        1. @corvalis Heheh, best pony!

          Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:37:51 UTC from web
    2. @minti Do you know if either Widget or Cerulean is online?

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:33:58 UTC from web
      1. @dlcentaur Widget may be online, not sure. 50% chance maybe. Cerulean is asleep. Why?

        Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:34:33 UTC from web
        1. @minti Well, those two said that they would help educate me on the basics of owning and maintaining a site such as RPRDN.

          Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:35:41 UTC from web
          1. @dlcentaur Hehhe, have fun. If you need any help I'm sure there's a few others that can also lend a hand. xD

            Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:36:18 UTC from web
            1. @minti Well, I could use your technological savviness as well. I'm useless when it comes to Tech stuff.

              Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:38:20 UTC from web
              1. @dlcentaur Well, I'm also currently running a StatusNet instance (though small) so if you ever need help you know where to find me. :p

                Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:41:20 UTC from web
                1. @minti Thankies. ^.^

                  Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:42:28 UTC from web
                2. @minti But I was wondering if you could educate me on some issues I should expect, seeing as you have experience.

                  Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:43:33 UTC from web
                  1. @dlcentaur xD I wouldn't even know where to begin if you asked me for a rundown, but if you have specific questions shoot.

                    Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:45:06 UTC from web
                    1. @minti How much does the server you're on cost?

                      Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:47:19 UTC from web
                      1. @dlcentaur I'm on a "free" VPS right now. It's a peice of crap though and would not support a site bigger than maybe 4 people. XD So yeah, you'd have to probably pay for a VPS minimum.

                        Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:50:24 UTC from web
    3. @widget Take your time. Please don't rush yourself.

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:39:17 UTC from web
    4. @widget I probably want to avoid a "free" sever, correct?

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:48:38 UTC from web
      1. @dlcentaur server*

        Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:48:43 UTC from web
    5. @widget Right. What are a few server providers that you would suggest using?

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:51:09 UTC from web
      1. @dlcentaur Why do you need a server service?

        Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:52:37 UTC from web
        1. @shadowdash454 I may be coming into ownership of a site. x3

          Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:53:55 UTC from web
          1. @dlcentaur what site! :D

            Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:54:22 UTC from web
      2. @dlcentaur @widget Linode?

        Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:52:42 UTC from web
    6. @widget I've been having to pay them ~30 cents a month for mine. Lololo

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:52:29 UTC from web
    7. @widget I don't think using a VPS would be the best idea. That's just my opinion, though.

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:53:27 UTC from web
      1. @dlcentaur Well a VPS would be slower, but cost a lot less. A dedicated will cost quite a bit but the site will run flawlessly on it most likely. :p

        Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:54:40 UTC from web
        1. @minti you know how much I pay for a dedicated server for Half-life 2 Deathmatch geez it's to much xD

          Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:55:50 UTC from web
    8. @widget I don't really like the idea of sharing a server with someone. It would make things slower, and we would have a lot less flexibility. We may have to follow someone else's rules if we share.

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:56:26 UTC from web
      1. @dlcentaur VPSs are split at the OS level. You won't be able to tell you're sharing at all. xD

        Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:58:06 UTC from web
        1. @minti @widget Okay then, how can I go about purchasing said VPS, and when would be best to do it?

          Friday, 12-Oct-12 04:59:54 UTC from web
    9. @widget Okay, good. The dedicated plan at $139 a Month was looking a mite daunting.

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:02:34 UTC from web
    10. @widget Second tier to the bottom, or second from the top?

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:07:09 UTC from web
    11. @widget Good idea. I agree that second tire from the top would be wise.

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:09:50 UTC from web
    12. @widget Well I'm on Ec2's free tier. It's basically 256MB. xDD

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:10:59 UTC from web
      1. @minti Um did you just say 256MB?

        Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:13:03 UTC from web
        1. @shadowdash454 Yes.

          Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:13:31 UTC from web
          1. @minti downloading must take FOREVER! I need that pinkie image xD

            Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:15:43 UTC from web
            1. @shadowdash454 256mb ram on the vps I'm using. 20mb/s download speed. bytes, not bits.

              Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:16:09 UTC from web
              1. @minti I feel sorry for you xD

                Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:17:35 UTC from web
                1. @shadowdash454 Hey, it's free. :p

                  Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:19:08 UTC from web
                  1. @minti It's free internet? oh I pay over 50 dollars month for my internet :P

                    Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:23:07 UTC from web
                    1. @shadowdash454 I'm not hosting the server, it's in the Amazon cloud. xD

                      Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:32:21 UTC from web
                      1. @minti nice haha!

                        Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:35:32 UTC from web
                      2. @minti Although to be fair I do have my own server, it's a personal one that's basically running in my closet though xD

                        Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:35:45 UTC from web
    13. @widget It's a shoe box. I want an actual server but # xD

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:12:13 UTC from web
    14. @widget Pfft only 2 GB my little 'ol Minecraft server eats more than that from time to time....

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:12:19 UTC from web
      1. @nlghtmaremoon Minecraft is SERIOUSLY unoptimized. I can run full on 3D games on max better than it at some times. :/

        Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:13:53 UTC from web
        1. @minti I personally find Minetest to run better than Minecraft. It has less features, though.

          Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:17:21 UTC from MuSTArDroid
          1. @omni Minecraft servers ****

            Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:19:12 UTC from web
            1. @shadowdash454 I couldn't even get the Minecraft server to run properly at home, but the Minetest server ran fine.

              Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:22:11 UTC from MuSTArDroid
              1. @omni I will have to try this Minetest

                Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:24:14 UTC from web
    15. @widget This Nginx? http://nginx.org/

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:13:01 UTC from web
    16. @widget Free within very loosely defined limits. ;p

      Friday, 12-Oct-12 05:20:04 UTC from web
    17. @widget I have it attached to one of those gift-card credit cards, so worst case scenario is Cerulean's situation comes up and they won't be able to take the money and they'll just close the account. :p
