schestowitz>> As soon as I went to sleep the server/VM had an issue and no backupNov 17 01:17
schestowitz>> person being available, I did not know about the uptime until I woke up.Nov 17 01:17
schestowitz>> 5.5 hours downtime as a result; a matter of bad luck.Nov 17 01:18
schestowitz>>Nov 17 01:18
schestowitz> Yes, I just got home and noticed the red LED was lit.  My script showsNov 17 01:18
schestowitz> that it was at 19-11-15 20:39:51 UTC.  I was unavailable at the time.Nov 17 01:18
schestowitz> I'm back now and will look at the links soon.Nov 17 01:18
schestowitzI told Rianne in advance that now will (would) be the 'real' test of luck. Will things break exactly when monitoring is 'off'? It didn't take long. 5 minutes after I fell asleep.Nov 17 01:18
schestowitzOn the 'good' side, Friday nights are not busy times.Nov 17 01:18
schestowitz> ACLU feed is still quite brokenNov 17 01:19
schestowitzI have to open these links in my browser just to grab the headlines. ACLU does not seem to understand how the Web works.Nov 17 01:19
schestowitzIn previews, when you paste the links in social control media, those sites too fail to fetch title. It's really, really bad.Nov 17 01:19
schestowitz> Just had a false positive with TM.  It's still available but the warningNov 17 01:26

schestowitz>  20:08:47 up 13 days,  6:47,  2 users,  load average: 1.55, 1.10, 1.27Nov 17 01:27
schestowitz>Nov 17 01:27
schestowitz> The load might be a little high?Nov 17 01:27
schestowitzWhen I link to it from socialcontrolmedia the load spikes for about 30 seconds. When there's backup (sql dumps) the load is high, but nowhere as high as when the same happens on TR, sometimes triggering alerts.Nov 17 01:27
schestowitzWe still don't know if the VM 'crashes' (disconnects) will be magically resolved by virtue of moving to a new OS on the same HV.Nov 17 01:27

schestowitzPlease note that I 'zeroed' the file  (above, first) when it reached one GB as up until the crash the partition approached 90% in usage.Nov 17 01:53
schestowitzThe crash being a 5-hour 'reboot' :-) meant that the partition had some space freed up. mariadb keeps some large 'live' files around (Xrevan tried to explain this to me in IRC). I wonder if without a  reboot we can compact this DB, e.g. by just stopping httpd, then stopping mysqld, then bringing them back up in turn. Never tried......Nov 17 01:53
schestowitzThis xmas we don't go anywhere, so will have more time to do site maintenance etc. No house maintenance scheduled this time... no chores in my list.Nov 17 01:53
schestowitzI can deal with more links about programming for TM and TR. If you know of a "Planet Perl" or "Planet C++" or whatever, feel free to add to the automated links. Linux and FOSS news dry up, just like any tech news (in general) and we must adapt...Nov 17 01:53

schestowitzI got an alert for downtime as well, which is unusual. But the next time it was checked things were OK. It wasn't an HV-level issue, else I'd get an alert for TR also...Nov 17 01:58
schestowitzMaybe there was a spike in load that we did not detect as it was short-lived.Nov 17 01:58
schestowitzThe log files probably have an explanation in them, but it would take a long time to analyse and we lack specialised tools for it.Nov 17 01:58
schestowitzLet's outsource to CLOUDFLARE!!Nov 17 01:58
schestowitzJust kidding!!!Nov 17 01:58
schestowitz> Sunday 9-11???Nov 17 01:59
schestowitzYes, I can do that. Please just confirm before 8am today. Just to be sure.Nov 17 01:59
schestowitz> I already tweeted about it, as the fox in the henhouse. We cannotNov 17 02:28
schestowitz> tolerate lobbyists of OIN and Franhofer to write such papers with publicNov 17 02:28
schestowitz> money, as they have an interest. This has basic conflict of interestsNov 17 02:28
schestowitz> problems.Nov 17 02:28
schestowitzMaybe I will write about it later.Nov 17 02:28
schestowitz[13:28] <zoobab> what do you know about OpenUK? Amanda Brock is OIN as wellNov 17 13:39
