Thanks for letting us know in advance!

It's a pity for sure but a necessity at the same time I imagine, so I can deal with it.

Good luck!

Edit: Hopefully, the problem with MALGraph will be solved in the process too.

Back-end means logics and algorithms behind the website.

When talking about web development, there are 2 main parts, including front-end and back-end. Front-end is what we see, or simply the user-side. While back-end is how it works in the background, or simply server-side.

If only the original post had a link that anyone could click to find out what that meant in their local time. If only.

Or they could say UTC -7 and you can instantly calculate your local time. Imagine if the rest of the world talked in AQTT time, CHOT time, TAHT time and what ever else the local names are when trying to convey information on a global website.

I am unsure of where to post or add this, but hopefully, with the maintenance, this will be fixed. Recently every other thing I click on MAL, be it an anime or my profile, I get a notification from Malwarebytes saying that a website was blocked due to Riskware. Since I can't add a picture here is exactly what it says:

Domain: requal-alleased.com
IP Address: 34.230.220.28
Port: 443
Type: Outbound
File: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome|Application\chrome.exe

I am in/starting out in Cybersecurity so I am able to block it for now, but I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue with MAL? and can it be patched?

Thank you for your time!

It can also just be the database such as caching in Redis or migrating to a more powerful MySQL instance or whatever database MAL uses.

Not sure what MAL is hosted on but I suspect it might be AWS since they're using Route 53 for DNS. Could also be vertical scaling of the EC2 instances although I don't think that should take more than a few minutes to do.
