I’ve been trying to fix the CPU issues with the database for weeks now and I felt I had gotten close. I ran these migrations manually and the delete query deleted somewhere around 400k rows. Somehow that I’ve been monitoring the CPU for about an hour now and it seems to be behaving. It would spike when I upvoted anything and stay there a while. I don’t want to jinx it but try out the site and let’s see if it stays responsive.
My deepest apologies for the downtime and the irritating slowness of the instance since you all joined.
Thanks for doing the hard work to keep our instance updated and online! Do you have a wish list or fundraising goal? I want to do my part to keep our community sustainable.
I don’t have a goal really, but it costs about $28 to run the server per month and I currently get around $9 a week, so that covers it.
I appreciate the info on the cost, I was curious.
I plan to show receipts going forward too.
