Without me changing anything, my Discourse forum https://lilypond.community suddenly started returning an error page for any request with login cookies: Oops The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Detailed information ab…

[image] Ed_S: I would like my self-hosted forum to run unattended even if github (and discourse.org ) fell into a very deep hole. :100: It is completely unacceptable to be any other way.

[image] Ed_S: I would like my self-hosted forum to run unattended even if And it will — unless an admin says .launcher rebuild app. Or what am I missing now?

@Ed_S I think I found the issue and I have a PR for it, can you check to see if it touches the area you saw with issues? FIX: Stop new-feature checks reaching GitHub during requests (#43143) main ← new-features-no-git-in-requests …

[image] Falco: FIX: Stop new-feature checks reaching GitHub during requests - Pull Request #43143 - discourse/discourse - GitHub oh, nice, that does seem to me to have the right shape! (Edit: I read the commentary, not the code!) For interest, when you say per process, is that per pitchfork…

[image] Ed_S: For interest, when you say per process, is that per pitchfork? Yes, exactly. I think this was caused by a way way too eager want of telling people about new features, in the current user serializer of all places, paired with a 3 years old change that moved us away from the norm…

[image] Falco: @Ed_S and @jeanas you both admins on the affected instances right? This should only affect admins while GitHub is down. Yes, exactly, I could log in with another account but not with my admin account.

Cool I have merged the PR . Update when it hits the release channel you run, then wait a couple of days for GitHub to go down again and let me know how it goes during it.

great, thanks. Just to confirm, I’m an admin, I have two mods, and one of those was affected. So, either it affects all staff, or it affects all logged-in users. I was OK with incognito access. And in my case, I could log in some of the time with much delay - I wasn’t entirely locked out.

Awesome, thanks a lot for the quick fix!
