gollark: The Random Stuff API also connects to *this*, for reasons (it used to do more with this, but that got split out into ircsysmon), and broadcasts the current track into a dedicated #o channel also bridged to the Test 2 Discord guild, which a bunch of my stuff runs in.
gollark: Onto the other bits of the diagram. ngircd is an IRC server, and the osmarks.net instance of this participates in APIONET.
gollark: It was actually on caddy for quite a while, but v2 annoyed me, so I went back to nginx.
gollark: I have about 500 lines of horribly entangled configuration files driving this, despite the original design of osmarks.net (formerly osmarks.tk) calling for it to mostly be a static website.
gollark: Now, the diagram says "nginx". Nginx is also an important part of this setup. It is a reverse proxy allowing me to run all this slightly crazy stuff on one IP, and encrypt with "HTTPS" apiotechnology.
