OkCupid ran their entire site on 5 servers in 2012 how did we stray so far from the god's light

i don't deal with code so my cynical assumption is that a lot of "scaling" is basically "if we can fully automate spinning up and tearing down server instances, it won't matter how often our shoddy code crashes!"

OKCupid was able to make their own web server software alongside building their entire website with a dev team of ten people?



how many thousands of shithead devs does twitter employ again?

the whole k8s thing feels like everybody collectively gave up on building server applications that can be configured and reloaded and just agreed to install factories that could create dumb murderable micro computers by the thousand. i don't care for it in most cases

The 6500 was the last good platform cisco ever made, along with the tank of the closet - the 3750G

Had one of those bad boys running at Darwin in a literal workshop for 5 years, went up to replace it and found the thing covered in dust, like it was literally brown. Still worked.

The 6800 would have sunk any other company it was that bad

looked up the 3750 and holy poo poo

I still have nightmares sometimes about being the only cisco guy on my team available for a support call we got out of the blue where a network fell apart and just was being completely loving non-deterministic because hooking up a bunch of nexus 5Ks and 9Ks in a certain way caused ARP packets to just occasionally disappear if they had to cross virtual switching trunks

:stonk:

that is absolutely horrifying. fuuuuuck

wouldn’t it be a lot simpler to just take a backup of the unifi controller

hft? gently caress no this is generic moving money around bank poo poo.

from my almost-entirely uneducated perspective, the environment you've described seems incredibly bodged-together for "generic moving money around bank" poo poo


like is this some startup whose gimmick is "we're spending x% less on IT than the competition because we're always near or at max hardware utilization" hence the criticality of "we can't do routing because that would eat a CPU cycle and every cycle not spent on 'moving money' costs us money"?

sorry, i know that's a bit cynical of me. i really am curious to know more about what motivated the decisions that brought you to this point. i also understand if you can't get into much more detail due to security or nda concerns.

hey whats a reasonable way to handle two ISPs in a home situation

like if i had a WISP and a 4g modem that have similar speeds. thinking load could be distributed across both, rather than doing a priority failover setup

don't really know what i should be looking for here

multi-wan is the term you're looking for
