They have tools that let you cross-post effortlessly, so that’s strange.

I was on-call and half awake when I got paged about a cache server’s memcached being down for the third time that night. They’d all start to go down like dominoes if you weren’t fast enough at restarting the service, which could overwhelm the database and messaging tiers (baaaaad news to say the least). Two more had their daemon shit the bed while I was examining it. Often it was best to just kick it on all of them to rebalance things. It was… not a great design.

So I wrote a quick loop to ssh in and restart the service on each box in the tier to refresh them all just in case and hopefully stop the incessant pages. Well. In my bleary eyed state I set reboot in the variable instead of restart. Took out the whole cache tier (50+) and the web site. First and only time I did that but that definitely woke me up. Oddly enough the site ran better after that for months as my reboots uncovered an undiscovered problem.

CEO is a bigot, too.

True. They’ve come a long way.

Same for me.

Going to dump it when the wife’s done with school. I was only keeping it for that and one game. So sick of subscriptions and the product isn’t even good except for Excel.

Vaxee, Zowie and Endgame Gear make the highest quality mice I’ve tried. The first two have onboard configuration with no software necessary. But if you need the side to side wheel navigation, Logitech.

Jokes aside, you can do different stage installs where you don’t have to compile the whole OS. However I feel like the quality has dropped during the past few years and it requires too much tinkering. Back when everything was on spinning rust, the performance difference was very noticeable though.

Used them since the company started but stopped this year due to the cost going up. Never had an issue.

Hackernews is usually reliable to see what the new hotness is. But yeah this is a frequent problem.
