Came here to say Maui Jim won’t be up to fix the cert for a while, and here he is already having turned the server off and on again.

Anyone else have the DT Ukraine thread crash every time you load? iPhone on chrome 

I think it's Miller's massive tweet dumps. Pages are loading upwards of a hundred tweets per page, mobile browsers are gonna start to choke

I appreciate what he’s doing but it makes the thread almost unreadable when you are just trying to scan it for new news. I don’t think we need to see every post about a tank or whatever that’s another trophy.

@immamac you might want to unplug everything for :25, then plug back in. Or give the server the old RCA slap. (I am clearly a sophisticated computer person.)

Anyone else remember the smell of the old tubes in the back of your TV or amplifier?

I think you pull it out, blow on it, and put it back in.  Worked for my N64 games back in the day.

As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.

any time someone wants to have their shit hidden or disassociated with their account and they have like 20k posts it fucks things up. 

[laughs in ElasticSearch sharding]

But real talk, how long does it really take SurlyCluster to delete by query? Or is it just overwhelming the write node for the site combined with normal site activity?

Did lobo go bye-bye?

I was wondering why there were a ton of posts by "Guest" when I was browsing last night. Guessing this is the reason. Anyone know the backstory here?

It merges all the posts individually then drops them. On the MySQL side it's efficient, but each query hits the ES index to update and since the 20k posts are scattered about and it's LSM based I think it just barfs. It's a horribly written routine from the server software.

Deleting 10 to 15 Lobo posts probably saves Imma a few TBs of storage space.

I was gonna say, that's a lot of long winded content to purge.  Holy shit.

When someone asks for all of their posts to be deleted, shouldn't the response be no?

I could understand if someone was drunk, posted their phone number and asked for that post to be delete. But thousands of posts? Nope.

Funny that Lobo and his natural enemy, Rex Kramer, both asked for their accounts to be nuked because of something that was on here that must've reached them or someone they didn't intend to see their stuff out there.

Yeah, I was out of town for Easter and had no internet access (which was awesome, btw). What precipitated Lobo leaving?

he accidentally clicked into the CR

I don't have too much sympathy for someone that outs themselves on here. Isn't it usually related to someone bragging about their life?

Now if someone else doxes you on here because they know you IRL, that's something else.

This is like the second time he's done this. If he'd post less revealing shit about himself or not so much of it, he wouldn't need to keep doing this.

What a maroon.

But then, how would he namedrop?

Also, I agree with the point here.  It's great that you're nice and allow this, but maybe you only get one free one and after that, the rex's and cruiser's have to live with it.

Is there some database of people that have financed used Corvettes in the last 5-6 years? Asking for a friend

Yeah, but when he bailed out on the @NowThis handle he didn't bork the board by asking to have all of his posted scrubbed.

I'm noticing that if a page doesn't refresh soon after hitting "submit" you get double/triple posts, but nagivating away from the page a moment after "submit" usually results in just a single post

Goddamn lobo must've had a shitload of longposts to fuck the site up for two days just to scrub his digital presence.

I'm also surprised that the board software vendor has written such inefficient code lol - querying ES for each post and deleting individually rather than delete by query for lobo's user ID is some shit

Edit: not to get too nerdy, but I'd bet what's instigating the sluggish behavior is replication lag between shards for propogating changes to the SurlyIndex. Lets do some shard sizing and cluster optimization! In all the free time you have between work and a kid, of course

I did that last time I redid the cluster - there is exactly 1 index and it's used for everything not just posts. The way the forum software uses elasticsearch is fucking stupid, but it's way better than using mysql for search which is the only other option.
