oh christ it's from when i had open talk pages and they got spammed to shit & its stored thousands of revisions of megabytes of fucking spam in the database
was looking into how much free space i have on my VPS before i do all this & found that i'm using like half the 40GB available
and of that like 4GB was /var/log/journal so i configured it to use max 100MB because i never checked those logs in my life?
another 4GB ibdata1 in mysql which .......apparently is mostly accounted for by my notes wiki db WHY there's barely shit in there
Okay I got too into all this and it has become 2:30am whoops
Made pretty good progress though. I had a big list of todos and problems and questions from last time & I've got through all of them except for some PHP extensions I still need to install
Then if that all works I can try it on the actual server.....
doing a bit of housekeeping on the existing code first. like trying to get rid of php short open tags. i used to use those a lot
can't actually be bothered but i was thinking about maybe doing something new on there & i don't want to be held back by the old sites running on old versions of things on the same server
All of them are secretly Family Pocket products because they still make the best weird stuff
Although the stock 365 in 1 menu is unchangeable it has the Secret Feature of being able to load custom roms from another SD card, it can do NES mapper 0+4 and certain VTxx BIN files, max 1MB
Which means I can load up another console's menu on it
