Technical Issues - TPU Main Site & Forum (2025)

I'd use the ignore more now if it completely blocked people who are my ignore list from quoting me. Otherwise the ignore list is completely useless feature imo.

Just saw a whole mess of 502's. Seems to be ok for the moment.

Yeah I broke something, should be fine now

Ok.

Another small issue has come up, the following article seems to be missing it's forum entry;

Had a connection problem a few minutes ago, seems to be OK now.

Today it's really bad with opening links. Sometimes they open straight after clicking, sometimes give this error:

EDIT: Reacting to posts takes long time, too.

Confirmed. I'm investigating

Edit: I think I found it

this is actually problematic in a subtle way

iptables -A PREROUTING -p tcp ! -s 10.0.0.0/8 --dport 30000:32767 -j DROP

This will not only drop external traffic to that port range, which is what I intended, but also _return_ traffic to ephemeral ports when any connection is made within the cluster, like in this case to the MySQL database

Edit 2: Seems to be working well

Really appreciate all the effort you are making to make this site even better.

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

Working a lot better now.

Appreciate the effort.

It's such a wonderful adventure, I've been learning new things every day, for the past 20+ years

Mysql database getting hammered.

Mysql database getting hammered.

It wasn't a load problem, but a configuration error

I'll second(or third) this!

Looks like some behavior changed when posting forum links.

I recall it used to be different with a compact rectangle some text and clicking it would take you to the post and now it looks like it's trying inline part of the page...

That's the way to roll.

So I ran into two issues.

1. So it turns out the Thermal Grizzly - AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit is NOT100% compatible with my B650 Live Mixer motherboard (see screenshot below)
   1. I ended up angling the adaptor in a 45 degree offset.
2. When using the offset the original AM4 Velocity Waterblock mounting bracket edge overlays over the NVMe heatsink under the CPU
   1. Despite the overlay the NVMe heatsink does not appear to be hindering the block. I did give the end a little bend so there was a very tiny gap. I...

I think this might be specifically for quotes?

I think this might be specifically for quotes?

I'm not sure what you mean. Usually I'd just pase the link into the text box and it would convert it.

for example when posting an external link like to newegg (ugh it not doing it now, it's just converting it to a plain link)

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-pg27qft2a-27-qhd-180-hz-ips-black/p/N82E16824028007?Item=N82E16824028007

just a moment let me try amazon (yea I guess the behavior changed with external links too)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F29KHFD9

I can get around the issue by posting the forum bookmark specifically as a link so it's not being interpreted.

(edit) Here is an example of what it used to do automatically when posting newegg, amazon, or forum post links...
I was able to find this example going back though my history and take a screenshot.

Ok so it doesnt work for non-quoted posts either. I suspect our new IPs are getting blocked at Newegg and other servers, so the forum cant fetch the title

Actually .. this is Newegg requiring JS from visitors, affects my home IP as well

Yeah, it's not an easy fix, because the Ids are coupled, and I'm not sure if I can just hax a thread id on XenForo

Confirmed, not fully sure yet what exactly happened, but looks like a bunch of our server suddenly stopped being able to communicate with each other.

Seems to be fine now

It wasn't just TPU..

 

[Macro Device]

Was it just me or was the whole TPU down for the last 20 minutes?

 

[W1zzard]

Much longer .. back up finally. Some corruption in our filesystem (Ceph), no data lost

Edit: 1 hour 15 minutes

Edit 2: Due to a configuration issue (my fault) we had the filesystem metadata server and its standby backup instance end up both on the same node, so when the node failed, both the primary and standby metadata servers were down at the same time and Ceph marked the filesystem as "broken"

 

[Macro Device]

I won't even pretend to understand the specifics but I'm glad you know what you're doing and it works again.
