Nothing to worry at this point, I'm scheduling pages until the end of this chapter and HOPEFULLY nothing breaks this time. Or in the near future. Or at all.\r\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\r\nFor those curious, this site is hosted in Netlify and it's all static files generated with Nuxt\u002FVue.js, including each comic page; however, all the page management and database-y stuff is elsewhere in a separate site. Whenever Saturday comes, it runs a command to generate the entire site going through each page. Up until now, there was no problem generating all of the pages but seems like after reaching page 100 or so, that second site couldn't handle all the requests being made at once and it just disconnected from the sheer number of pages being hit up. \r\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\r\nSo I kinda wanted to learn something new for once and set up a DigitalOcean droplet to migrate this secondary site which, I hope, scales better with the ever growing amount of pages. I'm almost sure it's better than just scaling my yearly hosting plan, especially since this site would only recieve requests about once a week and otherwise is never loaded in anyone's computer. Just took a bit of trial and error to set it up again without the ol' reliable cpanel interface. So a few SSH commands later I figured it out and now it's running as it should.\r\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\r\nWhy did I stick around with this configuration you ask? At a point I would've just used the hidden site as the main one with a nicely styled CSS theme but using a SSG (static site generator) like Nuxt helped keeping the page management stuff cleanly separated from all the more visual stuff like animations and UI bits, so I opted to make both of them work together. Would've been okay if it weren't for this scaling issue, but after this incident it'll keep running without a hitch on the technical side. Now the only hurdle is myself getting around actually drawing the pages!",{"rantid":41,"title":61,"pub_date":62,"text":63},"Taking a small break","1686442800","\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fi.imgur.com\u002F7sH1MPu.jpg\" style=\"display: block; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u002F>\r\n\r\nOkay yeah, this has been a bit overdue by the lack of updates if you've been paying attention. I'm taking a small break before posting the next chapter given I need some time to catch up to my backlog. It won't be too long, next update will be on July 1st.\r\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\r\nThat aside, I've been working on different reader settings; I feel like most people nowadays are comfortable reading an entire chapter in a single strip so I wanted to give them that option, plus it's more comfortable when a chapter is finished. If you prefer reading it page-by-page as it currently is, don't worry, I'm not discarding it entirely. Just need to make sure everything works properly, if it's all good I'll add it when the next chapter releases.\r\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\r\n",{"rantid":33,"title":65,"pub_date":66,"text":67},"Wrapping up Chapter 2","1667145600","\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fi.imgur.com\u002FGO08j1z.jpg\" style=\"display: block; max-width: 100%;\"\u002F>\r\n\r\n\r\nChapter 2 is finished now!
