05:48:00Zoomberoh well, looks like my server is down from fehosting (96 one)
05:49:00Zoombersam686 , if you get this, it seems like fehosting may be dying, but i'm not total sure. The 74 server doesnt seem to have the crashy bugs it had a month ago when "bitfighter sam686" was hosted there.
07:17:00Zoombersam686, i can also move your server to my personal server (216.231.134.232) if you dont want to use the 74 one anymroe
07:17:00Zoombergotta go for the night anyways

16:24:00raptorDo I dare look at the commit or irc logs?
16:27:00raptorso far irc logs look like days of zoomber trying to say hi to someone...

20:10:00Watusimoto has joined
20:15:00raptorkaramazovapy: Watusimoto, i just found 'feed settings' in the phpbb admin control panel
20:15:00raptori didn't know that we had feeds integrated
20:15:00raptorfeeds are disabled, though, from not having any forums selected in the module
20:21:00Watusimotohi
20:21:00Watusimotowelcome back
20:21:00raptorhi
20:21:00raptorthanks
20:21:00WatusimotoI didn't know we had feeds either
20:22:00raptorshould I turn them on for specific forums?
20:22:00Watusimotodutr
20:22:00Watusimotosure
20:22:00Watusimotoor maybe just for off-topic?
20:22:00Watusimoto:-)
20:22:00raptorha!
20:25:00raptori could totally hook into these feeds and pipe them to this channel, if wanted...
20:30:00raptorok, i enabled some feeds
20:30:00raptorexcept i don't see where they are...
20:31:00sam686parts of bitfighter forum might not work right, as "View active topics" never views anything in "off topic" and search doesn't search for "off-topic". Even "advanced search" fails to list "off-topic" in a "search in forums"
20:32:00sam686try search for "Boredom" and you will see what it says, there is actually a "Boredom" word in off-topic.
20:40:00sam686or, maybe there is a better way to search in off-topic, like this. http://208.107.52.15/sphider1.3.5/search.php?query=Boredom&search=1
20:40:00raptoris there a difference for when you logged in or not?
20:41:00sam686there is no difference when logged in or not, except if something is not viewable when not logged in..
20:41:00sam686but still makes "off-topic" not searchable
20:42:00raptorso do we want off-topic searchable?
20:43:00sam686maybe, that can avoid duplicate topics in off-topic because it wasn't listed in search...
20:44:00raptorkaramazovapy or Watusimoto, was there a reason that 'off-topic' search indexing is off?
20:45:00WatusimotoI did not (intentionally) turn it off
20:45:00raptorwould you think it is ok to turn it back on?
20:45:00raptoror just 'on'
20:45:00Watusimotok might have done so when we were trying to figure out if there were a way so that I would never have to see messages there
20:45:00Watusimotosure
20:46:00WatusimotoI was opposed to an off-topic forum, but I relented
20:47:00raptori just found this: http://bitfighter.org/forums/feed.php
20:49:00sam686another problem with search, all words are too common words. http://bitfighter.org/forums/search.php?keywords=big+bitfighter+battle+server+game+ship+use+shield+level
20:49:00raptortry searching for off-topic, now, sam686
20:49:00sam686mine is ok for me. http://208.107.52.15/sphider1.3.5/search.php?query=big+bitfighter+battle+server+game+ship+use+shield+level&search=1
20:50:00sam686searching for "Boredom" finds nothing in phpbb
20:51:00raptorok try now
20:52:00sam686it now shows "off-topic" in advanced search, but still won't find any "Boredom"
20:54:00raptorok, so that's another problem, them
20:55:00sam686find anything in off-topic not working http://bitfighter.org/forums/search.php?st=999&sk=t&sd=d&sr=topics&search_id=active_topics&fid%5B%5D=11
20:56:00sam686replacing 9 to 11 at end of link will search everything in metaForum http://bitfighter.org/forums/search.php?st=999&sk=t&sd=d&sr=topics&search_id=active_topics&fid%5B%5D=11
20:56:00raptorwell it's probably because it was never indexed...
21:00:00LordDVG Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
21:00:00sam686i bet the spiders/Robots "Last Visit" date was all screwed up by me..
21:03:00raptorhow about adding all the forums in the development section to BFLogBot?
21:03:00raptoras atom feeds, i mean
21:04:00sam686not sure, as I never yet used any atom feeds..
21:08:00sam686possible in bflogbot, but with a way to tell a bflogbot to tell it to turn off (or back on) that feed..
21:10:00raptoryes, i built that in...
21:11:00raptoror even, would it be useful to add in the issues list from google code?
21:13:00sam686not sure is that will be worth the effort, as we usually don't need to look at submitted issue right away..
21:41:00karamazovapyI honestly don't remember, but I may have removed Off-Topic from indexing because it's embarrassing and not the kind of content we want to represent us in public.
21:50:00raptorkaramazovapy: I think I agree...
21:50:00raptorsam686: do we really need to index off-topic?
21:51:00raptorin fact, i think It'd be good to remove from the feeds, too...
21:53:00raptoryeah, i don't think i want off-topic in search results...
22:02:00sam686not sure, as "advanced search" seems kind of dumb not being able to see and select off-topic in advanced search, search in forums.
22:04:00sam686could make it not search off-topic by default, but at least make an option in advanced search to search in "off-topic"
22:04:00raptorthat's what i'm looking for...
22:06:00raptori'm not finding how to separate them...
22:27:00sam686Does this like gave you an error? http://bitfighter.org/forums/search.php?keywords=client+%7C+prizes+%7C+result&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search
22:27:00raptoryes
22:28:00raptorremove the |+
22:28:00sam686all i did is search for client | prices | result as advanced search says " Put a list of words separated by | into brackets if only one of the words must be found."
22:29:00raptoryeah, looks like it tokenized the pipes
22:29:00sam686might be some search bug..
22:29:00raptorand that kills it
22:29:00raptorwell, we are 3 phpbb versions behind...
22:30:00sam686and then i sometimes get a "Error 139 (net::ERR_TEMPORARILY_THROTTLED): Requests to the server have been temporarily throttled."
22:31:00raptorit'll work in the normal search...
22:31:00sam686maybe such throttle is something with chrome itself... chrome://net-internals/#httpThrottling
22:31:00raptorbecause the normal search does a POST, whereas advanced does a GET
22:31:00sam686oops, i guess you can't see that page..
22:31:00raptornever had the throttle problem
22:32:00sam686ok, i see a chrome option, Throttle HTTP requests if the server has been overloaded or encountered an error.
22:33:00sam686it must be chrome doing the throttleing stuff, as it got an error from server and tries to prevent connecting to it for a while..
22:39:00sam686oh, i see, it was suppose to be no spaces for |. like this: client|prizes|result
22:39:00raptoryeah, but it still should kill the search like that...
22:39:00raptor*shouldn't
22:39:00sam686this works http://bitfighter.org/forums/search.php?keywords=client%7Cprizes%7Cresult&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search
22:40:00sam686but but putting spaces kills it...
22:41:00sam686that bug doesn't seem to happen to my near empty phpbb on my computer..
22:41:00raptorwe are 3 version behind
22:42:00sam686my version is at 3.0.7-PL1
22:42:00sam686and, MySQL 5.1.50-community
22:42:00raptoryou are two versions behind :)
22:43:00sam686so it looks like my version either have a version with a fix, or my forum is not big enough to trigger the bug..
22:43:00raptorhaha, could be
22:52:00sam686found an easy way to see changes between some of latest version. http://208.107.52.15/forum/docs/CHANGELOG.html
22:52:00sam686its also here but a little bit older. http://bitfighter.org/forums/docs/CHANGELOG.html
22:52:00raptorcool
22:55:00sam686each new version seem to have a bunch of fix..
22:56:00sam686it looks like there was some fix to the search in 3.0.6, i think..
22:57:00raptoryeah, i think Watusimoto will have to move bitfighter.org to a non-shared database and such before we can collectively make changes to the site when needed
22:58:00sam686yes, maybe to avoid such unexpected php update (and maybe others) that seem to just happen by itself...
22:58:00raptoryep
23:00:00Watusimotoall we need is a plan!
23:01:00WatusimotoI'd be delighted to share the passwords!
23:03:00sam686with vps and dedicated servers, we could have owr own login / passwords, such as me using "sam686" username in some of zoomber's vps server..
23:03:00raptorI'm very good at moving systems... I'd just need a system to move to :)
23:03:00raptoroh, and focus... i'm still thinking like i'm on vacation
23:05:00Watusimotoso vps or standard server?
23:05:00raptorI think uptime is the most important
23:06:00sam686not sure, dedicated server is a little more expensive, but have a lot of RAM and allows swap..
23:06:00Watusimotothat was the next question -- do we need much ram?
23:06:00WatusimotoI think not really
23:06:00raptornot really - unless we are going to use it for compiling :)
23:06:00sam686what is your "uptime" of your vps server?
23:07:00Watusimotoyou mean the results of the uptime cmd?
23:08:00Watusimoto 15:08:09 up 36 days, 11:01, 1 user, load average: 0.16, 0.04, 0.01
23:08:00Watusimotomy current vps is basically unused now. I almost canceled it this past month
23:09:00sam686zoomber servers is 38 days, 9 days, and the third server (zoomber) is currently down..
23:10:00sam686however, that 38 days was the same server that used to frequently go down a lot about 2 or 3 months ago..
23:11:00raptorthat vps run BFLogBot!
23:11:00raptor:)
23:12:00sam686i guess waatusimoto server seem to stay up a lot, except the one time problem forcing ip address to change..
23:16:00Watusimotowould this be enough?
23:16:00Watusimoto384MB guaranteed/768MB burstable memory
23:16:00Watusimoto15GB storage
23:16:00Watusimoto250GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
23:16:00WatusimotoOpenVZ/SolusVM
23:16:00raptori think so
23:16:00Watusimotowe run wiki, forums, master server
23:16:00raptorwould you have root access?
23:16:00Watusimotoof course
23:16:00Watusimotounless you think I shouldn't
23:17:00raptorsweet!
23:17:00raptormust have root!
23:17:00Watusimoto:-)
23:17:00Watusimotoit's a vps
23:17:00sam686nearly all vps / dedicated have root, zoomber's vps all have root access..
23:17:00raptori am power hungry when it comes to servers...
23:17:00Watusimotocheap, and seems reliable
23:17:00sam686its the shared hosting that don't let you have root access..
23:17:00WatusimotoI could buy that one, and drop my current one
23:18:00Watusimotowhich we don't use and is a pita to keep paid up (have to do paypal manually each month)
23:18:00raptordoesn't netcraft have a reliability index somewhere?
23:18:00raptorhttp://news.netcraft.com/archives/2011/11/01/most-reliable-hosting-company-sites-in-october-2011.html
23:20:00Watusimotohttps://billing.urpad.net/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0
23:20:00Watusimotoit's really cheap
23:20:00raptorwhat about CPU stutter?
23:21:00raptorthat's the problem with your current one
23:21:00Watusimotois that a factor for the master?
23:21:00sam686to avoid cpu shutter, look for a dedicated CPU in a vps
23:21:00Watusimotoonly the game server
23:21:00Watusimotoand that's not what we're talking about
23:21:00raptordoesn't master relay arranged connection packets?
23:21:00sam686but its mostly for game servers, it it might help with master server as well..
23:22:00Watusimotoyes, but a tiny bit of stutter won't matter
23:22:00Watusimotomaybe a connection takes 10ms longer
23:22:00raptorthat link is shared hosting
23:23:00raptordoesn't that mean no root?
23:23:00sam686a small CPU shutter might make web pages take slightly longer to load too..
23:23:00Watusimotothey ask for a root password
23:23:00WatusimotoI am pretty sure you get root
23:24:00raptorso maybe 'shared hsoting' means your own VM shared with others?
23:24:00Watusimotoit won't really work otherwise
23:24:00Watusimoto5 vms on one cpu
23:24:00Watusimotobut you are lord on your own vm
23:24:00raptorah ok
23:24:00Watusimotoand where do you see "shared"
23:25:00raptoryou maynto have sent the right link..
23:25:00sam686i think they mean "Budget VPS" like this? https://billing.urpad.net/cart.php?gid=9
23:25:00raptorah
23:26:00raptorthat makes sense
23:26:00raptorThe basic one with 150 GB bandwidth may be too small
23:26:00Watusimotothe deal I sent is a "special offer" better specs that the budget machine you linked to, but cheaper
23:27:00raptorthat link didn't work, then...
23:27:00Watusimotohttps://billing.urpad.net/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0
23:27:00Watusimoto250GB bandiwdth
23:27:00raptoryeah, just redirects to 'shared hosting' option
23:27:00Watusimotoodd
23:27:00Watusimotonot for me
23:27:00raptoryoumay have a special cookie on your machine?
23:28:00sam686500 GB bandwidth is 3.3 times more bandwidth at the price of 1.75 times the cheapest one
23:28:00Watusimototest IP: 69.55.132.68
23:28:00WatusimotoI linked from here:
23:28:00Watusimotohttp://www.lowendbox.com/page/2/
23:29:00Watusimotomaybe cookie??
23:29:00Watusimotohalfway down
23:29:00raptorhttps://billing.urpad.net/cart.php?a=add&pid=69
23:29:00raptorthat's the link
23:30:00Watusimotomaybe it is a cookie because I can click the link I sent first
23:30:00Watusimotoanyhow
23:30:00raptorplease use centos 64bit
23:30:00raptornot debian or derivative (ubuntu)
23:30:00raptorplease
23:30:00raptorplease please
23:31:00raptoractually, i don't think 64 or 32 bit really mattes
23:31:00raptormatters
23:31:00WatusimotoI would probably go with centos
23:32:00Watusimotothough I'm using Mint at work now, and LOVING it
23:32:00raptorah good - the new ubuntu
23:32:00Watusimotomuch better than ubuntu
23:32:00Watusimotoyes
23:32:00Watusimotothe UI is excellent
23:32:00Watusimotobut not proposing that.... proposing centos
23:33:00Watusimotobecause the UI here is irrelevant
23:33:00raptorbut for a server, i'd always choose RHEL (or derivative like CentOS) or SUSE
23:33:00Watusimotosuse isn't an option
23:33:00sam68632-bit uses a little bit less RAM, but usually can't go more then 2 GB or 4 GB of RAM
23:33:00Watusimotocentos 32 bit
23:33:00Watusimotowe only get 384MB of ram
23:34:00raptorsounds good
23:34:00Watusimotobut burstable
23:34:00sam68664-bit CPU is mostly faster for 64-bit integers, otherwise not much speed difference..
23:34:00Watusimotook, so we could have this machine
23:34:00WatusimotoI'm willing to buy it
23:34:00Watusimotobut
23:34:00Watusimotowe have no transition plan
23:34:00sam686plus, 32-bit is often more stable as they have been around much longer then 64-bit
23:35:00Watusimotowe have to move everything at one go
23:35:00raptorwe have to write automated scripts to move everything in one go...
23:35:00Watusimotoand I'm not sure if it will work, as the IP is still hardcoded in the app (I think)
23:35:00WatusimotoI'm not so worried about the doing, it's more how do we get the clients to find the new server
23:35:00raptorwell if you get it, we can add the IP for 016
23:36:00Watusimotocan we run two masters in parallel?
23:36:00Watusimotoone for 015, one for 016?
23:36:00sam686ip address is hard coded in 015 and 015a, and as of latest google code, it is still hard coded..
23:36:00WatusimotoI suppose we could
23:36:00Watusimotothe master will still work, even if forms and wiki are gone
23:37:00Watusimotoso I could keep that master going a while longer
23:37:00Watusimotowith new clients on new master with forms and wiki
23:37:00Watusimotook, that would work
23:37:00raptori thought we could specify multiple masters
23:37:00raptorto be safe
23:37:00sam686old master might not have (or have outdated) authentication usernames system
23:38:00Watusimotowe could leave old dbs in place
23:38:00Watusimotono new signups
23:38:00Watusimotobut existing accounts still work on 015
23:38:00sam686yes, it can put multiple masters, but it will only connect to one, a problem if multiple master is up..
23:39:00Watusimoto015 client conntects to current master, 016 client connects to new master
23:39:00sam686that will work...
23:39:00Watusimotowell, we can try
23:39:00Watusimotothe risk seems low
23:39:00Watusimotowe just need to do the forums transition at release time
23:40:00Watusimotothough we can do an unofficial copy earlier
23:40:00Watusimotohave all the software running, and copy the dbs at the last minute
23:41:00Watusimotoand then we can add a redirect on bitfighter.org to send it to the new ip
23:41:00WatusimotoI can even register bitfighter.net to the new machine
23:41:00Watusimotonow
23:41:00Watusimotosince no one uses it
23:42:00Watusimotowhat the heck, should I do it?
23:43:00raptorI'd help with the move
23:43:00raptorand set up
23:43:00Watusimotook -- all I'm doing tonight is buying the vps
23:43:00raptorthis is so far sound like a better plan than we've had yet
23:43:00Watusimotowe have some time to figure out why it won't work

23:43:00Watusimotobefore it's too late
23:44:00Watusimotoso how can I communicate the root pw to you?
23:44:00Watusimotoemail?
23:44:00Watusimotowe could even use accounts and not run only as root!
23:44:00CrazyLinuxNerdhey guys :-) sorry to be a pest but just wondering if you still on schedule for xmas release?
23:45:00raptorIM with OTR would be best
23:45:00Watusimotootr?
23:45:00Watusimotocln: not really, but there's still hope
23:45:00raptoroff-the-record
23:45:00Watusimotowhat's that?
23:45:00raptorbasically public key encryption through the IM protocol
23:46:00Watusimototell you what -- I'll set up the acct now, using hte same root pw I use on my other vps -- you can communicate that to sam
23:46:00Watusimotousing otr
23:46:00raptorok
23:46:00Watusimotoand you can change it to something you like better
23:46:00sam686could make use of useradd / passwd and then add something to (i think) /etc/sudoer
23:46:00Watusimotoyou can create me an acct, im me the pw, and I'll change it
23:47:00raptorah sudo
23:47:00CrazyLinuxNerdWatusimoto: Ah okay, thanks. :-)
23:47:00raptorthe great and annoying root action audit system
23:47:00Watusimotocln: my list is still too long, but getting shorter
23:47:00Watusimotocln: I've also started cutting features
23:47:00Watusimotocln: my new thought is a 016, followed shortly by 016a
23:48:00Watusimotocln: which will have features missing from 016
23:48:00CrazyLinuxNerdWatusimoto: That's okay :-) gives me more time to test a little project I am working on :-).
23:48:00Watusimoto:-)
23:48:00Watusimotook, I'll sign up for the vps
23:49:00Watusimotoany final objections before I drop the $$?
23:49:00raptornope
23:49:00raptori'm willing to do the grunt work
23:49:00Watusimotosam?
23:50:00sam686maybe, fix and update wiki version at the same time, as i kind of figured that out a long time ago..
23:50:00Watusimotoand what hostname should we use?
23:50:00WatusimotoI mean any reaons not to sign up...
23:50:00raptorwait, i should ask to be sure you make a purchase (because I always ask myself first): are your mental faculties up to par right now?
23:51:00Watusimotoalas, yes. no alcohol for at leat 4 hours
23:51:00Watusimotosleepy
23:51:00Watusimotobut not overly so
23:51:00Watusimotonot angry
23:51:00Watusimotono CO leakes from my furnace
23:51:00WatusimotoI think I'm ok
23:51:00sam686i might think the host name can be the same as URL, bitfighter.org (or .net) for use with reverse DNS system..
23:51:00raptorcould you optimize a triple 'for' loop with a hashmap if you were required?
23:51:00WatusimotoIt says:
23:51:00Watusimotoeg. server1(.yourdomain.com)
23:52:00raptorjust kidding...
23:52:00Watusimotodomain is bitfighter.net (for the moment)
23:52:00raptorgreat
23:52:00Watusimotoso server1 would be... what?
23:52:00raptorcan you have unlimited subdomains?
23:52:00Watusimotomaster.bitfighter.net?
23:52:00Watusimotoi.e. master
23:53:00Watusimotoor soemthing creative like bitfightron
23:53:00raptornonono
23:53:00raptorwhat about www?
23:53:00sam686or it could be bitfighter(.org) ?
23:53:00Watusimotoyou think that's what they mean??
23:53:00raptorthen we can use forums and blog
23:53:00Watusimotocan't be bitfighter.org until we move the master
23:53:00Watusimotobut then it will be
23:53:00raptorhmmm, i'm not sure what they mean...
23:54:00sam686what ip address is it? i can ping and see what the reverse DNS says.
23:55:00Watusimotohttp://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1166575
23:55:00Watusimotodon't know ip until after signup
23:55:00Watusimotomaybe I enter "bitfighter.net"?
23:56:00raptoryeah
23:56:00raptoroh!
23:56:00raptoris it for the whois lookup?
23:56:00Watusimotothe forum article suggests so
23:57:00sam686windows "tracert <ip_address>" command will show the reverse DNS of an ip address.
23:58:00Watusimotook, I'll try bitfighter.net, and get support to change it if it's wrong
23:58:00raptorso just use ns1.bitfighter.net?
23:58:00raptorns2
23:58:00raptorfor those...
23:58:00raptorok
23:59:00sam686your isp's reverse DNS is used when connecting to IRC too (except when using cloak "unafiliated")
