I'm not illuminati but I think the issue is a combniation of both. The code as it's written is not as efficient as the amount of traffic ilx generates needs it to be.

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

OTM. The code as it stands uses the database for just about every page you see. That's ok when it's small, but i understand it's past 4gb, and the strain's showin.

stet (stet), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Gotcha. So the code rewrite is to change our DB-access vehicle from a 4-cyl. Chevy ImpLOLa to a 12-cyl LMAOborghini. I guess one obvious question is, what if the best model available is a 6-cyl. vehicle? (I'm not doubting y'all's ability, just asking.)

I would just about get behind dumping the DB and starting fresh, and everybody could have 30 days or whatever to save their favorite threads. It would be interesting to start from scratch with basic topics like "Sex: C/D" with a mix of old-time ILXors (whose outlooks might have changed) and newcomers. But I know that's been brought up and pretty much discarded as a plan.

There was some talk of keeping old threads seperate and only injecting them into the live database when they were bumped, but that was purely top-of-the-head gas on my part and hasn't really been checked for feasibility.

"Sex with a mix of old-time ILXors: C/D"

(since ken c isn't here, someone has to do the parody threads...)

StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

And again. Grmbll.

Hooray for all of you at thehole.net! (which is my default typo when I try to get here, inexplicably.)

StanM (StanM), Thursday, 24 August 2006 08:56 (seventeen years ago) link

This is insane - it's not usually Poxy Fuled at this time of the morning. I'll have to WORK all morning now. Bah.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 24 August 2006 09:00 (seventeen years ago) link

It *was* on, and now it's not.

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 24 August 2006 09:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, it's back. Later.

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 24 August 2006 09:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Am I missing something? All I've had consistently for days now is timing out.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Thursday, 24 August 2006 11:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Are you p3ring or wh3rding? I use wh3rd and it's been okay most of today.

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Thursday, 24 August 2006 14:35 (seventeen years ago) link

It's confusing:

poxy fule 1 = admin doing some admin thing (couple of minutes)
poxy fule 2 = too many people visiting the site (longer)
timeout = even more people trying to visit (hours on end)
other timeout = something else happens which can sometimes be solved by Andrew?

StanM (StanM), Thursday, 24 August 2006 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I was p3ring, but I couldn't get in with wh3rd either (assuming the other parts of the url are the same).

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Thursday, 24 August 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I use wh3rd and it's been okay most of today.

B-b-but I'm afraid of sharks!

tom, Friday, 25 August 2006 02:32 (seventeen years ago) link

it's down awful early today.

stet (stet), Friday, 25 August 2006 10:54 (seventeen years ago) link

It's just timed out for me ALL WEEK.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Friday, 25 August 2006 11:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I think you may have network/router problems Al. Happened to me before with BT connect where I could access some sites but not others.

ILX is mostly down at the moment so it's kind of hard to diagnose anything when you don't know if what you're trying to connect to is even available.

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 25 August 2006 11:54 (seventeen years ago) link

See if you can ping the servers.

(type "ping ilx.p3r.net" and/or "ping ilx.wh3rd.net" from a command prompt)

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 25 August 2006 11:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Get replies from both.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Friday, 25 August 2006 12:59 (seventeen years ago) link

try a tracert

"tracert ilx.p3r.net"

That might show you where it's timing out.

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

and see if your isp is reporting any problems on their status page.

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

The important bit (i.e. once it reaches ILX)

18 335ms 336ms 352ms 61.88.181.230
19 349ms * * 61.88.181.230
20 * 352ms * 203.123.80.12
21 347ms 352ms 349ms 203.123.80.12

Trace complete.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:42 (seventeen years ago) link

um

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

er

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Aliens.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Can you go here: http://wh3rd.net
?

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

No, that times out as well.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I should say, in the interim I changed the registry setting to 10000, so nothing should really time out given it gets 10s to answer.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

It's PF'ing as well, by the way. AND it's almost weekend (= two days of timeouts coming up)...

StanM (StanM), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Dunno tbh. I still think you've got ISP issues.

I'm going for a pint.

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh well. Hopefully I'll be able to connect to nu-nu-ILX.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

It's fucked right now, right?

Modal Fugue (Modal Fugue), Saturday, 26 August 2006 09:14 (seventeen years ago) link

right

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Saturday, 26 August 2006 09:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I killed it with some bad crossword clues.

Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Saturday, 26 August 2006 11:13 (seventeen years ago) link

i haven't had any trouble at all in the past few days

trees (trees), Monday, 28 August 2006 03:54 (seventeen years ago) link

And this morning it's back like nothing happened...

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Monday, 28 August 2006 06:56 (seventeen years ago) link

and now i can't even get a poxy fule. just 'not found.' wtf

trees (trees), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm back where I was yesterday.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeh, that's odd. I'm getting not found too -- just like during the big outage, which was when Andrew turned it off temporarily.

stet (stet), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

no pong from my ping, server is unreachable.

StanM (StanM), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope they haven't pulled the plug! Andrew said he was going to hear today, but that he thought we'd have until Sept 30th. Hmm.

stet (stet), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Phew. It's back.

StanM (StanM), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Nope

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Monday, 28 August 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 08:31 (seventeen years ago) link

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link
