Becalmed

Well, despite my outburst I have not been cast out so I think I can assume that everything's cool with the chat.

Server is back online, the attacker has tried again unsuccessfully and hopefully this is the end of this obviously RIAA/MPAA funded vandal fucking with a tiny little chat server.

I am feeling good now, everything is starting to really look like it's converging towards a new stability, something I've never experienced in my life before. I have work, I have an 'extended family' (the clubhouse) who I am so happy.

I am considering relocating overseas. Mainly because I can get the proper medication in other countries where I cannot get it here. I have also, as blogged in previous posts, got something of an interest in a lovely woman from slovenia. Well, whatever happens, happens.

I have now got a web server and ircd running, the ircd has ssl enabled via stunnel, the router has only got port forwards for the ssl versions of both, and I have also set up hidden services, for which I will sadly have to restart my tor server and again withdraw my service to the community for a short time.

I have been wanting to be able to run both of these things and most especially within the construct of the tor hidden service, for quite some time now, it is a joy to be able to say I now have a connection more that capable of doing it, my upstream bandwidth is about 800kbit/s and that is plenty with a minimal tor server at 160kbit/s.

Now to start putting something interesting to people on it :)
