Slashdot Mirror

I recommend SimpleKDE.

They are actually already programming for their KDE 4.0 relaease. They have started by changing the way the panel and desktop work (internally from a programming perspective) and are working on news looks. They will deliver a new look for KDE, I hope it will also have style though.

As an aside, they should really get rid of their gazillions of toolbars in every app. Make it more like Simple KDE, which at least part of the KDE project is cooperating with.

i agree, Konquerer makes for a great file manager, but as a web browser it needs work, i think i will stick with Firefox or Opera for web browsers...

there is a project called SimleKDE i am going to keep an eye on- http://www.simplekde.org/ i hope SimpleKDE makes a good fork (little brother) of KDE...

Meanwhile

http://www.simplekde.org/node/11

returns:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11)

and

http://www.simplekde.org/node/6

returns:

Too many connections

Did slash users burn up their CPUs? Maybe KDE pages KroKed?

That's one SERIOUS DDOS or umm, "Slash attack"...

I thought since another URL might be accessible from within their site, I tried some and got the above...

That comes from their URLs:

http://www.simplekde.org/node/11

and

http://www.simplekde.org/?q=node/2

Does that mean a MySQL database can easily be slashdotted? (Seems so...)

If the slashdotting doesn't subside, is it because some /.ers have scripts running to make them "first up" to see the page when the loading drops to a manageable level?

If so, is that technically a form of distributed "DDOS" attack?

Is it feasible or practical for subjects of /. articles to demand that when Slashdot links to them that /. sponsors a temporary mirror? Maybe even host that mirror on /.'s back end?

I know that would eat into /. ad revenues, and create more work for /. staff, but some subjects probably cannot even get business done. Imagine if some of these smaller dev sites have e-commerce that is disrupted...
