Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Okay. The database was reset on the beta site. Also, if you use the 'forgot my password' thing to reset your password, then that will also take care of resetting a password for an existing user. In other words, you don't have to actually know your password to log in. However, your profile addy has to be good.
Now to look at that URL parsing.
I improved the URL handling. Should be working better now.
Looks good!
I have a weird bug and I'm not sure what's going on. I'm using Firefox as my default browser (on windows 10) and in the past 24 hours or so b.org won't load (I opened chrome to post this). Connection to other websites is fine - it looks like it's just this website.
Before I'm clearing cache on my bazillion opened tabs or so to see if this helps, any idea what's going on?
Edited to add: did a few things, looks like problem solved. No idea what it was from the bunch of things I did that solved it.
Does anyone else have trouble with Read New? About half the time now, when I click on that instead of the specific thread, the browser crashes.
It getting about time to transition to the new board. I need to update the new board code and make sure it works on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I'd like to host on Digital Ocean or AWS, but I'd need help getting the domain redirected.
I have all those details if you can tell me what you need/what I need to do!
Cool. I'll need to get to updating soon.
Gud, are there funds needed?
I don't think so. If we went with AWS and reserved a 2 CPU 1 GB RAM webserver and a 2 CPU 1 GB RAM database for 3 years, it would be $327. That breaks down to $9 a month. We might use some S3 storage as well for archived material, but that would be very low cost. Add a little for DNS service and maybe $11 a month. I'm not sure how that compares to current hosting cost. That won't provide failover if an Amazon data center goes down, but that seems pretty livable.
We could also just host the database on the webserver machine and cut costs even more, but that using the AWS database service means they manage the DB and backups and such which is nice.
