Fixed. Normally the forums will save and cache all external images. I changed it so that https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com is excluded from that and it will fetch the images directly

All a person has to do is ask...Yer wonderful. Thank you

Had a number of 502s around 5 minutes ago. Lasted a couple of minutes

Yup, looks like a big database write lagged things

Just saw a few 502's.

Yeah I've been migrating stuff all morning

Edit: Pretty long outage this time .. not exactly sure what happened, still the last part of the migration to finish

Edit 2: all finished. No more Netmaker/Wireguard in our network. Switched to Calico with IPIP

Yeah saw that.

Just had another spot were the site didn't respond at all, no 502 nor any other error message.

Confirmed, I saw this too. One of our five etcd instances was hung for like 30 seconds and crashed after that. Still unexpected that this could hang the site. Ticket opened with the hosting company to figure out why.

Overall I'm super happy though, site is chugging along nicely, page load a bit faster than before

Its been doing so well after the switch to ubuntu. The performance was great during the nvidia launch. And the Intel one. 502's for a few seconds now are much preferred over the downtime that used to happen.

On my SAMSUNG A53 5G on Firefox the icons to post are Greyed out (even on website version option)

RJARRRPCGP · Feb 15, 2025

It just hung for a long time, oof!

It was like dial-up, or like the JS was hung.

Just curious...If a person posted a thread and it got moved to a "Lounge".
A lounge the Newbie can't access...
How much time will it probably take for that newbie (me) to access this "lounge"?

That's a great question and we've been discussing the Lounge internally a few days ago, too.

I changed it so that the forum is now open for all registered members

And new members should understand the lounge still follows TPU guidelines for new threads and posts.

SmookinJoe · Monday at 8:23 AM

I guess the question is...
~~WHERE IS IT?~~... :confused:

Let me rephrase that please...
Where might a fellow run across this Lounge you speak of?

Links/articles from TPU don't seem to embed on discord?

As it's my typical go-to for tech news, whenver I link articles people often don't notice (because apparently peoples attention these days only seems to focus on content if there's an embed!)

....so I often get moaned at for linking from TPU

Same with pictures i.e. linking a teardown image from a GPU for reference on a discussion, usually ends up being easier to right click -> copy -> paste into discord

When You right click don't you get choices..Like "copy link"?

This comes up from time to time, but I have no idea what causes it or how to debug it.

@W1zzard
Since the Lounge has been brought up - any plans on making it so that threads from it pop up on What’s New? I find the feature really useful to get a quick look on what’s being discussed currently at any moment, especially on mobile. But, to my knowledge, Lounge threads don’t show up on it? At least I think they don’t?

No plans, this is a tech forum

Cool, just checking. Just found it weird that it was the one exception of a sub-forum.

I think they are trying to keep it at arm's length
