| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@podmin@joindiaspora.com: # Hello JoinDiaspora there is some unfortunate news to share. Feneas will be dissolved and as Joindiaspora is one of the services.

| schestowitz | @Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) You’re simply repeating yourself without providing new information. I find that annoying, and suspect others on the thread do likewise. | Jan 27 02:54 |
| schestowitz | If you earnestly think you can run the service yourself, then make arrangements to do so.

| schestowitz | @Pavithran S and @>sfb< SigmundFreud'sBartender, frustrating as it is for you, it’s possible that each time you try the download button again, it sends the server into another load attempting to process your archives. It might be that the first archive attempt is still processing and that the server is now attempting to process multiple archives for each of you, which will be slowing everything down. I don’t know that that is the case, but I | Jan 27 02:55 |
| schestowitz | think it would be worth waiting for a good amount of time – maybe a week or more, as neither of you need to download your archive before late March. | Jan 27 02:55 |

| schestowitz | @Pavithran S I think the restriction is on a user basis, i.e. I believe the server is configured so that no single user operation exceeds ‘x’ amount of seconds and ‘y’ amount of ram. Then when the server tries to fetch all your data it is exceeding one of those amounts and aborts the operation… I have seen that problem many many times… | Jan 27 02:55 |
| schestowitz | I don’t believe there is any way to fix that if the admin does not cooperate, however i would indeed try to do it when the traffic is less in case the restriction is not user basis | Jan 27 02:55 |

| schestowitz | Please don’t do that. As explained, this is an issue with the administration of the JD.com pod (possibly server load), not a bug in the Diaspora core code-base. Opening another ticket will not help and is just noise/spam. | Jan 27 02:56 |
| schestowitz | I appreciate your frustration with the current state of the JD.com pod, but hassling the developers of the core Diaspora code will not help you.

| schestowitz | Is there any insight you could provide on the nature of that broken state and how it was or was not communicated to either members or the Diaspora* community at large? | Jan 27 02:56 |
| schestowitz | Well, it was originally set up as a test pod for the founders to ‘move fast and break things’ and actually ran on a fork of the main code-base for the first few years at least (there used to be a joindiaspora fork in the Github repo), on which Maxwell and other founders could write bespoke code. The enormous number of accounts signed up to that pod in the first few weeks in September 2000 always caused problems because the code in the alpha | Jan 27 02:56 |
| schestowitz | stage wasn’t able properly to cope with such load, and when the code improved later, there were still residual problems with that pod. Admins of that pod have, over the years, performed a number of database hacks to try to improve responsivity, but this seems to have caused further problems. It has never been a really well functioning pod. | Jan 27 02:56 |
| schestowitz | There was a very long-running Github issue about the problems with that pod, although I can’t remember its title and I can’t find it at the moment. There was certainly plenty of discussion within the Diaspora network over the years about the problems with the pod – that’s how I knew about it, and why I moved to another pod in 2012, because my account on JD.com wasn’t federating properly with the rest of the network – although there was | Jan 27 02:56 |
| schestowitz | probably never an announcement about this from the admins of the pod. Keep in mind that as of 27 August 2012, JD.com was no longer an ‘official project pod’, but just another community-run pod operated by a volunteer (Maxwell to start with, and then Lukas). | Jan 27 02:56 |
