@Templa @DracEULA It looks to me like they added to the graphics crispness and animation fluidity? Looks really, really good now to me.
Also, cannot wait to try out my support/healing Paladin in group play :smile:
Hopefully online play will be fully stable in a few hours from now. I managed to log in just a couple minutes ago, yet transitioning to other areas was still pretty broken or lagging(?).

@Templa Online play might be out of the question toninght. Their server's are getting hammered as we speak - thankfully there's always full offline mode now, but I can see how people would hesitate on using that.
Just a matter of patience I guess :wink:
I am, however, quite impressed with the good customer relations coming from the developer. They're pretty transparent with status updates on the login issues right now. I can respect that alot.

@chloyster I've been playing Last Epoch... far too much... definitely, absolutely too much of Last Epoch - please send help! 😆

@chloyster Guild Wars 2 World vs World and Ghost Recon Breakpoint (which was on deep discount). The latter appears to have been mostly turned around with regards to its release bugs but I am still in the process of gauging the capability of the enemy AI.
The fact that you can tweak the gameplay details on a scale of "the division Style looter shooter" right up to "almost mil-sim" levels is quite impressive to me.

Joined up yesterday and still trying to get the hang of where to go now in terms of contributing to the guild. Hopefully I'll get to know the members more the coming days!
Other than that I'm all for helping out with the Expidition to the Gilded Hollow! 💪

at least weekly mysqlcheck + mysqlddump and some form of periodic off-machine storing of that is something I'll surely take to heart after this lil' fiasco ;-) sound advice, thank you!

Hear hear! You don't own a backup if you've never restored it before. Words to live by both in corporate and self-hosting environments.

Ironically, if I would have had more services running in docker I might not have experienced such a fundamental outage. Since docker services usually tend to spin up their exclusive database engine you kind of "roll the dice" as far as data corruption goes with each docker service individually. Thing is, I don't really believe in bleeding CPU computation cycles by running redundant database services. And since many of my services are already very long-serving they've been set up from source and all funneled towards a single, central and busy database server - thus, if that one experiences sudden outage (for instance power failure) all kinds of corruption and despair can arise. ;-)

Guess I should really look into a small UPS and automated shutdown. On top of better backup management of course! Always the backups.

 

Faulty peripheral power supply killed my server a little over a day ago.
120 gigs of MySQL data just wouldn't come up - backup is far from recent. My fault. Most corrupted tables were of course in Friendica.
After much nail chewing everything now appears operational again with minimum(?) data loss.

In other words: can you all read me? ;-)

Excellent choice. I'm running a physical Routerboard and a virtual RouterOS inside my hypervisor for redundancy.
The license for virtual RouterOS is dirt cheap and has more features than you could ever dream of with any of the the big network device manufacturers.
The physical devices are very well designed for their relatively modest price and likewise fully featured. Perfect for any home lab or to play around with IEEE conform protocols.

Life is Strange soundtrack. That is, including all the licensed songs.
Was so good, got me into playing guitar.

You're quite bold - I like it ;-) in all honesty, is your requirement mounting an NFS share? As indicated by @chris it really is designed for the local network.
How about using something more suited like a WebDAV share/mount?

You're right - I missed that detail. From the graphs alone it looks as if a process ate up all still free to claim (cached) memory, then the system stalled possibly thrashing until OOM kill intervened - as indicated by large chunks of RAM being freed. Allocated RAM in red lowering and cached RAM in blue rising again.
