Perhaps Jay should have hosted the page on a microcontroller instead of a database; archive copy: https://web.archive.org/web/20171106070102/https://jaycarlson.

  I'm sure that doesn't exist. I've had my site in the front page several times and I never had a problem. I agree I'm a competent sysadm and there's a peak on visits often in a short period, but my server is not as optimised as it could be and it did just fine. I think what we have here is a server or a web app poorly configured.

      HN doesn't have that much traffic, your provider is probably crap

    What percentage of websites would you think are cared for by a sysadmin at least as competent as yourself, who dedicated at least as much time as you did?

With 21 of these parts on my desk, that would have been a good idea. Thanks for linking to a cached version — I'm working to get my little blog on Cloudflare to handle the traffic. I appreciate the kind words from everyone so far; it's been a huge learning opportunity, and I hope others can get inspired to grab one of these parts (especially one of the weirder ones) and do something cool with it.

  Not your issue, but the current timeout Cloudflare page is saying that thanks to it's "Always Online™" technology, we can surf a snapshot of the site. But there is link or option to said snapshot :/

  While you are at it, here is how your little blog looks to those of us who browse with javascript off for security reasons: https://pixady.com/image/0jab/ https://pixady.com/image/0jab/ Even though all the text content is present (this image is disabling CSS and scrolling down a little): http://pixady.com/image/0jad/ http://pixady.com/image/0jad/ Requiring javascript for rendering what basic HTML already renders is not a very inviting or inclusive way to go with the blog.

  I would pay for a book version of this work, or at least a PDF that I could print. It would be the kind of book that I could really get into. Fantastic work.

    I'd like to second that. I skimmed through this yesterday and about to board a long flight. Frantically caching :-p
