Title: Moving servers Post by: theymos on February 21, 2013, 12:06:31 AM I'm going to move the forum to a much faster server within the next few days. Maybe as soon as a couple of hours from now. I'll post here shortly before I take the forum down. The forum will be down for some time while I transfer the database and get things working. It might also appear to be down for longer due to DNS caching. (The new IP is 109.201.133.65 if you want to add this to your hosts file.)
The old server was provided by MtGox. Thanks to them for supporting the forum for so long! The new server is provided by Private Internet Access (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/), a Bitcoin-accepting VPN service. Thanks! Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: 21after2 on February 21, 2013, 12:07:44 AM Glad to hear it! Hopefully the lag will be a thing of the past. :)
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: deeplink on February 21, 2013, 12:08:17 AM Thanks, finally!
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: Mike Christ on February 21, 2013, 12:08:27 AM Great news ;D
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: theymos on February 21, 2013, 01:44:37 AM Going down now.

Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: Mike Christ on February 21, 2013, 04:58:20 AM Got a bad gateway error briefly. But reloading solved it immediately :P
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: theymos on February 21, 2013, 05:01:04 AM Got a bad gateway error briefly. But reloading solved it immediately :P That was me restarting things. There should normally be no more errors. This server is very powerful. Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: 21after2 on February 21, 2013, 05:01:43 AM This is the fastest the site has ever been for me. I'm getting spoiled by it already! ;D
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on February 21, 2013, 05:11:28 AM Done. Tell me if anything is broken. I think I broke my penis. I went through three shadow goats during the course of BT being down. Next time PM me, for what if three weren't enough? Seems to be runnin' smoothly. Great job, theymos! Later, bud. ~Bruno K~ Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: Severian on February 21, 2013, 05:17:31 AM Gracias, Theymos. Nice work. It responds 200% mo' betta than before.
> Private Internet Access Reminds me: my bill is almost due. Great company. Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: 🏰 TradeFortress 🏰 on February 21, 2013, 07:59:27 AM Server is pretty fast :D
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: 01BTC10 on February 21, 2013, 10:28:57 AM Wow! Great performance boost! Good job!
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: Akka on February 21, 2013, 10:34:20 AM Thank you for upgrading, theymos.
Good to see the Forums BTC finally getting used. Thanks to Gox for providing us this forum for such a long time, but I'm glad to see that the forum is independent now. Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: DrG on February 21, 2013, 11:49:06 AM Done. Tell me if anything is broken. I think I broke my penis.

Later, bud. ~Bruno K~ What the hell does that even mean!?! I'm afraid to google shadow goats broken penis ??? Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: Digigami on February 21, 2013, 02:49:26 PM Maybe Mtgox's site should get moved over to your new server now ;) Hate when it stops responding right in the middle of big swings.
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: wtfvanity on February 21, 2013, 03:56:25 PM The new server is provided by Private Internet Access (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/), a Bitcoin-accepting VPN service. Thanks! Cool. Is it hosted in the Netherlands? Traceroute and IP go to nforce.com in NL. Pings in NL are under 3. Pings in the USA are around 100. It seems very reactive here. Pings across EU are in the teens. And when you say provided by, are they paying for the server or are we using forum funds to pay them for the server? Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: theymos on February 21, 2013, 09:00:34 PM Cool. Is it hosted in the Netherlands? Yes. And when you say provided by, are they paying for the server or are we using forum funds to pay them for the server? They're paying for it in exchange for some advertising. Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: RodeoX on February 21, 2013, 09:19:16 PM I notice the bump in speed. :-*
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: cedivad on February 21, 2013, 09:24:46 PM And can we finally please know the specs of the server before and after? My nerd side wants to know.
Btw, you are 0.9ms away from my server in amsterdam, that's cool for my nerd side :D Quote # traceroute nforce.com traceroute to nforce.com (85.159.239.111), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 hosted.by.leaseweb.com (*) 0.338 ms 0.251 ms 0.465 ms 2 95.211.151.236 (95.211.151.236) 0.146 ms 95.211.151.234 (95.211.151.234) 0.155 ms 95.211.151.236 (95.211.151.236) 0.134 ms 3 85.17.100.142 (85.17.100.142) 6.769 ms 85.17.100.170 (85.17.100.170) 2.393 ms po100.hv15.evo.leaseweb.net (85.17.100.162) 3.210 ms 4 78.152.48.1 (78.152.48.1) 2.867 ms 0.239 ms 0.241 ms 5 eth3-8.core1.ams1.nl.atrato.net (78.152.44.119) 0.610 ms 0.554 ms 0.582 ms 6 eth1-6.core1.ams2.nl.atrato.net (78.152.34.14) 0.835 ms 0.856 ms eth9-1.r1.ams2.nl.atrato.net (78.152.44.95) 9.901 ms 7 nforce-gw-1.r1.ams2.nl.as5580.net (78.152.63.10) 1.031 ms 1.013 ms 1.170 ms 8 nforce-gw-1.r1.ams2.nl.as5580.net (78.152.63.10) 0.971 ms 1.232 ms 1.039 ms 9 14-239-159-85.rtr1.z1a-d18.tc5.nl.nforce.com (85.159.239.14) 1.167 ms 33-239-159-85.rtr1.dbn.nl.nforce.com (85.159.239.33) 247.495 ms 252.607 ms 10 www.nforce.com (85.159.239.111) 1.338 ms 1.041 ms 0.998 ms Anyway it's cool to know that the public is happy of being hosted at +100ms from the us and doesn't complain.

- Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.4GHz - 4 GB memory - Slow hard drive After: - Xeon E31240 @ 3.30GHz - 16 GB memory - 2 SSDs in RAID 1 I think this'll be enough for a while. :) Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: theymos on February 21, 2013, 09:34:13 PM I'm in the US and the latency is only barely noticeable when I'm browsing the site.
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: cedivad on February 21, 2013, 09:39:21 PM I'm in the US and the latency is only barely noticeable when I'm browsing the site. I recently moved my cluster in the us back to the Europe for this very reason (I had 2 pop), so it's good to have this confirmation that as long as the server is doing fine, 100ms aren't really a problem ;)Thank you for the info!

LOL! Of course it was lagging. And Core Duo is like 5 y/o. Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: cedivad on February 21, 2013, 09:41:59 PM 4GB ram? LOL! Of course it was lagging. And Core Duo is like 5 y/o. I bet whatever you want that the bottleneck was the hard disk ;)Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: uuidman on February 21, 2013, 09:52:33 PM For a bitcointalk addict like me, this is good news. Great indeed, thanks.
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: wtfvanity on February 21, 2013, 10:15:59 PM And when you say provided by, are they paying for the server or are we using forum funds to pay them for the server? They're paying for it in exchange for some advertising. That's what I wanted to know. I saw the advertising at the bottom and was curious if that was somehow part of the arrangement. Does Privateinternet manage the server or did they hand over the reigns to the dedicated server? Before: - Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.4GHz - 4 GB memory - Slow hard drive After: - Xeon E31240 @ 3.30GHz - 16 GB memory - 2 SSDs in RAID 1 I think this'll be enough for a while. :) ;D I bet whatever you want that the bottleneck was the hard disk ;) Absolutely. 4 GB of ram is plenty to host a forum. The reads and writes are what kill it. The only thing better than SSDs in Raid 1 would be SSDs in Raid 1+0 Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: Fiyasko on February 21, 2013, 10:21:17 PM Woah, That was a Really smooth server swap, Nice new host :D
Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: wtfvanity on February 21, 2013, 10:29:00 PM Woah, That was a Really smooth server swap, Nice new host :D It happened just over 12 hours ago. If you're east coast USA you might have slept through it. Theymos is awesome! Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: Cablez on February 22, 2013, 01:38:03 AM Finally, I can actually browse the forum again!! Thank you so much to all involved. :D

Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: wtfvanity on February 22, 2013, 01:46:35 AM I always have a hard time remembering exactly wtf his name is and how he types it and now I'm going to think theysome from now on... thanks a lot Phinnaeus! Title: Re: Moving servers Post by: theymos on February 22, 2013, 02:57:35 AM Does Privateinternet manage the server or did they hand over the reigns to the dedicated server? As before, I administrate the server.

IMO it has a very natural pronunciation and spelling. It's pronounced the same as they-most, but without the trailing t and with a softer th. It's supposed to sound like the name of a wizard or something.

Would you be able to say what SSD's are being used now? I'm in the US and the latency is only barely noticeable when I'm browsing the site. I recently moved my cluster in the us back to the Europe for this very reason (I had 2 pop), so it's good to have this confirmation that as long as the server is doing fine, 100ms aren't really a problem ;)Thank you for the info! I'm in the US as well, but use PIA services via NL, the site is fast as hell, and this works out because, litecoinpool has a domain of nl., so I just cut through all the US bs, directly to NL to connect to the forum and the mining pool. All works out very well. |
