Odell just pissing on compass mining yeah I get it not your miner not your hash I can see if it was a complete scam like some Cloud miners were but if individuals want to risk their own capital to have a third party host it then so be it.
The discord has people with 2 penthash getting daily sats for the price of power which is extremely low compared to mining at home.
I think most of the hate is coming from delays and the whole Russia issue but the company is working hard to make people whole.

DB queries are still fast. Nothing logs more than 30 ms.
I suspect the issue is my GraphQL resolvers. I need to create slow logs to really figure it out but the way these things are written, I suspect a simple page rendering might require do 100 requests (and incur 100 RTTs) to the DB, which for even modest queries will accumulate into seconds fast.

Yea, hard to armchair debug from here, but I wish I could help :D More logging of timestamps will help...
I see most ajax requests taking over a second. I'm guessing you have a really high qps on the graphql endpoint? It could be memory/cpu bound too?
I had a weird behavior after cleaning cache in Chrome and cold loading stacker.news, then it took 30+ seconds to open the homepage. Not sure what it was stuck on, but the (mainly js files) requests are either "stalled" or "queued".

Lots of memory and CPU available is the weird part ... Must be IO bound somehow.
You're right though, if I had some decent tracing I could probably figure out what the problem is pretty fast. Working on this now actually.

Also remove the "sleep_for_one_second()" type of function, that usually helps :-D

Considering the recent Twitter dilemma regarding censorship and Elon Musk acquiring it for the presumable sake of free speech, what do you think SN should do to become censorship resistant? Should there be a DAO or something similar?
