Database Errors

[metroidfox]

It would be interesting to hear the postmortem of outages like the database one yesterday.


What exactly happened?

 

[Seyiji]

Don't say mortem !____!

 

[Silent-Runner]

the more often these happen, the more people will visit other forums. At some point, they won't come back....

I think we are going through hamsters much faster than usual.

 

[kboye]

Itchy gets it going when the hamster dies.

We need some home grown hamsters and not rely on geriattric retired hamsters that served their time on other servers.

I stand corrected lol. Thanks Itchy

 

[acroig]

I stand corrected lol. Thanks Itchy

Yes, he has physical possession of the hamsters.

Glad to see its back.

I know its probably been discussed before, but what would it take to fix the issue properly and prevent this from happening anymore? If its a case of funds needed for a proper hosting I would gladly contribute to a patreon or whatever. I'm sure many of us here would as well. Who would be in the position to coordinate something like that?

Thanks for your patience Ragers. Ichy thought he had it fixed last night, but there were a couple more things to deal with.

Long term we are moving off the hamsters. That transition is taking longer than expected.

Guinea pigs? Capybara? Surely another rodent!!

Stop hiding em up your bum during their lunch breaks and maybe they'll last longer lol.

We need more members in the Discord you guys. Cause one day, it's not going to be back, and that day is creeping closer it feels.

 

[metroidfox]

I didn't know about that Discord channel until andino shared it above.

Specifically what kinds of things need to be done to fix these hamster issues?
