Database maintenance
Oct. 25th, 2025 08:42 amGood morning, afternoon, and evening!
We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)
I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.
Ta for now!

Oct. 24th, 2025 10:48 pmВыбрались на концерт Benjamin Grosvenor на Южном берегу, он играл Шопена, Мусоргского и Равеля, Gaspard de la Nuit. Равель был прямо отличный - я раньше не знала этой вещи, а она очень клевая - но славяне в его интерпретации меня впечатлили умеренно. Там, где должна быть славянская амбивалентность нежности и безнадеги (у Шопена) или же серьезности и иронии (у Мусоргского), он немного проседает. Зал был неполон, но публика прям бесновалась (на британский манер), он играл два биса. Но молодому человеку всего 33 года, надо следить за ним.
AWS outage
Oct. 20th, 2025 10:11 amDW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.
Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.
Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.
