Random Chitchat 2012-2016

I looked up the bug report and remembered the details. gcc builds work, and clang ones don't. As soon as I switched to gcc for the profile builds, everything worked.

One question, for the ones who pay for vps.
Do you know some 1$/month hosting, does it exist any?
Haphost suspended my free one with no reason and I have almost no money to spend on one. If there was a 128mb/256mb cheap one with a decent quality one it would be good.

Can we get a template engine for the project? I can't face writing 20 almost identical Broadcast functions, when I know I'm going to have to change them in a few weeks.

Isn't the build process complicated enough as it is?

You can get some good ones from OVH http://www.ovh.co.uk/vps/vps-classic.xml

But they might be a bit over your price range.

RamNode does some good ones too: if you get an OpenVZ SSD-Cached it only costs $1.25 a month and you get 128mb + 64mb vswap

I've used Ramnode for a few years and the support is really good, plus you get a load of storage and a great network.

@xoft Maybe, but we already have tolua, and a template engine wouldn't add much complexity over tolua. And having 20 almost identical method bodies makes it really difficult to refactor those methods.

I personally feel the increase in complexity is worth it.

@worktycho How about platform independence? Be especially wary of Windows, there's no perl there, no php, no nothing by default. And I'd hate to have those as preconditions to compilation.

That's why I want a pure lua one.

My preferred option would of been to require perl, but I know that not really feasible for windows.

Thanks bearbin, the ramnode one is really cheap, but its worse than my old free one (128mb/256mb swap), it wouldnt run MCServer well.
Anyway, OVH seems good, but I have to search for UK-USD dollar change cause my limit is 2.50$

There's a US site for OVH.

http://www.ovh.ie/vps/
https://www.ovh.com/us/vps/

One of those should let you use it, and it's slightly cheaper as there's no VAT.
