I can set up an IRC server on the server, however we are not allowed to link any servers outside of it them, because of the rules that are set by The Planet.

J is all about the dirty talk

people were chatting today... good times.

of course its f'ed atm cause i can't get on

**Mainframeguy** · May 16th, 2006

there was a poetry recital there today

**Jewelzz** · May 16th, 2006

It's been f'ed for weeks. We need a real IRC server, that works!

**Geffy** · May 18th, 2006

It should have been *marginally* better over the last couple of days, but I agree we do need a properly functioning network

**Xie** · May 25th, 2006

Been a bit better the last couple days. Once you google to find the name of some of the IRC servers run by Geffy.

**Steevo** · May 25th, 2006

I might chat on some occasions.

**Steevo** · May 25th, 2006

What kind of bandwidth is needed to run a IRC server?

**Mainframeguy** · May 25th, 2006

for OSNN? Tiny! It's all about uptime... more like - or rather keeping downtime short and sweet maybe? Ask Geffy - he could give you stats - I expect X-perience knows too (among others)

**SPeedY_B** · May 25th, 2006

You can happily run an IRCd with a hand-full of users off a 28.8k modem. Put it that way :P

Stability and uptime are the key though.

**Steevo** · May 25th, 2006

I haff this PC you see...........

It has been running for weeks with no reboot, no monitor or accessory attached besides it running F@H.

**SPeedY_B** · May 25th, 2006

It's a nice offer, however servers running off someone's DSL/Cable tend not to work too well (Squeaknet proved that).

very true. You really need datacenter housed servers for it. the main advantage of a datacentre housed server is that it doesnt have to move when you do.

with regards to bandwidth, it doesnt really need much, especially for the size which we are

**Steevo** · May 25th, 2006

True, my IP addy changes every 36 days or thereabouts.

**kcnychief** · May 26th, 2006

I'll host it, my data center package is HUGE.

What do I need to do?

Have an absolute guaranteed 99.9% uptime, make sure your provider will allow the hosting of an IRCd, and sell your soul to Matt.

Thems the rules.

**Mainframeguy** · May 29th, 2006

and what about a fixed IP address and DNS maping? (or is that what you sell your soul for?

)

I seriously doubt the huge datacentre package is required for #OSNN unless there's something I dont know about... but no doubt it could be utlized somehow and maybe the more the merrier with the right DNS -> IP mapping thinger going on....

**SPeedY_B** · May 29th, 2006

The data-center is required for stability.

Little joey's AMD K6-2 350Mhz, running an out of date IRCd over a 64k line, whilst it may work wonderfully, isn't exactly the height of stability, and as much as you think it may be, neither is your home box/server/dsl/cable.

We don't need a dedicated 100mbit line and a quad opteron set-up, we just need stability. We are currently discussing the options for the IRC channel amongst the EP and the mods. Once a solution has been arranged, then we will announce it.

so Derek, when's the official OSNN IRC server going online?
