Drupal is great if you have a 10gigabit link between your web & database servers.

more than likely a dedicated server.

Sounds like it will crash a lot :P

Uhh, what? You're telling me that the government would have AXFR write permissions on every privately run dns server in existence? What about those that exist outside of the united states? Anyone can run their own dns server that queries the root nameservers. Anyone can run their own dns server that contains only records of their choosing. The very existence of this idea isn't realistic in any way, and would only really make sense if it granted the government access to the major route registries, but even that idea is nearly impossible to mandate.

Or you could just hire one of those millions of people who's skillset includes tar, gzip, mysqldump/pgdump, rsync and simple bind configuration.

I always thought okcupid was the official dating site of last.fm users.

Regardless, nobody in chicago seems to care for steely dan, flipper, and landlord.

Nice site though. The ui is tasty.

It's all in the dns:

Some time ago (I'm not sure if they still exist), there was a group on livejournal called "ontd", aka "oh know they didn't". They operated the same kind of platform you've made here, only there was a bit more moderation.

Do you remove images after a certain period of time? When I was running photos.cx some years ago, I never deleted any images (unless they received a dmca complaint). About a petabyte of outbound transfers later, I had maybe about 190GB worth of images.

I'm fond of your design, but I'm pretty sure you're going to catch the wrath of 4chan if they come across this. Just look at what happened to stickam after they showed up.

Could you provide an always-reliable example? Even anycast has it's downfalls (rogue networks advertising blocks & rerouting traffic onto their networks, security disaster). Most clustered setups rely on a central storage, and if your storage box loses connectivity, your site will be down. Additionally, if you're going to recommend mirroring san content to an identical box at a third party datacenter, the cost of transferring that is going to cost you a boatload of money in bandwidth bills, every single month.

Aside from choosing a terrible datacenter to colocate in, linode hasn't really done anything wrong here, and isn't responsible for this outage. The outage is actually the responsibility of Hurricaine Electric, the datacenter's actual owners.

I'm very disappointed in the fact that nobody recognized this as chapelle's show joke theft.
