Specifically, does it use piles and piles of RAM like Google and no hard drives?
And how long are posts kept?

View Full Version : How does Techzonez keep records? wumply April 24th, 2006, 21:59 PM Specifically, does it use piles and piles of RAM like Google and no hard drives? And how long are posts kept? phishhead April 24th, 2006, 23:06 PM everything is on a database server and the forum you see is just basically a GUI pointing and making calls to the database. this is in lamen terms though you would have to wait for richard or rev to get technical. Reverend April 25th, 2006, 21:19 PM As phish said all the data is written to and stored in a database. The database is kept on a hard drive within our server. There is no fixed timeline for posts. misskellibad1 April 26th, 2006, 00:57 AM OMG,I didn't realize this! So there's a pretty good chance that somebody could read about the time that I ****** with the ****** OMG.....haha I guess I'll have to remember to tone it down! lol ;) Hi all,glad to be back! Hope everyone's doing alright! MKB rik April 26th, 2006, 01:30 AM You need to drop in more often MKB. phishhead April 26th, 2006, 03:32 AM what a way to make an entrance. welcome back. Richard April 26th, 2006, 18:32 PM Yup, when it gets full, I'll start having to write the posts down on paper and filing them away rik April 27th, 2006, 13:18 PM Ya could just use a bunch of Post-It notes Richard. ;) wumply April 27th, 2006, 13:55 PM Touche (re rik's comment!) wumply May 2nd, 2006, 01:25 AM Richard: Seriously, this time...I don't know how long Techzonez has been around, but my curiosity is bugging me. How does it work? Do you just have 1 humungous HD or have you somewhere along the line had to erase or just substitute a brand new drive. I mean how long does it take to fill up a HD. Conan May 2nd, 2006, 08:12 AM A hard drive isn't going to get filled up by just a Forum Database. Big Booger May 2nd, 2006, 08:40 AM Because no one, and I mean absolutely no one here told the truth, I feel compelled: http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/3619/scribe9dp.th.jpg (http://img45.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scribe9dp.jpg) We have a scribe at TZ who puts it all in manually. wumply May 2nd, 2006, 15:19 PM Well, Conan, maybe so...but if one keeps adding stuff and never removing it, any container fills up...now, you'd not be pulling my leg, would you? Or would you? Reverend May 2nd, 2006, 18:23 PM but if one keeps adding stuff and never removing it, any container fills upYes, but if the container is large enough it will take years to fill it up. ;) wumply May 2nd, 2006, 19:56 PM Point taken. So how big is your HD and do you have an idea as to the size of most posts? And how much of it is currently filled? petard May 2nd, 2006, 20:00 PM So many questions...... wumply May 2nd, 2006, 20:30 PM Yep! Computers and how they work...how things are done fascinates me. So does much of life for that matter. Reverend May 2nd, 2006, 22:15 PM Point taken. So how big is your HD and do you have an idea as to the size of most posts? And how much of it is currently filled?80Gb HDD. Database is approx 145 Mb. wumply May 2nd, 2006, 22:39 PM Thanks, Rev. 145 MB is .18% of 80 GB if my math is correct. Sure ain't much! The figures really give a vivid picture of just how HUGE 80 GB is in terms of storage! Curio May 11th, 2006, 12:01 PM Holy Cow - according to WBM techzonez ceased to exist last year!! Way Back Machine - Techzonez (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.techzonez.com) cash_site May 11th, 2006, 23:41 PM nice server, plenty of space for backups, just incase BB starts his spring pruning sessions! :D cmputrskillme May 16th, 2006, 23:24 PM Hee hee hee, Rev, somebody asked how "Big" your HD was...... :omg: I know, I'm ornery as cat dirt tonight! Confusious say: "Tis not the size of a man's HD that matters, it's the warranty and how fast it runs!" :smoke: Put that in yer book scribe! :D Sharon rik May 17th, 2006, 04:04 AM :rolleyes: piaqt June 8th, 2006, 01:12 AM Sooner or later, every thread devolves to sex. cash_site June 8th, 2006, 05:17 AM Thanks, Rev. 145 MB is .18% of 80 GB if my math is correct. Sure ain't much! The figures really give a vivid picture of just how HUGE 80 GB is in terms of storage! True that 145 mb is small, but imagine how many websites there are on the internet.. Google has most of them indexed at around 8 billion.. so 8 billion x 100mb = OMFG a lot of HD space !! Also, 80gb for the techzonez server, is that allocated for our use? or is that just was in on the server where TZ is installed? what other websites are on the same drive? cmputrskillme June 8th, 2006, 06:59 AM Sooner or later, every thread devolves to sex. Hmmmm, well, I think that Rik and I have this mutual unspoken "lust" for "technical" things...... :D rik June 8th, 2006, 17:28 PM uh yeah...*cough cough* Technical things...mm hmm, that's it http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1086/sneaky14gv.gif (http://imageshack.us) Reverend June 8th, 2006, 19:40 PM Also, 80gb for the techzonez server, is that allocated for our use? or is that just was in on the server where TZ is installed? what other websites are on the same drive?It is our own dedicated server where we host TZ and Richards' (TZ server god ;) ) webhosting forums. piaqt June 8th, 2006, 20:28 PM Well, at least someone worships Richard. phishhead June 8th, 2006, 20:37 PM uh yeah...*cough cough* Technical things...mm hmm, that's it http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1086/sneaky14gv.gif (http://imageshack.us) rik is that what you named yours. cash_site June 9th, 2006, 00:51 AM It is our own dedicated server where we host TZ and Richards' (TZ server god ;) ) webhosting forums. LOL... does that mean its running out of his home PC connected on broadband?! :p Seriously, You and Richard are doing a great job with this server, with almost 100% uptime! It runs soo smooth, that gzip compression trick works well ;) Sooner or later, every thread devolves to sex. I guess if we cant do anything at the Library (cos BB booked 8 hours already), then we have to get it someplace ;)
