[NOOOOOOOOOOOO!]

Hey everyone,

We've gotten some very helpful reports so far; in order to further narrow down the problem's exact cause it would be really helpful if someone who files a future bug report in Jira regarding this issue could include their viewer logs for the session where they got disconnected on teleport.

[Constant error 503 in last hours using llHTTPRequest]

Next time this occurs @NeevaBecketEmagan could you please file a BUG at https://jira.secondlife.com with the region the DNS failure happened on, the time and date the failure happened, how you found out that the failure happened, and what you were trying to request (minus any sensitive data that may be sent with the request). Thanks!

Does anyone know why LL eliminated the quarterly membership tier for new members?? Ugh...soon they will also get rid of it for exhisting quarterlies

I was not in the decision making or testing loop for that decision at all, and I haven't asked around of the people who were, so I can't speak with any authority on the subject. What I can tell you about is a friend of mine who started a small subscription business, who observed that after the discount she was giving for annual users she still made more money per month off those users because of the fixed portion of the credit card processing fees she had to pay for monthly subscribers.

Hi everyone,

 

I just wanted to let you know that I've updated the Server Deploy Plan for the week to reflect that we're actively working on this issue.

"depreciation" is the fall in value of an asset, often an accounting fiction to spread the cost over several years in a way that is agreed by the tax collectors.

"deprecated" and "deprecation" are probably what you are trying for, but it isn't the correct word for when you actually stop using a method. It's the word for the method being still there, but you're telling people to stop using it. You describe flash video as "deprecated".

That's what I get for posting release notes while half asleep!

I am confused.  According to the release notes of the code rolled to the RC channels Bluesteel and LeTigre last week (19.03.22.525531), UDP fetch was deprecated (sic) last week.  So what is being deprecated this week?

This is the same release as last week's roll to BlueSteel and LeTigre, with an added fix to make sure data shows up for newly added estate managers as well as some internal fixes.

RC Cake is a teeny tiny channel (we ought to call it RC Cakepop it's so small) we're currently using to iron out some transient network issues with our newest OS update release before it goes to a full RC. You may see it get a bit larger soon just so we can collect some additional data.

Hello everyone! Apologies for the late deploy plans this week.

Today we rolled the latest RC to Second Life Server containing a new round of internal fixes. We're also updating the ongoing EEP Snack RC on Wednesday 2018-11-21 during the RC update window. None of the other RCs are slated for a roll during that time.

As always, if any region has reached 14 days of uptime, it will be restarted during the 7-10:30 AM PST RC update window.

Well, stop wasting time posting here and FIX MOAR THINGZ!  Thankyew.

Oh gosh, I don't think you want that. Me trying to fix things tends to end up with lots of other things broken and the one thing I was trying to fix sitting in the middle of the wreckage, unscathed. I just find the broken stuff for our awesome developers.

[What's your IRL job?]

As you might guess from my last name, I work at Linden Lab. Hi!

I work on the Second Life Quality Assurance team chasing down all manner of odd, mundane, showstopper, or just minor bugs in Second Life, including the Second Life simulators, servers, and more besides. I've been a Resident for what feels like forever, and this is honestly the best job I've had in my years of QA. I love what I do (even when I have to wear shrek ears!) and my coworkers are the best in the world at what they do.
