Reminds me a little of zip bombs, just unintentional. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) idkfa Mon, 06 Apr 2015 13:32:07 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6865&msg_id=6988 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6865&msg_id=6987 In one of our modeling programs, we found some sort of overflow bug that probably hasn't been reported before. We sent trouble tickets in to Autodesk and they said that was brand new for them. For whatever reason, because our file size was so large, when booting the program it would hang up. It filled the ~80gb open on my hard drive in about 10 minutes. Fun times. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) idkfa Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:02:01 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6865&msg_id=6987 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6865&msg_id=6986 So, I implemented this around December 15th of last year. This meant that as part of the idkfa database, I was storing the images that would be captured using this proxy mechanism. This meant that the idkfa database would grow along with the number and size of the images used. Cut to a few months later. First, I run out of files on my backup server (you would think 45 million would be enough). I fix this, only to find that it was masking another problem: I was running out of space almost every week. I know I wasn't adding *that* much more information to the applications I was backing up, but *something* was killing my storage over time. Turns out, it was this. Storing 89MB of information each day (GIFs aren't the most efficient format), this slowly ate through my 60GB backup partition. I've now changed my backup routine to only store a week's worth of idkfa backups. Still, though. Small changes, vast consequences. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) idkfa Sun, 05 Apr 2015 16:00:27 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6865&msg_id=6986 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6865&msg_id=6868 A cause for celebration!

Two things were happening: Images would get taken down from imgur on occasion, and forever be broken images. When trying to view a large thread (like the pinned thread), image loading would repeatedly reflow the page, causing the comment box to jump repeatedly. This made viewing the entire thread difficult unless either you waited for all of the images to load, or you viewed the thread's contents one-by-one. I've now got a sort of image proxy going on idkfa. It will rewrite the img tag in your post, and rewrite it so that it goes through a slapped together proxying service. The image's width and height with be recorded, and will be used to hard-code the width and height of images prior to loading, stopping the browser from reflowing each time a new image would load. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) idkfa Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:28:56 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6865&msg_id=6865
