Posted by: Mike Richardson on 2009-01-19 12:46:33That seems like a poor reason. I'm sure there's holes in Hotline and KDX that simply haven't been discovered due to their relative obscurity.@netfreak: Any way for an FTP?Sorry, one of my early linux machines was hacked back in 1999/2000 due to FTP and I have not run it since. | |
Posted by: netfreak on 2009-01-19 19:40:00I had a buffer overflow in wu-ftpd. Root access, box starting port scanning and got canned by my ISP. FTP serves no purpose for me.That seems like a poor reason. I'm sure there's holes in Hotline and KDX that simply haven't been discovered due to their relative obscurity.@netfreak: Any way for an FTP?Sorry, one of my early linux machines was hacked back in 1999/2000 due to FTP and I have not run it since. Regarding the original question, I may consider some other protocols for the text archive but all of the antique software and whatnot I want to keep on Hotline/KDX only so I can keep an eye on who accesses it. | |
| Posted by: benjgvps on 2009-01-19 20:56:45 Yay! A Blazing 40 KB/s! MUCH better than the other KDX server! | |
Posted by: netfreak on 2009-01-19 22:11:48Yay! A Blazing 40 KB/s! MUCH better than the other KDX server!Hotline per user limit is 40k/sec. Global limit on the KDX server is 250k/sec. I might adjust it at some point but I'm not a fan of some of the auto downloaders on the Hotline protocol. | |
Posted by: Blessed Cheesemaker on 2009-01-20 05:11:24Apparently I am arriving in the middle of a long conversation. Are "we" back up? Could somebody PM me the details? I picked up an old LC from ebay, and it had some interesting old MIDI software that runs in system 6.0.7. I thought others might be interested...Yay! A Blazing 40 KB/s!

| Posted by: sambapati87 on 2009-06-23 08:06:00 I came late to this thread and didn't have time to read it all, but the preterhuman.net hotline server is a goldmine. | |
Posted by: Ebbi on 2009-06-24 04:02:24I came late to this thread and didn't have time to read it all, but the preterhuman.net hotline server is a goldmine.That's right, but Hotline definitely sucks. | |
| Posted by: sambapati87 on 2009-06-24 05:53:41 I'm finding that out. Why do my downloads start at 50-70k/s but steadily dwindle down to 2k/s after a few minutes? | |
Posted by: joshc on 2009-06-24 07:03:25I'm finding that out. Why do my downloads start at 50-70k/s but steadily dwindle down to 2k/s after a few minutes?This also happens on the KDX server. The download speed quickly increases to 200 kb/s, the specified limit. It then drops gradually to below 10 kb/s. :-/ | |
Posted by: Dog Cow on 2009-06-24 15:41:22I'm finding that out. Why do my downloads start at 50-70k/s but steadily dwindle down to 2k/s after a few minutes?Because the server is likely inside of someone's house. | |
Posted by: netfreak on 2009-07-23 11:28:02The speed of the Hotline/KDX is impacted by the surges of web traffic my server gets. I'm constantly hitting my maximum bandwidth as I am on a budget connection with a Cogent upstream. Since I make little to no money running it, I can't afford the connection it really needs.I'm finding that out. Why do my downloads start at 50-70k/s but steadily dwindle down to 2k/s after a few minutes?Because the server is likely inside of someone's house. And no, it is not in my house. Here is a picture:  | |
Posted by: System7 on 2009-07-25 08:15:13So the server is in the red circle, or is it THE red circle?The speed of the Hotline/KDX is impacted by the surges of web traffic my server gets.

| Posted by: joshc on 2009-07-25 10:06:02 I think the answer to that question is rather obvious. Anyway, some good news. I emailed netfreak and probably next month I'll be sending him a hard drive, which he will copy the 'downloads' folder to from the server, and then that hard drive will be sent back to me. Yes, long live preterhuman! :b&w: | |

Posted by: joshc on 2009-07-25 13:53:17*possibly*. But do remember that Mac Hut is limited to 30 KB/s total for all connected users, so it won't be that amazing. 😉I think the answer to that question is rather obvious. Anyway, some good news.

| Posted by: LCGuy on 2009-07-25 16:01:39 It'll still be amazing for those of us whose only access to high speed internet doesn't include access to non-HTTP protocols. 😉 | |
| Posted by: Mike Richardson on 2009-07-25 16:49:13 My internet connection at the apartment has a 1.5 Mbps upload (192 KB/sec). If I had some kind of bootstrap of files I would be willing to host a server. Maybe I'll even make a project of it - I've got a Quadra 950 doing nothing right now, and it's got a RAID of 4x9 GB SCSI drives, on a SCSI card. I can pop a bunch of RAM in there and have a rockin' 68K Hotline server. | |
| Posted by: netfreak on 2009-07-25 22:17:00 yep, i might get the mirroring set up even sooner than I thought. I gotta skip a day of work pretty soon for some appointments so I'd have time to grab the hard drive from the datacenter, mirror it at home, then return it (long story, can't do the mirror at the datacenter). in regards to that picture, the datacenter is in that building obviously haha | |
Posted by: Dog Cow on 2009-07-26 12:58:20in regards to that picture, the datacenter is in that building obviously hahaReally? I couldn't find any indication that Always On systems involves itself in anything other than UPS devices. | |
Posted by: netfreak on 2009-07-26 14:09:44Correct. It was easier putting the picture up on the web server at work. The datacenter is Racksterin regards to that picture, the datacenter is in that building obviously hahaReally?
