An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

Zombies shuffle through the mist, hungry for anyone who strays from the path, while restless ghosts whisper directions that lead only deeper into darkness. Witches stir their bubbling cauldrons, preparing curses for unsuspecting guests, and evil creatures crouch in the shadows, waiting for the last lantern to flicker out. Run if you dare, scream if you must, but the boats have vanished from the shore—and the Isles never surrender a soul.

I changed asset cache settings. assets stored in s3 bucket and cached using squid.

in a month, 43.7 million requests with avg 2.8ms latency, but using over 70% inodes on root, which is a concern, so i moved cache directory to dedicated 1tb drive.

previous:

Percent Used: 43.75%
Filemap bits in use: 1179867 of 2097152 (56%)
Filesystem Space in use: 413762900/916656380 KB (45%)
Filesystem Inodes in use: 41617829/58391712 (71%)


current:

Percent Used: 27.37%
Filemap bits in use: 1181346 of 2097152 (56%)
Filesystem Space in use: 224359048/921816860 KB (24%)
Filesystem Inodes in use: 1189583/58720032 (2%)

inodes to 2% is a good improvement. I increased the size of RAM cache a bit from 32GB to 48Gb which should help decrease latency.

no assets were harmed during this production. hehe

October winds whisper softly through the trees,
Serenading autumn's dance in harmonies of leaves...
