Welcome to the new server
Congratulations, you're looking at this on the brand new server... At last!
It has been a bit of a rocky journey! We're using a non-standard installation of Ubuntu using a ZFS filesystem. This is a feature that they're looking to roll out in the next LTS 20.04 in a months time, but not to the level we've taken it! The feature will only allow the use of whole drives, not individual sections of drives like we need. We had no end of issues during the move, firstly the server refused to boot as it didn't want to read the /boot/EFI partition. We eventually fixed that using an EFI Shell, simply accessing the fileset and renaming the directory twice did the trick although we still have no idea why! Then we got everything running and installed ready for the move and during our tests we found the MySQL on ZFS is a NIGHTMARE. The databases were performing around 6 times slower on a server with no traffic than they were on the old, fully loaded server. We tried every trick in the book to tune this but ultimately failed. In the end we had to wipe the new server and start from scratch. This time we reserved a 1TB partition from each drive and used that to create a software Raid10 EXT4 array to place the MySQL data files on. This worked much better I've learned a hell of a lot about custom partitioning, and a lot more than I ever wanted about EFI Shells. Ultimately we have ended up with a server that:

TL;DR Version:
Ai and Akuma spent weeks doing techy, geeky shit and swearing at the server. Ai pulled an all nighter and finally got it working. Shit's good and data has never been more secure from server failure. |
The download area with the spanking clips doesn't work!

I tried to enter AOTK on my tablet this afternoon,put my correct username and password,and was greeted with a screen saying I put the wrong username or password and used my limit of trials and had to wait 15 minutes to try and log in again. O_O

Nice job. Where and how can I donate to help with the costs?

I'm the new gustantoide, after the recent Server Update or whatever that was, I lost access to my gustantoide account ... in fact, when I went to the Recover Password page, it told me that my e-mail had never been registered ... so I created a new account (with my seemingly never registered e-mail) and ... I guess I'll have to stay with this new account from now on. That won't change much for me since I only got downgraded from Member to Probationary User, but please don't expect to receive any answers to any PMs you might have sent to my old account. PS: also, I just noticed that the Recently Updated RPs that used to be on the lower part of the Home page just vanished (was it a planned change ?) |
I also have this problem when I try to log in. If I try to change the password using e-mail, then I get the same message. If I try to create an account with new mail and an old login, I get the message "That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards".
I created another account, but after logging out I ran into the same problem. I'm afraid it will be with this account. |

Would this also affect notifications for thread posts? I don’t know if it’s a problem on my or your sides, but I’m not getting any emails when my subscribed threads are posted on, even though I have them set for instant notification.

Congratulations on the new server and good luck in your continuing technical struggles!
