Slashdot Prepares Switcheroo

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hoo-boy-its-time dept.

We're planning on making the final switch from Slashdot to Banjo tonight at around 8pm my time. User preferences changed after 6:30pm will be lost. Comments won't be. Around 8pm, Slashdot will stop providing dynamic pages: only the static homepage will be visible until we we complete the transition, which will hopefully take only however long it takes for us to incrementally update all the critical data. We should see you by 9.

  1. Re:New Hardware Specs ? by michael · · Score: 5, Informative

    The old hardware setup is here.

    The new one is not terribly different: five beefier HTTP servers instead of six, still with the same Arrowpoint load-balancing switch; one NFS box and one beefier database machine.

    And of course, this will mark the switch to Slash 2.0.

    I'm sure there will be a story (maybe not until Monday though) which will give plenty of specs and info.

  2. New random quotes by HongPong · · Score: 4, Informative
    Sweet! The random quote of the day seems to have been updated. Futurama's definitely new I think. Though I bet it's just a text file they can change at will, it seems different than usual.

    For posterity: I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth. -- Fry
