  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
The site has crashed like 20 times in the last week because TOR has cycled to a Swedish node.
Site stops working, I check the circuit, Swedish node (usually guard node at time of crash).
I reset it, every other countrys' nodes work.
I have no idea if this is relevant but I figured I'd report it since it's a pattern I'm recognizing.
 
I'm having issues uploading videos. It will let me upload a couple of videos but then the Uploading dialog becomes unresponsive when I attempt to do more. Something that seems to be happening is that while I'm in the Edit view of my post it will sometimes start playback of one of the other videos within the same post and this seems to flood the connection. I was also only able to upload at about 250kb/s today. I'm in eastern Australia metro area for reference. Additionally for some reason text like "0:00-:-2:391x0%0:00-:-2:391x0%0:00-:-2:391x0%" appears after my embedded videos and continues to change and add as I edit the post. I cannot delete this text as it reappears after I save the edit to remove it.

Overall the site seems a little slow. It seems pretty browsable but that slight lag seems somewhat tied to the issues I'm having with trying to upload.

*edit* Ok it definitely seems like whenever I try edit a post with embedded videos it starts preloading the entire video while in the Edit view, which in turn seems to be flooding things and preventing the upload from starting. You can see the download progress of the videos illustrated in the screenshot below and sure enough on Netlimiter it's pulling down a whole bunch of unnecessary data.

I'm getting frequent errors leaving reactions, with the console indicating that the request was stopped by Kiwiflare, and then reloading the page will usually just work without even giving me the Kiwiflare challenge.

.net (using Tor, if that matters)

edit: jesus christ, I spoke a moment too soon. Now I'm getting looping Kiwiflare challenges on every pageload.

I'm using Un-VPN'd firefox .net and getting a lot of "Oop's there was a problem" on most site functions. I feel like I see this kind of issues during DDOS attacks

There's an extremely frustrating thing where the library I'm using for CQL is just returning no results for queries instead of erroring, which is what it's doing. Restarting the webserver fixes it, which makes me assume there's some sort of connection problem, but I don't know how I'd address that. Without it erroring correctly there's no way to even check.

Is there a way to write the query so that it will return "this OR that," where "that" is just an "it worked" row from the database, so you always expect a minimum of 1 row and can tell whether the query even ran successfully?

Cassandra is a pain in the dick because of all the ways connections can shit the bed. I've got no idea what your topology looks like, but maybe give data stax Cassandra error handling docs a look.
For as much as I hate companies who have some weird incestuous relationship with open source projects, they have decent docs for shit like this.
 
The main page seems use more memory the longer the tab remains open. Starts off at about 70MB and after a few hours its using over 1GB.
Not a big deal since viewing threads doesn't have this problem. Using .st
