@ben_lubar That's... more subtle than I was expecting; we're mostly under the 24-credit mark on the left (if only just), and mostly at/over on the right. Not the smoking gun I was hoping for, though, in terms of pining down a specific event.
@e4tmyl33t said in AWS issues:
I don't think that's how it works. You only earn credits if you're idle, not if it's under any sort of load. While you're burning credits, you don't earn any. At least that's how I read it.
It does; our credits accumulate regardless of usage, they are just spent immediately if we're using the CPU above the threshold.
AWS said in [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/t2-instances.html#t2-instances-cpu-credits]
Each T2 instance starts with a healthy initial CPU credit balance and then continuously (at a millisecond-level resolution) receives a set rate of CPU credits per hour, depending on instance size. The accounting process for whether credits are accumulated or spent also happens at a millisecond-level resolution, so you don't have to worry about overspending CPU credits; a short burst of CPU takes a small fraction of a CPU credit.
When a T2 instance uses fewer CPU resources than its base performance level allows (such as when it is idle), the unused CPU credits (or the difference between what was earned and what was spent) are stored in the credit balance for up to 24 hours, building CPU credits for bursting.
So, maybe we should talk short- and long- term fixes. @apapadimoulis, would you approve upgrading the instance class to t2.large to accommodate our current credit usage, until the forum can be moved out of AWS in December? If you wanted to crowd-fund the difference, I'm sure enough people (myself and @accalia at least) would donate.
@Yamikuronue Something is still different, though, or the credit balance would be bouncing back with the restart loop fixed and the bot banned.
According to Ben's graph, between 10:00 and 12:00 UTC we were using credits at a rate of about 28/hour, or a net loss of 4 credits per hour (we earn 24/hour), while in the 8-hour overnight period we gained credits at a rate of about 1.5/hour. If I've mathed correctly that's a net spend of about 50 credits per day. We can accumulate up to 576 credits. At this burn rate we run out of credits in only 12 days if we start with a full bank which is why I think something is still changed/wrong.
There's an actual CPU Credit Usage graph that @ben_lubar could pull with two weeks of history.
@ben_lubar Do the logs go sufficiently far back to determine what else has changed? If the bot were the sole cause of the high CPU usage, things should have returned to normal by now. They're definitely better than a couple days ago, but still not great.
What does the two-week credit usage look like? If there is a day where it suddenly changes, can it be reconciled with the access logs to find the cause?
@ben_lubar We'd need to move off the burstable t2 class and on to the m3 or m4 class. Or at least move to a t2.large which gets 36 credits/hour instead of 24.
@accalia said in AWS issues:
if it's money that's the problem i'm sure we could stump up a collection among the regulars to pitch in the 20$ or so that would be needed to refresh our CPU credits and get us back on our feet.
I almost started a GoFundMe yesterday, but I have no way of getting the money to @apapadimoulis
@ben_lubar can we afford to upgrade to a t2.large or even an m4.large?
@Tsaukpaetra We had trouble with our local Server Essentials DC a few months ago, and I did exactly that- a VPC in Amazon with a domain controller and a VPN link to/from the office. It's worked fabulously so far.

What the fuck?
Is it reskinned Windows, or some cheap Chinglish knockoff?
The clock looks a lot like IceWM, which has a few XP themes.
I agree with frostcat's answers, plus
- a form's CSRF token stay valid after page load?
At least a couple hours, so that one can write a fully-researched-and-crosschecked post without having to resort to notepad. A day?
- should this hypothetical forum have an API for use by bots?
Now that botmania has died down, the few that are floating around seem to be useful, like the mafia bot.
- <boomzillawtf> do they have to warn you even if the [HTTP] cookies are gluten free?
They should warn me especially if the cookies are gluten-free. :donotwant.pcx:
@swayde said in Blakeyrat's Kerbal Campaign, why not:
I've got 5 science since buying both t1 upgrades.
You actually have to right click on the science modules and perform the experiments at various stages of the flight. Same for getting a crew report - right click on the command module. The previously-linked wiki has an article about how to get science quickly. You also have to recover the science module at the end of the flight, unless you extract the science from the module (either by EVA or a transmitter).
@accalia said in Loud motorcycles dying?:
best answer i could find is "because it's harley"
Basically this. I let my bike warm up for 5-10 minutes, especially in the morning if I'm using it to commute to work. I'm not a complete jackass, though, so it's not a Harley and actually has a muffler, and therefore doesn't wake up the neighborhood.

@accalia Still, you might try upgrading us to a 2
Seriously though, @ben_lubar, I would really like to have notifications back. Also, I've noticed that hitting /unread seems to cause mild cooties. Or I have bad timing this morning.
@Tsaukpaetra A new post is available in this thread! Continue reading to see it.
Huh, so they re-invented the AlphaSmart
So it seems that the main objective of this thing is a way to part hipsters from their money.
Yeah, I added it to the wrong screen. JIRA is a "configure ALL the things" system, which is why it's been such a pain to get going.
Mostly.
Was going over the new issue screen, and guess what was a required field at the bottom? Resolution. D'oh. Back to the screen & workflow editors
That was really helpful. Writing the OP made something click about the setup, so hopefully it'll work well for us.
Edit: I get to give a company wide presentation about it in 20 minutes, yay!
Trac got ditched in favour of (first) FP, than (in parallel - still is!) Jira. I would highly NOT recommend the last two. Give Trac a go?
Too late. We switched from Fogbugz to JIRA a 2-3 weeks ago to save $$, and so far I'm having nothing but trouble getting it to do what I want.
The two biggest issues I'm having are was having were:
1: I cant get the Resolution field to do the right thing. I started with the "Agile software workflow" and added some additional transitions to set the field, but it doesn't work well, and it takes a lot of clicks. Closing out an issue as a duplicate, for example, takes ~10 clicks. Does anyone have suggestions for how to make it easier? I suppose I could add a transition button for every possible resolutionI need to build a screen for the more complicated transitions
2: I don't understand how the triage process is supposed to work. I added `Triage` as a status and have all issues going there upon creation. So far so good. Then when I sit down with the CEO in our weekly meeting (we're small) we do a search for Triage issues but the whole process is really clunkyI created a kanban board and a couple screens for the transitions out of triage, and it's a lot easier
So with those two big hurdles out of the way, what other gotchas should I be looking for? It seems like people here either love it or hate it - what has swayed you one way or the other? Now that I actually have the transitions working for me, I like it a lot better than FB.
Filed under: Thanks for being my rubber duck!, Nothing like spending 4 hours on a post
I'm not going to be able to solve that anytime soon.
Did they accept 7-zip as a solution, or do you still need help figuring this out?
I was reading a bit more about zip archive formats, and Windows 7+ should be able to open a Zip64 archive, so I think that whole conversation was a red herring.
node
So... node version differences? The working one was installed with 0.10.36, while the non-working one was installed via 0.12.4....
Seriously though - if you can manage to switch node versions on your staging box, maybe you can get a repro.
If you do mange to get a repro that way, it suggests that it really is one file corrupting the archive and you can hopefully bisect the tree to figure out which one. I'm not sure what you could do with that info since presumably you need that file, but at least you'd know.
That still leaves the possibility that it's a super-hard-to-trigger bug in either zip
or Windows' zip lib that won't bisect - you'll split the tree in half and be able to open both zips. If that happens I'll buy you some
Huh. If your zip
doesn't support Zip64 then that probably isn't the issue. This is Windows 2k8?
Does your man page mention Zip64 at all? I don't see -fz- listed in the option flags list, only in the paragraph about Zip64 towards the top.
I almost suggested this as well, definitely worth a shot if -fz- doesn't do it.
From the man page:
Large Archives and Zip64. zip automatically uses the Zip64 extensions when files larger than 4 GB are added to an archive, an archive containing Zip64 entries is updated (if the resulting arβ chive still needs Zip64), the size of the archive will exceed 4 GB, or when the number of entries in the archive will exceed about 64K. Zip64 is also used for archives streamed from standard input as the size of such archives are not known in advance, but the option -fz- can be used to force zip to create PKZIP 2 compatible archives
I would give the -fz- option a try. How many files are in ./components?
I can't wait to see how that one turns out, as long as Idon't get caught in the blast...make TL3 so I can post all the gory details in the lounge.

I hijacked an unused bookshelf, moved it into my office, and it's piled full of snacks and treats.
That looks like our Communal Bookshelf of Weight Gain, which is mostly full of candy, chips, and other high-calorie low-nutrition items. Also hot sauces, which are very important.
I have that working on one of my laptops. Join it to a domain like normal, then when you try to access the feedback app it will prompt you to sign in to MS and remember your credentials.
I don't think you actually have to be logged in to MS to get insider builds, it's just the feedback app and notifications that really need it.
Fire TV looks okay to my uninformed eyes (I don't TV at all).... What else is out there? What's good? What's not?
I have an original Roku and a Fire TV. The Fire TV is much more capable than the Roku, but in this case that's probably it's biggest weakness - it presents lots of options, while the Roku has a much simpler UI. If your dad doesn't us a smartphone, then the Fire TV will probably be way too complicated.
I find that going all-online-streaming generally increased the quality of what I watch - I have to put effort into the selection rather than just turning on $FAVORITE_CHANNEL and leaving it - so I ended up watching more documentaries and whatnot than I did before.

I wish. Then I could have just opened the db console and :whupsie: no more votes.
I just set up a new forum as well. I ran a trial between nodebb and discourse and the users picked discourse even though I was trying to make node come out ahead.
It's sad, really, and not at all funny.
Interesting, sounds like I'll have to give it another go, then.
Ugh cable companies. I wish I was in an area served by Hurricane Electric, those guys seem to know what they're doing. They came to a local linux conference a few years ago and did a series of talks on the IPv6 transition. They also offer a great & free tunnel service.
The last time I tried to use IPv6 from Comcast they still weren't issuing a routable /64, only a /128. :soupnazi.pcap:
Before traffic clears and allows me to make the turn, the idiot bicyclist pulls up adjacent on my right side as if to pass me (although there was no lane there) and go thru the red light, despite me having my right turn signal on
Obviously signalling your intention to turn was microagressing her, you jerk.
i really like the nexus 6 stats but it's so fucking big
It took a week or two for my fiance and I to get used to our Nexus 6es. Now that I'm used to it though (it's been about a month), I wouldn't go back. My old phone was a nexus 4; I picked it up the other day and it's tiny.
Wow. Installing my test discoinstance back in the early bot days wasn't quite that hard, but it definitely want just grab an image and go.
Filled under: first mobile post, how do you people put up with this ui?
I would still rate @mikeTheLiar as worse than a hot boring day .
<no offense...
summer was mordor
I find boredom worse than stress.
We spent this past summer with no A/C. Every time we reported how hot it was in the office to the building manager (80Β°F by noon or so- this was Seattle's hottest summer on record) they'd send a lackey out who would "look" at the unit, then report the problem was that we have "too many computers" and leave despite the fact there was no cold air flowing from the vents. They finally got it fixed (blown fuse) right about the time the weather turned cooler.
Slow/boring days were the worst. If you're super busy you don't have time to think about how hot you are.
