Planned server downtime (we are up again!) 🟢

During next week (probably on Wednesday, June 1st 2022) I’ll be transferring our bare metal to a new data center. Overgrow.com will be offline for a few hours. In some cases, it can be even longer because of cached DNS records. I’ll try to keep the downtime to a minimum.

I’ll provide more details about the exact time once this information is available.

UPDATE: Expected outage between 2022-06-01T09:00:00Z2022-06-01T14:00:00Z

Wow, still running bare metal in a datacenter?!?! AWS hosted instance costs -are- pretty darn excessive once all the ancillary services are added in. Thanks for the heads’up!

@LemonadeJoe if you set the TTL’s on your DNS entries to one minute, a day before the change, the dns will propagate within 3 minutes! …3 levels of propagation with a max of one minute ttl each. For sure don’t have it set to 24 hours :sweat_smile: That could take 3 days to propagate globally. After the change the TTL can be increased back to whatever you keep it at

Sure! TTLs will be shortened to 5 minutes (that’s the minimum I believe).

Lol yo are u making it so u can post more then a 1000kb @ a time ? I finally upgraded my camera and im currently jumping thru hoops to post pics lol. I took a pic it was @ 13.00 mb I cropped it down to 1.20 mb and it still won’t post lol. Any further cropped and it would be impossible to see anything. I know there’s a few more wondering as well.

I think you got to tweak your camera bud. I post pics all the time and you can get tons of detail out of a 1MB pic. As am example here is a 282kb pic.

If I zoom in I get this.

If I can get an image of individual trichomes on a 282kb pic, less than a 3rd the available size, than I am sure you can get your camera to provide all the detail you need within 1000kb file.

LOL, well I would not have put it like that exactly but yes, I suppose so. Pretty sure if you play with it a bit you will get all the detail you need within the required size limit.

My guess is that you haven’t exceeded the allowed file size, but the number of megapixels.
