Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

Gaming / Diablo 2: Resurrected
Last post by Blaze - August 16, 2021, 05:48:35 AM
There's a complete remaster of Diablo 2 coming out at the end of September!  Is this a new era of D2Backstab?  Probably not.  Will we try anyway?  Let's find out!

https://diablo2.blizzard.com/en-us/

Is anyone planning on picking this one up?  Do people read these forums?  Answer below!

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).

I was just wondering, while I was logging in, if this site was run in a container or not.  Now I know!

Congratulations!

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

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

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.

This is now running as a container on a Podman server, along with all my other sites.

Actually, my husband Chris (not Sidoh) did.

A belated congrats!

And there's only one (minor) upgrade to SMF? Either that means it's abandoned, or perfect.

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,

By this point the bowl would've dried up...
