Whenever we give money we end up with disasters like dooby and the red cross and radium. When will we learn our lesson and just send lowtax crates full of bees

Isn’t there just like a button to push that will fix everything? Lowtax, have you tried pushing the button?

Phy posted:I thought I had read once that the forum code was so janky that bandwidth usage was like twice as much as it would be under a more modern system It’s theoretically possible, but it would take some pretty weird code to double your bandwidth costs. I guess the forums could be serving multiple megs of un-minified Javascript, or generating ludicrous amounts of traffic over the wire between the front end and the back end. Whatever the case, bandwidth now costs about 1% of what it did when these forums opened.

My pet theory is that the database and front end are in separate datacentres, just because it would be very on-brand. (That said, bad cache behaviour on images could probably hurt a lot for some subforums at least.)

It's really weird how since Lowtax has had these health problems any time donating money to him is discussed people eventually start brainstorming how to fix the forums.

I think there's an assumption that the forums cost way more than they should to run because they're ridiculously inefficient, and if they got fixed they'd cost him a lot less each month

You think if the government agrees to pay for his spine he'll turn on goons? Because he should have a pitch ready when the secret service come visit.

I don't believe "I will, as a mote of poisonous spirit, infest our president's colon then enlarge myself and explode out of his rear end like an alien" is a credible threat under the investigatory standards of the secret service.

My pet theory is that the database is located in 2002, explaining both the bandwidth costs, and the performance. Somfin posted:The gently caress happened to your avatar I think someone changed it. [pause for laughter] I have to give credit to whoever selected it: this is the first avatar anyone’s ever given me which caused my first reaction to be mild horror, rather than amusement or gratitude. Snowglobe of Doom posted:"Some pretty weird code" is a given, never underestimate how dumb and lovely the coding holding this site together might be. True, although “doubles your bandwidth costs” is still a pretty specialized type of bad coding.

i just hit refresh on the page and got 1.89MB of transfer, that's a fairly heavy page and assume an average time of 40 seconds between request per user, idk what the average user count is, but this one time i saw 5,555 logged in users which seems auspicious to me that's about 10.5 gigs per minute and nearly all of it is images, the biggest offender that's not an image is jquery and that's coming from a cdn fixing the forums ain't gonna fix bandwidth edit: i guess you could make SA a spa or some poo poo but lol chrome is gonna bloat to 20 gigs in every computer on the planet Pimblor has a new favorite as of 10:24 on Mar 14, 2019 |
