Redesigning Servercooties.io.... What do *you* want in the new version?
-
so many of us use https://servercooties.io/ to track the various outages of this site.
well if you've looked on github you know the code behind that site is shite, and i want to fix that.... so i'm redesigning it. what do you want to see in the new version?
Current plans:
- Historical graphs
- Better detection of cooties
- Better notifications of cooties status
- Announce to the IRC channel when things change
- Beg @ben_lubar for access to (anonymized?) nginx logs for automated historical scraping of cooties data
- Code @accalia would actually be proud of
- design @accalia wouls actualyt be proud of
- Konami code easter egg
-
- Extend history view to cover the same time period as the graph
-
Also, I am planning to create an app, for Android at the very least, though the core will be portable to pretty much anything (including toasters, fridges, and coffeemakers).
So, if you have any particular whishes/suggestions for that I'm also listening. Posting here since potential features may affect any APIs on the main site.
-
@Onyx I want an app to automatically start brewing tea when the forums go down, so I have some stress relief :)
-
@Yamikuronue I'm sure we can compile it for your smartkettle ;)

tell you what. i'll do that if you'll let me analyze the nginx logs automatically.

Forums stable enough that you don't need to track their stability like that.

the only one i know that fits that bill is PHPBB, and that one's not webscale.
also i don't have power over that decision, btu i can make the tracking site more awesome.

if you do that, give it a way to turn it off from the channel, nodeBB has a tendency to be bouncy, and it will cause the bot to spam a lot.
also, if you want, remind me to send you jarryBot's code, it's not great, but it's a start

i'd have it debounce the announcements, with flood protection.
and yes it would have a mechanism to /part the channel on command (it would come back on its own eventually, in half an hour or so unless requested sooner)

Does your kettle support HTCPCP? If so,
BREW
with aContent-Type: application/coffee-pot-command
header should do the trick.

@blakeyrat I'm sure we can work the red boob in, somehow.

Can I get an RSS-Feed about the birthdays of the contributors? I only find out about them when the forum goes down. Which - to be fair - is often enough to at least congratulate @Yamikuronue but still not consistent enough!

@accalia Include a stable forum in it, so when NodeBB crash we can use it to comfort each-other

The "hey, the forum is down" message for birthdays comes up on page load, not when the forum is actually down.

I assume he means he only checks when he's already found he can't reach the forum.

@boomzilla I can move the nodebb-plugin-youtube-lite submodule to point to your fork. Should I?

Or, implement the adaptive numbness thing, like how Windows is supposed to delay turning off the screen if you repeatedly wake it right back up soon after it turns off.

I'd be happier if someone else tested it a bit before we did that. I mean...I think it's ready, but no one can be relied on to test their own work.
I was going to make a post about it, but will probably wait until the morning. I think it's probably fine for here, where we have your html cleaner installed, but it needs some extra fixes in case someone without that wants to use the plugin.

I will pay for this out of my own pocket. I will pay extra if it also ties in to a shock collar that @ben_lubar wears.
I will pay massively extra if @blakeyrat also gets a shock collar that jolts the fuck out of him every time he bitches about trivial shit that he could easily work around or complains about a lack of testing.

No, the result of posting while very distracted. (Summary: Malwarebytes is very good, and I wish I hadn't needed to find that out. Family… )

I'll have to look into that specifically since that part has to be in Java. Also, notifications, as I mentioned. Should be doable and is something I definitely want to do.
Worst case scenario there will be a persistent notification with a changing icon available.
Which reminds me, since we'll redesign the API I might as well get that browser extension resubmitted once that's done... It was being rejected due to socket.io stuff.

Ah, OK. I've only ever done Android-NDK, so I'm not sure if I'd be any help. But I'd be happy assist with testing if necessary.
