I ALMOST DIED

Was it down for anyone else? Or were you just planning a surprise party for me?

Yeah that was something.

The site hasn't gone down for more than 30 minutes as far as I can remember. But it does load noticeably slower these past few months. I can get most sites like youtube to load immediately but forum threads and the GWJ site in general can take a good 5-10 seconds.

Yep, I've noticed the slow loading, too. GWJ's getting old and arthritic.

Maybe it only breaks when you're around? :D

Clearly not me in this instance.

I thought it was just me! (Old and arthritic, that is.)

I didn't ALMOST die tonight, I ACTUALLY died. Multiple times. I hope Linode is happy.

Wooo! That was a long morning. I actually had to get some work done!

Well, helplessly watching that outage was interesting... This is the most substantial outage (over 7 hours) we've had with Linode in our years of hosting with them. Thanks for your patience, everyone.

OMFG

Dear Legion,

I'm sorry I almost caused your death.

I swear it was all a coincidence.

Love,

Sean

At least twitter told me what was happening.

I didn't notice. Apparently I was asleep for the entire outage. My crappy work schedule finally works in my favor in some small way.

Judging by the time stamps, I'm glad I didn't stick around last night to see when it'd come back.

Most inept hitman ever. I want my $2 back.

I rebooted my computer last night and walked our of my office and didn't go back in into this morning, and my computer wouldn't turn on. You almost died? The GWJ page caused my power supply to be so traumatized it committed suicide.

What the hell was going on this morning?

It's been going on for over a week for me. I think it's a DoS attack.

It looks like the server had some networking issues following upstream networking issues with Linode over the last couple of days. I rebooted the server to get networking-related things restarted, and we appear to be stable again.

Sorry, that's not a DoS. It's just me refreshing constantly because I am stuck at work with very little to do.

Linode has been having some problems. My company uses it for some things and we were having sporadic problems yesterday.

Damn your soy face.

Yep, Linode has been having their various datacenters systematically DDOS'd since Christmas.

As someone with paying customers hosted there, it sucks.

Is Legion dead yet? Or do we need to keep going?

It's not looking good for Legion.

They're really trying to put you in the hospital, aren't they?

We should get him a new monitor at least. Yeash.

27" 144hz with G-Sync please.
