Slow speed

[Duluth]

Forum crashed and was down for ~30mins

As I mentioned, we are creaking a bit until we update the server

[Duluth]

Also I'll get a full backup tonight.

The server will be down for ~1hr. Probably around 11pm to midnight

[Duluth]

Forum going offline in 30mins for a backup

Guess I'll have to get up off my ass and do breakfast. Thanks for the warning.

[Duluth]

Ok the backup is complete. That was quicker than I was expecting

Things have got slower than Sevu Reece in the open field.
May be just me, but thought I should report it @Duluth

godamnit, remember paying Telecom for a second phone line to access internet in peace.

The bad old days.

[Machpants]

Yeah glacial ATM, sadly

[Duluth]

Thanks for reporting it

Umm no idea why. Resources look fine. I've restarted everything and disabled most embeds

[nzzp]

@Duluth seems to be working again now. Thank you.

[Duluth]

..and then it crashed

embeds are back on as they were not the culprit

Will build a fresh server with some better protection next month. Until then we limp along and I'll restart services regularly.

It was mostly fine during the day. It's worth keeping track of what time the slowness happens

I remember going on a New-Years road-trip, while being on-call - and needing to stop and beg shop-owners to plug my laptop into their phone-lines to connect and solve a problem.
I had a pager. Honest-to-god fucking pager.

About 12-13 seconds to load this thread just now (11.04am NZDT).

And likewise, took 8-9 seconds for the above message to go from the Quick Reply field to being posted.

home screen taking over 30 seconds to load, bots overloading perhaps
