Everytime this happens I think “oh this is it”.

I felt like something was missing all day, because I couldnt talk to you faggots. Really glad to have this place.

[ - ] Sector7 12 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 16:51:30 ago (+12/-0)

Turning into real voat.

[ - ] system 8 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 16:56:05 ago (+8/-0)

Not sure what's going on. The site just stopped loading around the same time yesterday and today. No clear reason why. Seems ok now.

[ - ] ParnellsUprising 3 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 16:58:57 ago (+3/-0)

So are you just rebooting the server, and it comes back up?

[ - ] system 3 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 17:00:56 ago (+3/-0)

Yes.

[ - ] ParnellsUprising 4 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 17:20:17 ago (+4/-0)

You might want to try and set the slow-query log, and review your db logs.

I am wondering next time if you just try and restart the database, and see if that works, at least it will narrow your issue down. Then try the web server if the db does not work.

Not sure how much sysadmin skills you have, but also check your load avg next time prior to rebooting. That might give you a hint if you see the load is high, then you can start looking at processes that are taking up the majority of resources.

Let me know if you need any help with that, but there are plenty of resources on the web.

[ - ] system 2 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 18:00:38 ago (+2/-0)

Not sure how much sysadmin skills

I've never worked in a professional setting and my knowledge is scattered, networking stuff is my weakest link.

I can still access the DB when it does this so I don't believe it's the issue. It's like a port is getting jammed or something.

[ - ] ParnellsUprising 3 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 19:06:38 ago (+3/-0)

Yeah, I would start with restarting the services first, and see where that gets you.

Once you can isolate it to which the part of the stack, at least that will give you a little more info where you should start looking.

Understand also, that as root, you may still be able to connect to a database, yet it may not be processing other connections, due to the privileged nature of root super cedes other lesser connections.

Anyways, uptime is your friend for load avg.

As long as your load avg is 2 or below, it should be safe to use the top command. Ideally, once it is above that, it is generally not advised to use top, as that is a resource intensive command. Then you should solely rely on the ps command. i.e ps aux | sort -nrk 3,3 | head -n 5

With top, you can look at what is consuming Memory vs CPU via the sorting function. It would probably be a good idea to at least familiarize yourself with those commands as a start.

I could tell you weren’t a pro when I noticed my bits weren’t getting feeled.

Have you tried turning the server off and then on again?

You should do one of a fake wife holding a baby. You know, for the snipers to have some fun with too.

Yeah, Mary in finance messed up the accounts payable spreadsheet so Florence in HR laid off all the voat IT staff last week due to no funding. The whole voat corporate office is up in arms and some are even threatening to quit the donut club over this.

[ - ] lord_nougat 6 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 17:46:13 ago (+6/-0)

I've been working in the voat basement without pay for months now already!

And system stole my stapler!

Was it the red Swingline? I did it. It's quite svelte and never jams.

He's off to the beach now, drinking fruity drinks with umbrellas while we're stuck with just a smashed up printer/scanner.
Oh, the travesty.

If you could take care of the roaches while you're down there, that's be great

Has anyone talked to Phil? He's the black janitor, pretty based.

[ - ] lord_nougat 4 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 17:47:00 ago (+4/-0)

I tried but he chimped out and murdered me.

[ - ] MuricaPersonified 3 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 18:45:17 ago (+3/-0)

Really? All he did to me was pull out his HiPoint and demand my wallet.

HR said it was a "forcible donation" and I should check my privilege.

I thought they all died

[ - ] AugustineOfHippo2 2 points 1.3 yearsJan 27, 2023 20:10:47 ago (+2/-0)

Their sudden death was blamed on the donuts, cause you know, donuts are killers.

Someone said the other day about how voat is run by fbi and that's why it always stays up so the fbi caught wind of this and took the site down to look legit.

I was looking on other sites for any clues these past 2 days. Are there any plan b type sites for this place. Poal blows and I won't do reddit. I'm mostly illiterate when it comes to this stuff.

We should resurrect the gab group or make a new one or something, for emergency usage.

A day ago there was a thread about an imminent nuclear attack on US soil. For 48 hours after, stability of the site is very low. Really makes one think.
