/operate/ - Endchan Operations

hey Steven i has a question

is the post and image limit tied together? if so that can make a thread heavy to load, lets take a reply limit of 300 for example, that means image limit of 1500! that's a lot to load

can you add optional image limit?

another question

does lynx/end chan have file deduplicator? when the same file is uploaded more than once

>can you add optional image limit?
this is stupid
what you want is change (reduce) the maximum number of attachments per post which I believe it's possible from the board management page

>>10321
yes

how is it stupid? i explained the reasoning, the number of files per post is something else

Anonymous 03/25/2019 (Mon) 09:40 [Preview] No.10324 del

>>10323
it's stupid because by your same argument (300x5=1500, i.e. maximal amount of attachments per posts) the result will be a thread with all attachments at the front followed by text-only replies
nobody wants that, the thread will be abandoned and a new one created
the same outcome (phasing out of threads) can be achieved by simply reducing the maximum amount of replies, and if that is not desired, the maximum amount of attachment per post can be reduced instead

Things have been shit on the temporary servers we had to move to due to the lack of donations.
Sybil LTD ( http://sybil.li?ref=endchan ) has come to our rescue and offered us bigger VPS for free.

We've decided to simplify things and consolidate. We just finished this migration today, we had been working on it for a couple weeks now. We are now hosted in the EU on 4 core, 2.1ghz, 4gb of ram, 500gb SSD VPS

We now have a simpler config:
- no encrypted drives which means no need to wait for an admin to type in passwords for things to start automatically
- should have less power problems than our previous temporary servers
- no more frontend/backend servers, we now have one server and one server alone. This means:
- no more 5th of the month, bill isn't paid west frontend goes down
- no more Communication with Backend has gone down

We have removed i2p and eu access. We traded the EU VPS for this bigger one to run the entire site. Additionally, we're going to start forcing HTTPS. Also we're moving to block open proxies and botnets from posting.

We'll be upgrading LynxChan next.

because the eu frontend got upgraded and turned into the main endchan server as well as we got rid of the frontend/backend mess.

i2p was removed because I don't think it ever worked right nor did we have the support or tools to test it correctly.

It's close to free. We are going to basically give all the donations (after registrar, ssl (yes we pay for non-letsencrypt .xyz cert) and other costs) to the hosting company and they give us what we need.

There's a thread that had some useful information for something I'm working on but it has apparently vanished. Strangely, the thread is not in the logs as having been deleted, so did it just fall off due to being really old? It is my fault for not archiving, but I only just came across it about a week ago. Going through the logs it looks like /tech/ cleaned a bunch of shit on June 26, but this particular thread isn't listed anywhere as having been purged.

what you are asking is at best a caching chicken/egg problem (serving the board page on backend failure) and a syntactical error at worst, (asking for http 301 to not redirect)
the case being hit is appropriate to have it die hard.

yes, I was aware within 5 minutes of it going down but was unable to get a message on the homepage due to some other issues. Also was able to fix until all the money transfers finished.

Just the west frontend, this is why we have the east frontend

Communication between our frontend and LynxChan has failed. LynxChan has crashed, in the middle of restarting or can't be restarted. Give it a few seconds and reload.

It's happening just now on when connecting to the /overboard/.

Individual direct links to boards don't appear to be effected.

Which is really strange because we only has 2 spinning rusts on the original server. I guess it's double the read even though it takes a hit on the write speed. But you think posting a message would need write speed not read... But it's lynxchan nothing surprised me about how it performs. I'll try working on updating the software since I don't have to worry about user traffic now, we can return to our original state of a dead board with no users.

I would not be surprised a "free" VPN service blocks sites like this. As they say, "nothing is really free" so beware of those "free" VPNs as they might be honeypots set up by some alphabet agency.

My private VPN service is cheap as fuck and I have not been blocked once, I can shut it on or off when I desire, or change my IP any time I choose. No logging policies and military grade end-to-end encryption included with the private VPN service. Well worth the measly cash spent.

THIS. The same tranny spammer began wrecking /b/ recently, after trying to wreck /news/ and a few other boards too. This spammer is an asshole, he is not funny, he deliberately wrecks boards and sabotages any conversation likely because he's too autistic to create a conversation himself. If you dare trigger the spammer, he'll spam dicks all over the thread. If you try holding a debate, same fiasco will likely unfold. If you speak your mind and he even thinks you are criticizing him, he'll spam more dicks. If you try to counter or report his spam, he'll just spam more and more until his proxy IP ranges are banned. Its not funny, there is nothing humorous about being such a spastic lunatic.

I just saw him spamming /AM/ the other day. Did report it to their BO. I don't know why he is so obsessed with male genitalia - perhaps he really is just gay - but he just likes posting sick pics and ruining threads. Also, the guy actually claims he works for an intel agency who is "monitoring" us. So he could be crazy or perhaps he is some kind of JTRIG psyop trying to destroy his alleged "enemies" while leaching off the very taxpayers he seems to hate. Either way, sad.
