So, after a long time in maintenance mode, def4 will go back online. the number of groups will be reduced to the rocksolid hierarchy, because there was a performance issue related to the web frontend and the monitoring of too many groups.
the code of def4 is in bash, which limits scalabilty a lot. at the same time, def4 is the only node not running something php based, so in case of a critical bug in php it would be the only one staying online. so I will leave it running, very basic but also very reliable for the same reason. if and when hugbunter releases the code for dread, i will check again, the surface is just dead nice.

cheers

Woo hoo, trw!
My favorite node for RockSolid updates is back!

On the other hand, RSLight's overboard thingie is quite nice too. It's interesting to see how much has changed around here. Everything is dark now too!

has the bash sourceCode been published somewhere? must be very simple to deploy.

maybe manage the sources with a bash package manager. everything bash-only! like Linux v.0.0.1 !

awesome simplicity.

It has been published, and it is very simple to deploy indeed. It is just that bash is the wrong tool for the job for different reasons and therefore the code is not updated anymore, and I am hesitant to publish the current version, because it is not really nice code.
I can upload it somewhere if you really want to see it. Note that bbs (the name of this program) can only run on the same server as the newsserver, because it takes the messages directly from newsspool and also the posting works only locally.
Really consider rslight or fudforum, both can run without local news server, and are more mature than bbs,

cheers
