    Web Site and TS3 Moving (again)

    in Propaganda Room

    Posted

    I can add Discord, would need admin to the Discord though.

    TS is actually being used right now!

    I will be putting the web site into maintenance mode late Europe time today, transfer will take a couple of hours and all should be good tomorrow.

    Web Site and TS3 Moving (again)

    in Propaganda Room

    Posted

    Hi all.

    I have now been able to work out how to host our website and TS3 more reliably, currently using a VM on the DCS server but that likes to go to sleep sporadically.
    During the weekend I will transfer the forums to a better host, this will require extended downtime so that I can host the ~200GB of files (downloads, uploads, gallery, post attachments, and Check Skins).

    Apologies for inconvenience.

    Flaky TeamSpeak - Time to move to Discord?

    in Jim's Place

    Posted

    Sorry chaps, must have got into my spam filter!
    Not aware until now there was an issue with TS on new host, and there isn't a scheduled job running at 22:00... Digging into it now.

    For what it is worth, TS license is free!

    I do have a standalone VM that is more than capable of running TS3 and if the votes are to keep it I can very easily move it (we would use a domain name like ts.dangerdogz.com).

    Thoughts?

    Webserver and TeamSpeak Maintenance

    in Propaganda Room

    Posted

    Hi all,
    As I am sure you have all noticed we are currently experiencing reliability issues with the web site and TS in its new hosting environment.

    In order to remediate this I will need to take the site offline for 2-3 hours, I expect the impact to TeamSpeak to be less disruptive (about an hour) so will endeavour to carry out this work today August 12th after the advertised scheduled meetup sessions (as shown in our calendar).

    I had intended to do this work after midnight UK time, but have struggled to fit this in with my own schedule.

    Apologies for the inconvenience@

    Issues With The DCS Server

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    That should be down now, I had 2 VMs running briefly (long story but in brief I broke one of them and needed to transfer 250GB of data to its replacement).

    I will need to start a smaller and more simple VM as a backup destination on the C drive.

    Issues With The DCS Server

    Apologies!

    That headless is indeed for the Web server, it is a Linux virtual machine.
    Turns out there was a bug in the software and it did cause a few BSODs as well, I updated and it appears to be OK now.

    The headless VM will auto start with Windows, and it also does our TeamSpeak.

    Web site and TS3 Move

    in Propaganda Room

    Posted

    Hi all.

    I am consolidating the the web site and TS3 server onto the game server to reduce our monthly costs.

    Everything is now prepared and working in new location, I will be swinging the DNS across during Euro quiet time and, as far as the web site goes, this should be pretty transparent to you all.
    TS3 *may* be a little more challenging, I cannot test that until I can stop the old server and transfer the license, but am am quite confident it will work!

    The Collective Project

    Wow!

    Very impressive, and well made!

    Now that I have access to a Tormach770M CNC mill I have been thinking of resurrecting my collective project.
    Original I 3D printed parts, but seeing how you designed and created this has inspired me :)

    Disabled Some Applications Temporarily

    in Propaganda Room

    Posted

    Hi all,

    As topic title suggests I have had to disable some applications, and customizations, temporarily whilst trouble shooting some errors as requested by our software support people.

    The search function has also been affected by the errors, once system has been fixed I will be re-enabling the applications and cutomizations one at a time to ensure all continues to run well.

    OK Hardware modder's

    Found my CAD drawings and models, originally I was going to make an X55 connector to slip over the original MSFFB2 stick stub.
    I canned it because of the complexity getting the electrical contact pads implemented.

    Any way, I can very easily modify the model to suite other applications very similar to the SopGrip idea.
    I can also machine it out of Delrin, much faster than 3D printing too 😉

    Read this thread if you want to see what is possible if you have access to 3D printers and cnc machines

    his seat tensioner/ G simulator is awesome :)

    Awesome work that guy has done, he has one heck of a man cave!

    My CNC is a much larger affair, will machine 1.4M x 400mm.
    I never considered machining carbon fiber, that is giving me bank account draining ideas!
    Must get back on my collective project, not having to print everything now makes it a more feasible proposition...
