• MRC CHAT Status

    From nristen@21:1/161 to All on Friday, December 17, 2021 23:54:01
    I just discovered that The Search BBS was down for few days due to payment issue for the VPS it is running on. That has been resolved now.

    When I logged in I noticed that the MRC Chat connection is timing out. I logged into Bottomless Abyss and noticed that the MRC Chat there was Offline
    as well.

    Does anyone know anything further?

    No, but welcome back and that explains some of the backing up of files which you should now have :)

    Thanks, Avon. I hope you and your family are doing well. I will never
    forget that time several years ago when you helped me set Mystic up on FSXNet.

    Anyway, today I noticed that MRC Chat was connected and working again.

    Thanks again.

    Hey Karl :)

    Hey that's all good and I'm glad I could help you when you needed it. Yeah family is doing OK for the most part. I have a 21 year old son looking for a place to live at the moment. The housing supply is tight here and lots of competition for places for rent. He want to flat with 2 others so they are looking for a 3 bedroom home but it sounds like so is everyone else with 30-40 interested groups coming along to the public viewing sessions run by property management folks who administer the properties on behalf of landlords. It sounds a proper stressful time for him :(

    That said if he needs to he could always move in here at home for a time but it's fair to say he does not want to and fair enough I guess.

    Best wishes to you and the family for Christmas.

    Best, Paul

    That sounds as nutty as the housing market here, which Covid tipped over the edge. Rentals have always been tight, and I'll be glad to get out of the rental market. As for buying, houses here are known to sell in hours at or above the asking price, and when land goes on the market, people swarm like seagulls on a chip. And the prices are rising dramatically. Our land has already increased by at least 50% in the past year or so (good thing we bought when we did!), and the value of the house is going to be well in excess of $500k, possibly $600k, by the time it's finished. We've already dodged a lot of the price rises with the timing of signing of contracts, etc. Now it's all go for the build to start in January, after the Christmas break.

    A lot of people have gone for a treechange, once covid made them realise that working from home was a possibility, and they could avoid the worst of lockdowns and disease transmission as a bonus.

    Yeah the MRC server went down for the first time in like 3 years, right in the middle of a meatup too lol. It was a networking issue with the hosting provider apparently.

    I had set up a backup one so that people could still chat on MRC, until the main server came back up, which it did after around 3 hours or so.

    StackFault is, from my understanding, creating HA MRC servers for the new version so this would be a non-issue once the new version is ready.

    Hope this helps

    Over here we're reading about stories of bad developers who pull out using a sun set clause just to ensure they make more money on from another buyer... the recommendation is to ensure such a clause is not in new contracts to protect buyers.

    Well, the developer is done and dusted, we own the land outright. And the house is being built by a very reputable company.
