UPDATE ON ALIASING
 
Over the next couple of weeks we will be moving to Philomena and there are a lot more jobs running that compete for the same resources that aliasing needs.
 
When an alias request is running and there are other jobs in the queue, I’ve seen jobs that used to complete in 5 or 10 minutes take hours to complete. In fact, I’ve got one running right now that has been going for almost half a day. It’s working, but the legacy site has a lot going on right now.
 
When we get to Philomena the new system will make all of this incredibly faster, so I will get caught up, but for the next couple of weeks aliasing will be happening much more slowly.
 
I’ll keep looking for opportunities to submit new alias jobs, but I want to be careful to run them one at a time. Having two or more aliasing jobs running at the same time really chugs the legacy site down.

It’s all actually remarkably normal. It’s just computers, tons of fan art, and a legacy core composed by dozens of volunteers, over 8 years. A dream, given form. Its goal: to preserve images of Trixie, by creating a place where humans and ponies can work out their differences peacefully. It’s a port of call – home away from home – for artists, fans, volunteers, and memers. Humans and ponies, a million five hundred thousand unique visitors a month reading and writing data from a warehouse of spinning metal . . . all alone in the night.
 
It can be a dangerous place, but it’s our last best hope for peace.
 
This is the story of the last of the Boorus. The year is 2019. The name of the place is Derpibooru.

Several, but I’m not going to submit any more right now. The one I started this afternoon is having trouble so I’m going to wait until it’s complete before trying any others.
 
If this is really some bug, adding more alias requests to the queue will only compound the problem.
 
Like I said earlier, I’ll pick it up again during the day.
 
And, to clarify, I always do them one at a time, waiting until each is complete before starting the next. It usually never takes more than a minute or two at the most for them to complete. This is an unusual situation, but not unexpected.

Fingers crossed - I’m going to try using Philomena for some aliasing. If it works as expected, it should be DRAMATICALLY faster … hmm … ok, that’s not working yet. I’ll keep using Derpibooru On Rails and will keep testing Philomena as features become available.
 
NOTE TO FOLKS HELPING WITH ARTIST TAGS
 
The X -> Y format is broken on Philomena - this is known and has been reported. For now, just use Derpibooru On Rails if it’s a problem.
 
NEEDS MORE WORK
 
• -> artist:phenya : Index is broken after aliasing - Reindex on Philomena
