Buffistas Building a Better Board
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Sorry -- I didn't know you'd verified the theory. Have you submitted it to the developers?
Cereal confusion:
I figured out why ita's explicit closes were needed
But didn't that bug of mine you pointed out, which wasn't fixed until after our connection usage dropped mean that the explicit closes weren't responsible?
I don't know that there really has been a positive change. Turning off the quotes can't have helped much. I do think our hosts changed their configuration in a way that made the leaking connections much less lethal to the server.
Rob, feel free not to believe me. I'm not arguing the point with you.
Did the board just go away for everyone else?
It did for me.
Apparently the mere suggestion of turning the quote generator back on has the power to crash the board. Oy.
Have you submitted it to the developers?
I haven't submitted anything anywhere.
But didn't that bug of mine you pointed out, which wasn't fixed until after our connection usage dropped mean that the explicit closes weren't responsible?
I think our connection usage dropped because whe now have a much shorter idle connection timeout than we did during the bad times. The default, which is 8 hours, which would let us easily get 200 connections sitting idle. The current timeout is 5 minutes, which would make it harder to get to 200 idle connections.
The Quote of the Day(once ita has time) seemed like a cool idea that would protect us if the refreshing quote was doing damage. I agree with whoever said it'd be like having a theme for each day.

I justgot this message while hitting "read new". Is it important?
Yeah, I got one of those too.
