@minti wait why am i sending this on this site, oh well
-
@minti Do you know if either Widget or Cerulean is online?
-
@dlcentaur Widget may be online, not sure. 50% chance maybe. Cerulean is asleep. Why?
-
@minti Total Colgate over here, WOOT for best pony!
-
@minti Well, those two said that they would help educate me on the basics of owning and maintaining a site such as RPRDN.
-
@dlcentaur Hehhe, have fun. If you need any help I'm sure there's a few others that can also lend a hand. xD
-
@corvalis Heheh, best pony!

@minti Well, I could use your technological savviness as well. I'm useless when it comes to Tech stuff.
-
@widget Take your time. Please don't rush yourself.
-
@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
-
@minti Thankies. ^.^
-
@minti But I was wondering if you could educate me on some issues I should expect, seeing as you have experience.
-
@dlcentaur xD I wouldn't even know where to begin if you asked me for a rundown, but if you have specific questions shoot.
-
@minti How much does the server you're on cost?
-
@widget I probably want to avoid a "free" sever, correct?
-
@dlcentaur server*
-
@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.
-
@widget Right. What are a few server providers that you would suggest using?
-
@widget I've been having to pay them ~30 cents a month for mine. Lololo
-
@dlcentaur Why do you need a server service?
-
@widget I don't think using a VPS would be the best idea. That's just my opinion, though.
-
@shadowdash454 I may be coming into ownership of a site. x3
-
@dlcentaur what site! :D
-
@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
-
@minti you know how much I pay for a dedicated server for Half-life 2 Deathmatch geez it's to much xD
-
@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.
-
@dlcentaur VPSs are split at the OS level. You won't be able to tell you're sharing at all. xD
-
@widget Okay, good. The dedicated plan at $139 a Month was looking a mite daunting.
-
@widget Second tier to the bottom, or second from the top?
-
@widget Good idea. I agree that second tire from the top would be wise.
-
@widget Pfft only 2 GB my little 'ol Minecraft server eats more than that from time to time....
-
@widget This Nginx? http://nginx.org/
-
@minti Um did you just say 256MB?
-
@shadowdash454 Yes.
-
@nlghtmaremoon Minecraft is SERIOUSLY unoptimized. I can run full on 3D games on max better than it at some times. :/
-
@minti downloading must take FOREVER! I need that pinkie image xD
-
@shadowdash454 256mb ram on the vps I'm using. 20mb/s download speed. bytes, not bits.
-
@minti I personally find Minetest to run better than Minecraft. It has less features, though.
-
@minti I feel sorry for you xD
-
@shadowdash454 Hey, it's free. :p
-
@omni Minecraft servers ****
-
@widget Free within very loosely defined limits. ;p
-
@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
-
@shadowdash454 I couldn't even get the Minecraft server to run properly at home, but the Minetest server ran fine.
-
@minti It's free internet? oh I pay over 50 dollars month for my internet :P
-
@omni I will have to try this Minetest
-
@shadowdash454 I'm not hosting the server, it's in the Amazon cloud. xD
-
@minti nice haha!
-
@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
