In release 1 of 1 of Pickled Onion Release NotesIn news that will make you sick to your core, it turns out that backups have been broken for the last few days.
A fix is now in place and that will tie in with the update to the database from mysql 5 to mysql 8, that's currently in development.
I keep thinking that I should keep everyone up to date with stuff that's going on with b3ta, so like an absent father I'm here with a one off interaction that makes me feel better.
For anyone who's interested, the backup failure happened when the containers that run everything here were upgraded to UBI 9.
That update gave me a load of new Grafana dashboards and alerts that tell me when the the site has fallen over.
Finally there's a new mechanism that allows me test new features as a canary deployment, meaning the current and a possible new site are shown randomly to everyone and I can monitor them both for errors.
As a bonus that's of some slight interest, if you look in your profile settings you can turn on infinite scrolling on the challenge entries page.
Next update will be a test build of the site with the PHP engine switched to a thread model which might stop some of the random outages. After that I have some random shite I want to try out.
/edit I'll also look at webp at some point

I just want you to enable webpand to introduce a system which aims to moderate certain undesirable behaviours.

I'm nearly sure I looked at webp before but it shouldn't be hard to addthe uploader is really just a file store so it doesn't care.
That sort of moderation is really up to Rob and not me, I'm just the hired help. Can't do nay harm to ask him.

Then it's really odd that nearly every other forum has incorporated them, isn't it.(

I'm not sure about the other boards but talk's archive hasn't been working for a long time.
I can look at my old posts but if I try to look at the linked threads nothing is shown.
