Domain name transfer is complete now.
-
@JohnDoe — I drew the original that @mmuyskens just linked to, which is free to use and CC licensed. The download on that page also includes a "grid" to create your own. The profile picture that I'm using is one of the (many) variations that were made before settling on the one currently used.
-
@glims discuss.biohack.me has redirected to the forum.biohack.me subdomain for awhile now. I removed it as part of the cleanup before moving servers, but if it's necessary @cyberlass will be able to add that back again.
-
@JohnDoe I haven't been involved since ~2011. I've only popped back in to delegate the ownership of the server to the community. Since 2010 this site has been on my own shared hosting, which has not been ideal as my ideas of how the site should be managed have diverged from a majority of the community.
-
Very glad to finally hand this off. I wish the best of luck to @BirdMachine and @cyberlass in taking the helm.
-
@Jordygordy: the sigil on the site is released under a CC license and can be downloaded here. http://biohack.me/sigil/

Yes, the downtime was much longer than I expected—my apologies.
-
There may be additional downtime in the next few days as the domain name will transfer ownership. I will post again when that process begins and again when it is resolved completely.
-
Server migration is now complete, and the site seems to be working fine in initial testing. If there are any serious issues (e.g. you cannot login), please contact a board admin.

Hi all—I'm the bottleneck to getting server access. I'm working on migrating everything off of my personal server to a server that can be owned by the community. Should be done today, but requires cleaning up a ton of cruft that just accumulated over the years. My goal is to hand over something that, while the software may…

Anything not already implemented from the list in the OP probably won't be, so I'm closing this discussion.
-
@AMNESIA any luck with the onion address?
-
Server upgrades are now deferred pending a resolution in funding the upgrade.
-
This thread has now long outlived it's usefulness as a coherent topic. If you've come here to post something, please instead look through all of the Magnets category to see if someone else has already asked the same thing (most likely: yes).
-
Thanks rodya. Every bit helps. Don't worry, pseudo-anonymity is just the default not a requirement. ;)
-
@AMNESIA Excellent, thank you.
-
Well, since it's a probabilistic estimate maybe we'll get lucky ;)
-
I have a couple of addresses generated with the "biohack" beginning. This actually took much less time than I was expecting. However, the goal would be to have an address which started with "biohackme", which may not be feasible.
-
It is possible to create an onion address with a specific set of characters at the beginning given enough time. Just to be clear: offering a the site as a TOR hidden service would be an parallel to a clear net domain. @AMNESIA: I think that I understand how this works, but I may be in touch when/if this goes forward for…

@jamcar23 We discussed this in regards to the privacy that some members might enjoy by moving behind a for hidden service. As mentioned above though, this has been shelved for the time being. We will be migrating to the Discourse software on the new server, which is a publicly developed software released under the GNU…
-
@IDPS Thank you, but ideally we'd like to move away from having a single person paying for the hosting so that site ownership can be more distributed.
-
The current monetary cost of running the site is effectively zero. It is running on a shared server which runs a few other sites that I maintain. Also, the current labor cost of the site is close to zero. There have only been a few minor updates to the server software during the life of the site. While no updates isn't a…
-
@IDPS At this point we're deferring building or deploying a lot of new code on the site until the forum is migrated. Ideally we'd be able to use the forum software as a nexus for other services on the site, but we'd have to invest a significant amount of resources into building and maintaining that kind of system. I'd like…
-
@IDPS Yes that is on the radar but will only be done when we migrate servers.

Hello Dashi. Welcome to Biohack.me. Can you please edit the title of your thread to summarize the topic you are discussing?
-
publish.biohack.me was put on ice since there wasn't a sufficient interest in the community at the time (hence the old color scheme). If there is a proposal on the table for relaunching that part of the site I would entertain it and could set something up. This would have to be for publishing original work, and not…

Sorry, Cassox. I'm going to close this thread in order to keep contexts in the correct place(s). Can you please address these questions to the particular thread that they were discussed before, or in a direct message to the user that you are following up with?

@John Sorry for the late response. Seems good to me.

John, your image seems to be broken. What "tab" do you mean? In your web browser? Are you referring to a favicon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon), or the larger icon that sometimes is used in RSS readers or on the iOS home screen?
