[x86] Announcements / Updated + new server (again!)

« on: July 06, 2021, 12:30:39 pm »

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!

Love,

iago

[x86] Announcements / Server finally died :D

« on: August 22, 2015, 11:57:55 pm »

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.

[x86] Announcements / Move / disband the forum/site?

« on: December 29, 2014, 12:13:22 pm »

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?

[x86] Announcements / TEN FUCKING YEARS!

« on: October 11, 2014, 01:08:16 pm »

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

All members/friends are welcome

General Discussion / Online advertising

« on: January 02, 2014, 11:08:48 am »

Living in the Bay, working at the Google.

Wow, I'm surprised!  I didn't think you would leave Canada, or work at a huge monopoly corporation. It's probably a nice place to work though.

Yeah, I didn't think I'd leave Canada either, but here I am!

I wouldn't call it a 'monopoly'. On one hand, I feel bad that 99.9% of my salary comes from ad revenue; on the other hand, they're constantly changing the world for the better, and they have really good policies regading privacy (privacy is SUPER important to them, because people will jump on anything) and lock-in (it's important that every app lets you view, manage, and export all your data). So that's a plus, at least.

[x86] Announcements / OMG SSL!

« on: December 30, 2013, 08:05:17 pm »

I just bought a SSL cert for "forum.x86labs.org". You'll now be able to enjoy the privacy and security of SSL while we talk about all our shenanigans!

I'm also forcing everybody on SSL, cuz why not?

Let me know if you get any cert errors or have other issues!

[x86] Announcements / New server + update

« on: October 10, 2013, 12:30:07 pm »

Hey all,

I just updated the forum to the latest version of SMF, and also moved it to a new server. The ip address is currently the same, but it's being proxied through this address to 206.220.196.59. This will be a little slower, but it's only a temporary measure.

Let me know if you have any issues!

« on: September 27, 2013, 05:10:09 pm »

I'm moving to the Bay Area. :-o

I'll figure out how to keep this server running when I go. Hopefully that'll go well.

Hey folks,

I just physically moved the server to a house I bought. Hopefully you'll notice a speed improvement, as my connection speed has significantly improved: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/2831255559

Have fun!

« on: June 03, 2013, 03:55:28 pm »

Hey guys! I'm gonna be in the Bay Area from June 13 - July 2!

How's everybody's schedules looking for another get-together? I'm thinking on Friday June 28th, perhaps? Or maybe Saturday the 29th? I'm certainly open to other days, and will start a Doodle if this gets complicated.

Who's in!?

I did a major version update on Apache last night (2.2 -> 2.4) and broke a bunch of stuff. I think it's all fixed now, but if you notice anything odd let me know!

General Discussion / Quick infrastructure note...

« on: September 07, 2012, 11:19:43 am »

You may have noticed some downtime this morning. It was brief and planned - I installed a UPS. So hopefully from now on, there will be less downtimes.
