At least it doesn't emit the entire stack trace along with the message! Question: are static websites so hard to do?

  Not everybody is comfortable updating, managing it if you refer to Jeckyll or similar generators.

  Static websites take away one of the crucial pieces of blogging: Comments.
  - liw 10y ago
    http://ikiwiki.info/ http://ikiwiki.info/ supports comments. There are several variants of "static website": * Site is generated by its author, and won't change until author changes and re-generates it. * Site generates content when something changes (e.g., new comment), not on each page view. (Cf. ikiwiki in cgi mode.)

    Its trivial in Jekyll to add support for a 3rd party comment service, e.g. Disqus.

      Only if you are comfortable using a 3rd party comment service (or injecting 3rd party javascript in your site in the first place). I know it's common, but even with the advances in CORS and whatnot, it still (IMNHO) defeats a lot of the benefits of a static web site. That said, I would probably prefer embedding disqus or https://muut.com/ https://muut.com/ comments to running a complex php application just for comments.

    Is it? The crucial flaw of public comments is that they can be used to address other people than the author; hence spam and trolls for instance. And what's the ratio of actually useful comments anyway? Does it justify the cost of dealing with all the rest (like, say, your blog going down because some comment DB broke which directly hurts your actual readership)? One-way communication has its advantages, too. Those who really have something to tell you can always use email.

    If you make the page static, and have it AJAX back to load the comments, then you get the best of both worlds. (This is what I wrote for my blog.)

  This is a WordPress blog - it's just a matter of installing the SuperCache plugin and turning on mod_rewrite caching - then all page requests are served by apache out of static files. It even handles regeneration when there's a new comment, while continuing to serve the old static file to avoid the thundering herd problem.

I thought that was the joke!

It's very likely that this blog runs on a small VM (eg. the smallest DigitalOcean one) which not enough RAM. This results in mysql crashing. You could either setup a cache or add some swap as backup...
