music ? why do you think I can make music ? 
remember your sig m8 
btw nice music (my fav is polish)
I feel you, m8.
Guess I’ll have to do some WORK then, gah… THIS SUXXORZ!!!
yeah, polish is one of my favs too. kind of like the essence of that kind of music for me, intelligent sampling and all. the string are a completely different bpm but fit amazingly, the beats are tricky, I played the piano myself … oh yeah.
but this is becoming increasingly off-topic. better stop.
i am too old for this… back online. let me know if you notice something not working as expected.
cheers!
my admin rights are gone 
o yeah,
your root account. sorry, i forgt 
breathes again
I can surf again in Renoise.com and this forum, great.
But i notice the site much slower compared to how it was before the downtime.
any strange changes around there? server is being hammered?
the server is not really balanced yet.
basically it is the same hardware with a new os setup (debian). Same apache version, same scripts, same DB etc.
I need to nice some cronjobs and other serivces though, those might be interfering with the webservers processes and thus performance. Anyway, right now it does behave exactly the same as before if you ask me.
did someone expereince such drastic slowdown too? i am not talking about nuances.
nah, it´s not that bad in speed terms, it´s slower… but i can wait 4-5 secs more. I´m a patient guy
must be your connection / isp routing then. my fancy speed-o-meter (fasterfox plugin) rarely shows more than 0.8 sec to fetch and render a whole page.
Hurray its back online 
And for me it seams quicker
yes. It’s much quicker than before the hardware issues…
I find it normally has the same speed, but did not experience any slowdown until now, while before I experienced it from time to time
Next time, let them install a Raid 5 configuration, you don’t need them to down the server just to swap a defective harddrive.
its all about costs. i would rather like a xeon quad setup with lvd raid5 scuzzy setup… but it is always about money.
anyway, we plan to change the isp to get better hardware and traffic prices in the future. Then come raid.
Cheers!
One of my clients server had 4-5 hard drives broken in one year or so. And because of RAID and hotswap they didnt even noticed anything… i was one lucky admin
btw, supplier said it must have been faulty batch or something…
If this hardware is needed to get a new server then you could setup a donate page for it until the amount is raised. I see it happen on a lot of forums. I would gladley donate a portion! Just a thought…
thank you, but it is not just that easy.
The hardware is not the crucial point here. Right now we have a rented hardware. That means, if something goes wrong like it did just few days ago, we pay nothing for the service and hardware replacement. I like this kind of contracts because it means less risk for us.
The hardware is not that expensive nowadays. Service and support is.
Cheers!
