Brief (10min) downtime ahead AGAIN - 2nd one (all done)

Postby [violet] » Thu Sep 17, 2020 10:03 pm

Gameside will be out of action for about 10 minutes after the daily update concludes, i.e. around 10:45pm PDT, so we can replace an aging disk drive.

Edit: All done. We'll do another one in a day or two. Thanks for your patience.

Edit 2: Actually we have an opportunity to do the next one now and get it over with. So another 10-minute hit of downtime is coming up shortly.

Edit 3: All done. For reals.

I knew NS was running smoother this morning when I logged on! Fancy new drive is doing good.

There's always tech work being done of one sort or another. We tend to alert the players only when there's something that directly impacts them, like downtime.

Aging infrastructure needs to be replaced to keep up with demand, as I understand it. NS, especially gameside NS, hosts thousands of users, and it wasn't built to support that many people at once.

Adding onto this; this is also (possibly) why you hardly se major changes to the site overall.

This wasn't the secret 20gb drive from 2002 was it? The one with Max's plan to take over the world in 5 easy steps?

Please tell me you backed it up.

Imagine instead of minor updates the whole NS site gets some dope formatting and new page layouts.
Something that WOULDNT be changed at all but it’s a fun thought.
