Its a dumb movie, and its only scary if you've never seen anything labeled as 'Horror'.

Thanks for hosting the server. Scaling while being slammed is tough! I've noticed a few times the server is too loaded and try to come back later. With reddit down you're essentially feeling 'the slashdot effect' (is that still a thing? lol). I'll keep coming back and checking =)

I've done infra/ops for years, and been in your situation more than once. Take your time, you'll get it all sorted out. John Allspaw wrote a good book about this subject, "The Art of Capacity Planning: Scaling Web Resources". There is a new edition out that I haven't read, but all of the lessons learned in that book are still applicable today. The biggest thing that helped me was learning haproxy and figuring out how to spread out the load, minimize response times, as well as queue time.

Nice, I have a iPod, but I mostly use my Zune to listen to tunes. I used to have a iAudio X5L for DAP goodness, running Rockbox even. Could play flacs for days. Loved that thing.. lost it in a move though :(

Deleted my 13 year old account this morning as well. I'm sure the executives all have golden parachutes, so it doesn't matter if or when they fail. But they will fail.

Sup nerds. I'm Miah, I'm from Western Michigan. I'm a UNIX/Linux nerd, Right to Repair advocate, and transgender woman. I've been working on our cars by myself and would love to make some car nerd friends. My wife and I have 24 chickens, and a budding garden.
