Migrated over to a new server. Still tweaking some things, but at least this forum is up.

Will be working on setting up things like https, git repositories, and maybe a music stream.

Everything should be up and running better than it used to be. Some changes: * site is now on a dedicated server with some pretty decent specs - 10 TB bandwidth, 2 older xeon cpus, 8 gb RAM, 250 GB hdd - moved away from digitalocean because why not, this is only 4x as expensive * made the forum use html5 routing mode, which gets rid of the # in the url - also lets me do cool things like use # to link to individual posts, maybe coming soon * switched from using waitress to using pypy + gevent to run the backend - should be faster i guess and can handle more of the massive traffic coming at it :^) * moved forum from kuudere.moe to forum.kuudere.moe - put a somewhat empty homepage in its old place, will hopefully add more things to it later * split forum into two subdomains, forum and forum-api, not really too important * set up real https instead of using CloudFlare's flexible https feature - https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/ and https://bjornjohansen.no/securing-nginx-ssl were helpful * set up the latest and greatest Gogs for hosting git repositories at https://git.kuudere.moe - registration is open, but i doubt anybody will actually use it other than me - was going to try to set up GitLab instead, but it's super bloated and took forever just to install * also needs a MySQL db and MySQL is garbage TODO: * probably set up concourse or something super exciting for automating builds and deployment - then probably work on nbb a bit so builds of that aren't dead * rice the homepage - maybe add a different rei or some other waifus * add more things to homepage, like probably links to git * maybe add a music stream link, since i do have one * install more cool things on the server * actually improve the code behind the forum - vue.js looks amusing - as does elixir, but this probably won't happen * add a preview button so i can see what this super long post looks like before i post it * start new projects and never finish them * waste more money on stupid shit Think that about covers everything I might have missed. If you have any cool ideas on what to do now that I have a cool server, feel free to suggest things. I'm off to sleep, since setting all this up pretty much took all evening.
