bumblebee Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 The site is back up but images will be missing from many posts until the external storage is synchronized by late tonight or early tomorrow. Some important changes: All images are now hosted externally on Amazon S3 storage. The direct image links will begin with https://s3mcinvision.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ The server will never again fill up due to images, so that will make hosting and moving it to new hosting much simpler. I've lifted the image size restrictions, so high resolution images will no longer be resized to 1920x1080. My hope is that we won't need restrictions again, but we'll see how the storage costs are in a few months. Thanks for your patience and your support! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I believe it is a moss agate, although someone else described it as "dendritic agate manganese inclusions under quartz" but I understand that dendritic agate is usually brown or black, if ever green. Never seen another one like it. Hand faceted too. Seems like the mossy part is more easily damaged. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 So the web server has been crashing. I only made one change that I think might have contributed, so I reversed that. Fingers crossed it will go back to being stable. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted September 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 So far it's been stable since I made the change, so fingers crossed we can coast along smoothly for a few more years. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
