Site is pretty responsive right now, but whenever I hit the post button, it's a 15-20sec lag before it actually submits. Probably part of the re-indexing, but just a heads up.

Scott, do you think this might be a symptom of all the Server work that was done today? Many of the pictures Ilya took down in Boca Chica at the Starbase show up like this:

I’m not sure a delete cache would clear this up as these images shouldn’t be cache on my browser.

And when I just posted, my image is likewise showing the little blue square with a question mark.

edit two minutes later, now it shows up. I am trying Ilya’s posts over in the Pub again…

Was probably due to caching.

Also I woke up this morning and our DNS servers were set back to the ISP's DNS servers. (grrr) yesterday their servers were having issues. I have a ticket in with them now to figure out how to prevent their automation from resetting the resolvers on the servers back to default.

I am working on something now... we use Elasticsearch for your search engine, and currently it is using 196.99% of the CPU. We are running version 7.17.11 and the latest is 8.12. I am checking if our Xenforo plugins which use the ElasticSearch works with version 8. So far everything I am seeing is saying use version 7.

Here is what I am seeing with the search engine.

Was seeing a slowdown around 8:30 this morning, but I see you were working on it ....
Seems better now.

Ok found out from our host that the server automatics replaces the resolv.conf file regularly and uses its name servers.

I was instructed to set up the file with the name servers I wanted to use and set the resolv.conf file as immutable and that will prevent things from changing back.

set the resolv.conf file as immutable

Interesting comment. How does one do that?

Probably by removing Write and Delete access, leaving just Read, across the board.

edit: oops, didn’t read Scott’s post on the next page to see the actual answer using the Linux chattr command. Cool.
