  1. I think the server failed the benchmark in that the software just hung.

    1. @ceruleanspark You love to break things

      1. @mrdragon I was trying to check what our MySQL server is running at. I benched my personal server, and an SSD backed one, and I wanted to see what a larger servers results were like.

        1. @ceruleanspark Should try the Squares server, it's a nightmare to keep running. PHP-Fox software makes Statusnet look like a trained dug

          1. @mrdragon I thought they had a cluster?

            1. @ceruleanspark We don't, just the one. I WANT to get a Cluster, one master system with several Cloud Source system's dotted around the world. But I need a bigger wage.

              1. @mrdragon What webserver are you using?

                1. @ceruleanspark Can't remember anymore really, one of the mid range OVH dedis

                  1. @mrdragon It's nginx, I just pinged it. You running a PHP Opcode cache? Memcached? PHP-FPM instead of fastcgi? What's your database running on?

                    1. @ceruleanspark Don't even know, I'm not the techie.

                      1. @mrdragon I bet they've done those things anyway. Well, I'm experimenting with how much performance it's possible to squeeze out of a group of low-end servers. I can let you know if I come across anything interesting.

                        1. @ceruleanspark Cordite, my techie is busy working on a Cloud system for us, something simple that can be run off of a low end place. As for how it all works, I know not really. I stopped meddling in it all after I gave up RDN. PHP-Fox itself (The softawre we use for the social network) is horridly designed both front and back-end. We have issues all the time, only way to even keep the site usable is to forcefully clear the cache every 10 minutes.

                          1. @mrdragon That sounds familliar. Takes me back to the bad old days.

                            1. @ceruleanspark the all or nothing days

                              Tuesday, 11-Jun-13 15:15:53 UTC from web
                            2. @ceruleanspark You mean when we were trying to run this site on a 3gb duel core system

                              Tuesday, 11-Jun-13 15:16:24 UTC from web
                              1. @mrdragon with an outdated version of apache that we couldn't upgrade as our webserver. I learned a lot though.

                                Tuesday, 11-Jun-13 15:26:46 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                1. @ceruleanspark That was just pure awful...I still have the other server we had though.

                                  Tuesday, 11-Jun-13 15:33:52 UTC from web
                                  1. @mrdragon Isn't that costing you rather a lot just to keep around?

                                    Tuesday, 11-Jun-13 15:34:49 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                    1. @ceruleanspark £55 a month. It's holding the forums up that used to be RDN's, a few MC servers for me and friends and a TS server. And a couple other sites too

                                      1. @mrdragon That's not too bad. I'm on a tiny 1GB VPS that costs about a tenner.

                                        1. @ceruleanspark Can't get mine anymore, instead of two duel cores it's a single quad core. I just like having it there really, you never know when it'll come in handy

                                          1. @mrdragon That's how I feel about my little box, Machina. She's so useful.

                                            1. @ceruleanspark Mines bigger. Server dick wars

                                              1. @mrdragon Give me 5 minutes with AWS or Droplets and I'll have more servers/dicks than you can imagine.

                                                1. @ceruleanspark You be getting alllll dem hookers, be able to get your own online blackjack too

                            3. @ceruleanspark Oh man, I remember @glorioustrixie.

                              1. @redenchilada It seemed like a good solution to an otherwise insurmountable problem.

                                1. @ceruleanspark Well, sure. It should have been a Scootabot
