Update: so we're finally taking action on this. We're just putting up a new 4GB VM for Apache, we'll serve the main site from that which should free up a ton o' RAM for MySQL on the increasingly loaded 8GB main box. (We'll leave minor sites over there today, move them at our leisure.) We have a bit of cash on hand (we have no paid staff) so can put up a few extra boxes as needed. Thankfully, horizontal scaling is PHP's strength. I have reminded Trent of the high quality recommendations for other things to do to be found in this thread ... (We just got sued by an aggrieved creationist. Thankfully WMF has already set precedent for sec 230 applying, so we're not at all worried about that. What we *are* worried about is well-wishers knocking the server over again ... INCOMING!!!) - d. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
