The server maintenance conducted last night was considerably more challenging than initially anticipated. Unfortunately, the anticipated 20 minutes of down time ended up being, intermittently, around three hours. Hopefully, that is not the case tonight.
CTH server containers are anti-fragile, privacy protected and a little ‘technically heavy’ in the modern era of optimized data networks. In order to ensure last night’s fix was identified and implemented accurately, another maintenance test is needed tonight. “This maintenance is being performed to exercise prior changes made and validate that we’ve fully resolved the issue.”
Unfortunately, there may be site disruption after 9:00pm ET tonight. Engineers say disruption should last around 20 minutes; however, they said the same thing last night.
My apologies in advance.
Love to all,
Sundance
Thank you for the heads up and all you do!
I’m sending a donation right now – adore you Sundance and crew and without you all I’d be so very lost, frustrated and even more miserable than I already am under a Joe Biden “stolen” election presidency. Thank you for all your hard work and the sanity you bring me ❤️
“I just want to tell you both, good luck. We’re all counting on you.”
Thank you!
Sundance and his helpers are the greatest!
Thank you!
You good,,,no biggie
Lol!! The cutest face!!
Thank you Sundance!!
And love back at you.
No problem…most of us fully understood. Thank you for all you do to keep us all updated and in the know on what’s happening around this country and the world. It’s sooo appreciated!
A little downtime for maintenance is much better than a lot of downtime for an unexpected event.
A stitch in time saves nine..
Thank you so much for your perennial thoughtfulness, Sundance, as well as for all your efforts.
No prob, git er done!
Godspeed, always.
Oh my goodness, what a precious little face.
So earnestly pissed off!! I love this one!
I’ve moved twice. I can’t remember the password.
Best of luck to you!
Sundance and Crew , Plus Maintenance Crew , Equals the VERY BEST 🥰
Even though I knew about the *downtime* last
night ,, I thought I was well past it when I tried to log on and couldn’t !
Yikes ! My heart kinda started beating fast and my breathing became shallow (if You Know the Feeling) !
Finally , Success , but for a few minutes I worried !!!
Thank You All for Every Big and Little Thing You Do 💐😊💖
Know the feeling!! The Treehouse is way too important to lose!
Absolutely , Rick !
It is a thought I try Never
to have .
Thank you for letting us know!
I wish more citizens were “anti-fragile”!
Thanks for the notice and comments about last night’s efforts.
In the field of I.T., many of us have learned the hard way – “Stuff happens!”
Even the best, sometimes require a little down time. Much respect to you and your team Sundance. Whether the disruption lasts 20 minutes or 20 hours, matters not. The Treeper family will be waiting.
Thank you. Prayers for you and all those who help keep up the good fight.
Not a problem. Thank you! Godspeed !!!
Security and robust IT systems come at a cost.
.
I am fairly certain there will be much probing of CTH in the coming months.
.
Now is the prefect time for in depth tests and simulated attacks.
.
There is likely certain attacks happen here everyday in the Treehouse, it is simply the nature of free speech and expression.
.
But when state resources ( from some nation or another ) are used things get to a whole other level.
.
This is just me prognosticating because I have no firsthand knowledge of this site.
.
Blessings to all Sundance and all Treepers!
No apology needed, Sundance, better to have the server protected, especially with all that happened last year, than not.
Years ago the PA Department of Transportation used to post this sign when road work was in process: Temporary Inconvenience, Permanent Improvement. It was NEVER permanent!
Love to y’all too, and thank you from my heart for your caring and all you do to help us all prepare and understand.
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
“There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to… The Outer Limits.”
Don’t forget the theme music from Jaws. chuckling
That brings back memories!
I loved the Twilight Zone, but for well written science fiction at that time The Outer Limits was by far more edgy for it’s time.
They are both on Pluto TV usually on Saturday and Sunday or they have an on demand you can watch them both anytime.
Watching some of the episodes come very close to where we are today.
Control the horizontal and vertical? How old does one have to be to know what that means?
A little older than I am. Maybe twenty years.
😉
They will stop at nothing to have us silenced. Take every precaution you believe necessary.
Thank you for the warning. I was so scared not to be able to open any emails from Sundance last night! I immediately thought of FBI raids and out of control rogue agents. And why wouldn’t I in this day and age 🙁
“CTH server containers are anti-fragile, privacy protected and a little ‘technically heavy’ in the modern era of optimized data networks.” What, precisely, in plain English does that mean? I am a humble very smart and highly educated person, and I can’t make head nor tail of such gobbledegook.
It means he is prepared for the worst.
That cat though! 😂
Whatever it takes, so we can be free.
So… does this mean that the pod has been set, the site owner has nodded off, the communication devise off the hook.. with said proprietor waking up rather humorless and inclined to give out flippant responses where appropriate…??
ORrrrr…
Has Sundance finally received his custom-made pair of lab-grown, new-n-improved Hoffman contacts?
Guess we’ll find out soon…
Cheers ‘;]
Happy trails.
I will await your return! Godspeed and go with Blessings! I retire early (8pm) and arise early (5am). I hope to see you in the morning! 🙂
Sundance — whatever you have to do is fine by us. (And yes, I am speaking for all the Treepers.)
Please consider donating, as without this site — many, many of us would be lost!
The Conservative Treehouse (and Sundance) are truly a treasure.
And, we must never forget that.
And that’s why cats fighting over chicken had to wait … let’s see how Cursday goes …
Well Worth the Wait , Leon 😊
Thank you, Sundance!
Don’t mess it up! 🙂. And Good Luck!
Worth it just for the picture of that kittay.
He looks how I feel since…at least 2013, maybe longer.
Sundance & team you are the best!! kept me sane since I found CTH in 2015 around when our REAL President Donald Trump came down the escalator.
Sundance,
Love Your Kitty. Probably a real Purr bug.
That little kitty looks like someone crop dusted in it’s face.
Sundance you and your crew are so very awesome…
I’m praying that all goes well tonight with the updates, and I bet everyone else is.
Thank You & we await the good news.
Feeling Feline!
Loving the site now!!! Was very frustrating before. I go to the site daily each morning, is one of only 3 sites I visit religiously. Am very excited about the new functionality!! Thank you.
”My apologies in advance.”
Absolvo te , dear Sundance , Sir !

“We’re sorry, and the person responsible has been sacked.” If this continues, we’ll sack those who sacked the sacked.
Love the cat!!!! LOL
That’s a good lookin’ cat !
That Adorable Kitty looks like he hit a Wrong Note on his Guitar that is in the shadows on the right side top of what looks like Kitty’s Bed 😄 Cute Pic 😾
Love the kitty pic! LOL!
Prune those dangling images
