Very, very high chance that it's been compromised by chinks to mine bitcoin. That would explain the weird behavior of connections seeming like they're timing out. The reality is the web server is just fine, it's just that it's fighting for CPU cycles against some crypto miner, which it will never win.

a cpu server isn't worth it to mine crypto

probably a memory issue with the server or an issue with the db being slow as shit b/c Rach never indexed anything. look how slow search is, which is only limited to thread titles. searching only thread titles should be instantaneous.

He's renting a VPS and wtf are you talking about? running a miner 24/7 wouldn't skyrocket costs whatsoever. You know how miners work, right? It'll probably be around 1-2MB/hr, which is far less than xo uses. Some of the threads here are literally like 10MB.

Databases are smart enough to index automatically on primary keys and that kind of thing. There just isn't enough data on xo to completely bog down a dedicated web server, which is probably running at least 4 cores/vcpus and at least 8gb ram. Could the db have ballooned to the point where it no longer fits in ram & the OS resorts to swapping? Sure, but the much more realistic interpretation is that the system is compromised. Cpanel is essentially a rootkit (and a virus) and should never, ever be used.

Also, swapping doesn't explain why the site intermittently works fine for a few minutes at a time. Much more likely conclusion is that some process that's hogging all the cpu is being killed by the OS, but because the process is malicious, it restarts itself automatically. Hell, if it's actually a chink hacker, it's probably just a cronjob that runs every minute.

if the server is rooted, there's next to nothing that can be done besides blocking all IPs except your own via the host's interface & then going to town trying to undo the damage done (plus fix the vulnerabilities)

Huh, I thought it was confirmed that Rach is logging everyone's IP addresses and email accounts to comply with recent amendments to the PATRIOT Act. I am pretty sure EPAH represented him in some secret criminal subpoena thing regarding that.

That disclosure seemed to coincide with the site becoming unusable.

The periods when the board is fine seem too long and unpredictable for bitcoin mining. If they had the server under control it's hard to see why they would take their foot off the gas for hours at a time.

lol ur dumb as fuck

its very obviously a simple python ddos script that some gook has running on a cron job (idiot closes his laptop or it goes to sleep which is why it stops intermittently)

when you see xo reset thats rach resetting the server

it would be TRIVIAL for rach to ip block this guy and it would only take like a month for him to be blocked enough that alts/vpns are no longer an issue

rach could also add cloudflare which would stop it instantly and im 100% sure poasters would help w the costs myself included

you really think rach is sitting there 24/7 monitoring the server? he's not.

the MUCH more likely response is that there's a nefarious process that's consuming tons of cpu cycles that eventually gets killed and then restarted after a while

There is no indexing and the DB is too big for query jobs to finish timely. It runs a query for "last posted in" to populate your main page

Here is the thread from when rach last wiped the boart when this same issue was happening.

That's fake news. Otherwise, the index page would consistently take a long time to load, but it doesn't. There is indexing being done. Another possibility is that the site bogs down when too many searches are being run, to the point where nothing loads, because of the concurrent db operations on unindexed columns in tables, e.g., text search
