Hi everyone, long time no post. I see someone made thread IV, that's exciting. Work has been very busy, but things are starting to slow down for a bit.
We have a site statistics tracker now: http://prod6.orain.org/ganglia/ Only one day of data shows high memory use seems to be a surprisingly regular phenomenon, as in periodic at 20 minutes. Hopefully we can shake out why 504 errors are so gorram common.
I've suggested increasing the server plan, because more hardware covereth a multitude of sins -- at least to see if it would help. After all, hardware is cheaper than programmer/sysop time. Right now, Orain's Digital Ocean plans work out to be 480US$ annually, the vast majority of which is supporting ATT. Not that the relationship isn't symbiotic. Anyway, a server increase would be an additional $5 a month, or one less complete Sub Club card over a year. Honestly, I think the entire amount of $540 would be trivial to fundraise, for reasons that include the fact that I could probably just give half of that without even noticing it. I mean one less Spicy Italian B.M.T. a week -- I'm pretty sure I could live without that insofar as I don't actually like Subway and $20 a month is pretty trivial in the first world.
That's not really a call for donations, but really just a point that we need to start thinking about supporting our costs, and how we would go about that. And we might be able to afford a little more luxury with server abilities.
