I get about 400mb with that test. ES usually consumes 1 more gb than my limit, strange that yours is over by 4gb. But you have a way bigger database.

Damn, i need another 1gb just today, the site started stalling again. We're up to 18gb I turned off a bunch of search options and reindexed the search but it did not help. The only thing i can think of is to turn the maximum pages that can be returned way down ( we have it jacked way up ), but...

PHP 8.5 is pretty bleeding edge and released a few days ago, usually it takes some weeks to find the new bugs and holes in a major version, i'd recommend waiting a few months to use it in production.

My forum is doing great, we have had a strong community for 2 decades. That's why i'm much more concerned with software. If it falls behind, our community falls behind. Staying on PHPBB for so long was a huge mistake.

Already done it. Site fails to respond if it's under 17gb currently. A year ago that was 14gb. I limit it to ~500mb higher than the minimum of what the site needs to respond over HTTP. This minimum amount keeps growing. And i know i have to hand it another 1gb of memory when the site starts...

Why isn't opensearch suitable? On one of my client's systems, opensearch uses a tenth of the ram since we switched to elasticsearch. I wonder if it is the same case for Xenforo. That may just be the app's characteristics, but it was drastic. As someone running a site that needs 17gb of minimum...

Seems that both me and cloudflare users have both seen a 2xing of the bot count in the last hour or so. Not happy about it. Looks like i need to get this next generation bot protection coded up sooner than later.

That's a pretty long trek for the mouse to navigate through the site since you have not limited the maximum width of it. The bigger the screen, the larger the ergonomic problem.

That's why it is necessary to find the IP block(s) of google's crawler and whitelist them. Their crawler does not fully adhere to robots.txt and will violate many rules you set to try to defeat bots. I found this out the hard way. Hopefully nobody else has to :)

Right. You're playing whack a mole with country bans if your server protection isn't smart enough to figure out how to behaviorally analyze what's going on per IP address, which is technically possible if you do it at the PHP level.

Oh, the traffic has been bouncing about different southeast asian countries for a while now. The enormous network in Brazil was kind of a surprise.

I have a site. check my sig. I went halfway between xenforo's look and our previous PHPBB forum's look, and added some easier navigation. All work was done in a single .css file that override's Xenforo's since the themeing engine was not flexible enough for some modifications we needed. With...

It's fine, we don't have to agree!

I happen to like the look. It smells like early 2010's facebook. That's before the internet went to crap. I keep with the era in my forum's design because i want to invoke a time before the internet was crap and i'm happy with it. We are the in-n-out burger of websites Give it long enough and...

They're a publicly traded corporation and have incentives to do evil things to make money. Very few publicly traded corporations don't eventually start abusing the market position that users give them. But once they get a large amount of the market, that's usually when the abuse starts. I...
