I was trying something to fix the ios bug that keeps videos from playing. It should be all fixed.

I changed the root URL from www.surlyhorns.com to just surlyhorns.com so your cookies don't carry over. I put it back to www.

 

That explains that. Thanks. Code someone mentioned looked kinda json-ish. Wasn’t much to it, no real meaningful value or some weird exposure.

Can't you do maintenance during work hours, that's when I'm busy

Imagine what will happen when the shit really gets fixed?

That will be a happy day on ol’ Surl.

One day. 

I haven't been to the colo since the beginning of covid when they kicked us out of austin and we moved to dallas. Its really tough to do everything through remote hands when I want to do major backend system updates. FYI I'm currently upgrading the storage/media backend to get ready for hosting substantially more video/image content.

Man, here’s my honest question... Why is this a weekly thing? Seriously, every single week the search index, or whatever you want to call it, is fucked up. Every single week. 

I have literally never seen another website have this issue. Shag never did.

Shaggy didn't even have a real search function, you had to use google. Shaggy didn't have feeds. Shaggy didn't have really any of the features that are on this board. The search index isn't fucked up and it's not every single week - there was a bug in the software (since patched) that was removing the index. 

I certainly can’t win this argument. This thread is 80 pages for a reason. Next week when the activity streams are down, we’ll be back here as usual. 

I wish as much as you do that shit ran smoothly.

Plans on moving to cloud?

shaggy also crashed every gameday or big commit - Peoples memories are short, but surly doesn't even slow down on gameday anymore and we were serving over 30k requests/hr sustained for the entire day during alabama and it was flawless. We haven't had site hiccups due to being too busy in years - sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. I also don't tell everyone all the stuff I'm doing that comes with no downtime or really any hiccups and how quickly those hiccups are resolved/fixed before anyone even notices. 

The search index seems to be a sticking point. O get it though. 
 

Just be thankful it doesn’t affect hundreds of high paying client (6figs each, annually) with 100’s of millions of records each. 
 

That shit sucks the fat one. 😂

hope its ass is “elastic”, and can take the length. 

 

 

I feel the pain Imma, really do. And it sucks when you wake up and wonder what fresh hell is headed your way. We deal with it too, and have had to do a lot of backend updates and additions to help it.

Thankfully ours doesn’t have to be real time. A few minutes difference helps a lot.

no, this isn't an issue with the colocation provider or facility. even though it's a hardware issue, obviously I have enough redundant hardware for it not to matter, I just didn't want to have to failover because it's a pain in the ass from a configuration perspective.

For those curious Surly runs on 2 enterprise grade NAS that are in an active/passive configuration + a backup to a remote offsite + another local backup just in case shit really hits the fan and we just need to go get the data. The active/passive are synced every 15 minutes and snapshotted every 15 minutes as well. When I first introduced surly storage it wasn't this "enterprise grade" and I told people not to put stuff they care about on it. Now it's as robust as most cloud solutions, and the uptime (despite how it feels) actually meets or exceeds any cloud provider. 

Right now we are running on the passive node, which I'll have to sync the changes back to the active node when it recovers from a boot drive failure that cause the simple reboot to fail. Each of these nodes can have 3 entire disk failures before 1 of them loses data. Over the last 4 years I've replaced 4 disks with no downtime between the systems. It's robust and tested working, sometimes shit just happens like boot drive failures after a long time and that's what happened this time. 

@immamac Not sure if it's just me (or just DuckDuckGo) but I'm getting 503 errors in DuckDuckGo this morning.  Chrome mobile and desktop work fine.

i run a similar config for my porn collection.  but with solid state boot drives.  in the process of upgrading to 14TB enterprise grade drives now that drive prices are settling down from chia rush.

activities streams down?

The sun comes up, the activities streams go down. Circle of Surly.

I've been seeing some strange quoting behavior where a quote block is attributed to me, but it's from someone else's post

I am getting a ton of ads popping up all over my screen on surly all of the sudden even while I am logged in. I click them away and they pop right back up. Running on Chrome/Mac. I dont get it on any other site.

Good god--there's now a pop-up on every single post.  It's made the site completely unusable.
