keep_alive mechanism

[unhinged-teletubby]

I noticed some commits referencing a keep_alive mechanism — ig this being used to prevent the server from going to sleep on render right? are there any downsides like server fatigue, or potential abuse from constant pings?

this being used to prevent the server from going to sleep on render right

basically, yes

are there any downsides like server fatigue, or potential abuse from constant pings

but idk about server fatifure, there were couple of errors like that time to time -- on other projects that were using alive func, not this -- but they were quickly resolved by render itself,

also since its just a func that has while true loop inside of which there is a get req sender w rand time, its supposed to work infintely unlesss there is a limit for while true loop in python (that i dont know about -)
