They absolutely turned off comments because people would bring up Mittani being a sex pest and Xenuria being a paedophile and these being things that are in the public domain and not being deniable. Also dragon, your posting on the gf.com forums today was some of the finest shitposting I have ever loving seen in my life, those loving pubbies were literally a cigarette paper away from going to the slur bank as a retort. Absolute 10/10 performance

My only regret is someone managed to point out I'd not had a spaceman in GSF for 3 days, and that made someone restart the script checking against ESI which proceeded to purge me.

assuming it's built like I'd think it is, yes, that's a central pillar

* directory services (users) - everything touches this in some fashion, whether it's doing authentication or just getting forums account names to tie to other poo poo
** esi - IIRC this uses a different password so it may not authenticate against directory services but it's pulling forums names and associating them to your characters
** SRP
** jabber + mumble
** wiki
** forums
** email/alerting of some sort

There's also been a fair amount of custom development done with this stuff, like the ESI and SRP apps, possibly a bit on the forums, and then there's the effort in configuring everything and making sure it doesn't break when a couple thousand goons are beating on it at the same time. Most professional computer touchers don't also want to do it for free in their spare time, so maintaining GSF's IT infrastructure isn't something a bunch of people are going to jump forward to do, much less sifting through the pile of what's already there and trying to disentangle and migrate it to other platforms

Most of this knowledge is from 2014 + me just checking up on it over the years, but it doesn't look like much has changed from the outside in a long time besides an attempt to transition to kubernetes which probably makes life much easier.

Pretty much _nothing_ has been updated besides making sure services dont crash since 2018. A lot of the static sites have leaky AWS configurations.

ESI is an SSO wrapper of it all. with a bunch of custom scripts running on cron jobs to turn on/off services and updating states for users on all the other systems within an LDAP server, which then goes out for the rest of the stack.

JIRA obviously hasn't been updated in 5 years, but i did just check and it isn't vulnerable to log4j exploits.

SRP does look like it has had some care done to it at some point in time, its no longer a scary php project, but an angular project that looks decent in general from the outside.

There are a bunch of critical garpa things which i dont know how public they are, but are usually not tied in with the rest of the ecosystem.

Mumble had a _lot_ of custom integration to work with LDAP and just handling the load in general.

email/alerting users was done through forums, alerts for downtime and stuff was people crying on jabber.

I doubt anyone would want to take on this job. There are probably so many intricacies what you have to just know from handling it for years.

Good news is that most of it is containerized, so you can just delete the pod and hope for the best when it comes back up if you want to just keep the status quo.

Dear Sandy,

Ever since that day I hit you, I've felt like we haven't been as close.

dodkalm posted:

Roudin came up earlier in this thread and there are some things about him that require some additional context. He used to run the Madison Monthly Meetup. As early as 2017 based on comments he'd made at MMMs it was clear dude was a Nazi. I made a fair amount of noise about this to mittens, and when nothing happened I stopped going to MMMs. During 2018 Winterswarm Roudin assaulted me at plan b/prism/whatever the gently caress it was called at the time. I later tell Mittens, Mittens tells me to tell Nom, nothing ever happens. In hindsight I should have made more noise about this at the time, but this was right after Hole Squad imploded and I was pretty much checked out of the game anyways so it didn't feel worth the effort.

unrelated, but if y'all are serious about a hole violence reboot under these prism dudes I'd be down as long as I don't have to run it.

Oh yeah, this was the third guy I couldn’t stand who I met IRL. Didn’t know the Nazi poo poo, but always came off like a piece of poo poo. Him taking over the Madison meetups is why I stopped going in 2017 or 2018 or whenever it was

Hell if I know, I haven't played Eve in years and when I did I didn't exactly hang out with EO. And he hasn't exactly been part of my internet social circle since the whole going full maga thing so mostly I'm just hoping from afar that he was merely experiencing brain problems from too much weed and head trauma and that he may someday get better.
