asherkin added a comment to T13296: PCRE segfaults after "fork()" on PHP 7.3+ on MacOS with "pcre.jit" enabled.

The changelog for PHP 7.3.6 mentions "Fixed possible crashes, because of inconsistent PCRE cache and opcache SHM reset." which might be relevant, but no bug link so who knows.

asherkin added a comment to T13203: Arcanist Wilds Patch Notes (Ongoing).

As a note, we make quite a bit of use of --arcrc-file currently to "handle" multiple people working as root on dev VMs, but we can probably migrate that over to --conduit-token anyway (although we're a way off hitting this, because as much as I want drafts, other people consider T4678: Support changelist-based SVN workflows in Arcanist and Differential critical and we're on a fork because of that.)

asherkin added a comment to T13135: Chrome does not play some videos with type "video/quicktime", but does play them with type "video/mp4".

My knowledge is centred around broadcast video / IPTV (UDP multicast) rather than HTML5 video, but that seems fairly reasonable. I don't think anything should try and download the file twice unless it is a complete clownshoes implementation that probably has multiple other serious bugs wasting bandwidth. I think the worst case with no type that might be hit here is that the browser could decide to download the entire file on load to figure out the format and duration, rather than starting with byte-range requests, but this is easy to test and unlikely (I'd expect any sane one to always request chunks).

Have you tried changing SSH options on your end, such as disabling compression or using weaker encryption ciphers (such as arcfour, no encryption cant be done without agreement of the server)? This can make a significant difference with SSH transfer speeds, and may function as a decent workaround for now.

asherkin added a comment to T11103: Browser do not connect to aphlict (notification) server using ssl terminating nginx reverse proxy.

Configuring the Preamble script is important for reverse-proxied configurations (you probably need to set REMOTE_ADDR up as well), and required for many things - which is why it is part of the install guide.

asherkin added a comment to T11103: Browser do not connect to aphlict (notification) server using ssl terminating nginx reverse proxy.

We ran into this on a recent install - the fix was to configure the Preamble script to tell Phabricator it was being accessed over HTTPS (else it filtered out the HTTPS notification server) - check to see if "Connected" or "Disconnected" at the bottom of the notification popup (menu at the top of the screen - see this install). If you just get a grey bar at the bottom without either, you're hitting the same case where the client doesn't think it has a valid notification server.
