Moebooru Update

I haven’t been able to work on Moebooru for most of this month but I got to work on it this weekend. At ~30 changes, it went from -alpha to -beta.2 after receiving good amount of tests.

Summary of changes (more or less):

  • Most instances of RAILS_ENV and RAILS_ROOT have been replaced with newer Rails.env/Rails.root
  • Better Javascript handling in Development mode by moving cached Javascript from application.js to cached/all.js
  • Removed AssetCache modification library
  • Replaced HTML5Sanitizer’s html5sanitize with Rails’ built-in sanitize (because the former doesn’t work in 1.9)
  • Fixed Note Editor’s “History” button
  • Fixed Comment page’s pagination
  • Fixed Tag Relation search function
  • Updated “hack” for UTF-8 handling in Rails 2.3 with Ruby 1.9
  • Merged updates from moe branch (the one currently used in yande.re)
  • Reverted change which put class definition in <html> tag as it currently required by Javascript

Moebooru rebased

Since I forgot to branch the original source, the branching looked awesomely crappy. Therefore I decided to rebase entire thing to ease up keeping track with Moebooru “mainline”. All my commits are now in branch “default”. If you didn’t do any change, backout up to revision 9174b6b5b02d and then pull again. And then, don’t ever touch moe branch again anymore.

Server changes, etc

Apparently now this blog is blazing fast. I’m not sure why but I sure can feel the difference.

I’ve done lots of changes on this site so I’m not sure which one did the trick most:

  • Not using WordPress Multisite
  • Moved to 64-bit OS
  • gzip-ed everything (er, most things)
  • Used MySQL 5.5

Yeah, those are the changes. Also this site moved to all my four VPS’. Last (this) one is in Hostigation. Hopefully the won’t have the network problem like the one occurred sometime last month anymore. I enabled collectd with ping plugin so I’ll have concrete data on what’s happened next time there’s network problem.

…and as it turns out, I set the expiration overly aggressive resulting in caching even the main page. Epic fail on my side.

Love, Election, and Chocolate gets anime adaptation

Koi to senkyo to chocolate, an eroge from sprite just announced to get anime adaptation.

From ANN:

The January issue of ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki G’s Magazine is announcing a 2012 television anime adaptation of sprite/fairys’ Love, Election, & Chocolate (Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate) adult game on Wednesday. The 2010 Windows game follows the protagonist at a “mega academy” with over 6,000 students. To save his cooking club from being abolished, the protagonist agrees to run for student body president.

The art was good and as usual I have no idea what the story is about :D

And again, as usual, I need to prepare for art quality degradation compared to original art. At least I’m not a big fan of Akinashi Yuu (and Koichoco being the only eroge art he/she ever done) though it’ll still be sad seeing it degrades.

No information on animation studio or pretty much everything else.

Yet another server move

Three months have (almost) passed, which means the contract for webhost I use almost runs out. Luckily I discovered this cheap VPS (thanks to LowEndBox) which accepts bank transfer as payment method.

Installed lots of things I did, and here I moved this blog. Powered by FreeBSD (woohoo), nginx and php-fpm. The RAM is a little bit small (256 MB) which means this site probably not as responsive as it used to be. Or maybe not. Tell me if you noticed any slowdowns!

Or maybe I should have chosen that Xen HVM option…

On other note, the DNS is provided by Free DNS. They’re so awesome, you should try it if you need managed (and redundant) DNS with IPv6 and DDNS support.

Another address change

Well, looks like I can’t keep it consistent. Hopefully this one is the last one. Now animeBSD, the epic random something which resembles blog, got another address:

animebsd.net

The main reason is I want to only take care of one blog. Well, there was only two (old one and previous one) but actually I planned to split the previous one to several blog by using WordPress multisite feature.

After several months though, it turns out using multisite is just like slowly killing yourself with poison. It’s useful for creating blog with many users but for one-man blog, it’s the worst thing to manage. Not to mention the ugly htaccess involved.

In the end, I decided it’s not worth the effort to split site. So here it is, united under one name again (no more Network.myconan!) and everything will be here. Including my posts at wordpress.com thanks to the cool WP Importer tool provided.

The import process wasn’t smooth for posts at blog.myconan.net and there’re crapload of broken links. I’ll fix them as soon as I can™. Until then, update your bookmarks!

Oh and I’ll use myconan.net for some other purposes. Mostly private thing and IPv6 thingy. static.myconan.net will still intact though and not going to be removed.

Update: added redirection on blog.myconan.net to ease handling of migration. Most images should be up again now.

Update 2: I just realized I lost all the tags. DERP.

Let’s move

And I r too lazy to move old posts.

Update 2010/03/10: updated link.

(2011-02-07): Update for one last time.

How to release animu in HD

Why HD?

  • More guaranteed downloads
  • Better than anyone else

How?

In your AviSynth script (hey, I can safely assume that you use AviSynth, right?), just add this ULTIMATE HD MAGIC at the last line:

BicubicResize(1920,1080)

To increase the quality even more, don’t forget to add this:

AWarpSharp()
Deen()
HQDN3D()
UnDot()
UnFilter(10,10)
FastLineDarken()
AAA()
etc etc

After the ULTIMATE HD MAGIC. It increases overall video quality by OVER9000 percent and adds MORE DETAILS the the video.

And after muxing, don’t forget to include resolution information in the filename. Either:

[Your-Group] Sum Popular Oversubbed Animu With Subtitle From Sum Other Group - 9999 (1920x1080) [CRC].ext

or

[Your-Group] Sum Popular Oversubbed Animu With Subtitle From Sum Other Group - 9999 [FHD][CRC].ext

It’ll give you GUARANTEED downloads.

Add the translation source’s group name after your group name (ex: [YourGroup-SauceGroup]) to increase the download count even more.
