NarratorZ: requires admin privileges to install I2P+. maybe that's the issue.
dr|z3d
because it force-installs the service. vanilla i2p doesn't.
NarratorZ
๐ค
dr|z3d
I figured the only sane way to run on Windows is via the service.
dr|z3d
if you treat it like an app, doesn't work so great.
dr|z3d
but I'll take another look when I'm around a windows box/vm, see if the installer works for me ok.
NarratorZ
๐
NarratorZ
I also tried to enable it from the system services - but it stopped soon after
dr|z3d
check you don't have i2p and I2P+ services there. I've seen it run fine with both installed, but then again, could be a problem.
dr|z3d
might also be a wrapper version conflict issue, seen that before. might take a while, but I'll let you know when I have some news :)
NarratorZ
okay, thanks๐
not_bob
dr|z3d: Do you have a standalone I can test?
not_bob
My main i2psnark box runs i2pd and i2psnark standalone.
dr|z3d
I can build you one, not_bob
dr|z3d
I've yet to assimilate zzz's ajax search, but the form search works fine.
not_bob
Ok, perfect.
not_bob
Sweet, build me one and I'll test it.
not_bob
Slowly downloading.
dr|z3d
ubergine, light, classic, dark themes have it enabled. the rest to follow.
not_bob
NIce
not_bob
I like the classic blinding white myself.
dr|z3d
each to their own :)
not_bob
Yep, that's why the option is there.
dr|z3d
I don't know if the filters now work on all torrents, not just the page you're on. haven't tested yet. but they might.
not_bob
Oh
not_bob
Yeah, all torrents is best if that's the case.
not_bob
That's most useful.
not_bob
I'll know here soon enough.
not_bob
As soon as I get it downloaded I'll load up several TB in torrents into it.
dr|z3d
that's as a result of the pagesize query param that zzz shared. but as I say, haven't tested.
not_bob
Understood.
dr|z3d
If you haven't updated your I2P+ router in a while, now's probably a good time.
not_bob
I did a few tweaks to notbob, does it feel aby faster?
dr|z3d
[................................................] no.
dr|z3d
not to load, anyways.
not_bob
Ok
not_bob
I increased the tunnel count for the site across all routers.
not_bob
Which I had hoped would help it be more reliable, and possibly faster.
dr|z3d
slow ass.
not_bob
?
dr|z3d
Blinded message
dr|z3d
on i2p+, try 2 hop tunnels in/out with a +1 variance.
dr|z3d
that will serve 2 purposes. one, potentially make it faster to load. and 2, more importantly, make it harder to de-anonymize.
dr|z3d
increasing the hop count?
dr|z3d
for reliability?
dr|z3d
are you mad?
not_bob
No, no.
not_bob
Tunnel width, not hop count.
dr|z3d
ah.
dr|z3d
my bad.
not_bob
It's ok.
dr|z3d
you can make the count asymmetric.
dr|z3d
more outbound, less inbound.
not_bob
HOw does that help?
not_bob
Oh, yeah. I could see that.
dr|z3d
less load on the router, and most of the traffic will be outbound which can be multiplexed.
not_bob
And, yes. I figured I could do that. I just didnt'.
dr|z3d
2 hops in, 4 hops out. something like that.
dr|z3d
*2 tunnels...
not_bob
Not 16?
dr|z3d
guess what.
not_bob
tunnels, not hops.
dr|z3d
notbob still hasn't loaded.
not_bob
Really!?
dr|z3d
so whatever you've done is a clusterfuck.
dr|z3d
and no, not 16.
not_bob
It loaded for me in like a second.
dr|z3d
and yes, really, still transferring.. nothing on screen..
dr|z3d
ok, here we go.. eventually....
dr|z3d
so about 5 minutes to load?
not_bob
Strange
dr|z3d
splash page...
dr|z3d
waiting for content.
dr|z3d
16 tunnels in/out. not good.
dr|z3d
2 in, 4 out. plenty.
not_bob
I don't have it set to 16, I was kidding about that.
dr|z3d
iirc, each tunnel can handle 8MB/s
not_bob
nice
not_bob
I do have it turned up to 7.
not_bob
Which is about half of 16.
dr|z3d
so you don't need a huge amount. more for outbound, then the client can switch between tunnels.
dr|z3d
and page fail load. splash screen.
not_bob
Strange. I'll turn it back down.
dr|z3d
ok. I'm not going to say this again. 2 in, 4 out. you don't need more than that. and hop count, 2 in/out with +1 variance.
dr|z3d
with the same predictable hop count in/out there's a deanonymization technique, apparently. so randomizing the hops a little helps mitigate that.
dr|z3d
when the site's pushing more than 16MB/s, maybe take another look. until then..
dr|z3d
remember, building tunnels is expensive, esp. on rasp. pi.
not_bob
Done
dr|z3d
*thumbs up*
not_bob
And, that download failed. Thankfully I can resume.
dr|z3d
eepget has you covered. or should. or wget.
not_bob
I'm only showing 4 stable sistes on notbob currently :(
dr|z3d
when I've got all the themes done and maybe integrated zzz's javascript stuff, I'll build an official standalone 2.1.0+
not_bob
Nice.
dr|z3d
4 stable sites? what's up with that?
dr|z3d
give the latest i2p+ a try, see if that helps.
dr|z3d
> /dev/i2pupdate.zip
not_bob
The network has sucked as of late?
not_bob
THat's what I figure.
not_bob
I have.
not_bob
But, it will take time for better stats to come in.
dr|z3d
latest being latest dev build built about 1/2 hour ago.
not_bob
IE, it's going off the last week's data.
not_bob
Ahh!
not_bob
I'll have to update to that.
not_bob
But, first i2psnark testing.
dr|z3d
presumably you're on 2.1.0-0+
not_bob
If it ever finishes.
dr|z3d
and yeah, network's been a bit screwy, though appears to be improving.
not_bob
2.1.0-1+
dr|z3d
ok, still, you want the latest -1+ :)
dr|z3d
working through a bunch of fixes/optimizations etc.
not_bob
Yeah, my local router is getting a 56% tunnel build success.
not_bob
Way better than last week.
not_bob
Or, the week before.
not_bob
I was down to 18% at one point.
dr|z3d
onwards and upwards!
not_bob
Ok, testing snark.
dr|z3d
ok
dr|z3d
brb
not_bob
This is going to take a while for it to add all the torrents.
not_bob
Ok, I see a search button in the upper right. Where is the text box to enter a query?>
dr|z3d
Blinded message
not_bob
I'm serious.
dr|z3d
so am I. see it, smell it..
dr|z3d
I see a new icon, I go and investigate with my mouse...
not_bob
Right. click on the search icon does nothing.
not_bob
Nor does the small x to the left of it.
dr|z3d
try hovering around there.
dr|z3d
oh wait. I've fucked it all up. *chuckle* my bad.
not_bob
No tooltip.
not_bob
Hah,I thought I was going crazy!
dr|z3d
sorry.
not_bob
Anwyay, let me know when it's rebuilt and I'll test it again.
not_bob
I'm still loading torrents.
not_bob
Only 100 gigs of them loaded up in it so far.
not_bob
Am I correct to assume that it does an integrety check on torrents every time it starts?
dr|z3d
see if the filtering works on all torrents when they're loaded. I'll fixup snark in the meantime.
T3s|4
dr|z3d: it's broken here also
dr|z3d
I think it does.
dr|z3d
T3s|4: it's broken everywhere until I fix it!
not_bob
dr|z3d: That's going tobe a tleast half an hour to load them.
dr|z3d
jeebus
dr|z3d
maybe I'll have a look at a config to disable checking. remind me if I forget.
T3s|4
no, I was just confirming that not_bob had not become insane ;p
not_bob
No, no. Checking is good.
not_bob
It just takes a while with this many torrents.
not_bob
T3s|4: I would not want to become insane.
T3s|4
lols
not_bob
155 gigs loaded!
not_bob
Way more to go :(
not_bob
i2psnark doesn't use smp, right?
not_bob
I'm only seeing one of my cores being used.
not_bob
I also might be wrong. But, that's what it looks like.
dr|z3d
you're probably right. talk to zzz about that.
not_bob
*nod*
not_bob
At least i2psnark is pusshing 800m/s in disk reads.
not_bob
I built a new torrent seedbox a while back. Much faster than a pi.
not_bob
And, totally overkill.
dr|z3d
:)
dr|z3d
definitely continue the conversation with zzz now you have his attention.
not_bob
I will be doing a short writeup for him on zzz.i2p after I your next build. I'll ask about SMP support in that.
dr|z3d
with 100s of torrents in snark, you're a useful case study in what can be improved. like multi-threading for integrity checking so it doesn't take 1/2 hr or more.
not_bob
Yes, I have many several hundred torrents on that box.
not_bob
I didn't start a stopwatch. But, it's taken a while.
not_bob
And we are only at 330 gigs now.
not_bob
And this is on a system with more than enough ram and NVME storage.
dr|z3d
maybe the timestamps in the screenlog will tell you. or maybe not. if not, maybe that's something I can look to log.
dr|z3d
* Integrity checks started.
dr|z3d
* Integrity checks complete. with timestamps.
not_bob
Well, it's been at least 22 min, as that's how much cputime i2psnark.jar has used.
dr|z3d
just testing a fix..
not_bob
I'll stopwatch it next time.
dr|z3d
fix working. css being checked. then I'll build a new standalone.
not_bob
Awesome, thank you!
dr|z3d
simple fix, I just fat fingered the closing " for the input placeholder which fucked everything up.
not_bob
Heh
not_bob
It happens.
dr|z3d
there will ultimately be a cancel search icon there, the x was a placeholder, which will take you back to the main view. though not yet.
not_bob
That's fine by me.
dr|z3d
ok, same url, be sure to delete your existing zip file before downloading again.
not_bob
Doing so now.
dr|z3d
update.zip fix coming, T3s|4
not_bob
Ok, purged.
not_bob
Grabbing the new one.
dr|z3d
uploaded new i2pupdate.zip to /dev/
dr|z3d
release url to follow, since I'm pushing fixes to that branch too.
dr|z3d
done and done.
not_bob
I'll let you know the status after the download finishes.
not_bob
And I get it transfered over to there, and started up...
dr|z3d
roger that.
dr|z3d
yeah, not sure the integrity checker should run on every startup.
dr|z3d
maybe there's an issue with network folders. dunno.
not_bob
This is all local to that machine.
dr|z3d
yeah, maybe it does on startup then.
dr|z3d
code's a bit opaque.
not_bob
Hmm, well, that sucked. This will take longer now.
not_bob
Ok, fired up.
not_bob
With a stopwatch going.
dr|z3d
haha, ok
not_bob
Now I see a search box!
not_bob
Hmm, I might have to wait till they all load?
not_bob
Ahh,no.
not_bob
?s=query
not_bob
Nice and simple.
not_bob
In my early test it works.
dr|z3d
working for you now?
dr|z3d
good, good.
dr|z3d
what about filters. are they working on multipage?
not_bob
Though, I don't see the X anymore to clear it.
not_bob
multipage? I'm still loading torrents.
dr|z3d
<dr|z3d> there will ultimately be a cancel search icon there, the x was a placeholder, which will take you back to the main view. though not yet.
not_bob
It's going to be a while yet.
not_bob
No worrires, I've just been removing the query from the url, that works too.
not_bob
There was an x on the previous build.
dr|z3d
just click the i2psnark button.
dr|z3d
<dr|z3d> there will ultimately be a cancel search icon there, the x was a placeholder, which will take you back to the main view. though not yet.
not_bob
Oh, that works too.
dr|z3d
it's hidden for now until I implement it properly.
not_bob
I'll let you know if multi-page works once I have more than one page loaded.
not_bob
Many of my torrents are 50 gigs each.
dr|z3d
it was always meant to be hidden until I implement it properly. it only displayed because I screwed up the html.
dr|z3d
jeebus
not_bob
:)
not_bob
Every Star Trek Episode ever...
not_bob
Just to name one series.
dr|z3d
*nods and smiles*
not_bob
I'm serious here!
dr|z3d
I'm sure.
not_bob
I have had issues getting clearnet torrents as of late.
not_bob
No doubt due to the network issues.
not_bob
Ok, two pages loaded. Searching works perectly.
dr|z3d
*thumbs up*
dr|z3d
looks like the network's getting hit with a huge number of tunnel requests right now.
not_bob
Does it search by hash?
dr|z3d
no
not_bob
I'm trying it, but my connection is slow.
dr|z3d
torrent name only for now.
not_bob
Oh, then I will stop.
not_bob
Name is good enough honestly.
not_bob
Hash would be nice.
not_bob
But,not needed.
dr|z3d
zzz's following your "keep it simple" advice. but if you want more stuff, let him know.
not_bob
*nod*
not_bob
Just by name is good. That in itself is super useful.
dr|z3d
I'm thinking a separate collapsible panel for advanced searches might be handy.
not_bob
Yes
dr|z3d
where you specify date ranges, number of peers, download ratio and whatever else. but I'll leave you to suggest that :)
not_bob
Can't I already sort by a few of those things?
not_bob
Hmm, not really.
dr|z3d
sorting not the same thing. and not for all those things, no.
not_bob
Got it.
not_bob
Someone uploaded every episode of The Brady Bunch a while back.
not_bob
Written in a time where all problems could be solved in half an hour or less.
dr|z3d
:)
not_bob
95 torrents loaded so far!
dr|z3d
\o/
not_bob
And, to think this was running a pi a month ago.
dr|z3d
does filtering work on multipages is what I want to know?
not_bob
It took many hours to load all the torrents then.
not_bob
Yes, it does work.
dr|z3d
painful.
dr|z3d
not search, filter bar buttons on multiple pages?
not_bob
Oh, I was talking search.
not_bob
Let me enable the filter bar.
not_bob
I put this verison in a new folder and made a symlink to the data dir.
not_bob
So, fresh config.
dr|z3d
symlinking might be why it's doing an integrity check on every load.
dr|z3d
so, filtering, not_bob?
dr|z3d
working on multi-pages?
not_bob
Yes
not_bob
Looks like it.
not_bob
I need to deal with an emergency.
dr|z3d
ok, get back to me when you can!
not_bob
Will do.
dr|z3d
thanks
dr|z3d
ok, some magic on the clear search icon now.
dr|z3d
won't display until the input is populated with a search string.
parabo
Hi
parabo
dr|z3d
parabo
itsjustpee
dr|z3d
albat was only yesterday asking about you, parabo
dr|z3d
all good?
parabo
dr|z3d: yeah all good
parabo
what's new with you?
parabo
hi albat
dr|z3d
lots of new I2P+
dr|z3d
you on the latest?
parabo
I got the latest stable release just now
parabo
because your dev installer link doesn't work:P
parabo
the clearnet link
dr|z3d
should do. let me check.
dr|z3d
Blinded message
dr|z3d
and .exe
parabo
you moved from github to gitlab?
dr|z3d
was always on gitlab. github is mirror.
parabo
dr|z3d: you have AIDS
dr|z3d
don't start.
parabo
lol
parabo
I wanna smoke a cuban cigar
parabo
I got these great ones for $12 each, they are cuban tobacco, but rolled and aged in Nicaragua
dr|z3d
you probably haven't noticed the side panel improvements in 2.0.0+
parabo
Nope, because I use links:P
dr|z3d
you lame fucker.
dr|z3d
all that effort wasted on you.
parabo
lol
dr|z3d
anyways, you should grab the latest dev update.
parabo
I will enable unsigned dev updates
parabo
dr|z3d: I have 6 parrots
dr|z3d
we're now using the jvm cpu load and load average to determine whether or not to throttle various sub-systems.
dr|z3d
and if you use a sane browser, you'll see a new cpu load bar in the sidebar.
dr|z3d
6!
dr|z3d
great.
parabo
3 pearly conures, 2 cockatiels, and a quaker
dr|z3d
nice, nice
dr|z3d
bird shit heaven.
parabo
Yeah. I want more parrots
parabo
I have to wait though, until the quaker learns to behave
parabo
dr|z3d: lets throw a sexy party
dr|z3d
you got one in your console when you update :)
parabo
oh
parabo
well, seems legit
dr|z3d
obviously feel free to torrent the release update / installer. links on postman or skank.
parabo
dr|z3d: I have 70% battery remaining on my MacBook
parabo
I charged it... 11 days ago
parabo
Apple Silicone ftw
dr|z3d
impressive.
parabo
Yeah Apple is actually good for some stuff now
parabo
I game in the cloud though, on a Celeron N3160 OC'd to 2.24ghz, quad core, 4gb 1600mhz DDR3, Intel HD 400 iGPU, 40Gb HHD
parabo
It is a media center PC/retro gaming PC/NAS host(external 500Gb USB 3.0 connected 860 Pro SSD)
parabo
for $80 I got some good value here
dr|z3d
sounds like it.
parabo
I found it on amazon, it's like $560
parabo
lol
dr|z3d
great. better than a kick in the balls.
parabo
what's wrong with getting kicked in the balls?
dr|z3d
nothing an 80$ celeron can't fix.
parabo
Lol
dr|z3d
updated yet?
dr|z3d
torrenting yet? :)
parabo
no
dr|z3d
shocking. do it. do it now!
parabo
what is the update URL?
parabo
nvm
parabo
dr|z3d: what's new with you?
dr|z3d
same old shizzle dizzle, parabo.
parabo
I been operating machines
parabo
Making the metal frames for car seats
parabo
That's my job now
dr|z3d
if you're enjoying what you do, great.
dr|z3d
if not, get fired and find another job :)
parabo
I am
parabo
lol
parabo
I want to keep this job, it's fun, and very good money
dr|z3d
I give it 2 weeks.
parabo
this is week 5
dr|z3d
that's a lifetime for you.
parabo
lol
not_bob
Well, that's better.
not_bob
Anywal, crisis has been delt with.
not_bob
I've also figured out why there are so few stable sites on my site.
not_bob
A site must respond to 150 pings a week to get the stable status.
not_bob
With the network issues, that's unlikely to happen.
not_bob
It should clear up soon.
dr|z3d
did you manage to test the filters, not_bob?
not_bob
Yes
not_bob
Wait, no.
not_bob
FUCK
not_bob
Sorry, crisis killed so manyhtings.
not_bob
Anyway, I'm re-loading snark.
not_bob
It's almost an hour in.
not_bob
Still adding torrents.
dr|z3d
you tested, or you didn't test?
not_bob
Did not test, can't yet.
not_bob
The filters at the top.
dr|z3d
that's not good. needs addressing for sure.
dr|z3d
threads, man, threads.
not_bob
It's yet to add any that are not fully downloaded.
dr|z3d
just click on all the filters in turn and see what happens.
not_bob
Yep
not_bob
SOme have things, others don't.
not_bob
But, when I select inactive, then search, nothing comes up.
not_bob
Err, active.
not_bob
But, in normal view, without the search in use I get nothing there either.
dr|z3d
active means seeding or downloading.
not_bob
Correct.
not_bob
And I think none are showing up there as it's still loading them.
dr|z3d
ok
not_bob
Anyway, the search seems to follow the filter tab.
dr|z3d
not sure what you mean
not_bob
SHow All, Active, Inactive...
not_bob
If I have one of those selected, then the search box only searches whatever catagory is selected.
not_bob
Whcih is fine.
dr|z3d
sure
not_bob
I have six pages of torrents loaded so far.
dr|z3d
filters are applied to the torrents being displayed.
not_bob
Right.
dr|z3d
so if you search with a filter enabled, the filter will take effect on the results.
not_bob
Yep, and that's what it's doing.
dr|z3d
so the filters are working now?
not_bob
Yes
not_bob
It's still adding torrents.
not_bob
But, yes, it is working for the filters.
dr|z3d
and are the filters active for all loaded torrents, or just the torrents on the page you're viewing?
not_bob
I'm prettty sure all loaded.
not_bob
Everything looks as I expect it to look with the active/incomplte and such filters.
dr|z3d
I'm asking if the filters are behaving as before, only on the visible page, or if they're now working on the entire collection of loaded torrents.
not_bob
I'd say entire loaded torrents.
not_bob
Hmm
dr|z3d
you should be able to tell by the number of displayed torrents being > than the configured pasgesize, assuming you have more torrents than the pagesize for a given filter.
not_bob
It was working!?
dr|z3d
because, in theory, it should be showing up to 9999 torrents when you filter.
dr|z3d
but I haven't tested it yet, which is why I'm asking for confirmation that it works from you.
not_bob
Incomplete was showing a list of not yet done torrents. Now it shows nothing.
not_bob
It seems to be inconsistant.
not_bob
Ahh, fuck.
not_bob
Yep, figured itout.
dr|z3d
if it's integrity checking torrents, then it'll assume they're incomplete.
not_bob
Right.
not_bob
But, I have some that I know are still downloading, or will be soon.
dr|z3d
doesn't sound like I'm going to get a coherent answer from you, anyways.
not_bob
Yeah, it's still only showing the page thing.
not_bob
:(
not_bob
I'm trying!
not_bob
When I go from page to page it shows me diffrent results.
not_bob
So, it must still be tied to the pages, not the entire list.
dr|z3d
ok, that's slightly more coherent. thanks.
not_bob
But, it did show me an entire list of them at once, once.
dr|z3d
ok, so maybe it's not remembering the pagesize query param it's being told to use. I'll have to load up a bunch of torrents so I can test.
not_bob
Yeah, it's strange.
not_bob
I've got everything set to defaults for settings.
not_bob
Except the colour theme.
not_bob
zzz said there was a live search?
not_bob
I can't seem to get that to work at all.
dr|z3d
ok, no worries. not so much strange as untested. it'll work better soon I hope.
not_bob
Awesome. Thank you.
not_bob
And, I'm sure more people than me will enjoy this feature.
dr|z3d
as I mentioned before, the live search is yet to be implemented here.
dr|z3d
not a cut and paste or merge thing, given my refresh torrents ajax is wildly different to vanilla's.
not_bob
Ok
not_bob
I'm writing a response to zzz on the forum now.
not_bob
Done.
not_bob
Ok, it took 1 hour and ten min to load all my torrents.
dr|z3d
ouch
not_bob
Exactly.
dr|z3d
that definitely needs looking into. mention that to zzz and he might be minded to implement some mult-threading.
not_bob
I had that running on a pi for quite a long time.
not_bob
I did.
not_bob
It took hours to load after a restart.
not_bob
There, all torrents started again.
not_bob
Ahh!
not_bob
I figured it out, why it showed me the large list of incomplete at one point!
not_bob
I had a sort order selected.
not_bob
So, the order presented was not the same as default.
not_bob
Also, major?
not_bob
sort=2
dr|z3d
major has bugs.
not_bob
Well, that sucked.
not_bob
My IRC connction just up and died.
dr|z3d
shit happens. :)
not_bob
Ooo, 24 stable sites in my list now!
dr|z3d
huzzah!
not_bob
I tweaked what "stable" means slightly.
not_bob
I've put it back to see if that changes. It will take a few hours to take effect.
dr|z3d
probably sane. 180 pings you said before?
not_bob
150
not_bob
Ehh, it's at 140 now.
not_bob
Per 168 hours in a week.
dr|z3d
ok
not_bob
140 successful pings a week is sane for stable.
dr|z3d
remind me, 10 pings at a time?
dr|z3d
or was it 5?
dr|z3d
sure
not_bob
Hmm?
not_bob
I'm not sure what you are asking.
not_bob
That's overall in the last week.
not_bob
How many successful.
dr|z3d
when you ping a site, it's sending 5 pings at a time, no?
not_bob
Sorta?
not_bob
I stop after one works.
dr|z3d
I thought you were averaging the result over 5 pings.
not_bob
Oh, that!
not_bob
Yeah, that's an average.
not_bob
Sorry, that's lower level than I was thinking.
dr|z3d
so 140 pings a week is 140 / 5 a week or?
not_bob
No, no.
not_bob
140 successes per week.
not_bob
Not counting the low level pings. Those all count as one per.
not_bob
So, if it gets five pings in one hit, then it still only counts as one.
dr|z3d
ok, and 1 ping per hour per host, in terms of success or fail? or you're pinging more frequently now?
not_bob
Correct.
not_bob
No
not_bob
Once per hour.
not_bob
But, I was going to say. The results can be tainted.
dr|z3d
right. 1 ping per hour per host.
not_bob
if I ping a host manually then it can have more successful pings in a week than it should.
dr|z3d
so 140 consective pings == 140 hours worth of ping results.
not_bob
Right, pass or fail.
not_bob
I track pass and fail.
not_bob
But, for health, I only count passes.
dr|z3d
so you're expecting 5.83 days of sustained uptime to mark a host as stable.
not_bob
No
dr|z3d
140 / 24
not_bob
140 pass pings per week.
not_bob
successful.
dr|z3d
which works out as 5.83 days.
not_bob
Oh!
not_bob
Sorry
not_bob
Yes
not_bob
My brain is a little fried.
not_bob
But, yes.
not_bob
So long as a site responds pretty much all the time it's stable.
dr|z3d
ok.
dr|z3d
so you want 120 successful ping responses for a stable flag, perhaps.
dr|z3d
that's a round 5 days of good uptime.
not_bob
Ok, sure.
not_bob
Let me change the code.
not_bob
Done
not_bob
It runs live, so it will take at least an hour to show results, likely two.
dr|z3d
just makes it easier for you to calculate what's going on.
not_bob
Sure
not_bob
Oh, StormyCloud
not_bob
Anyway, I should really sleep.
not_bob
Things seem to be working now.
dr|z3d
you could even go lower. 96 successful pings = 4 days of good uptime.
not_bob
Is that good uptime though?
dr|z3d
if it requires consecutive good pings, then why not?
not_bob
Not consecutive, just in the last 168 hours.
dr|z3d
hell, if the pings are consecutive and 1 bad ping marks it unstable, then lower still. 3 days.
dr|z3d
72 = 3 days.
not_bob
Nah, one bad ping does not mark as unstable.
dr|z3d
so you don't lose the stable flag if a ping fails?
not_bob
Nope
not_bob
Only if it misses too many in a seven day period.
dr|z3d
well that's where consecutive pings come into play.
dr|z3d
if you rely on consecutive good pings, then 3 days is a good number.
dr|z3d
something to think about, anyways.
not_bob
Right, right, but not quite. As it's set now, so long as your site responds 120 times out of the 168 then it's still stable.
dr|z3d
won't keep you. sleep well.
dr|z3d
72 / 10 * 9 = stable, perhaps.
dr|z3d
any less, then it gets marked down.
not_bob
I will ponder that after I sleep.
dr|z3d
aight
not_bob
Sleep well whenver you do that sort of thing.
dr|z3d
you too
