More scraper drama (and some Hetzner slowness)

Fremantle2026 November 15 (Sunday), 10:39AM· MediaWiki · Another Sunday morning, another few hours spent pretending to be a sysadmin. But things are maybe slightly better than they were when I started! Even though the actual cause seems to just have been Hetzner's slow object store today. I've improved how MediaWiki was storing its file cache, and tweaked FPM a bit to have a better view of what's slow. But maybe it was all unnecessary! Because now fsn1 is good again, all is fine; I probably could've just gone for a walk and things would have been fine when I returned. Sigh. Oh well, at least the server is serving AI bots a little bit better (bigger sigh). ← Previous My main RSS news feed: https://samwilson.id.au/news.rss(or Wikimedia.rss, Fremantle.rss, OpenStreetMap.rss, etc. for topic feeds).
