d3rr · 2019-12-10T20:30:23+00:00

I still think the simpler explanation is a real plane. We're talking like 10 camera angles, some of which only came out years later. And lots of eye witnesses saw the second plane.

I'll look into the plane shaped hole. From what I remember the major structural beams were mostly left intact.

FWIW I think there is a such thing as a "live chat thread" and it's not the same as the chat widget/chat rooms. I've never seen a live post, but I've seen some of the old code.

I tried to get to the bottom of the Shawn Lucas death. The "official" cause of death is fentanyl, cyclobenzaprine (muscle relaxant), and mitragynine (kratom). But the only source of this autopsy information seems to be heavy.com who somehow got talked D.C. out of it. Because of D.C. privacy laws, the autopsy is only released to family members.

So his inclusion on this list is sounding pretty unconfirmed to me.

These are prices for 'new customers'. It's Comcast/NBC, they have a monopoly in many places and roll dirty. They consistently get the lowest customer satisfaction rating nation wide. My only other options are very slow ATT DSL or the Hughes satellite internet.

No, I mentioned 4k because I know those are huge file sizes.

Comcast pricing is always fishy, but in my area they claim:

15 Mbps $40
75 Mbps $50
175 Mbps $65
275 Mbps $80
500 Mbps $120
1000 Mbps and 2000 Mbps available, unknown pricing

I'm able to get really good deals on vps's and turn them into a cdn.

So you just have tons of servers with like 30gb hard drives each? That's pretty clever. I would have expected you to be using block/object storage or something.

They claimed at one point to be spending $5,000 a month on Azure just to get the throughput needed (at that point you try caching).

I remember this insanity well. I was on there nagging them to port to linux for cheaper hosting... not sure if they ever did. But yes, they had to have been missing the boat on caching somehow. I imagine that Putt didn't have the dev skills to fix it, and the first dev was long gone. It's a good example of how tech decisions can absolutely cripple your whole company/site.

I dig your minimalist CSS... it could use a bit of polish from a designer person but whatever. I like your 2x menu and the hamburger customization options.

I've never heard of pic8 or jssocial, i'll check it out. I will start recommending your site in addition to PeerTube. Your search functionality is better than BitChute already. Here's my PeerTube instance I'm running for $10/mo. It's kinda dead, but I was one of the first American instances. I also got a commit accepted that lets you use block storage with PeerTube.

It's mostly for collecting videos that would otherwise disappear. https://tube.4aem.com/video-channels/fedfuckersinc_channel/videos (no a/b testing on my CSS and it shows!).

If you're talking about our Global Bans system, sure, we could surface that wherever. I think there's a user.is_global_banned property or method that we can call wherever.

I'd try to render it wherever the existing code renders 'deleted', if that works.

Maybe I'm just baked but this article is written like shit and makes no sense. There's contradictory claims and no evidence.

I think there's just shadow bans and mods removing content that makes it to the top of /r/all. Automatic reddit/admin level censorship of certain urls (4chan and 8chan) which cannot be overridden by mods is an actual story imo.

https://old.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/do0opr/reddit_is_currently_putting_in_new_algorithms/

d3rr · 2019-12-02T23:23:45+00:00

I think if all the things you recommended were done, with the thumbnails and static and css being on other servers, that'd probably give us like 4x-6x the traffic capacity for the main server. And we can probably handle about 4x normal traffic on our current setup without changing anything before it really slows down. So combined that'd be 16x-24x our current traffic.

Agreed

Then once we hit those limits we can start upgrading the main server to have more CPUs, of course. Maybe research what plan you would upgrade to next, so we can do it quickly if necessary.

I'll keep this in mind, but I think we need to plan on horizontal scaling (more servers) rather than vertical scaling (more powerful server). For example with popular hosting company Linode ;) 4 cores is $40 a month, but 8 cores is $160/mo. So we could have 4 servers and 16 cores for the price of a single 8 core server. Splitting the traffic to different servers can be done with a load balancer server in front of the other servers.

"only serve 4 requests at once right now" Can you tell me more about this? Is it a setting in nginx? Can this number be expanded by increasing the number of CPUs? Is that the only way?

This is the number of CPU cores we have. Yes I believe more cores is the only way to serve insane traffic levels, but then you get into maxing out what a single network card can handle as well.

d3rr · 2019-12-02T20:04:42+00:00

d3rr · 2019-12-02T06:17:26+00:00

Shit I'm scared and making a backup now... hahaaaa.

If we were to suddenly get say 5x the number of users, what would our hardware bottleneck be, do you think? The CPU?

No clue. If I had to guess I'd say yeah probably CPU limited since we have 8GB of RAM and aren't hosting chat on the same server anymore. But CPU limited at the nginx level, like there's not enough CPU to handle all of the incoming requests and requests have to wait. (we can technically only serve 4 requests at once right now). I think a natural progression of scaling is for us to host all of the thumbnails on a separate domain and server, so those requests don't hit the main server anymore. Also custom sub CSS. So any url starting with 'static' or 'media' could be handled on a separate server.

Cassandra and postgres can also both be on their own servers in the far future, if local disk space becomes the issue. It's all figured out aside from being stuck on Ubuntu 14. I hope to get back to that challenge sometime soon.

d3rr · 2019-12-02T05:31:45+00:00
