This is what Kirtaner has been reduced to for hosting 420chan, what do you think purp?

Not quite a shed, but definitely grim. I'd give him advice, but I'd probably get banned. His mod team is cult like.

He should mount it away from the floor.

Well, you certainly don't need much more than that, but like >>27074 says, I would definitely get it up off the floor.

I guess it depends on what kind of content you're hosting, but I just don't see the sense in running your own server like that - it's more grief than its worth.

I want to be sympathetic but he's still buying takeout for two at least twice a day. The wife doesn't cook, doesn't work, doesn't code. Just bitches about him on IRC when he's out.

He has since put it on a table, I believe. Allegedly, his money trouble stems from his wife's proclivity for nose candy, but who knows. That is probably shitposting.

However, the fact purp told us once that hosting .gs is about the same as what he'd spend on lunch a day, you've got to wonder how he's found himself self-hosting from a fibre cable in his cellar again if it wasn't something like that, but I suppose it's his business. 420chan gets maybe twice as much traffic as we do, so he'll struggle to crowd source the money to get back in a datacentre, which feels a bit sad.

Realistically, you have to do one if you don't do the other. That doesn't sound like a healthy marriage.

They're planning to have kids without changing the dynamic too. God knows how they expect to afford that. Deliveroo baby formula every day?

You have to take into account that purp is one of them fancy city boys, isn't he. Lunch for him is probably a couple of hundred quid.

Besides, there were other projects like t-whatitsname.tv. I suspect those might add a fair share of load and traffic and prolly remain hosted somewhere else.

Also, what do you mean 'reduced', what happened to him?

His house burned down, because Spardot didn't change the batteries in the smoke alarms (she doesn't "do" manual labour), but he also quit his job previous to this because he was getting bullied and she refused to get a job so they would have had to move anyway and it resulted in him getting horsed out the data-centre for not paying his fees.

There is also a lot of stuff in his marriage that has surfaced since these problems began that seem like she is draining him dry. From what I can gather, she has a pretty heavy drug problem which he pays for. He is trying to crowd fund on patreon, but what they do at taima.tv is illegal so patreon will probably pull the page. It's also been pointed out that a significant % of that patreon money will probably go towards funding her habit.

Marrying someone who refuses to work and wont even cook or do housework seems like a massive self own, imho. So yeah, he's been brought low a bit as of late and it doesn't look good for the lad.

This is peak 'internet people'. Amazing. I thought this sort of situation died years ago.

I'm pretty sure that the fire in their block didn't originate in their apartment and while she does drink and smoke a lot, he does too and the money isn't going up her nose as you're suggesting. I don't know where you're getting your information from but it's not something I've seen any mention of anywhere else and it's very much something people would be making a fuss about if there was evidence of it.

I had thought it was a bit better than that. Why? No bloody idea, some sort of a projection maybe.
> wont even cook
Strange. I recall she was rather happy to have a large kitchen at their new location.
I freely admit I don't know much about the two though.

It's being discussed on /wooo/ right now, but the mods will probably banhammer it for disparaging the great leader's concubine eventually.

I find it strange when people know the minutiae of the lives of internet folk. Purps runs Britfa, I don't really care about what he does for a living, his personal life, his domestic set up and what he's having for tea tonight. That is, unless it's funny like moot at Google.

Yeah, it's hard not to absorb the minutiae if you lurk 420's IRC. Unlike ours, there really is an IRC cult there which infects the boards.

Regardless, this was more a "Having to run the site out your shedbasement is grim" thread than whatever caused that to happen. That's just context.

How much does running one of those boards affect the power consumption of your average domicile?

Worst-case will be a couple of hundred watts, adding about £250/yr to your electric bill. Given the fairly paltry traffic of most minor imageboards, you could probably do it on a tiny fraction of that if your software stack is halfway sensible. Modern server hardware is really fast and really efficient; it's possible to run a highly profitable SaaS business on a single CPU core.

That's a fair whack, but not massive if you're running a business I suppose. Still, that'll be another headache for him if he truly is skint.

I've tried to follow this back and forth today and it seems 4chan's /asp/ has been reporting his Patreon for community violations, not because he streams per se, but because they think he is scamming with the donations. Apparently, someone offered to invest and it was quickly deleted and buried and now in classic 4chan style it's a big deal.

Their thinking is that a mark wanting in on the con would interfere with the con, so it was shut down, but I think it was probably deleted for linking funding 420chan with funding taima.tv which would probably get him in trouble with Patreon and possibly WWE/UFC.

A few more interesting things will no doubt occur, but I'll leave the updates there. I hope he gets back on his feet and whatnot.

Spardot is a horrible, petty, cantankerous person. Looks fade but she'll be a bitch forever.

>>27077

Do you have any stats to back that up? Because from their front page:

>Current Users: 53,211
>Total Posts: 26,443,751
>Active Content: 47.8GB
>Posts made in the last 24 hours: 9,195

Honestly they're massive compared to us. We probably get 0.1% of their posts a day. (Assuming we get ~9 a day).

I'll play the devil's advocate here a bit. It is also pretty alright to be able to run it out your basement in a situation like his, when shit has hit the fan (let's indeed ignore what had led to such outcome for a while).

Kirtaner is lying out of his arse with that, genuinely. Open a tab on each board and just watch. Their busiest boards, by his own admission, are /wooo/ and /h/ and /wooo/ crawls and goes ages without a post at times. He is counting taima.tv hits into that data, he must be.
