!Friendica Support Hey lovely people.

So I have a contact that my server can’t update. The Update Contact gets added to the queue and just sits there forever, consuming CPU.

If I go into the MariaDB and delete the worker queue entry, it will be back in a few hours.

If I server block the remote contact, the problem goes away. If I remove the block it comes back.

Is this symptomatic of my database being somehow corrupt, or maybe there’s a problem with that particular remote profile that causes Friendica to fail in a way that never times out (and I’ve left it there for days. It just doesn’t go).

I have no idea how to get diagnostic output from the worker to find out what’s going on. Anyone interested in looking more at this, or should I just block the contact and move on?

It hast nothing to do with your database, I'm convinced. I guess that the probing for that contact has got some issue. Can you name the contact here?

@Michael Vogel Also, blocking the remote contact causes the job to disappear from the queue in a few minutes, so it looks like it's repeatedly trying something and failing, and doesn't ever seem to give up.

@Michael Vogel Update: This is also happening with freesoftwareextremist.com/user…

A common factor is that they both have animated GIF avatars.
