Currently performing some maintenance on the server. Some slowdowns and downtime are expected, but hopefully not for too long.

Is this why there were two Anonymous B in that one thread?

No. That was because the board drank too much Franziæ® Orange Blossom White.

That was because the board doesn't lock tables or use transactions when creating replies which causes a race condition. Two users for the first time in a thread at exactly the same time have a chance of being assigned the same poster number. This happens very rarely, but nonetheless is terrible design.

How finely is time resolved for this? To the second, 1/10 second, etc? I've never seen it here before so it is a special thing to be sure.

It's not about time resolution, it happens when two requests are being processed concurrently by the server and they reach that code at the same time.

Yes, but in a grotesque way. The repositories for the server minichan is on didn't see an update yet, and honestly the entire server is crap. It's from some shady vps provider we got a few year ago, currently moving to another server.

It’s probably on the order of less than 0.01 seconds.

I had to manually change /etc/apt/sources.list and perform the upgrade on 16 servers today :P

Move is complete, everything appears to be functioning but I may have missed something. Please let me know here or on http://minichan.org/chat if anything appears broken!
