@ceruleanspark Oh, I almost forgot to say: thanks for whatever you did to shore up the server, looks like it worked (and is working) great, even under the increased load. :)
-
@bitshift Increased the cache TTL so that dynamic pages were regenerated half as frequently, reducing the server load correspondingly. As the load varied I shortened the TTL's correspondingly to try and balance timeline responsiveness with load.
-
@bitshift It means a lot to me when people actually thank me for this stuff too :3
-
@ceruleanspark You were continuing to tweak it as the episode was going? Even more kudos to you, then.
-
@ceruleanspark Well then I guess I better get off my butt and actually thank you, cause I noticed a massive boost in performance after we got over that first bump. xD
-
@ceruleanspark I mean, I know if it was me, I would've probably ended up just watching the episode and saying "eh, it'll be fine". Which is why you're the server guy here, and not me. :P
-
@ceruleanspark I really appreciate this place exists and works - I just don't know why it works.
-
@bitshift Yeah. Moving it up and down. The trouble with increasing the TTL is that it makes the timeline refresh slowly (as in, new posts take longer to show up), so I was trying to move it up and down in line with load so peoples updates would post faster, but not kill the server.
-
@ceruleanspark You're pretty much all around awesome for rising to the occasion when you could be watching a livestream of ponies.
Toksyuryel and Bit Shift like this. -
@ceruleanspark @rotation HOORAY!
-
@rotation What'd he do? It doesn't seem any different or anything.
-
@ceruleanspark HOORAY!!
-
@ceruleanspark HOORAY!!!
-
@alargesmallhorse That's exactly the point. Due to increased traffic, the site should have encountered extreme slowdown. It didn't.
-
-
@alargesmallhorse The first thing the server did was crash under the load.
-
@ceruleanspark Yay you fixed our beloved toaster that is RDN. <3
-
@minti @ceruleanspark: Toaster Repair pony.
-
@ceruleanspark Then good job on fixing it I suppose. I never expected it to get that insane. On the bright side, I guess noone could post spoilers.
-
@alargesmallhorse I wasn't expecting that to happen either to be honest. There didn't seem to be that many more people posting than usual. A lot of furious F5 hammering going on though.
-
@ceruleanspark Thank you so much! *hughughug*
-
@minti That sounds like a reference...
