Looking back at the downtime
December 25th, 2009 by Elmaron
The 16th December of 2009, Eloxoph was gone. Well, just happened and can't be changed. Still, this enlightens a bit the path where WeIRCd and the network will go — Read more...
WeIRCd 0.7.5 released
December 19th, 2009 by Elmaron
WeIRCd 0.7.5 has been released. The most notable improvement is a graphical settings pane for Windows users so that you don't need to touch the actual config file yourself in most cases (it still misses some options, so to operate an advanced server you will need to). For all operating systems, it features the INVITE command, a small but interesting fix for USERHOST and an ip line inside the WHOIS which allows your users to grab their own internet ip more easily.
There are no security updates, only a memory leak fixed - so updating is still advised.
Downtime, some rushed info
December 17th, 2009 by Elmaron
The server went down for some reason and refused to restart. The exact cause is not known, but it is assumed that ntpd, the time sync daemon, is involved as it was found to be defunct when the machine finally started without finishing the INIT process properly. — Read more...
Invite command and hidden IPs
December 13th, 2009 by Elmaron
We now have working INVITE command on Eloxoph, thanks to the upcoming WeIRCd 0.7.5 (as usual, you can checkout the development source here without having to wait for the next major release). — Read more...
friendly landlord, Strato & IPv6
December 4th, 2009 by Elmaron
I asked Strato, the company running the friendly.landlord.eloxoph.com server (our only chat server at the time) about IPv6. Sadly, they don't have a detailed schedule when it is going to be available.
WeIRCd is pretty much IPv6 capable (untested and a minor function still missing to check config entered ips for being about valid that I'll write in a few minutes probably), so this is the only thing holding us off from IPv6 on the main server.
Well there's still linking you say. True, this will also bring us IPv6 capable servers into the net probably. But linking will still take a reasonable amount of time. — Read more...
WeIRCd 0.7.2 released
November 29th, 2009 by Elmaron
Finally, WeIRCd 0.7.2 has been released. It features improved services that allow for channel management with flags lists. Also, it features a graphical administration panel for Windows which is hopefully making administration more convenient and easier. The panel will be extended in the future to list the configuration's settings as graphical settings dialog. — Read more...
Wikipedia losing editors
November 27th, 2009 by Elmaron
Apparently, Wikipedia is losing editors on a great scale. I don't know the major cause for this, but I know for sure that a lot of articles got deleted just because some people think they are not notable — Read more...
