site slowness?


Recommended Posts

I've been on neowin.net for the past like...hour or two, and well, it's been quite unstable. Sometimes it's very fast and up and running at full speed, sometimes I just keep getting "the document contains no data." errors in firefox, and when i try IE, it just doesn't load, without any errors, and the connecting bar just keeps going forever slowly.

Is this a problem or is it just me?

Check out the post in this forum Like "Site slowness" or something. People think its Sunday-Backup day while i've been expierncing it for a week.

I wouldn't say a week, today is the only major problem I've had in a while now. It's just been sluggish all day.

EDIT: Seems to be speeding up as I type.

I'm having access issues as well, but the problems I'm having all come from using Firefox, it seems. In Fx, I get a blank page (sometimes w/out a time out message), whereas in IE6, no issues. Just now, I tried again using Fx, & the main forum page finally rendered, but not well, as the attached thumbnail shows:

Again, in IE6 (which I am using to post this), no such issues........

worked fine in Firefox about 15 minutes ago, but now once again, Firefox just gets a blank page.  I'm posting by using IE6; zero issue w/ IE6,,, :blink:

Having the same issues with Safari here, sometimes the requests just time out (spotted this in the Activity popup). I just have to keep hitting refresh til I get a connection.

Something seems funky with the whole site.

    • But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)
    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
