State of BosaikNet Services -- August 2024

Post by BosaikNet »

It's been a while since we've done one of these. A fair bit has changed (again), mostly on the backend.
  • Server: We're now on GameServer-5 as of 15 April 2024, so we have a lot more performance on hand. It is also cheaper for us to run, so everyone can be happy.
  • Minecraft: Performance is still an issue despite new hardware. Dynmap is no longer with us, and a few old worlds loaded in with Multiverse have been unloaded. After dealing with some power management issues, we've brought the tickrate back to 20 tps with significant headroom (20-40ms per tick).
  • Unreal Tournament 2004: We're slowly doing work to get the redirect hosted by PWC-Gaming.
  • Unreal Tournament 2003: UT2003 should be running again, but the config is very vanilla and we don't know what the people want.
  • Garry's Mod: We still distribute our own addon package privately, but this addon package has been stable for quite some time now. Aircraft have moved from LFS to LVS completely.
  • Team Fortress 2: No change.
  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive: The auto-update backend no longer updates the CS:GO server due to disuse.
  • IRC: IRC services are down; Anope introduced a huge series of breaking changes to their config structure without adequately documenting the changes nor providing migration tools. It's really annoying, and will involve lots of manual labor. IRC is still running in the meantime.
  • ZNC: The members ZNC is no longer with us because it's never worked correctly. The administrators' private ZNC is unchanged.
  • Forums: We've moved the backend to newer software. To you, the user, there should be no difference other than the website actually loading.
