VITAS

For now its stock Gogs on a fast server with backups and RAID. But i could add custom functions and SpaceDock integration if its actualy used by others than me.

https://dev.spacedock.info/ Is now running.

@TiktaalikDreaming I dont want to be responsible for trouble with your wife. Spacedock Mainly requires CPU Cycles. Theres plenty of Harddisk Space (we arent youtube and host Gbytes of Large FIles) SpaceDock allready has old Versions You can download. The problem with Beta or Dev vers is: Thy would be flagged as release and treated as such. So what im pruposing is a simple (totaly indipendendent....for now) thing called git.spacedock.info or something like it. The idea comes from the thought, that spacedock is geared towards presenting a finished product for users but does nothing to present a project to potential helpers or to help mod authors with development. I would install a Stock version of Gogs (Gitlab like software) so developers, Beta testers and interrested inidviduals can test unstable builds, host their source code, use it as version control, bug reporting, .... So in essence: It would be a github for mods that can be customized to the Mod Authors needs over time or even linked/initigrated into spacedock.

Release channels arent that trivial to add. But i could host Gogs or similar github like services if theres an interrest from the mod authors (it could be integrated into spacedock at an later stage). (Please voice it here if there is)

So i conclude, that theres nothing on my side that needs fixing.

How is it for the rest of you?

Im now forcing HTTPS on SpaceDock.

There are ways to use urls without specifying https or http (i think its simply //:bla.blub/foo). But i dont want to discuss the how, because even if we have idears we cant force squad to tinker with their soft. And as it stands with their staff issues there wont be anybody available who will implement it. So all that leaves me is to go trough my code and remove any forum thing that prevents me from forcing https on my sites. Also im greatful they even have a forum left. They could have given that to curse too P.S. I hope they ask me in the future before they outsource stuff. But i doubt they will.

its bad software if it has hard coded http urls inside. and else i see no problem with just switching to https but thats my outside view. Problem beeing: because the forums are still heavily woven into d-mp.org and i think SpaceDock i cant force https on my webservers. But i realy want to.

It helps to think about the great things that happend and the great moments one had in a year. But i hope this community stays the way it is with people beeing nice to each other and giving my brain the room to run free. There arent many places where people discuss mathematical problems as pasttime and are still welcoming and understanding towards those who dont. What i wish for the next year is for SpaceDock to have the continuing support it has and for Squad to find the right employees who enshure that they have the same spirit as this community has. And i wish they would offer https for the forums and make a Kerbalcon near me

We have over 1000 Mods on SpaceDock I thank all Mod Authors for uploding their great work. Its a nice Present for SpaceDocks first Birthday in a few days.

Another update: I just switched the SSL cert of SpaceDock.info to Let's Encrypt (StartSSL isnt trusted anymore). Some downtimes may have occured I also want to to make everyone aware, that the Donation amount is in decline. Im forced to make infrastructure cuts if it goes below a certain amount. So im asking everyone whos using SpaceDock or CKAN on a regular basis to donate $1 per month. (youre free to donate more but i prefer longer comitments for planing reasons)

I spend my day sitting next to the Rack that contains parts of SpaceDock working on its Servers

Hi, happy new year. I havent checked the response times during that timespan yet, but the server resources shouldnt cause any problem (the site runs on 4x dual xeon and 1x i7 nodes) Its slower than say 2 month ago because ive to route incoming trafic to another datacenter where the backend is running but thats a general response time penalty that shouldnt change. 52k.de is my workhorse domain its used for site analytics (stats.52k.de) Geolocation shouldnt make any differences ATM because i ditched the cdn for the moment. Bottom line: if it was /is slow its most likely backbone, dns or your local ISP. p.s. my response time was slow because i was helping with the anual chaos communication congress (hacker/nerd meet in hamburg germany)

Merry Christmas to all of you and happy new Year to all of you. May your Spacetape hold!

if its actualy working Forum Mods: Is it ok to post Job offers? (My Employer tasked me with finding some Programmers)

I Just added 1.2.2 upload your mods gentlemen Im planing to include rolls into the new software version. But its developemnt is very slow due to my workload. ATM theres only admin or no admin. And even Admins cant add gameversions because i decided to start from scratch before finishing the current admin interface I wish there would allready be a game admin that can add version numbers and handle abuse requests and such. But im willing to give away admin rights along with ticket system acc to trusted ppl. They can delete &feature mods and activate users. Hav9ing support req. off my back would help my a great deal.

All i can remember is that the ccc ip ranges where part of the ip ranges that where in some NSA monitoring list. If you visited them they got a plip

the club is hosting all its stuff on its own servers, ip range and i think even has its own AS number

Maybe because it has the word "Hacker" in it. In the US Hacker seems to be the same as terrorist...strange pople. Can you get it unblocked? The ccc is even consulted by the German Goverment <- Argument you can bring. There are always some ppl flying over the pond for that. But there arent any tickets left anyways. Would be nice to meet some people from this forum there.

Off Topic: Im getting ready for the largest Hacker Conference in Europe (And the largest Conference in Europe full stop) taking place in Hamburg, Germany at the end of this year: https://events.ccc.de/2016/11/22/hello-this-is-33c3-works-for-me/ Maybe some of you are there too. If not: All talks (and also past ones) will be posted here: https://media.ccc.de/

My feelings are simple: Please use Kerbalx for savegames/vessel files. Long statement: The owner of KerbalX and me had talks when SpaceDock started. We agreed uppon leaving vessel handeling to KerbalX and mods to SpaceDock. Neither Site is made for handeling the other sites job. Even those iterrations of Planetary systems (or flag packs for that matter) are on the border of what i would call "mod", but because KerbalX isnt the right place for those things either i accept them beeing on SpaceDock. For me a mod (and therfor somethign allowed on SpaceDock) is something the author needed to code for or at least make new 3d models (and corrosponding textures).

thank you. i know how it is to find spare time

it has to do with the image size. sadly the image is tiled depending on the the monitor width and the upload script doesnt show the final result. all you can do is play with sizes and go back and forth....until ive time to finish the next ver of the website....sorry.

Hi, i want to have some SpaceDock textiles. Head over to this Thread to vote on offering these to the public and to see my Design idear: SpaceDock Merchendize Thread
