Hi inkscapers,
The inkscape website has been under stress recently. Higher load after the release mostly. But also a broken cron, failing logrotate, low disk space (in that order of knock on effect).
I've fixed the cron, which fixes the logrotate and I've got a ticket out for increasing the disk space next Monday. The web server will be down for 30 minutes while I go through the process with OSUOSL.
The load issue though was troubling me. Lots of media requests. I opened a ticket with Fastly, the very kind CDN service we use. They had a look at our logs and noticed that Fastly was asking if files had changed every 3 minutes.
Which is a bit often.
So I've set the expires to 30 days. This shouldn't effect any of the actual pages since it's just about the media / downloads. This is also one reason why uploads never use the same filename, appending -1 and etc to make them unique. So we shouldn't have an issue.
But let me know if you spot anything odd or interesting. I'll keep monitoring.
Best Regards, Martin Owens Website Administrator
