[SeaGypsy]

I don't get this speed issue, it's not at all bad here and I am probably further away from the central server than anyone here except ShavedMonkey. Might be an intra USA problem? For sure the spam filter is a million percent on what it was a few months back. Spam is more of a threat to the site than lack of speed IMO. It would be nice to have both issues sorted so everyone is happy with how it's working.

(Mods should consider moving the tech banter to the appropriate thread, it is off topic here.)

If PO.com crashing is the gauge, PO happened a while back.


I'm pretty sure the site runs on a server in admin's basement and is cached/mirrored using Cloudflare.

If you'd like to help pay for a server upgrade use the Bitcoin button or send me a pm and I'll see about setting up a paypal account and a donate button.

Better, send a PM to admin.

Resorting to shale etc? What does that mean? Shale is just another oil bearing layer. The oil is the same and there is so much of it you don't have to worry about peak oil anymore.

Maybe being in Admin's basement the signal gets conducted through the Earth's core ? It's really not that slow here.

[KingM]

This is easily the slowest site I have seen in years. Reminds me of trying to use the internet back in the 90s.

[Pops]

It's just our way of preparing everyone for the future. In a couple of years as the web dies we'll initiate our dialup BBS, followed by a packet radio network when telcom fails.

As was foretold by The 600 Pound Gorilla, the end state will be distributed local node Peak Oil Posting Trees (PO.CONifer) periodically "synchronized" by circuit riders.

Pops - Brings to mind visions of "The Postman" battling through hoards of cretins to deliver my monthly Oil & Gas Journal. Ride on, brother, ride on!

The site now seems quicker for me than it has done in weeks. Famous last words?

[davep]

[davep]

Seriously, Dan seems to have found a solution to the current bottleneck.

[ROCKMAN]

What ever changed it's working great on my end too. Spools up in about 1/5 the time

[Pops]

Awesome!

I about fell out of my APC it came up so fast!

[dolanbaker]

It is a lot faster now you say it, perhaps he's replaced the dialup 14.4k modem

[mmasters]

Definately faster now.
