#14 A little over 24 hours till super-Tuesday. Ricin found in Las Vegas. Internet cables cut to the middle east. And NOW Rantburg goes down for an extended outage. Coincidence? I think not! |

#13 At the moment the server is handling only about 45 or 50 connections. At its peak it was trying to deal with 700 at a time. The attack seems to have been a "syn flood," which would have told me zip before I read up on it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and for the paucity of posts. I've been parked here for two solid days, trying to do something when there hasn't really been much I could do. I've set up a second web server on a second IP address, which is probably how most of you have gotten in today. In the process I managed to hose some configurations, which I'll have to fix over the course of the next few days. I think I might, when things get back to normal, dedicate the new server to the O Club. That way we'll have two pretty much autonomous systems running. The O Club uses Oracle, for the most part, and by the time I'm done it'll use it exclusively. The only limitation there will be system resources -- if the CPU's too busy it won't be able to serve the club, either. I've installed a couple things that should make the site stronger -- presumably that's why we're still running. I installed one of them just before the number of connections went down. Dunno if it was cause and effect or serendipity. I guess we'll find out. |

#6 Why is it that nobody can get in today, and yet we get hit by some stoopid pørn dork? |

#2 Comments page takes forever to load, which would suggest there is something wrong with it besides its inability to handle single quotes. |
