What is the difference and improvements over SPDY?

Also lol at the Gopher site. XD

Heh, adding support for a protocol which pretty much died a couple decades ago ?

u/Dream of Omnimaga January 06, 2016, 07:44:04 PM

Well, when I ran Omni, Netham45 added Opera 3.0 support to OmnomIRC-Mini, after all, and SMF still has support for old mobile phones such as the Nokia 3310 and I bet it can be browsed easily from a 50 MHz computer via https://codewalr.us/index.php?wap2

Haha, that reminds me Juju was working on a telnet bbs at one point. Or was it an omni or cw frontend ?

u/Dream of Omnimaga January 06, 2016, 08:54:22 PM

That was on Omni, but it disappeared at some point. I forgot if it was due to 57o9 shutdown or something else.

u/novenary January 06, 2016, 08:59:45 PM

Nah that was more recent, something like last year.

Oh ok. Not sure why it failed, then. Didn't it at least get online for a short while?

They pretty much took SPDY (which was Google's attempt of making an improved HTTP protocol), improved it and made it into an Internet Standard. Vendors, such as Nginx and Google, are now replacing and phasing out SPDY for the newer HTTP/2.

Ah I see then. As long as it doesn't cause compatibility issues. I remember when DarkestEx had massive CW lag when we switched to https.

I just changed the max unused session lenght from 48 minutes to 3 hours. That should fix some of the issues people have when they write very long posts during 2 hours (unless they take 6 years to write the said post)

TODO: Investigate why CW Twitter now posts everything twice. I suspect that the Facebook account has been linked to Twitter by one of the staff or automatically or Twitterfeed is messed up.

EDIT: I just delinked the Facebook page from Twitter now. Let's see if it works on next Twitterfeed update...

I have updated the todo list and feature idea in the first post, but I might have forgotten some stuff. I removed stuff that was already fixed and added the following:

-Fix karma showing up twice below posts
-Fix Soundcloud plugin.
-Get @Juju to move some of his less useful files elsewhere than CW server and get @Streetwalrus to check if some old server logs could be pruned, because we almost used all of our 30 GB disk space (we have less than 3 GB left from what I saw on some server page a few days ago and Juju used about 16 GB alone IIRC).

I also lowered the priority of the Merch store, because the Canadian dollar is just too low (a sample t-shirt would probably be $50 as a result).

Just freed up >3GB of space by cleaning apt's cache. Package manager cache takes a lot more space than logs (currently <500MB) and isn't really worth keeping around. Juju still needs to move his stuff off the server (he uses 14GB

) but at our current growth rate this should be enough for now. We have 20% disk space free now (6GB).

u/Dream of Omnimaga February 16, 2016, 09:12:13 AM

Yeah, it might be nice if he moved his stuff, though, or at least, the bigger files. We try to keep hosting costs to a minimum so we would rather prefer not having to upgrade >.<
