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.

How much does hosting cost now?

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.



/tech/ thread restoration/archive? Anonymous 06/29/2017 (Thu) 15:24 [Preview] No. 6619 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
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.

Requesting backup or archive if possible. Thanks very much.

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.



uptime drama continues odilitime Board volunteer 07/02/2018 (Mon) 07:44 [Preview] No. 9434 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
On June 28th, our hosting company started to migrate us to their Switzerland datacenter without notice, they estimated 5 days of downtime.
On June 29th, we were given some options. We could either stay down until monday and then moving everything ourselves over or wait a few couples and they would just copy what we have but we'd be given a new IP.
I opted for the few hours of down time, since we can change IPs quickly.
Late on the 29th, I asked how it was going, didn't get a response until the 30th that things were slow.
Late on the 30th, I asked about status, got an update on the 1st that the copy was done.
I was told we were back online but we weren't. I had to wait until late July 1st to get this resolved with their support.
Also the new server is a bit slow because they're still moving sites over to it.

At least we won't have the billing transfer issues on the 5th like we used to. Hopefully things will stay stable after all this nonsense.

Odilitime, I have been having problems with this site since the last 12 hours.

First off, when I tried accessing this site in the morning I got the "502 Bad Gateway nginx" error.

Later on, I was able to access this site. Now my replies are not loading correctly and it seems I can no longer load images or media files either.

This leaves me in a massive rut! When I reply I get the "connection failed" popup, but eventually the reply will show up, if I am lucky. If I try to send another reply it freezes but will post double or triple replies, depending on the number of attempts.

WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD HAPPENED!?

Ah, thanks for the info. Without any the users cannot know what's going on, if the board is done for good, how much they should wait or if they should just give up and move to other chans. Or if you even know about the problems we're experiencing (you could be sleeping or working or whatever). Communication is essential. No one wants lengthy novels just a few words so we can keep calm. Uncertainty is shit.
