Simply the fate of all tranny faggots.

Keffals without hair like in this picture looks like Calypso from Twisted Black Metal without that scar on his left eye and has darker skin.

Lmfao that is on spot

This will likely be the final status update before the site is brought back up online. I am expecting it to be online by tomorrow, unless there is a significant delay. I have once again rebuilt everything from scratch.

The ~7 TB of content have been offloaded to a new device.
New backend servers have been set up in different countries.
Forward nodes to the backends have been setup.
The databases for these servers are clustered and the Kiwi Farms content is being imported. This is what I'm waiting on now. There are hundreds of millions of rows and with the cluster importing it is slower than it may be ordinarily.

When the database is restored, I will need to start testing the installation. There's two completely new things I am configuring for the first time (the clustered backend and file storage). So, it will take extra time to set that up.

My main concern is how long it's taking to populate the databases. It's importing records at almost a thousand a second, but the table for recording post reactions is a hundred million rows by itself.  It's a huge amount of data and I'm really hoping that the operations on that table are significantly faster. If it's going to take 40 hours just to push that shit I'm going to be pissed, and I hope to god the cluster actually works after it's done.

I've set up a side database and I'm importing without clustering to see how long that takes. If it's significantly faster (i.e. 4 hours instead of 40), I will simply disable the cluster, re-import, then re-enable clustering.


As far as the prospects go, because of how highly interconnected the new setup will be, several fiber ISPs will have to drop us. Companies like Google demand extraordinarily high availability, so there are tools for dealing with massive network outages. These are usually to handle serious problems like bombs going off and infrastructure being hit by natural disasters, but we're going to use them to deal with tsunamis of tranny tears.

(I don't feel like formatting these with the code tags)

Tor has been performing poorly because of an ongoing DDoS attack. They were exploiting the mitigation tool directly, but now they cannot. They've adjusted their attack to bottleneck Tor itself, which can be resolved by simply adding more servers to the network. However, it's not effective enough to do that right now. Pages are loading very fast.

I am expecting to get Clearnet up today.

Edit: They've upped the attack to simply try and saturate as much as possible. This could be resolved with more horizontal scaling (i.e. more computer) but I'm more concerned about Clearnet at the moment.

Fun fact: Trannies have set up automated programs to alert them when the site is back up so they can immediately start crying about it together and spin up DDoS attacks. I don't know why these people are addicted to talking on Twitter like movie villains but whatever.

I was correct in saying that now their go-to is to contact upstreams. They spent months crying to Moldovans, Malaysians, and Ukrainians until they realized with Zayo that the ISPs were more vulnerable than the individual hosts. With Voxility, that was proof-of-concept for what is essentially an exploit. So now, they just go straight to the fiber carriers to try and impose their will.

Kiwifarms has been back on the clearnet for about 17 hours as of this post. At this time I have no further use for this thread so I'm gonna leave it unlocked as an homage to the brief doubling of our web traffic for the past barely more than a week lol

We'll miss you guys.

If you're an admin of this site it's worth listening to. I'm sorry if I poisoned the well, but I do mean that.

I'll take it into consideration if you'll not post sus shit, thanks.

eh they've been under attack since at least 100 years ago

this will give people time to catch up and maybe work on the related ED articles
