Forum Feedback Petition to move TE Forum to an Indian server!

[swatkats]

In any case Renegade said he's already been thinking about it, but hasn't had time to do so yet.

 

[vivek.krishnan]

Thats one helluva big thumbs up.

 

[chiron]

How does this poor organic search results thing work exactly? Just curious.

 

[Renegade]

I am planning to migrate the servers over this weekend. Running some test migrations. Still deciding between AWS and digital ocean.

Other Indian providers like bigrock and all are too expensive.

 

[Mr.J]

Which AWS location exactly?

 

[Renegade]

Which AWS location exactly?

Mumbai of course.
Though leaning more towards the DO (Bangalore) as AWS takes a lot more effort to setup and manage. Digital Ocean with Server Pilot looks simpler.

 

[Renegade]

Migration completed last night and the site is super fast now. Primary objective of moving here achieved.

@swatkats - Thanks for pointing out that digital ocean had Indian servers. I was considering AWS only till that point.

 

[Basics]

Good work, it does feel faster.

@swatkats - Thanks for pointing out that digital ocean had Indian servers. I was considering AWS only till that point.

Thanks! I'm Glad that you've considered my request. Better Late than Never.

I'll be honest, Forum is loading blazing fast even on a 256kbps connection.

 

[swatkats]

Also, I hope you opted for enough RAM so that we don't face the Low RAM issue, Tables getting corrupted or something like that.. Last time we faced such issue. @Renegade

 

[Renegade]

We will upgrade when needed. Right now the peak RAM utilization for last 2 days has been 40%. Its average around 33% so we should be safe for now unless traffic increases, which is a good problem to have.

 

[Mr.J]

No worries. You can always download more RAM.

 

[adventureguy]

Site is fast a F now. good job

 

[Jasku]

It is noticeably quicker, great job guys, thanks!

 

[swatkats]

Others members also comment on the speed and loading times. It's way way faster now!!!


@Renegade Any increase in organic traffic??

 

[sandeepsachin]

Site is definitely faster but 1 issue I am facing is, when I Google for an older thread or new for that matter, i click on the search result and choose to open via the te app and boom, the app lands on its login page rather than the requested thread

 

[nimod]

I too, find it fast.
Thanks @swatkats

 

[swatkats]

I too, find it fast.
Thanks @swatkats

Thank the Admin @Renegade

To an end user like me, a second or two here or there doesn't really matter. So India or elsewehere is meh...

But it's shocking how lackadaisical our attitudes are about liberty and privacy. Which is exactly what the govt. is taking advantage of. This is a small example of the types of systems they're setting up and most people don't even know that this is the real objective of aadhaar. And this was started by the congress govt. and modi then opposed it:

now he's saying https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/754325750937858048?lang=en

I have seen an LIM room and server rack in a DC and it's frightening to think about their access. And the whole 'i have nothing to hide so privacy doesn't matter' is naivete at it's best.

But yeah, my internetz is faster so who cares...

There was a recent documentary short on CNN a few days ago about one such mass surveillance - some sort of sophisticated spying software used by countries like the UAE, Saudi etc and made by a Dutch company currently owned by British based BAE Systems. The system is classified as a weapon because of it's powerful and sensitive nature.
