Planned Network Maintenance in our Data Center

Hello, 🚀

UPDATE: This maintenance is now completed.

We'd like to let you know that scheduled network maintenance in our data center will take place Wednesday, November 24, at 2:00 AM EST | 07:00 UTC.

This maintenance will take up to 3 hours, and may cause up to 10 minutes of glitchy functionality on Similar Worlds, namely Photo/Image Uploading.

We are hoping to have minimal disruption, but we want to let you know in case you wonder why SW may be down or not working properly 😊👍

Have a great day
-SW Team

This is outrageous!! 🤬
Never have I seen anything like this, on any other site! SW is going to the dogs. The death knell is ringing. Members are leaving by the millions.

@helenS I agree i just wish there could have been an alternative feed to see this message

SW-User

But what am I suppose to do instead?

TjNewton · M

@SW-User It's too stressful to even think about

NerdyPotato · M

Oh no! That's going to disrupt the number of nude 50+ year old men I'm going to see today! 🤣

But seriously, only uploading? That's not too bad.

HijabaDabbaDoo · F

It's happening. The second wave of the planned-edit. Stay vigilant guys

CestManan · 46-50, F

@HijabaDabbaDoo Is this one gonna be worse than the first? Will the unevacuated get hit harder?

The other social medias might become filled to capacity.

Dlrannie · 31-35, F

Oh no not more non improvement improvements ☹️☹️☹️☹️

TjNewton · M

@Dlrannie 😂😂😂😘😘

trackboy · 22-25, M

are they changing out the vacuum tubes their computer runs on?? lots of vacuum tubes to test to find the ones that are going bad from either low emission or grid leakage caused by a vacuum leak? 🦃

@CestManan transistors allow for frequency response down to dc. while tubes have to use coupling transformers and they roll off the low frequencies due to really low frequencies not passing from one side to the other side of the transformer. and the highs tend to get absorbed by the laminated iron core. I'm ready for Thanksgiving dinner. 🦃

CestManan · 46-50, F

@trackboy All my receivers are without tubes. The oldest one, which I use in my main system, is a Pioneer SX-60 which was built in 1984. The volume control sometimes has issues but is then fine after cleaning and dexoit'ing.

I am not sure why some thing a tube amp, with it's highs and lows limitations, sounds better. They could use a transistor-driven amp and connect an equalizer. EQ's add only minimal, unnoticeable distortion.

I know some do not like to mess with the integrity of the sound though.
They say they want to hear it as the sound engineers intended. Okay, what about when the sound is brick-walled to the point of distortion? Not that anything can fix that really.

trackboy · 22-25, M

@CestManan the tube purists talk about the warm sound. but that is because of the lack of highs due to the laminated iron cores absorbing the higher frequencies. you need a ferrite core for high frequencies that's why radio frequency transformers use a ferrite core.😺

KiwiDan · 31-35, M

So in about 10 minutes? Checking due to unfamiliarity with UTC and EST

Nuno · Admin

@KiwiDan Yep

Longpatrol · 31-35, M

Oh gawd no, no access to money now no access to SW?! 😭😭😭😭

Nuno · Admin

@Longpatrol Access to SW should not be affected, as I mentioned above.

Longpatrol · 31-35, M

@Nuno Sorry Nuno, I don't read or understand English. I joke 😂

Oh my gosh i'm going to be really upset about that 😥😥😥

empanadas · 31-35, M

im just here to see the over dramatic ridiculously complains 👀

CestManan · 46-50, F

@empanadas They are gonna add a "double downvote" button. The sh^t is gonna hit the fan like a grenade explosion.

@RogueLoner We never said we're changing/fixing Photo uploading. This was a Network maintenance, not functionality maintenance. And this network maintenance affected the Photo uploading.
