Service update: more network fun.

Service update: more network fun.
Continuing to have intermittent connectivity issues with our London datacentre (Aendra's flat)
Service update: we had a localised network outage earlier so it might take awhile for the inference server to catch up with backlog

Service update: I've figured out why Ozone isn't accepting appeals, apparently there was a lexicon change or something which meant we had to explicitly configure it to accept appeals and not just reports.
Appealing a label should work now, sorry that took so long to fix!

There is an issue with appeals not submitting properly, I'm investigating that today. I hoped it would be as simple as restarting Ozone but alas nothing in life is that easy.

Open to feedback: our moderation efforts have really slowed down so it's taking longer than it should to action appeals (apologies!).
I'm thinking, should the appeals process be semi-automated? I've refrained because it's somewhat open to abuse but I suspect it would help more than hinder.

The Ozone instance appears to be struggling, please bear with me as I figure out what's up

The queue was indeed the issue, there's a 4M post backlog (likely from that week it was down) and newer posts were being put at the very end so by the time a post is processed it's super old and everyone's seen it already. 🙈
I've switched it to process newer posts first so hopefully that'll help! 🤞🏼

Restarted the auto-labelling process and am running into issues with the Redis queue, it seems stable now but will investigate further later.

I think there's a connectivity issue with the Ozone instance at the moment and labels aren't correctly propagating, or the model's needing retraining, or something. Please bear with me as I troubleshoot this. 🙏🏼

Uh sorry I have no idea how long things must've been down for. I should seriously migrate this machine to Linux already
Me, back after a week and seeing @xblock.aendra.dev still running: "Oh hell yeah!"
Me, realising Windows somehow changed my power profile to suspend hard drives after 20 minutes and there's massive queue back pressure suddenly while it chews through a week of firehose: "No... No!!"

I've moved all the firehose parsing to the cloud so expect to see some labels now. 🤞🏼
XBlock's down at the moment because my local network can't keep up with the firehose and it keeps knocking my household offline. Please bear with me, I'm going to lift the firehose parsing to cloud in the next day or two and hope to restore service.

Something is totally busted with our local infrastructure right now and I can't seem to keep the firehose consumer running for longer than two hours without it bringing down my entire network. I'm going to need to replatform some infrastructure this weekend, wooo yay lucky me.

Okay I think we're back.
Anything posted in the last like 5 days won't be labelled, because these random appview disconnects are impossible to anticipate and fixing them means resetting the appview's cursor. It's really stupid.

Service update: I think something's up with the AppView ingesting labels right now, I'm noticing posts I've labelled still appearing.
I'll investigate that tomorrow but in the meantime apologies if things are working rather poorly.

Apologies, the Jetstream consumer went down again; I've since restarted it. I'm going to try to find some time this weekend to write some code to automate this, your patience is appreciated.

Still no dice, sorry. Service is effectively offline until this is sorted.
