Website running slow

[markus]

or you give wide access rights and then you risk that someone can, even by accident, delete whole server, or database or something like that.

Hello,

sorry, but I disagree on that point.
I am an OCP (Oracle Certificated Professional), and I know that the 'privileges' of an Admin can be set VERY fine grained, in an Oracle database, but also in the popular free databases like Mariadb.
Setting the 'privileges' to what a secondary-admin needs to solve problems on the server-side isn't that hard, setting those correctly plus having a daily database backup (which should be needless to say) makes it kinda bullet-proof against such an accidental 'delete-the-whole-server'-thing.

And I'm sure that any of us could delete a lot.

Your company should look for a new main-server-admin if that's the case, seriously.

It's different in community projects like this. You must trust others or have control.

Here I agree on the trust, of course it's a whole different case to give some stranger from the internet access to your database as it would be to give that to someone you are working together in a company, even if that access is limited (fine grained).

On the other hand, BECAUSE this is 'JUST' a community project, the data in the database is by far not that sensitive as data in a company-database, ... yes, still there MUST be trust, ... but I have the impression that this forum has some long-time members which could be trusted and which showed that they are quite professional as well.

If it continues like this, I think a Milovana replacement will be inevitable.

That was my main point, ... and better now, as long as this site is still accessible to have the possibility to share such a alternative website-address, than when it's too late.
I still hope that this will not be needed, but to have a 'backup' shelter - just in case - so that the users of this great community can keep in touch elsewhere if the worst case happens seems a better idea each day passes without that nothing happens here to repair the issues.

If they dont know whats the issue then they dont have a competent web dev on their team. Any competent web dev would have fixed this already, websites go down occassionaly here and there but majority of the time they get fixed the same day or next day.
For this to go on this long it just tell me that either nobody is even working on the problem or the person who is doesnt know how to fix it.

This.



Best greetings and let's cross our fingers that this forum/page will be back soon in it's full glory,

Markus

Of course you are right that it can be done, and it should be done in professional projects. But here we don't know how much time and knowledge our admin has. Anyway, we will see what happens .

Okay, this is a bit longer than expected. Moving into the "site might actually die" territory :/
I hope it doesn't, and if it does, I hope there will be an archive of content, so someone can set up a successor site.

Now I'm not ungrateful or impatient. It's just how these things go..
Been visiting here probably round a decade, huge thanks to Seraph0x as well as tease creators for what they do

For context, the last time we had a major site issue, the site wasn't just slow with issues it straight up didn't work for a whole month, and many of us did assume it was gone for good.

The fact it's still half-functional, while clearly not ideal, is a lot better than last time

No updates sadly, but I'm sure we will all notice as soon as there is one.

Well, I noticed that it's a little faster now, so I'm racing to update the download page now.

I am quite sure that there is a backup of the database, ... but when I see how 'professional' all of this is handled, I am also quite sure that the only one who has access to that backup is again only the one and only, ... so in case that one doesn't show up again, all the backups will rot unused.

Maybe the users here should think about to download / backup what can be downloaded /rescued already, ... stuff with direct links are easy, for webteases there is a downloader:

(I did already some downloads / backups for what's seem important to me, but no teases)


Best greetings,

Oh ? feels like the website is much more responsive now. Still broken css for the forum, but the pages load much faster

It's been going in and out, there are times performance seems normal and other times the delay has inconsistent and sometimes worse than it was before this all started.

[puste]

But now it seems the issue has been solved. Today it is runnig much faster and interface look normal.
Thanks for this great work that has certainly been done in this.

[SeleniumBurger]
