Just upgraded the Tapatalk API here - it was a minor upgrade from 4.5.1 to 4.5.2, so it may not have any effect, but let me know if it makes things better/worse/no change. Cheers Mike

Thanks, I'll do some digging and see what I can find.

Good news folks, I moved us to a new, improved database server, and pre-paid the next 3 years. Performance should be a bit better now, and as always if you have any issues just let me know. Cheers Mike

I’d also add https://valleyevents.ca to the list. (It happens to be co-hosted here, too!)

Yeah, incognito/private browsing may also cause that issue in some cases.

That message usually appears when you have multiple tabs open doing multiple things at once. For example if I'm drafting a post, and then open up a new tab to browse the forums, I'm likely to get that message.

Agreed! It's a low commitment way to help out. If you found useful info here, consider being part of the solution. Thanks!

Hopefully green across the board as of today. If you still have issues please let me know! (Somehow...)

A big part of the issue was that yesterday, I enabled only TLSv3. This morning I enabled both v2 and v3, so folks should have better luck. :)

Hi AbdullahD, got the transfer, thanks for the support! If you PM me your shirt size and mailing address I'll get one in the mail for you. Thanks again!

Well folks, yesterday I activated a new security feature, which caused some problems. For those who care, I enabled TLSv3, which is the latest encryption protocol. It's the "s" in https. Currently, just about everywhere uses TLSv2, but I enabled v3 in addition. The problems stemmed from a few...

Just finished Dawn of the Code War: America's Battle Against Russia, China, and the Rising Global Cyber Threat by John Carlin. A very USA-centric take on Cybersecurity, which makes sense as he was the US Assistant Attorney General for National Security. I found it did a good job of tying...

Chased down a high CPU issue and either fixed it... or didn't. :)

Agreed, I was getting crash notifications every hour (or sometimes many per hour) before, now there are none. I have seen a small spike in server load (~20) once since the rebuild, but nothing compared to the 100+ load we were often seeing before. Fingers crossed I haven't broken something else...

Stats for November... worst we have had in a long time: CHECK NAME UPTIME DOWNTIME OUTAGES RESPONSE TIME Army.ca Alive 92.91% 51h 05m 22s 554 680 ms So far the "light" rebuild of yesterday seems to have addressed the stability issues though, so December is shaping up to be much better. Thanks...

Yes and no. The server has been crashing almost hourly in recent days, so it was more likely that. No crashes since the rebuild, which is promising.

OK folks, did a quick server rebuild, it may help with the issues we are seeing. If not, I will have to actually scrap the current server and build a new  one from scratch. That'll take some time, and there isn't much of that in my schedule these days, so please bear with me! Thanks Mike

There are still some issues with the site, related to the upgrade. The web service crashes and hangs on a pretty regular basis. It's set to automatically restart but still causes a couple minutes of downtime at each crash. I may have to rebuild the server from scratch at some point.  :-\

Yeah, we are seeing some performance issues, I'm chasing them down.
