  • Wow, quite the impressive hardware setup there!

    I rent a couple of virtual servers (including the one this is running on) from a few providers.

    I also host a couple of game servers on a Dedicated machine.

    Don’t have any physical hosting myself, don’t have the resources for such a thing!

    I used to self-host a few utilities like a cloud storage solution, link shortener, paste provider, image host etc. but got fed up of maintaining it all ha!

    Nowadays I just run a small number of game servers, and CompuVerse!







  • Hi, many thanks for the compliments! The bot is having a couple of problems atm which I’m trying to solve, so it’s not live at present. The downvote button being enabled / disabled is set by the home instance you are using. For example, the downvote button is enabled on my own compuverse.uk instance, however it appears Beehaw does not enable the downvote option, and thus you don’t have the option there.








  • Ah, most of my public stuff is indeed in Java, but I haven’t made any new projects in Java for quite a while now haha.

    Most of my projects have actually been in NodeJS until rather recently.

    As my introduction post states, I’m trying to learn Rust at the minute! So the bot is actually written in Rust!

    Unfortunately, not knowing a language leads itself to writing terrible, unreadable code that goes against all the conventions haha! Hence the horrendous state the bot is in right now :)

    I’ve temporarily taken the bot down whilst I rewrite it and make it more general and clean. I’m trying to make it more… modular :)

    I’ve just had an idea however, I could implement a system which would enable to bot to run an external command, parse in the output (likely JSON), and then treat it as posts to make, that would enable anyone to write a “provider” in any language they like, the main bot would just call that, and so long as they returned data in the right format, it’d just work.

    Something to think about for sure! 🤔






  • 👋 I’m Cameron, the Admin of the instance in question.

    It’s a very odd situation, I’m entirely new to this whole Fediverse thing myself, but, trying my best!

    I noticed in my log, literally just after @TopHat@compuverse.uk posted their comment, this popped up:

    I’m unsure as to exactly what this is referring to, as the comment was made from my instance, but it appears the instance believes it came from elsewhere?

    It’s very odd and I can’t really explain it I’m afraid.
