight marks the beginning of a round of upgrades to be performed to the 12oz servers. Feel free to suggest/ask/discuss.

     

     

    we'll be performing the first round of upgrades to our server cluster today starting 5PM EST today. We're scheduling a maintenance window for this site between 7:01PM EDT and 8:59PM EDT. You may notice a brief 15 minute outage during the beginning of the maintenance window and a few short outages thereafter.
  6. does anyone know the address i type in to see my internet shit...

     

    its something like 192.121.1.1

     

    anyone???

     

    If you're on windows go to start -> run -> type in 'cmd' and hit enter. In the command prompt type ipconfig /all, look for the line that has your gateway (probably 192.168.1.1) and enter it in your browser.

  7. mods can only see so much. if you spoof an address (**** and *******), they really would

    have a time trying to find you. wanga could. but that's because he knows what he's doing.

    i'm sure raven could, but would he care enough? probably not.

     

    i edited to save the moderators some headaches. don't ask me what those say. i won't tell.

     

    in theory... I could... do I want to, depends ;-)

  8. Okay,

     

    I just finished my latest session of tweaking, first we did some sysctl hardening, next I followed up with some tweaking to improve throughput and lower cpu loads. So far this has been a success.

     

    Next thing that was done was heavy tweaking to the MySQL config file (my.cnf). I'll be doing some benchmarks and give you guys a mytop so you can see what's going on.

     

    I setup eAccelerator, this caches the php pages and keeps them pre-compiled, this saves cpu and promotes faster page loads.

     

    I also performed some security work, setting up tripwire, rkhunter, firewalls and other intrusion detection systems.

     

    I'm sure I'm missing a couple of things, I'll fill them in later, if you guys have any questions feel free to ask.
