OmnomIRC will be down for unspecified time
« on: September 20, 2012, 10:29:24 am »
Hi all,

The server hosting OmnomIRC is/was experiencing HW problems.
I've switched temporarily to another server, and to make sure everything stays running fine, I can not take the burden for hosting OmnomIRC (it's a big resource hog).
I don't know when I'll be able to host it again :[

Sorry for the inconvenience.

How much resources does it demand? Perhaps me/Juju could take the load for now while? :)

And what about 57o9? (BTW I finally found out what caused those memory leaks that kept locking up the server, freeing about 400 MB RAM \o/)

Or maybe this thing would be able to handle OmnomIRC.

That sucks. Hopefully you can afford to host it again (and to repair your server)

Btw what happened to Netham45?? O.O I think he hasn't posted on IRC and forums in several months! O.O

Yeah, I was thinking about that Minecraft server... it can go down for a while, since no one really uses it. :P

And what about 57o9? (BTW I finally found out what caused those memory leaks that kept locking up the server, freeing about 400 MB RAM \o/)
Yeah, I mentioned you in my post as a possibility. :)

I'm surprised no one mentioned taking the time to redesign OmnomIRC and make it more efficient for servers and clients! :) That path would mean anybody could really host it, and there could be redundancy fallbacks when, say, Netham45's server goes down (and 4 other servers could take its place).

He hasn't been responding to emails and stuff. I haven't texted him very recently though. Last I heard he had just gotten a job so he could be really busy with that.

AAh that could explain that. I guess if he doesn't answer within a few weeks then you might want to do some lobster hunting and make sure nothing wrong happened, though (something similar to the two former Revsoft admins, for example). He might jus tbe gaming like crazy as well. If you ever needed any help paying hosting though just shoot me a PM.

I've talked to Shmibs about how we possibly could redesign it, so that it is not dependent on a SQL database. Also, if there is a redesign, I think we should use WebSockets instead of the current implementation. I know it would mean no support for older browsers anymore, but it will be by far the easiest thing to do (and the best).

Also, about rehosting OmnomIRC: Don't forget that OmnomIRC was the cause of the outages on the current Omnimaga server, and I don't think the server has been changed meanwhile ?

It would definitively need to be hosted on a separate server as it has been for a while now.

Btw is there the possibility of losing OmnomIRC permanently?? O.O That would certainly cut down our already-dwindling userbase considerably...

With OmnomIRC down, does it means Omninet is unlinked from EFnet too?
