geez it's already been a year since freenode blew up?
<isd>
Time isn't real anymore.
<ocdtrekkie>
And what's amazing is that apart from like the week worrying about switching from one to the other, it's been entirely a non-event for us.
<isd>
As it turns out, standardized protocols are a really good thing.
<ocdtrekkie>
I think every time I check Freenode's site for giggles it's something different.
<ocdtrekkie>
It's a MediaWiki now.
<ocdtrekkie>
A couple months ago it was like a bad HN clone mostly posted to by bots.
<isd>
I have mostly forgotten about freenode
<ocdtrekkie>
Haha, site literally says "It was reddit last time let's do media wiki this time yeah suire let's keep the Excitement coming"
<ocdtrekkie>
Whoa, I just found out something really nice:
<ocdtrekkie>
When my ISP sold my area to another ISP, I am under different terms of use. Terms of use which do not explicitly prohibit listening on port 443.
<isd>
Congrats
<ocdtrekkie>
New problem: Sandstorm will only listen to a single port for HTTPS, unlike for HTTP.
<ocdtrekkie>
So I can move my Sandstorm server to 443, at the cost of breaking all existing links.
<ocdtrekkie>
It actually might be okay, if I put the old port in HTTP.
<isd>
not if the links have https: in them, which they probably do
<ocdtrekkie>
It says in the docs if the URL matches the wildcard host pattern, it redirects.
<ocdtrekkie>
But I am unsure if there are cases that will not cover.
<ocdtrekkie>
Or, oh, since on alternate ports it is expecting HTTP, the HTTPS request will fail, I guess?
<ocdtrekkie>
I wonder if there's a particular technical reason we can listen on multiple HTTP ports but only one HTTPS port.
<isd>
I doubt it
<ocdtrekkie>
Okay, 3619 and 3620 filed thinking about my world if self-hosting on 443, something I imagined might never happen.
<TimMc>
An unmaintained wiki full of spam and test posts, at that.
<ocdtrekkie>
Hmmm?
<ocdtrekkie>
Oh. Freenode
<ocdtrekkie>
lol
<ocdtrekkie>
Something like https://cockpit-project.org would be really nice to manage the server running Sandstorm.
<ocdtrekkie>
Wondering if something like that might be usable as part of assembling a Sandstorm distro/box where we know people aren't gonna be SSHing in or attaching a monitor.
