New server: away from Kolab

Fri, 07 Jun 2019 23:47:42 +0000

Yesterday I finally flipped the switch on the MX record and moved to a new server (still aptly named after another character from アキハバラ電脳組). The machine was found through Hetzner’s server auctions and has quite a good configuration for the price paid:

Intel Xeon CPU E31245 @ 3.30GHz
16G ECC RAM (ECC was the deciding factor)
LSI Hardware RAID 1 with two 3x2T disks

Now, since the old server has been chugging along since 2011, the 5 eurocent question is why did you move at all? It turns out there were a pretty good number of reasons (to me, at least).

Hack of the day: extracting comments from Nicovideo

A while ago I posted a way to download 実況動画 from Nicovideo. One of my acquaintances publishes videos there, and he wanted to collect the various comments to reply in a follow up video (what the Nico users call the コメント返し). When the comments are more than just a few, it’s hard to find where they refer to without watching them on Nicovideo itself, and its UI is suboptimal. Ideally one would check comments ordered by their position in the video. There are existing programs but their user interface is utterly confusing at best. This called for something simpler, and that’s what I tried to do.

実況? Is it something edible?

In recent times, I’ve been watching a lot of VOICEROID実況 (じっきょう, jikkyou, literally “commentary”) videos from the rather famous (in Japan) video service ニコニコ動画, better known as “Nicovideo”. In this case, the commentary actually refers to games: they’re basically a Japanese version of the Let’s Play videos that are all around other places like YouTube.
