there are two times there the clock skips by almost 1 minute.
already checked other log files on the server and there is literally no data writen to any log other then ntp.log at this time.
there are no backup tasks etc. running at this time.
the server is a VMWARE virtual machine, and time synchronization with the host has been disabled.

Why does Puma mess up incoming requests? (timed out worker)

Problem
I have a Rails 7 app deployed on render.com, and it doesn't get a lot of traffic (maybe once per day). However, when a few requests do come in, everything seems to running fine for a moment until Puma seems to barf. The incoming requests are from Twilio for a voice call, and the call eventually errors with "We're sorry, an application error has occurred. Goodbye". It seems like something about a "timed out" worker happens, then the worker boots, and whammo! a flood of "Completed 2XX OK" and "Kredis Connected to shared" lines come crashing through like they've been pent up the entire time. THEN, nearly a day later without any outside requests coming in, several log lines about Out-of-sync worker list, no 78 worker come through. My Puma config file is unchanged from what ships with Rails.
Questions
Where might I go look for the offending code? What tools could help me decipher why a Puma worker is timing out? Could it have something to do with how I'm using Redis via Kredis in my app?
Workaround
To get around this issue, I've started to occasionally redeploy my latest commit and that seems to help. I'm not certain, but it seems like inactivity causes Puma to become discombobulated.
Log output
Here's what the offending lines in my log file look like:

Redis standalone stop working (timeouts) on master replica sync

We use a redis cache in out kubernetes cluster which stops working really randomly. It's a Standalone version based on this image: bitnami/redis:6.0.15
As custom parameters we use:
MASTER true
REDIS_AOF_ENABLED no
Every time when the redis stop working I see the following logs:

Then I see that the queue increase, but I need to kill the pod to restart redis otherwise it will not work anymore.

Has anyone an idea?
Thank you.
Can you check if the redis service is running? kubectl get service/redis. It seems like the service is unable to receive traffic, which is possible if there are no pods to receive it.

Streamsets Service does not start any more

I just upgraded my MapR Cluster and I am trying to start Streamsets. However I get the following Error:

I can see the stage-lib in question in the streamsets-libs directory. This used to work seamlessly before. What am I doing wrong?

App is Crashing on iPod Touch First and Second Generation

My released app (Hidden London - Free App) has been reported as crashing on iPod touch 2nd and 3rd Generation. It works without issue on iPhone and iPad.

Could anyone help me start to troubleshoot why this might be happening on the iPod Touch?
The hint to why your app is crashing is Received memory warning. Level=1. You're out of memory. This could be the amount of RAM your app is using for data structures, but I've more typically seen this type of error when you run out of graphics memory - i.e. the memory used to composite views, cache images, etc. The total amount of RAM on gen 1 and 2 iPod touches is only 128MB. Gen 3 and 4 bumped that to 256MB.
The memory related info in your log starts with jetsam: kernel memory event (90), free: 323, active: 1250, inactive: 1494, purgeable: 0, wired: 7841, which is a "low memory" warning message. You then see a whole bunch of apps being terminated by the OS (Exited: Killed and exited abnormally with signal 9: Killed). This is the documented behaviour of iOS in low memory conditions - it kills apps until it has enough free memory.
I believe that your application is using a lot of memory, and as a result it gets killed by the operating system.

Audio not playing when iPhone is sleeping

I would like to know one thing. I hope you people can guide me well.
I am creating an application which needs some audio alerts. I am using AVAudioPlayer for this purpose.
I also set the Audio session like this (in my main delegate class):
//to play from sleep
OSStatus result = AudioSessionInitialize(NULL, NULL, interruptionListenerCallback, self);
UInt32 category = kAudioSessionCategory_MediaPlayback;
result = AudioSessionSetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory, sizeof(category), category);
AudioSessionSetActive(YES);
I am able to play music if my screen is locked forcefully, but I am not able to play mp3 files if the iPhone go into sleep mode automatically.
In general after 10 minutes I am not getting any music from my application. Could anyone tell me what I am missing? Please guide me if you know about my problem.
EDIT 1
I am currently using kAudioSessionCategory_MediaPlayback.
I written it in my code, i pasted it here.
EDIT 2
I want to start a audio play back from a sleeping iphone.
Please help me if you know.
EDIT 3
idleTimerDisabled , consume my battery ?
I am creating a alarm so this application can run up to 10 hours.
It will disable light on screen?
then i can use it.
I already seen some application which running on iPhone which play music from sleep mode.
Let me try this, thank you for the reply.
I found the answer already on SO in this thread here and also in this thread on SO.
What's happening is that the iPhone goes into deep sleep mode after 10 minutes (after the screen is locked) where it stops your NSTimer's and goes into lower power mode. Even when you have the category set to MediaPlayback it will do this unless you are actually playing a sound. The solution given is to play a "silent" sound file periodically to prevent it from going into deep sleep mode.
Here's what I see in the console log at the time deep sleep occurs (the Warnings are from my clock app):

You need to use a different Audio Session Category. You can check the documentation here.
I think the one you should use is kAudioSessionCategory_MediaPlayback.
To prevent your app from being silenced after n minutes, you might also need to set the UIApplication's idleTimerDisabled property to YES.
You should try this
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setDelegate: self];
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:nil];
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive: YES error: nil];
