Xhale Development

Xhale Development. Updates on Xhale from behind the scenes. Email [email protected] if you have a problem or let us know here if easy to describe.

We put a message on the dashboard of anyone using Twitter to sign in when this happened previously that we were reviewing our continued use of this service (and actually Facebook too perhaps). We definitely now consider Sign in with Twitter no longer trustworthy going forward.

There has been an attitude change from Twitter since the purchase by Elon Musk to break things without warning in the name of innovation. That's fine, but this could easily have been handled better and means we can't rely on them for a critical feature.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

Twitter temporarily reactivated our access to using Sign in with Twitter, but this morning suspended it again. Although their suspension message describes how to reset it this time, their instructions do not work and they have failed to answer our support requests.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

Given the recent history of decisions by Twitter since the purchase of the company by Elon Musk, even if this is quickly fixable there is a loss of trust here which is probably critical.

Unfortunately "Login with Twitter" is currently broken due to a change in rules at Twitter that they have not communicated properly and given us no obvious path to migrate. We have contacted Twitter support for an explanation. Please use your email to login for now.

Well, there is a clear correlation between this Heart Rate Variability measurement and an illness followed by busting my toe. It's hinting at heading back up again after starting to run again. Interesting to see.

@t74776974746572 We do make use of cloud services to some degree. But for the rest, various cloud solutions would have complicated or confined our infrastructure for no compelling advantage. Despite the recent issue, major cloud providers have shown similar levels of reliability problems as well.

It's certainly the same problem as yesterday, so I'm hopeful they will resolve things a little quicker. Xhale is running happily as normal in the background, you just may not be able to reach it because of a power issue in the network.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

We've got signs of life again. Thank you for your patience and again I'm sorry about this. I'll follow up when I hear more and hopefully the root cause to the power issue will be sorted soon. But we look good for now.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

Our apologies again. Our London data center appears to be having further connectivity issues tonight. They had planned emergency maintenance this evening, but it looks like the problem re-emerged before they could carry that out. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

And it looks like the fix is fully implemented now. Thank you for your patience. Hopefully that's the end of it except for an investigation into what happened.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

It looks like our server remained operational the whole time, but the connection to it was not working. The fix is ongoing apparently, so the connection may be intermittent.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

Okay, we seem to be live again. Not had confirmation if that is it now or intermittently on, but the site is coming up again right now. Thank you for your patience.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

It's possibly a power issue.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

We've just sent out an email about this, but oddly I can't send to coaches on our list without getting approval because we've reached some sort of account limit. Sorry coaches ☹️

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

The team at the data center have identified the problem and a fix is being implemented. Thank you for your patience.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

We apologise if you are having trouble connecting with Xhale at the moment. There is a general connectivity issue at the data center in London we use. This will be affecting many companies, so you should expect the team responsible are working on this with urgency.

[Xhale Development @xhale_dev]

Finally found time to deep dive into the heart rate variability research.
