History
The PT-boat jetty at Tufi, 1943

Tufi was an Australian New Guinea Administrative Unit (ANGAU) Station during World War II. The United States Navy built an PT boat advanced base at Tufi which commenced operations on 20 December 1942 to support the Battle of Buna–Gona. Two PT boats, PT-67 & PT-119 caught fire while refueling at the bases wharf and sank on 17 March 1943 at the wharf along with the Australian army vessel AS 16. The PT boat base was relocated to Morobe on 20 April 1943.

gollark: osmarks.tk has a postgres database server as well as about five million SQLite instances, it doesn't get much use.
gollark: * instead of sqlite
gollark: Come to think of it, I *could* use postgres instead of nginx for this.
gollark: Imagine the potential for analysis of osmarks.tk trends.
gollark: Anyway, instead of logging *directly* to a database somehow, I'd just have nginx output JSON logs, which I could then feed into a program to periodically parse that, dump it in a database, delete the log file, and have nginx reopen the logfile.
