Putt is making upgrades to insure that only kevdude and his horde of thugs can manipulate voats.
(((Putt))) and his biggest bootlickers.
This.
I’m getting the baaad goat as well. 9:30am CST as of this post.
Looks like it. Upgrades are being applied from what I know.
Yup. What I don't get is why they don't do a dry run, of the upgrade process, on a cloned test server. Doesn't even have to host all the same content as the main voat server: simply just enough to be useful. It's, like, what every other website in the world does. I don't even remember reddit going down this often, when they'd roll out updates, back in the day.
Reddit was a shitshow of downtime. I ‘member. I think what you’re suggesting is what was done but there were only a couple dozen users testing it
Ummm, you mean like the preview voat site that has been used for testing for a couple years now?
Not really. Because that's the site he works live on. I mean set up a dummy voat, exact clone of live voat. Then run the upgrade script on it.
It's the load, not the upgrades themselves that cause the downtime most likely ... then combined w/ unexpected weirdness you just can't duplicate w/o real-world load as well.
This is probably the case. People trying to access the site while the upgrade is happening, throwing exceptions all over the place.
When CNN is force fed in public places like airports, Tavistock engineering floods 'children's programming', but even the most far-flung internet dissident communities are subject to marginalization and thought-policing..
When the few sock puppet as the many, and the majority come to see themselves as isolated misfits; perhaps some first-order rethinking is due.
