Server Upgrade / Downtime

[brizzo]

Well, we had an unexpected outage for the first time in years!

Over the past couple days we had been upgrading the server with latest operating system and tune ups. This upgrade allowed a couple stale backups to remain on our storage system, which once the backups ran early this morning for daily + month end backups -- we ran out of disk space! Servers do not like that, which results in the webserver and database shutting down to protect data.

All is well now

I think I unlocked the thread’s second loop, but it had the same ending.

Might be a me issue, but is the site loading slower than usual for anyone?

It's been noticeably slower for me.

I've also noticed I don't get notifications for a lot of watched threads... Not sure what that's about.

Thanks for confirming, I was checking my PC out, browser plugins etc, to make sure nothing funny was going on.

I need to reload the page a few times to get update notifications, etc. And it does take some time for the page to refresh.

It does seem slower to me when browsing. Less so when on a single thread.

I assumed that it was just general internet connectivity slowness, but then realised that Arcadeprojects is the internet for me

Site was technically under attack, problem fixed. We are constantly dealing with malicious web scraping bots trying to scoop up the entire wealth of the internet for AI training....
