It’s very cool to hear stuff coming in from Japan, especially oldskool stuff, thanks for bringing it along!

Promoting Spotify etc services to people here is like the antithesis of why people are here for module music. Its nice to know you are making it out there but please bear in mind that it falls on very deaf ears here on TMA where open format modules -are the way- and streamed music is very much shunned.  :-[

Its a common mistake I see happen, and it can turn into a lot of negative response which is totally opposite you want to happen :o

So many return-to-roots artists fail to recognise that they themselves have moved on and beyond into the mainstream channels while we (module zealots  :angel:) have intentionally not.

I too am on those same services, which is why I am sharing this as it might not have been clear but promoting stuff from them on here is kinda frowned upon simply because its overground, not underground  :angel:

That said, welcome back LJR.  :azn:

News / Re: Scenesat has provided an extra vCPU

Am doing some benchmarks to improve performance, main page loading random lists has a large impact so bumping those randomized lists to links and increasing the sorted lists, have to wait a few days to see the outcome but can tell already pageload is down from 5s+ to 2s.

Bumping the Quick Picks off to a linked page instead as that is a randomized list as well.

News / Scenesat has provided an extra vCPU

Today I am very pleased to announce that Scenesat has allocated an extra virtual CPU to our system, thanks in part to the few donations Scenesat receives via Modarchive.

I will soon publish some notes under the Scenesat donation link indicating that we may be able to expand available resources for Modarchive  through donations.

In the past when TMA donation drives allowed me to rent high speed dedicated servers with many CPUs we had lots of spare processing power to allow for growth, unfortunately the donation drives ceased when I went on an emergency hiatus for several years to work on personal issues. The consequence of that was the donation pool eventually ran out of money and nobody picked up the gauntlet to keep it going!

Thank goodness for Scenesat, especially Ziphoid and Fnord who provisioned a virtual server, which is why we now direct our donation drive towards Scenesat.com- if you are not familiar with Scenesat, they provide high quality live video and audio streams from many demo-parties, where module competitions frequently take place. Additionally, Scenesat provides a lot of infra for hosting radio shows by sceners, and also broadcasts scene-only music 24/7,  including fantastic music modules.

Making a donation through the Modarchive donation button on the main page will tag your donation and put it towards keeping the services online as well as possibly enabling us to earn additional resources for operating Modarchive.

All the best wishes and strength for the new year,

m0d

I have requested an extra Virtual CPU, we used to have 8 real CPUs on the server I maintained and rented with donations, but on Scenesat they have kindly given a home, but at the moment 1 CPU is getting choked especially when the site gets the hug of death from various well meaning publications linking to us.

I am working towards also optimizing even more, the original website ran as I mentioned on a meaty hardware server in a colocated data center, the dream you could say.

We will make do but these errors are bound to happen occasionally due to the sheer increase in load these days on such minimal specs. If the donations to Scenesat keep coming in, hopefully increasing, we may be able to earn more CPUs.

I am hopeful our 2nd CPU will come on line soon.

Stay tuned as they say =)

Hi Looper,

I am relieved to say I think it is done. Can you go check and confirm?

Thank you! <3

A prompt for anyone who feels interested in writing about their relationship with the module format, its place in computer history and  if there are particular reasons you have kept to this mostly underground format and whether you have preferences for modules over alternative, not necessarily mainstream, but other widespread forms of music be it vinyl or a huge MP3 collection, if there are particular module artists that changed or influenced your life in some way.

Don't worry, I'm not doing market research  :angel: :angel: just seeing our boards fairly (and reasonably so) quiet. I'd like to get to know more about those that love the module format, no matter which website but of course if the modarchive is your home, its always good to know who is out there.

Wishing all the best, with strength for the next year,

Hi Looper has this issue resolved itself or do I need to do a deep dive to kick the process into action? If so can you provide me with the module id numbers for the affected tracks?

Cheers


Actually this is a bigger problem than I initially thought, so you won't need to do anything as I have to implement some routines to clear up scores left in other tables by now-missing comments, first thing I will be doing is running a complete re-scan of the other tables and unset the scores from the corresponding entry in the module's table entry.
