The network Burggit is on is experiencing performance issues. I'd encourage everyone to use shota.nu for right now if you can. I talked to the host about this and evidently it's an upstream issue with the datacenter.
The datacenter is refusing to help out with this and thinks everything is working fine so there's plans for migrating to a new datacenter that are underway sometime soon. So in the meantime, I'm afraid we need to just grin and bear it.
Lemmy errors out if the NFS mount is nonresponsive. It doesn't like not being able to access the huge swathe of pictures that are stored on the server. I've switched the NFS mount to TCP and have it retry the connection every second in an effort to mitigate the severe packet loss.
As I was composing this, the packet loss shot up to 90% so I don't think even that will help...
That's really all I can do for right now. I wish there was more that I could do to resolve this... ๐
Glad to hear. It's not an all the time thing, though. The network becomes flaky every now and again and sometimes the packet routing just flat out dies for no apparent reason. Hence, why Burggit is seen as being down sometimes.
