What would be the benefits if nekochan changed?

That's sort of what I want to find out. I've often heard that phpBB based forums are not held in high esteem, and I just want to make sure we're on a platform everyone is happy with.

Everything's working fine with phpBB3 from an administrative standpoint - it's even faster now running under php-5.3.0. If everyone else is happy with it I'll keep things as-is

Now you mention this, I wonder how Google index those pages.

Probably treats crawlers as a separate class of user and serves them special content - phpBB3 does this as well (look at the "Registered Users" at the bottom of the forum's main page).

That's a vBulletin feature. phpBB doesn't support plugins, only direct code mods (which are a pain in the ass to maintain).

The reason you got spammed is that you're not hiding your e-mail address on your forum profile; it's visible to everyone. An automated e-mail scraper pulled the address, matched it to the domain it was found on and launched the spam.

That's why it's never a good idea to keep your e-mail in the clear like that. You should probably change your profile settings.

Wrote on the subject of Captcha at Sept. 14, 2009, 4:44 p.m...

I'm now trying out the new captcha options in 3.0.6 -- a question/answer captcha rather than distorted text.

Hopefully targeted questions such as "Name the operating system used by SGI's MIPS-based computers" and "What does the "S" in SGI stand for" will be easy for legitimate users (potentially much easier than straining with a hard-to-see text captcha) while obscure enough to discourage the cell phone/shoe/handbag salesmen.

Not a problem at all - I enjoy providing it. It's actually a heck of a lot of fun getting all this up and running under IRIX; I even had one of the PHP core developers on the server bug testing patches for php-5.3.1 a couple weeks ago

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46074 (testing the fix for this bug; went well!)

It lacks framebuffer support, so this would be a server application rather than a desktop.

Ah, maybe because you'd already run "seamonkey-2.0_irix.patch" which modifies that file. phpBB also tends to mess up whitespace in code blocks (tabs and spaces).

The important thing is that it worked

I'm a little rusty... what have I forgotten to do, here?!

Looks like you're picking up an older version of libsqlite3.so (which lacks the symbol) from /usr/nekoware/lib rather than the bundled version. From your post above:

Code:

libsqlite3.so => /usr/nekoware/lib/libsqlite3.so

It should be using the libsqlite3.so from /usr/nekoware/lib/firefox-2.0.22pre, which is provided in the following locations:

Code:

  neko@Kazehana ~ % versions long | grep libsqlite3.so
  
  f 12405  1390 neko_firefox.sw.lib     usr/nekoware/lib/firefox-2.0.0.22pre/libsqlite3.so
  
  f 33867  1390 neko_seamonkey.sw.lib   usr/nekoware/lib/seamonkey-1.1.18/libsqlite3.so
  
  f 23512  1390 neko_thunderbird.sw.lib   usr/nekoware/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.23/libsqlite3.so

I don't have libsqlite3.so in /usr/nekoware/lib on my system so I didn't encounter this. If you need sqlite3, it may work to overwrite that library with the newer version provided with the Mozilla installs.

If I were to put a number on it, probably around $2000 per year. The SDSL package I use allows self hosted servers and is pretty expensive at $280 per month, but I do use it for other things too. Power costs are fairly significant for the O350s as well.

If you're just looking to start a web site and aren't as hardcore about running your own hardware at home, I'm sure you can do it for much less at a hosting facility.

Yeah, I tried to lower my costs a little this past summer by going with a cheaper ADSL package that still supported servers (business class), but the wiring in my apartment wasn't up to the task. Had to cancel it and go back to the ancient SDSL package I've been using since 2001.

I've posted neko_openssh-5.3p1.tardist to /beta.

I also put an alternate build in my contrib directory that utilizes the openssl-1.0 beta if anyone (besides myself) is feeling adventurous. The openssl-1.0 beta package (also in my contrib directory) contains a legacy subsystem for openssl-0.9.8 so it shouldn't break anything.

Yeah, it's more that some forum members have become nekonoko-hostile rather than IRIX, but point taken - there's still fun stuff to do on IRIX hardware.

I've been trying to post up on the blog some of the stuff that's slipped through the cracks during the summer when temperatures precluded powering on hardware. Probably missed some though.

No, the captcha works but it's really, really slow to come up. You just need to wait for it - can take a minute or more. Perl is excruciatingly slow under IRIX; I've been considering moving from Movable Type to WordPress for this reason.

On the plus side though it probably keeps a lot of the spammers away - they just get impatient

Excellent, thanks!

I remember at least one other episode with a lot of SGIs. One of the parts that sticks in my mind was a sequence with a "Mr. Sunshine" style CGI character controlled in realtime (on an SGI) using a mechanical rig, much like a digital puppet.
