2019-03-09 at 11:01 PM UTC in I know it's basicHere's my current set up for my personal website (with essentially nothing up there yet, but I'm gradually going to be uploading various projects there over the next few weeks):
The URL is http://www.darrenmackenzie.com (or http://darrenmackenzie.com - both route to the same host).
I'm still working on properly configuring SSL certificates. AWS has a whole Certificate Manager service, and I think I somehow had it working at one point, but then fucked it up somehow later.
I actually registered the domain name with Google Domains for some reason (I was drunk and impatient and just grabbed it when I saw it was available, and didn't really think to register it on AWS where I host literally everything else online).
Then, I had to configure AWS Route 53 (a service for DNS routing). This part was actually suprisingly complicated (to me, at least). I thought it would be as simple as: 1. register a domain name, 2. somehow pair domain name to a live endpoint (such as the IP address or hostname for a physical machine hosting a web server, or a virtual machine hosting a web server). But, it turns out you have to actually specify the Name Server (the server that simply hosts the domain name), as well as the Canonical Name (CNAME), and set up TTL (timeout) settings, etc.
For virtual computing, I use AWS Elastic Beanstalk. It's basically a variable set of EC2 virtual machine instances that comes with load balancing features and automatic scaling options. It's actually pretty useful if you plan on hosting anything on the web that you expect any traffic towards.
On my Elastic Beanstalk virtual computers I host a simple Flask server that serves up template-based pages. The content that fills these templates at this current time are simply hosted on the same virtual machine as the Flask server (in subdirectories). This is, nowadays, pretty much an anti-pattern. I do plan on hosting all kinds of content/data on either AWS RDS (their relational database service), or MAYBE via a separated PostgreSQL service, and maybe even some data on a graph-based database service (Neo4J is pretty decent, and I have played around with it, but AWS, of course, has their own graph DB service - they have just about everything one could need, really).
There are so many different ways one can vary how they deploy, host, and scale their websites / web applications. Currently, that's how mine is set up. -

Originally posted by We'reAllBrownNosers contribute any kind of useful technical information to a site similar to totse.
All the paranoid conspiracy theories aside, I do agree that this site has become somewhat far removed from what Totse once was in it's heyday.
I actually don't mind the DH crowd. It's not them that annoy me. It's more the HB-style posters posting HB-style stuff everywhere.
HB is fun for a bit of silliness and all, but Totse used to have serious discussions in it's subforums.
The problem is that we just need more serious posters, and enough traffic to warrant moderators for subforums so that Lanny can delegate some of the keeping-things-on-topic work. -

There's a difference between a little bit of occasional back and forth, and straight up stalking.
I've never seen what you do as stalking, at least not towards me.
Not that I'm trying to recommend that you start or anything. -
2019-03-09 at 9:07 PM UTC in I could beat the shit out of GadzooksAnd Captain Falcon is hardly a notable individual.
He's just been around long enough that his username has become a household name through sheer repetition and familiarity.
I don't even know what he's even known for? The only reasons he ever registered on my radar was because Scron/Ghost found him notable enough to make a parody account to make fun of him, and, for whatever reason the ol' Captain has had a hard-on for me the past little while.
Other than that, a complete nobody as far as I can tell. -
2019-03-09 at 9:04 PM UTC in I could beat the shit out of GadzooksI have only two stalkers on this site:
1. WellHung.
2. Captain Falcon.
Of the two, I find WellHung a tad more tolerable and entertaining.
Captain Falcon just wants my cock so bad that it's kind of off-putting. -

Originally posted by WellHung Gadzooks, you were intelligent enough to make sure to do plenty of downers during your crack comedown. Why you would waste your money on crack, when you can do meth, is beyond me, however…
Crack, while more expensive, is objectively better than meth.
Meth "feels good" / gives you euphoria.
Quality crack is directly equivalent to heaven on Earth. -
