Heads up on a new possible webhost

[jonastio]

So, we've been with our webhost for a bit now and they've done us pretty well. As technology does it's thing, stuff gets cheaper and available resources grow. I am running a demo on a hosting service I've subscribed to for a stupid-cheap price. The server has twice the resources available. The only caveat is that it's located in Ontario, CA. Now, I've checked with them and they've got no problem hosting a gun community website that also does private sales of firearms. Legally, it shouldn't be an issue either. If I'm happy with the system in the next week or two, I might move the website to there. Now, you guys shouldn't notice any difference. It should still be nice and peppy. The best part, it's a third of the cost of what I'm paying now. Yup. Hosting for $5.25 a month. I mean, it's so ridiculously cheap that it will be simple for even the small amount of advertising that is currently done to cover the fees.

Now, I'm gonna vet it first to make sure it's not one of those "too good to be true" scenarios, but it's pretty awesome.

It's not a guaranteed thing, but just a heads up on where my head is at.

[jonastio]

Believe me when I say I had and continue to have reservations about it.

[Greg Kulbick]

Ontario, Canada or Ontario, California?

[jonastio]

Canada. At least it's still east coast so it's still pretty much on some heavy east-coast internet pipe.

[jonastio]

So, I'm pretty happy with the service at the new webhost. I've got the databases between the two sites synced up and going. I'll likely make the swap in the next couple of nights.

NerdSpeak:

The neat thing about the new site is that I'll be using nginx instead of apache. Hopefully this will gain me some performance increases that will balance out the extra time it will take since the server is in Canada.

[Cattle/Horses]

If you are used to apache, you'll LOVE nginx!

[jonastio]

I've made the change, though it might take a good couple of hours before everyone is over on the new host.

If you notice any glitches, give it an hour to see if it clears up. I should be verifying everything here in a while and we should be completely functional in about 12 hours.

[jonastio]

Okay, I've verified that most everything is working. You might notice a touch sluggishness while things are getting underway.

If tapatalk isn't working for you, you might need to reboot your device.

[WinterSoldier]

These are sweeter-tasting electrons, or what?

[jonastio]

66% cheaper electrons.

[Evil_McNasty]

Peppier electrons YO!

[jonastio]

If you are used to apache, you'll LOVE nginx!

Apache has been my bread-and-butter for a while. I still prefer it in an enterprise environment as a front-end to *any* Java application server.

Nginx has been an interesting experience. The config is a bit different and in some ways cleaner. SSL is certainly a hell of a lot easier to deal with.

Hold the phone. How does Captain Flip-Phone know anything about Nginx?!

Holy shit, Jonas. Since the server is now in Canada, the NSA or any other OGA can seize any and all data without domestic CONUS warrants, correct?

They would have to hack into the system first.

[Cattle/Horses]

I think the server is already censoring photo's we've posted. My pic of a Muslim fornicating with the donkey disappeared.

i keep getting a security certificate error on my phone. is that related to the move or is my phone retarded?

You guys are going to www.capitalcitygunforum.com or just capitalcitygunforum.com. The certificate is for forum.capitalcitygunforum.com. I'll be dealing with the cert for the primary site in the next day or so.

[e.money83]

oh. well then.

I was noodling on it and I think I know what the issue is.

[jonastio]

Okay, I've got the certificate chain set up for the forum in the web service.

Thanks for reporting the issues, folks. Helps me get it fixed.

[Mikec2003]

seems to be working ok now, thanks

Why's there a vagina beside Tack Driver's Chat?

[Jafar]

I mean, now I'm kinda tempted to go in there. So if that's your plan, you may be a genius Jonas.

[jonastio]

Yeah, I'm looking for a new service.

[jonastio]

I mean, their support personnel are nice enough, they just don't seem to have their shit together. It took 5 times telling them to update the goddamn time on their server before they looked into it. They don't know how the fuck to configure ipv6 and their disk access is slow as balls.

I'm testing out something now that's pretty much just as inexpensive.

[0utlaw]

In India?

[jonastio]

I just had to check the "yer mom" list before I responded.

We will just say that I had an appropriate comeback to your response.

[Cattle/Horses]

Jonas, log into chat and we will visit about this Canada thing.

[jonastio]

Yes. I noticed. Something is fucky with the host. I get it. I'm working on it.

[Cattle/Horses]

You still do a great job Jonas by slack ass standards. I haven't noticed anybody step up and offer to do the admin work for you.

[jonastio]

Oh, I'm not taking any of it seriously. I know how it rolls here.

[e.money83]

All bullshit aside, I think today was the only time I ever had a major problem with the site, and that seemed to remedy itself pretty quick. I was unable to get the sight to load for about twenty minutes today. Acted like it didn't exist. Then it was back, like magic.

[jonastio]

Yeah, they decided to move the virtual server to a new node in a new rack without notifying folks of the outage. Real professional.

[0utlaw]

I hate it when they do that.................

[e.money83]

...they 0110100 the 110101101 01 01?

[Tack Driver]

While I would secretly agree that Jonas does a good job, I will publicly say y'all need to quit telling him so. Contributors should not be scared of their admins. Admins should be scared of their contributors.

[jonastio]

I'll be working on moving the site to the Atlanta, GA datacenter here over the next 2-3 days.

[0utlaw]

I'm going to ATL tomorrow if you need some help moving

[jonastio]

Since you were looking to be IT management, that would mean you don't either.

Testing system post change.

[jonastio]

Cool. At this point, it should be trivial to move the rest of the site in a couple of hours.

[jonastio]

Okidoki. Things have been passed off to the new server. Yay.

[0utlaw]

You're gonna ruin your slack ass reputation if you keep this shit up

[jonastio]

That's okay. I'm making enough mistakes trying to enable ipv6 that the rep will continue.

[jonastio]

Yay. I got ipv6 running!

[12bhunting]

Yay. I got ipv6 running!

Not sure what your talking about, but if it acts up I have a hammer..

[jonastio]

So, some of y'all are probably saying "Oh, I can finally get to the forum now. What happened?"

Well, I configured the new site the way the documentation said to. Didn't work. Got creative and looks like it's fixed now.

Sorry, Not Sorry. :|

[e.money83]

Apathetic?

FYI if you weren't involved... Both CCGF & TGF were down around 4-5 a.m., this morning.

Well... (1) if you are talking to me (which I cannot tell) and if you think you wrote something previously that explained that... I don't think so. But by all means feel free to believe that you did... whatever.:banana:

[Tack Driver]

I still can't upload pictures from my computer. I can post web images and I can host them somewhere, but that seems stupid.

[Cattle/Horses]

Works for me tack.

Okay, I'm happy with the new host. We've got 3 times as much horsepower as before for $18 a quarter. Being in Atlanta makes the forum a bit peppier than the Canadian one for sure. IPV6 is back up and running. I fixed the chat issue last night (You're welcome, Tack).

I increased the upload limit so you should be able to upload larger pictures now.

I put up some google ads at the bottom of the page. I'm testing some stuff.

It's actually doubling/tripling my daily revenue. To the point where using it as a way to fund a yearly party is fairly well conceivable.

I was wondering if I got some malware or something, glad it's by design. and I for one don't care if it's there, it's at the bottom, out of sight out of mind.

That's why I put it at the bottom. Most folks wouldn't even notice it was there.

making between $1-$2 a day in advertising doesn't seem like much, but in 6 months it could be enough to pay for a booze and beef party.

Not that anyone cares, but, (1) I don't drink booze, (2) I don't eat meat... and (3) I find ads annoying.

If funding supports the operation, fine by me. If it supports drinking booze and eating beef... I could do without the aggravating advertising crapola. I admit that I see the same damn ads elsewhere but they are based on Google being nosey about products I research or buy online... and I don't really care for the idea that I'm facilitating Google's nosiness any more than is absolutely necessary.

Of course I realize it is unlikely that anyone will agree with me, but I'm a democratic kind of guy who votes on stuff whether it's up for a vote or not, and regardless of the expected outcome... and... let the chips fall where they may...

No booze or beef? I'd jump off a fucking bridge ... and cut my own throat on the way down.

Has anyone else gotten an email concerning a data breach from VerticalScope? Says they were hacked and may have lost usernames and passwords. I googled them and it says they are based out of Ontario Canada and host a lot of forums.

[jonastio]

This site hasn't been hacked.

I was just curious to see if anyone else had received a similar email or if it may have been concerning LinkedIn or another website.

It wasn't hacked, Jonas gave all your information to the Canadians voluntarily.
