New Server going online today!


Recommended Posts

Ok I was wondering what the hell is up with the site loading almost instantly.. then I remembered the upgrade!

Thanks guys! running really well for me.. well like never before really. :D

Edit: OMG I'm salivating at the speed here. Rappy, you're going down! :shifty:

Wishful thinking :p

I wonder if there were glitches with submitting news for the Main page.

Not that I expect all the stories I submit there to be posted but this interesting new Time Magazine interview with Bill Gates (with video) that I posted Sunday never showed up, and it seems it would be something that would go well on the Main page:

Making Capitalism More Creative by Bill Gates

Gates Video Interview @ Time

So I am wondering if that one even got through.

They did, I have seen them in the queue. Unfortunately, our current system doesn't provide us with a way to feedback on why a submission wasn't accepted, that is something we intend to change in future revisions on the site. From reading a couple though, I would suggest if you formatted the story as a couple (2 or 3) paragraphs instead of a series of brief sentences, this will save our news guys the time of having to do further research in order to reformat the story.

Thanks, good to know. I thought, though, that you could only include 3 paragraphs from the story submitted to Main news for copyright issues. I'm happy to reformat, though, if that is okay. Still, in that Gates case the first three paragraphs were rather long. Probably that article wasn't techy enough. Cheers, James

There is that limit yeah, but if you write them yourself to summarise the story, instead of just copying the first three, that would be even better, those are the kinds of submissions we really love ;)

I like what the move did for Neowin. Pages now load instantly :woot:

edit: Except when you hit "reply". Takes a few to load and the "quick edit" option doesn't work after.

The move isn't even finished yet, we're currently running on one server instead of 4 that we were previously spread over. Once those 4 are moved and reinstalled, and the site spread over 5 servers, imagine the speed then!

yeah, but not all 5 will be for the site will they?

Can't really imagine anything faster than "instant". Will the fifth server slap me after the page done loading instantly, or something :o ?

Still moving? 'Cus I'm getting "Busy" messages and 30-40 seconds load times :/

The servers will be placed into the new DC early next week. I think I have tracked down the cause of the occasional server lags, and I'm working to get it sorted out.

Yup, pretty sure I got it sorted now. Running the mail queue was slowing down apache and mysql, after some tweaking, I've ensured that will no longer happen.

I just hit a complete wall, 2 x Server busy and pages loading for 1-2 minutes and then nothing. Took 3 attempts to get to this page!

Keeps switching between being super fast and completely dead.

I'm seeing the same behavior, one minute the site will be blazingly fast and the next minute it slows to a crawl or doesn't render properly (after 3 minutes it stops and just loads the banner ad).

Same here, accept I've had nothing but random weird problems like you said and don't notice any speed boost at all when there isn't server busy the speed for me is like what its normally been here.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
