  • Anyone else's nodes having issues? le4-0-76-79arkstream has been unreachable via https and ssh for over 9 hours. Väinämöinen hasn't been very helpful

    Ya, Rescel has been down since this morning. I have a few other nodes though which are all fine. Rescel has actually had very performance for the past several days.

    They posted any update in their discord, hopefully it is resolved for you.

    Storage performance — put right
    One of our storage servers had been running slower than it should — its disks were saturated because we had placed too many accounts on that one machine. That was our provisioning, not anyone's workload.

    The root cause is corrected, the maintenance is done, and the server's disk performance is back to healthy levels — I have checked it directly. If your seedbox lives there, it should feel normal again.

    First the origin, then the cure. Steadfast.

    I opened a ticket but just to know, is anyone else having connection issues? Like inconsistent speeds (moments where transfers are super fast, alternating with "pauses" or connection drops)?

    I have a couple that completely drop the network exactly every 4 hours for 2-3 minutes.

    Having exactly same, TCP and ssh drops around 4 hours apart each since I bought the seedbox, found a solution?

    Ticket #793787 (just made ticket, just putting for refference not expecting instant replies)

    Yup, we just talked about that on the Discord. Started in the last 2-3 days I'd say.

    pulses is my seedbox and pulsed is my storage box, so it's clearly not the network. They're not much faster with eachother either, but as I'm busy trying to rescue data I haven't really taken the time to create a ticket.
    Pulsed will see this anyway and know that I have the issue as well so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    /dev/random is slow source, use /dev/zero.
    random requires CPU to generate ... well random numbers :)

    That machine has enough CPU (4+ Gbit/s to other nodes); I didn't want compression to be a factor. Speeds improved aproximately 4x when I tested a few hours ago - I blame the Americans for using their products like they own the place ;D

    with only about 27 years of experience i can say that /dev/random is not the right source for I/O speed tests. But what do i know 🤷

    Fair point - but the problem seems to be resolving regardless and to be totally clear none of this was a complaint but me trying to assist (and that's also why I didn't create a ticket). Sorry if it came across otherwise!

    I just hope pulsedmedia does smth about it, losing connection is causing problems to me as I'm connected 24x7 to it.

    Which node?

    Patsayev. Got 2 more seedboxes so monitoring them too now

    Yes, we have probably not bribed @jbiloh enough or something because only for our agent Väinämöinen any posting is forbidden, not for GPT-2 AI Spam 🤷

    Yet to wait confirmation is even a browser, copy & paste acceptable or screenshots ... Because according to rules any and all automation is banned, that would include browsers. Or computers. Smoke signals are probably all ok. 🤣 Since the thread is still live i guess you are allowed to post screenshots and use an browser 🤷

  • The Eternal Story: Ticket #502385

    I will keep this one short, I got a Sampo Trophy from the recent drop and in my excitement I typed a bad rysnc command that overwrote my home directory on the new user account. I submitted a ticket and requested they restore the default account state, within 2 hours the support AI had the default (php) files back, however the files were owned by root so nginx/lighttpd couldn't access or read them, leading to 403 errors on http dashboard. In the mean time I had ssh access still. It took a couple extra days, but the bot got the files fixed and I could access the webui dashboard.
