schestowitz-TRit just showed some alerts related to the search indexJul 04 07:14
schestowitz-TRbut overall these issues go bakc more than a weekJul 04 07:14
schestowitz-TRwe just don't quite see themJul 04 07:14
schestowitz-TRI checked randomly some pages to ensure all works OKJul 04 07:14
schestowitz-TRone option I tought was involves loss of some comments etc.Jul 04 07:14
schestowitz-TRand we need to have accounts open for contributors like mariusJul 04 07:14
schestowitz-TRfrom what I've read, upgrading drupal is not easy at allJul 04 07:14

Techrights-sec2TM has brief outages throughout the day, so those are more likely slowdowns andJul 04 07:15
Techrights-sec2timeouts than anything elseJul 04 07:15
Techrights-sec2the appeal to novelty fallacy is too heavily used for that to be allowedJul 04 07:15
Techrights-sec2and, yes, there are perverse incentives motivating churn rather than stabilityJul 04 07:15
Techrights-sec2that churn also allows decommodification to creep in a little at a timeJul 04 07:15

schestowitz-TRwhile I don't know (nor think) the DB issue is related to the disk, it would help to address that other issueJul 04 07:19
schestowitz-TRtoo. kaniini says the sites are i/o intensive, which is likely correctJul 04 07:19
Techrights-sec2they look I/O intensiveJul 04 07:19
schestowitz-TRso maybe that's the cause, but with bad backup files it is not benignJul 04 07:19

schestowitz-TRfor TM and TR, JUST BEING ONLINE and serving pages is in itself a "winning" moveJul 04 15:32
schestowitz-TRit's a race against outside threats, inc. tech rotJul 04 15:32
schestowitz-TRlike I said before, many "big" news sites like IDG's *world have shut downJul 04 15:32
schestowitz-TRthey need migrations and sys admins to keep those runningJul 04 15:32
schestowitz-TRand if they don't have no "content" (salaried writers), then traffic is lowJul 04 15:32
schestowitz-TRand cost of tech people becomes harder to justifyJul 04 15:32
