Welcome to your new walrus overlords

Interesting, I didn't know that particular astrology existed.

Also @Juju you should edit the first post to add a list of the bots and what they do, as well as their owner.

What happened to W-802 and W-803?

u/novenary November 28, 2015, 08:21:37 AM

Idk for 803, 802 will be down every night until further notice.

I assume that the computer is on is shut down every night? Or is it ran by aeTIos or something? (who has no Internet past 10 PM) I forgot, because there's no list of who owns what in the first post. >.<

Sorry for the double post, but don't you mean 803? Because right now 802 is still online, even if it's late at night in your country.

We had decomissionned quite a few of our W-series Walriibots due to EFNet not playing nice with them, working part-time or just having technical problems, so we brought up our newest model W-808, hailing directly from Toronto. Or another planet, depends. We're still in the process of activating it properly (/me pokes @Streetwalrus), but still, welcome to the team!

If anyone from our staff want to host another one of them, that would be welcome, so please talk with me about that.

I made sure the bot would get opped, but I think you still need to choose a different efnet server than the one W-801 is on.
I'll work on bringing 802 back, and possibly setting up an 809.

Wait. Are the bots physical computers, or simply code?

u/p2 May 04, 2017, 09:52:02 AM

should be obvious since we pet and poke them all the time

jk they're code only

u/novenary May 04, 2017, 09:52:28 AM

They are programs running on various computers, the point is to have them all on different hosts and connected to different efnet servers to minimize the risk of having them disconnect all at once and losing ops (though it seems chanfix actually did its job the other day which does help a bit).

At first I was scared that @Streetwalrus had bumped my CD news down one spot only 1 hour after I posted it on the front page, but then I was happy to find out it was a necropost of an old topic.

Glad to see new bots up. I was starting to get worried the other day when I saw CHANFIX having to come in.

u/novenary May 05, 2017, 08:23:33 AM

Yeah, it's because the portlane server was acting up, and both of the remaining bots were using it for some reason. I switched one of them over to a different server before we added another two.
