Weekly Briefing Release 46 Jul 20 - Jul 27
WOTD extended
The current WOTD has been extended for another week.
Attacks on Privex mostly subsided & clarification
The hosting provider used by OWOP and Uvias, Privex, has been attacked mercilessly for the past week. This has disrupted access to OWOP and Uvias for a few days.
To clarify, Our World of Text does not run on a Privex server. The attacks on Privex have nothing to do with why OWOT has been running slow for the past few weeks/months. As a matter of fact, OWOT is not slow due to a (D)DoS attack but rather because the underlying host did not properly optimize their storage system. This means that there is a high latency when loading disk sectors that don't exist in the cache of the OS. That being said, there are workarounds underway for this exact issue.
Schedule transparency
The number indicates how much priority the task has for the upcoming week.
- 1 - OWOT moderation & security
- 2 - Split chat feature & optimized tile fetching
- 3 - Non-OWOT
