Hey nerds!

I just wanted to update y'all a bit!

I moved https://www.x86labs.org to Github Pages, you can see the code @ https://github.com/iagox86/www.x86labs.org - it's basically a static site, I just renamed php to html

I moved https://forum.x86labs.org to a new server - it's a Linode Nanode instance, so it's tiny and slow but at this point this is just a museum piece so whatevers.

Cheers!

It's interesting that me and Newby's ip addresses are 10.* (since it's in a container behind a reverse proxy), though Blaze's isn't. We'll see if this one is. Nothing that I know of changed since I posted this originally, but /shrug

Edit: My external IP is right now, too. I wonder why? I know X-Forwarded-For is set, and we configured Apache to trust it (since only the reverse proxy can connect). I guess Apache probably passes the "correct" IP down the PHP.

Currently it's Internet -> Nginx proxy (in a container) -> Apache2 backend with forum software (a custom container since nobody makes an SMF container).

Fancy! (Also TIL about podman, looks neat!)

Yup! It's basically an implementation of Docker, only not.

A belated congrats!

Thanks! Legally married Jan 3 this year, celebration to be determined. :)

No need to fix what ain't broken!

Almost shocked that the server hasn't been broken into/defaced in some capacity given the version stagnancy, I'm sure automated scans/attempts were made over the years... +1 to perfect.

Haha I know right? I feel better that I'm finally hosting this on its own container so it can't impact my other sites anymore.

Who else still lurks?

I mostly don't, I'm just the resident historian :)

Wow, how long has it been!? And there's only one (minor) upgrade to SMF? Either that means it's abandoned, or perfect. Dunno which. :)

Anyways, I rebuilt the server it's on, again. Actually, my husband Chris (not Sidoh) did. This is now running as a container on a Podman server, along with all my other sites. So at least if this gets pwned for being old and janky, it will be much more difficult to do anything bad with it!

Cheers!

Hmmm!

Hey all,

I just updated to the latest version of SMF, and moved the forum to my new server.

If you have any problems or bugs, please tell somebody who cares :D :D :D

Love,

iago

Haha, there's enough pushback that FINE! I'll move it and update it and stuff! :P

I couldn't get MySQL to turn on this morning. I knew it was coming - it's been having harddrive problems for awhile.

So, I moved everything to Linode, and it seems to be good! Let me know if you run into any problems, something always goes wrong when I move the server.

FWIW, my last backup was a week old, so earlier today there were a couple posts missing. I just went back and copied the original files (not backups, but the files themselves) off my old server and loaded them here, and it seems to be working. :)

Hitmen - OMG email me or something@ ron at skullsecurity.net! I was trying to get in touch with you recently but had no idea how!

What's wrong is there's no upvote button, even for posts about drawing dicks on Joe's face!

But yeah, I communicate directly with a few x86'ers through FB, and we have a FB group with most of us (if you use FB, send me a link to your account so I can invite you, it's for friends too :) )

Haha yeah, it was more of a plan, but eh? I didn't check back, and I just renewed the domain for 3 years and fixed the SSL cert. So we won't have to worry about this again till 2018 :)

Hey everybody,

x86labs.org is coming up for renewal in February, and the SSL cert is up for renewal like tomorrow (and it's gonna be a pain in the butt to renew the cert).

I'm wondering if I should bother? Here's my proposal (which makes my life easier):
- Move the forum to a subdomain of skullsecurity.org (since I have a wildcard SSL cert and will maintain that domain till I'm cold and dead)
- Make the forum read-only (so we can keep it as a monument, since nobody really posts anymore anyways)
- Declare a new 'official' space for us (whether it's the current Facebook group or we make a Google Group or whatever, I don't care)

Thoughts?

Holy fucking crap, ten years ago today me and James got the forum online, which I'm counting as our official start. Congrats for remaining such cool people! We definitely did something right. :)

6 of us have managed to gather in San Francisco, it seems. Join us for a virtual drink tonight at 7pm PDT / 8pm MDT / 9pm CDT / 10pm EDT! Here's a link:

(Hopefully that link works! It works for me, but I created it - if there are problems, I'll create a fresh Hangout and post it here)

Note: hanging out with us requires a G+ account ;)

Hey everybody,

I mentioned this on FB, but for those of you who aren't there or didn't see it...

October 11, 2014 - a Saturday - is our 10 year anniversary as a group. To celebrate, I want to have get together in San Francisco. Details to be determined, but who can make it out!? If people need a place to stay, let me know.

All members/friends are welcome :D

Up till recently, I played D&D. Then I moved. :(
