Rekonq and Midori have been added.

are any text-based browsers supported?

I've setup a testswarm site for the testing of various JavaScript projects that I've been working on

So no.

You don't care about midori? :'(

I could add it as soon as I get server access again
It is webkit based though, so google chrome test should be near what it is.

Crysis in Javascript???

Shhhh! Don't give away the suprise! j/k
No nothing that elaborate.

I'll try them if I get some time later probably. I am curious about what you got there

Well you wont see much, It's just some automated tests that run to make sure that the projects work across multiple browsers.

Anybody has troubles loading pages tonight? I thought this was due to slow CloudFlare caching but then I saw the execution time at bottom of pages be pretty high, which means it's on Amazon side (since I think that CloudFlare only cache copies of the site pages, not the server-side code nor the database).

I wonder if something on the server might be causing troubles (eg something freezing, too much RAM usage or higher than normal traffic) and if it might be worth looking into in case it persists?
/?
Also the post notifying bot died

Cloudflare caching would not cause slowdown at all. If anything it increases the speed of page loading.
I just checked the server, there is no unusual load or anything on it.

I thought that the post notifier wasn't on omni's servers anymore?

1) I was wondering if this is directly caused by the "major Omnimaga upgrade" mentionned a few times before on IRC by Qwerty since last Summer? If so, then disregard all questions below because this update is most likely requiring a crapload of work and taking a long time (assuming of course it's still active).

The major upgrade will take a lot of work, and the few of us who are working on it don't really have time to do much on it atm due to work.

2) Is it due to school/work? If so, then are there any future plans to renew the team if any manager are ever forced to permanently stay inactive like last year's successful staff restructure? (So that in 1-2 years the site doesn't head the same path as United-TI did a few years ago due to staff shortage)

We already have a large staff-base. I don't think we need to be worrying about that yet.

3) Is 57o9 shutdown preventing certain admins from visiting Omnimaga and IRC (via ZNC shells and stuff)? Sadly, I don't think that host is coming back.

It's keeping me from idling on irc at work. Although it's unlikely that I'd actually look at irc much due to how busy I am usually at work.

4) Has some of the admins just decided to move on silently or has something really bad happened in their respective lives? I hope the latter isn't the case (especially not like JustCause) and it's their choice if they decide to move on, but if any of them are directly involved in paying the hosting/domain name bills and keeping the site online, then I think it would be important for the other admins to beg for the FTP, hosting bill payments, domain names and hosting account login information so that you can take over and make sure the site remains safe (see what happened to Revsoft in 2011).

From what I can tell we are all still here to some degree or another. Also, almost all of us have access to the billing etc. I don't think that that will be an issue unless we all drop off the face of the earth at the exact same time.

5) Can members and staff like myself still help financially? I made over $200 in music sales in less than 1 year (most of which came from A Decade of Magic Hardcore) and can help besides just music sales, but first I need to be sure that there is still somebody behind the Netham45 name that is monitoring the PayPal donations address and the hosting bills on a regular basis. Huh?

Netham is still monitoring the donations. He for the most part is paying for the server himself. Believe me, he will notice if you donate. The VPS bill is for more then just Omnimaga, so I doubt he'd not pay it without warning.

That too, but you should be able to manually refresh too ;p

But why does windows hosting still exist then?

There are a lot of windows only services that run out there. Also many companies only trust windows for some strange reason.
