Currently debugging a memory leak of about 750 bytes per request on average which leads to many gigs of ram leaking over about 12 hours. You may see 404s occasionally as the daemons are restarted while debugging. Yay overly complicated massive dependency-requiring frameworks with a million moving layers. Maybe a rewrite of the code base in awk tied to a raw openssl binding on tcp/443 will calm the nerves. It certainly would be easier to debug. 2025-01-29 (1738108800) Thanks to sizzles for pointing out a few minor error conditions based on forms. They have been addressed. ... [ View Full Changelog ] |
