Imports (Was: {brace yourselves} the import is coming {Spoiler Alert: Not all of it} [i.e. blakeyrat was not utterly wrong for the first time ever] Filed under: append-only titles.)
-
Not RO for me.
-
Never mind then, Situation Normal: Discourse Fucked Up.
Seems it's gone after a reload, but not any sooner.
-
Why is there still a "Site is read-only" notice floating around? Did the script crash again?
I don't believe the script has done anything for a couple weeks. What you saw was likely related to the daily backup.
-
Discoruse: Because sometimes things happen because other things caused other things to happen first...
-
If Discourse ever gets to a state where it doesn't vomit all over redis every time a large number of posts are inserted, this will be revisited.
I thought @sam fixed the memory leak?
20.times do 5000.times { |i| PrettyText.cook("hello world") } MemoryProfiler::Helpers.full_gc puts "rss: #{rss} live objects #{GC.stat[:heap_live_slots]}" end
Considering that cooking posts is what the import is doing...
-
-
If I have time at some point, I should figure out what it's spamming redis with to begin with.
What is redis storing in the first place, the cooked posts?
-
In the context of an import it should be storing close to nothing. Its just there as a cache and non critical data storage. caches / rate limiters / message bus channels etc.
-
Its just there as a cache and non critical data storage.
I was wondering if it was storing cooked posts. Those are technically non-critical, but an import could easily trigger their creation, and a bulk import would end up kicking out lots of the other things cached in redis, triggering the cooties (as suddenly RoR starts having to work really hard).It's a theory anyway.
-
cooking was triggering a memory leak (now fixed) which happened a lot during import and made the server run out of memory, cooked is just stored in the posts table.
-
So we should try it again is what you're saying?
-
I look forward to many more months of constant failures before I can read my fucking post.

It's important to keep a positive attitude.

Actually, yesterday I found, by coincidence, two threads from 2006-7 that I had posted in. So there's at least three threads that made it.
I don't know if they're complete, but at least 117newold threads were created.
-
I don't know if they're complete, but at least 117 <del>new</del> <ins>old</ins> threads were created.

And that's not even counting the other 9 categories that have been somewhat imported.
-
Thousands remain. We've covered 2005, part of 2006, and a smidge of 2007.
-
I don't know if they're complete, but at least 117 new old threads were created.
There are lots. On March 21 (according to my past self) we had 273.6K posts. We now have 382.9K. Obviously some of those were new, but a lot weren't.
-
We've gotten into 2008. For instance:

Sounds like the pace of this place has warmed up. By 109.3 Kelvin!
-
109.3 Kelvin!
That looks like it should be an FM radio station: "Chill out with FM 109.3 Kelvin, KLVN, Nome, Alaska!"
INB4 pendantry: FM broadcast only goes to 108MHz; 109.3MHz is in the aeronautical radionavigation band. 109.3K is colder than even Nome. (The lowest recorded temperature was 184.0K at the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica, and that wouldn't have a K... call sign.) KLVN is actually in Livingston (East of Modesto), CA
-
Except that we warmed up by 109.3 Kelvin, and presumably we weren't at absolute zero before.

Boomzilla stated that we were just above the triple point of water.

Interesting how that onebox shows a proper degree sign for °C, but a masculin ordinal indicator for ºF.
It's as if the hidden message is that Imperial units are manly!

Neither use the proper UNICODE character. I am disappoint.

As am I, but I'm less dissapoint by °C than by the ºF monstrosity.

At least it's not that °K monstrosity I got that one time. Yes, °F is bad, but °K? REALLY?

What's the autoignition point of °㎭ in °K?
Does it matter? Just use some gasoline and a match.
-
What are your feelings about angles measured in °㎭?
That would be a mistake, a dimensionality error. Normal angles are not measured in square radians (or anything that's a dimensionless-multiplier of ㎭2). Now, you could measure a solid angle with that unit, but it'd be more normal to use a steradian instead.
That combination of multi-glyph character and normal superscript renders weird here… but doing it with “㎭²” is even worse! Guess we've still got years to go before font authors really get their Unicode shit together properly…
-
Yeah the mem leak fix is in.

Look: the offer's made. If you idiots want to stop doing this stupid import and host the old forum in read-only mode on an AWS Micro instance, I'll pay the bills. EDIT: Hell I'll even do the setup and monitoring, if Alex provides me the files and does the DNS directing.
The offer has been followed-up on.
The old forums are alive and well (in read-only mode) at: http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/ and will be for at least the next 3 years or until I get hit by a bus (and then subsequently something happens at AWS to offline the server.)
Now I can finally and at long-last link to that Java thread I was talking about: http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/t/25396.aspx?PageIndex=1
Oh and BTW, Google's ALREADY re-crawling it:

And guess what the most recent thread is?

It's probably important to preserve this for posterity: blakeyrat apologizing for something:

I waited 3 minutes for SignatureGodzilla to move.
Shhh! There's a lot of people here that maybe didn't know it's animated; it spoils the "startle factor" if you know it moves.
Joke ruiners, all over.

Whoops. All these years I never knew it did that.

When is the next scheduled import pass?
-
I don't have SSH access to the new server.
-
Hopefully never, and delete the shit that WAS imported, and forget about this dumb project entirely forevermore.
-
Do you really plan to delete the return of Swampy?

I don't know what you're talking about, I don't care, and that stupid thread was never funny in the first place.
