A small update, which could help if you experience a bad connection, poor routing or live further from the servers. All servers now support connecting through SDR (basically Valve's gaming VPN), in addition to direct connections.
So if you are on a server and have packet loss or unexpected high pings, type "!sdr" in chat to get the SDR connect info.

Just paste that in the TF2 console to connect to the same server, but this time through SDR.

As an example, this helped lower my ping to one of the Chicago servers, the first row is me on SDR, with a private SDR IP, the second row is me on a direct connection to the server:

There's also a queues endpoint which gets polled once a minute. It appears to return a list of all matches ever played and all the players in those matches and the pug histories of those players. While it probably just should return the current queues.

So that's become a 1.7MiB JSON with 80k lines. It gets loaded 5 times after opening the site.

You could set "logstf_title" through RCON after your serveme.tf reservation starts.

Uploading duplicates is what TF2Center does.

Thanks to ozfortress, au.serveme.tf is back :) Starting out with 12 gameservers.

More info on how and why in these two blogposts.

Please don't use that. It's unmaintained and not user friendly. I just wrote it for myself because it was something interesting for VanillaTV at the time, so that's some indication of how old it is ;)

People from Russia and Belarus can make reservations on the site again. Just tick the "I am not a vatnik" box and you're good to go.

I was at MasterNoob's this summer and we discussed it, not as in me buying it, just my thoughts on him pulling the plug.

He's been looking for someone to take over and buy the whole thing for a while because he hasn't had the same interest in the site as he once had.

You're not going to like the price.

How did you match the demos.tf URL with the logs.tf log?

Asking for a friend.

Are you plugged into the back panel or front panel? Have you tried both?

If you're not using the front panel, consider unplugging the HD Audio front-panel plug from your motherboard.

Not sure where you're getting that nonsense from, but it's actually because I haven't updated the Stripe credit card integration to fully comply with new EU laws. Some banks require those updated rules (e.g. 3dsecure), causing failed payment attempts. Your bank blocking your card because of that, is between you and your bank.
You can use paypal instead for now.
