8chan deep lore, oh god.
Anyways, what are the thoughts on Voxday's little new project? Does it have potential?
heads up:
i've been hearing rumors and seeing people banned today
they must be on the warpath at discord furry hq
there is a tweet floating around saying they're deleting servers related to the "alt right" but it's fake
oh boy
@Trunksüchtig : You're welcome. This is also Nool lore however. I think it can work.
I tried it out by surfing to a dark stream and it made it snappy.
I also think that it is going after servers talking shit about McFlurries. They are the sensitive types, because they used to be the pariahs of the Internet.
there are new accounts for Don ronkers and @Awakened Saxon saying they got banned
but their old accounts still show up
Get ready to move to riot
I mean, is it a surprise? It is a S.V company with S.V servers, whose top admins are, um, admirers of the zoocosplaying lifestyle with all that it entails.
Riot?
I need to setup a backup Riot server. I expect Discord to start shoahing servers fairly soon.
@mattforney A messaging platform like Discord, but open source (Apache 2 license) and not censored if you host it yourself.
interesting
any special requirements for hosting a Riot server?
Nope, but you need SSH, root, and the ability to run long-term processes.
When I get time, I want to perfect a Docker/Kubernetes deployment of it. That can be easily moved between webhosts.
Riot needs a few pieces of server software installed. The Riot client, a Matrix server named Synapse, and an ICE server for audio chat between people behind firewalls.
is it possible to do voice calls over Riot?
that's really the only reason why I use Discord: for the show
Yes, it can.
I really need to play around with it. It looks like it can federate with other Matrix/Riot servers.
Federated you say
More like fedorate
Federation is the only thing censor proof out there short of outright gore and CP. Sometimes also porn.
Federation is partway between centralized services and fully distributed services. Centralized services are easy to build, but easy to censor and provide a central point of failure. Distributed is very difficult to censor and not reliant on any one person, but difficult to implement properly.
Federated is easy to implement, but also difficult to censor unless you can shut down all the individual servers.
bandwidth is usually a big deal when hosting your own stuff
but text and voice like discord would be minimal load
Look what the dogs have dragged in.
oooooh they're gonna take Terror House down
how scary
