James can and will be taking some money out of my account to help with this, i neither know nor care how much it will be.  One of the reasons he has a lot of resources is he has access to all of my money and I trust him implicitly.

Funny note: The access isn't anything legal, like joint account. He just knows my account numbers and is my twin. Hahaha.

Actually I was going to do this totally with my money, if you want to help too that is nice, though and gives us more funds!

So, it is my hope to run Outer Heaven on the dedicated server.

I don't know how much of a load it'll place on the CPU, but it will just be streaming the video, since I'll transcode it on my own machine. Memory requirements are similarly modest. These will probably scale up with the video bitrate, which I intend to keep low. I can take up as much hard drive space as you'll give me, but I don't think I'd want to attempt it with less than two gigabytes. Bandwidth is the big limiting factor. Depending on the number of viewers, even Outer Heaven quality streams can add up.

In order to run it, I'll need a user account on the server and shell access. I don't think I'll need higher privileges than the baseline to just run the streaming program, but I might need an administrator to install things for me.

How much would you need from me for this?

First tell me what streaming solution you're using.  The dedicated server question seems more of a "when" and "how" than an "if" at this point, but you may still be waiting a while yet, depending on how things shake out.

Right now we're still with Livestream, which is unreliable for viewers. On the dedicated server I hope to use Icecast, which is basically an improved version of the Shoutcast that Outer Heaven was on back in the day. I've worked with Icecast in the past.

Our new home has been ordered and is being constructed by a team of tiny builders as we speak.

Doozer Yes we can

Server was finished this morning, but of course I can't do anything right now because I'm at work.  Also I'm pretty busy tonight and will be pretty busy tomorrow night too.

But hey, we sure do have a server!

Judging by what happened to the Minecraft test world, yes, basically.

So you know how for the last three months or so I've been complaining that jailed shells were too damn complicated to set up?

Turns out they're not, at all.  The main trick is to completely ignore every single resource on the topic that's publicly available, because Linux gurus are mostly just a bunch of over-engineering jackasses.  What else is new.

Anyway once I've sussed out a good clean way to set up lots of little virtual filesystems for you guys we should be able to do a lot more with this bitch, like start handing out webspaces and get some other admins to take care of all the busywork involved with the Minecraft/TF2/Outer Heaven stuff.  By the beginning of next year we should have some accounts set up and you guys can stop asking me HEY BRENTAI IF YOU HATE ADMINNING <x> SO MUCH WHY DON'T YOU LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT DERP DERP.

I threw money at the server early for January so that I wouldn't forget during the holidays, so if you see a high balance on the account, that is why.

I'd suggest smiler. Or me, and I can just ask smiler what to do.
