System Updates

[Don in CT]

I just cut a bunch of mine off,just back and sides,nothing to cut on top anymore.

The hair on top looks ok as long as it doesn’t get wet. Getting thin up there.

SWMBO has been cutting my hair for years; there is so little of it.

I am 68 years old and the hair on top is thicker than when I was in my 20s. Of course I have plenty of it in unwanted place too.

Where did my ears go?!

 

[navychop]

They’re covered with the hair growing out of them.

Which begs the question: Do you have a mustache? Are you sure it’s growing from your upper lip?

Sorry to part your hairs, but I am doing some work and will need to restart some services. We may be offline for a few seconds.... but we will be right back.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok all set.

You could get the bald patch on top cut out and the back pulled up to cover it.

Phooey. God made some men's heads correctly. The rest of them, he covered!

Nah,at 64 I don't really care anymore,but at least it's still blond,the beard on the other hand...

Doing more work... I notice Cpanel changed a few things in PHP. I am working on it now. Site may be unavailable for a few seconds froom time to time.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ahh much better.

I am still seeing some slowing, especially when liking a post.

and posting as well.

Cache may still be building...

I checked the site with GTmetrix and noticed our rating was E...

I checked out Apache and PHP settings and saw that Cpanel reset them back to default and turned all the caching off. I readded them back in (and saved the profile)

Now with GTmetrix we are back to testing at an A rating.

With that said I am still taking a look at things, to see what else I may have missed.

BTW some of the issues also seem to be DNS related as when I went to update the server could not find the update server... I went into the resolver and added 9.9.9.9 which fixed the problem. One of the things I dont like about this server is it keeps reverting the DNS servers back to the DNS server at our ISP and not the custom (and much more faster and reliable) ones I set.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

And I am still playng if you are wondering.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

May go down again for a second or two. I am doing a Xenforo recommended update.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok we are now on PHP 8.2.

Things have been restarted and again. may take a few minutes to rebuild caches. But testing looks good so far.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok things are looking good. i am going to stop playing for now and let the system rebuild.

At the moment I am satisfied, and we are ONLY using Apache, there is no NGINX running. NGINX may speed up things just a little more, but we are at 91% with an A at the moment. Lets see how this does.

I am seeing much better response now.
