It's good to mirror/archive such information so it won't get lost over time. I'm glad that the owner of grass thread is still alive and doesn't seem to lose interest in VK.

Messages from the owner from the new URL. It seems they can't access the site and want to build grass thread from scratch. http://www22.big.jp/~yunisan/ And an incomplete site is up. http://www22.big.jp/~yunisan/vi/dic.html

Let me assume from what it looks like. The issue behind grass thread going down beside the server rent is that it's on a shared host and the hosting provider has upgraded PHP to version 7 according to the headers which is not compatible with the WordPress version grass thread has been using. This explains why only static HTML pages are still working while HTML generated ones get an HTTP 500 error. At this rate grass thread may never come back at least on the same URL unless either the hosting provider allows them to choose a working older version of PHP or they upgrade WordPress to a recent version. If it's the latter, there could also be other issues that could break the site due to the gaps between versions.

it's back partially. only static html pages are accessible for now. i assume the owner has already paid for the rent but the web server config is still wrong. https://www22.big.or.jp/~yunisan/vi/x.html

Well, I have it up in the link below. There was an issue regarding encoding being in both UTF-8 and Shift-JIS, but I got it fixed by configuring nginx to respect the original character set of each html file. If you encounter a 404 not found page, it means the page doesn't exist to begin with because my backup is incomplete but most of the artist pages should be available. https://yunisan.boxjapan.com/

IMO, this is not the first time it happened. IIRC, grassthread wasn't accessible several years before due to the owner not paying the server rent I supposed. So I hope this time it's the same issue, and I will make sure to make a backup of the entire site again because the backup I made years ago still misses some certain pages. If not, at least I still have a backup of the incomplete site.

Experimenting with airsonic, another self-hosted music streaming server.

How did you get access to their unlised video?

I've built a DIY music streaming server using Koel+Docker, a web-based music player. It's a very neat app. I have a server with a gigabit port and several TB monthly bandwidth + 500GB storage connected to it, so it perfectly fits a music streaming server. Now I just have to throw whatever I want to listen to into the server and stream it from anywhere with internet.

8 hours and 1.6k views already. Wow!

whoever leaks this album in 128 kbps should be arrested.

lol the look doesn't even match the song.

At least there is Night-ship”D”. xD

I like how they still keep playing songs from their early era. One of the few bands that have never forgotten their own roots.

You're right. It hasn't been up on the US store yet. https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/heidi/363581117

The album is out today and is available on iTunes Store globally.

rofl i can't stop laughing. this is more like a session band covering AYABIE songs.

The album arts remind me of this meme, so I made one.

I thought you were trolling until I checked the OHP out loool.

We are X!!
