Welcome to the New Slashdot Chicago Cluster

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-been-a-long-time-coming dept.

Thanks to everyone who tested on Friday, as well as to all of SourceForge's netops crew, our corporate overlords at SourceForge for paying the bill, and of course all the engineers on Slashteam- Jamie McCarthy, Tim Vroom, Chris Nandor, Chris Brown, and Scott Collins, we are now running on the new iron in a cage in Chicago. We'll run a story in a few days about the ridiculously overpowered new hardware we have now, but now is the part of sprockets where we dance.

    So now that SourceForge has upgraded Slashdot's fancy-pants hardware, when are they actually going to make sourceforge.net not suck so much?

    Just kidding. I love you guys.

    But seriously, sourceforge.net sucks balls.

    In the computer world, there is no such thing as 'ridiculously overpowered'.

    Can your servers run Crysis on max settings? :P lol

    While geeks have often struck me as a little weird, I have not previously seen them treated as actively dangerous. I hope they let you out soon.

    Well, the search feature isn't working.

    So everything's back to normal.

    Seconded! This has been my favorite link to the tech world (I don't get out much) and for all its warts, it's a great place to hang out.

    However, my employer would love to find your new cluster and beat it with a tire iron.

    This is absolutely news.

    Finally, Slashdot has the highly redundant replicated infrastructure worthy of their highly redundant, replicated article topics.

    What you need to do is switch the faceplates so it looks like the old hardware has the new faceplates, so you can stand to lose the "new" hardware without really losing anything of value.

    Its not the lag that causes problems, its the rotating the bits so that they're the right side up that causes the delay.
