@freemo @design_RG Urm, was it me who broke the discourse server? Getting a 502 bad gateway whislt posting something.
Sorry. ![]()
The Discourse server works strangely sometimes. Fast and nice, and then... Molasses. Freemo has been increasing the assigned resources to it (RAM mostly, seems to make a difference) but the hosting costs are getting higher and higher.
I will take a look at the Traffic graph -- I hate seeing huge loads of stupid search engine spiders, crawlers, taking big chunks of processing time away from human users.
Here the current data Graph.
@design_RG @freemo Ban the crawlers. ![]()
@design_RG @freemo But you should be able to rate limit them in nginx? I would have thought??
@chrism @freemo
And the monthly view for past month.
Crawlers load is too high, I would like to reduce it myself. Google users is not the central focus for me when system load is affecting performance.
