@#Staff So, what are we doing about @welcomepony?
Monday, 11-Mar-13 13:52:01 UTC from web-
@minti I thought @redenchilada had it working again.
-
@colfax He would need the source for that, and I'm the only one who had it. (It's gone now cause I'm stupid.)
-
@minti Oh hell, what did you do now?
-
@colfax I lost the SSH key for my Ec2 instance, and ended the instance before they started charging me out the butt cause free-tier ended. So I lost the source and all the data it had collected. So someone is going to need to remake it.
-
@minti Ouch...
-
@colfax Yeah. It's partially my fault cause I was still mad over the Nerthos crap but uh. If no one has better ideas I could re-code it. It's not exactly something that's hard to make, I'd just need a place to host it. xD
-
@minti I've said multiple times I can host it on my server; how memory intensive is it?
-
@zeldatra This is the first time I've heard this. Not very. The main issue is that it'll be fetching the public timeline of RDN every 30 seconds 24/7 xD
-
@minti Doesn't sound TOO bad...
-
@zeldatra Before anything though, I'll probably ask @nlghtmaremoon if I can host it on Pinkie. Cause his server is OP and then I can do ****tons of statistics logging. xD
-
@minti Wish I could help with that, but as it is I'm borrowing money to keep the lights on here.
-
@widget Connecting it to meteor would be possible, but I think that would be a lot more complicated than just polling every so often. As far as making it a plugin I honestly don't know.
-
@colfax Oh, jeez. And this is one more reason why I should stop spending on myself so much. :X Though I did at least donate once.
-
@colfax Heh it's fine, I have quite a few options at hand already I think so I should be good. Also bleh, been there, done that. :x
-
@widget Yeah, that would work. I wouldn't be able to add source and stuff though, which kinda makes me sad xD
-
@neurario I haven't been able to donate even once, so you're one up one me there.
-
@colfax But I thought you just said...
-
@neurario I'm talking about the lights where I live, not the site.
-
@minti I didn't quite realize it was up for discussion...
-
@colfax Oh. Derp. Yeah, I misinterpreted.
-
@scribus It wasn't. I'm bringing it up for discussion. :p
-
@minti Ah. Well, then, um... I vote we keep her. (How's that?)
-
@widget By "source and stuff" I'm talking about all the little other features people use to play with.
-
@widget Easy: Unnecessary strain upon the server. :p
-
@minti onStartNoticeSave passes the notice being sent as an argument. You can parse that for commands
-
@widget Which has less of an impact than an entire on-site db-crawl every time someone asks how many notices they posted today.
-
@minti I thought you removed that...?
-
@redenchilada I removed the gui, and by removed I mean started a recode and forgot to finish it. The stats were still there. xD If you guys want a basic thing that welcomes new users then a plugin is the obvious choice, but for what I was doing with it an external bot is prefered.
-
@widget Shh. xD
-
@widget I guess.
-
@widget Yeah it makes sense. It's just bluh bluh PHP and bluh bluh I won't be the one in charge of the bot anymore. :p
-
@widget Lol before I was doing everything either from a separate PHP GUI or by directly manipulating MySQL.
-
@widget Yeah, the PHP one was a mess. I was going to rewrite it as a node app.
-
@widget Cause it's build for command line usage, and for IO unlike PHP.
-
@minti You mean you didn't keep a copy of your code on your HDD?
-
@nerthos Nope.
-
@minti God minti. As pon pon would say, get your s*** together.
