Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc:
Hard refresh after some time seems to work. Maybe the server's tile generation is just too slow?
Yes, I've purged a lot of very old tiles and since making new ones takes a bit of time (2 seconds per tile).... Might take a bit.
Then again, some tiles had not been rerendered since 2014 so......
Note, I'm currently resetting the 'world import' timestamp every single day (invalidating all??? tiles). This is highly resource intensive, but as we cannot access the diffs of the osm db nodes, and because I'm too lazy to investigate how to do it properly, it 'sort of' works (just slow).
If anyone is interested in maintaining the tiles, let me know..
Thank you for bringing me here and your work, @TheDJ! So wouldn't it be reasonable to create them weekly, monthly, ...? A good compromise between too old tiles and too much 404 errors? Sure, perfect solution would render invalid tiles only and every day.
