Getting connection refused trying to download the new nvidia driver off of US-2

Same thing.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Is the DDOS attack still going on?

 

[Super Firm Tofu]

It appears the issue is only with us2-dl. The other options are up and spittin' files like a mofo.

Fixed server was hung. I did get the "server down" monitoring email, but forgot to look into it

Nope, all good

 

[N/A]

Not a real issue. but the transparency of my profile image does not apply everywhere or if applied sticks to the master layer underneath. Next to this field.

I'm getting really, really slow image uploading and downloading here
I'll time how long this one takes

9 seconds to upload (20Mb upload speed)
at 90 seconds i gave up, it never loaded the completed image. Trying to post warned me it was still uploading, until i did the delete/insert trick





Side note, if they get resized or if i click or move away, things break - the image uploads but the preview gets stuck in a never ending 'uploading' state. I have to delete the image from the post, then insert and choose thumbnail/full image from below
Even changing tabs can trigger that oddity, somehow
(Actually this may be a red herring as i resized an image being uploaded in another thread and it worked fine - they may just time out and give me this 'loading' bug more often than i thought)

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
So uploading is like the itsy bitsy spider on the socket

Lots of oops something happened to on post reply here maybe ublock messing things up again TPU is yeller :/

 

[Blaeza]

Images are being loaded in chunks, seems a bit unresponsive too.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Thinking it's fixed. I just loaded a bunch of pages with high-res images, no issues.

TPU put me in a wrong timezone:

Partial explanation: since I got IPv6 a couple months ago, some websites think I'm in Australia. However, I reach TPU over IPv4, and if I ask public geolocation services where my IPv4 and IPv6 are, they're both in Slovenia. Timezone in my profile is set correctly but the displayed time is the same whether I log in or not.

Turn IPV6 off in Windows. PC's don't need IPV6.

they sure as heck do
websites and downloads are faster, and steam can use it so i dont need static port forwards with only a single machine in the house capable of hosting games

I've updated our IP database, hope it's working correctly now. Also click the time in the top right of the main site, it'll open a dropdown letting you change the timezone

Yes, now it's correct. (But it was funny when the above example changed from "Today, 18:00" to "Yesterday, 18:00" a couple hours later - after midnight in Australia)

It appears correct. I notice that the list of timezones is different from the list in profile preferences. In preferences I've chosen (UTC+01:00) Central European Time but here, the list is longer.

Yeah, one list is provided by the forums, made by XenForo, the other one on the main site is made by me

 

[Solaris17]

Click where exactly? I don't see it

 

[lexluthermiester]

Not at all.

websites and downloads are faster

No, they are not.

That might be true, but it's not like IPV4 can't do the same thing.

Not one system in my home is running IPV6 and everything runs perfectly. It's not faster, it's not more secure. It only provides a greater single use address base. That's it. IPV6 is not required in the home, at all. Full stop.

Bringing that back on topic, TPU will run fine regardless of whether someone is using IPV4 or IPV6.

 

[W1zzard]

TPU does not support IPv6 btw, because no reason to do so and it just complicates everything. You have a v4 address anyway, or your ISP will do the translation, because otherwise the internet will appear broken and you will not pay them

 

[lexluthermiester]

because no reason to do so and it just complicates everything.

Exactly. Endpoints have no need to use IPV6, whether it's a website, a small business or home user. I'm guessing you do this for similar reasons I do, to keep things simple & easy to control and manage.

But I digress, sorry for the distraction.

No worries, I think that's exactly the point of this thread, not only report issues, but talk about how we do things here, as always ama

I was just searching the SSD database quite quickly, and suddenly the site stopped loading for at least 5 mins (timed out). Website up checkers all said it was fine. Did I trigger a request limit in a firewall somewhere or something, or did others have the problem?

Yeah, you hit a rate limit. The ajax search is limited to 30 searches in 2 minutes, typing quickly will exceed that, so I've increased to 60 requests in 2 minutes

I've seen that too and thought it's a network error or something ... Is it possible to make it more user friendly? I see the firewall responds with a HTTP status "429 Too Many Requests". Can you tweak the client code to indicate that the poor PEBKAC would better slow down?

When using text search, too? in one of the databases?

Yes, it just freezes, so some message would be welcome, like "Too many searches in a short time".
