All systems go.

Time for some much needed database upgrades. Going to take the service down for maybe an hour (hopefully less) while I do the final switch to the new DB server. Edit: 12:37pm EST: And we’re b...

Upgrading a bunch of servers. Nothing should blink, but if it does, that’s why.

Ad income for first half of 2014: $2,696. Staying on goal with the approximately $5k a year that’s expected, and actually doing a bit better. Linode’s recent changes do mean there is no good ...

Not much luck with selling pastie. Most people either offer ridiculous amounts ($1,000, etc) or want me to give them a price. The reason I didn’t do that in the first place is I really didn’t...

It’s no big secret that Pastie is hosted at Linode, but from the information I have so far I have no reason to believe anyone has enjoyed root (or even non-root) access to Pastie servers other ...

Perhaps issues with the load balancer.  I’m looking into it.  Huge spike in traffic first though - perhaps another attack?  In any case it doesn’t seem like the load balancer is doing it�...

Pastie is actually still up if you can visit http://balancer.pastie.org .  I’m pointing the main DNS to there now, but will take a bit to update.  I’ve been playing with the setup but wasn�...

Some apparent host disk I/O issues so I’m moving the disk-based Varnish cache that sits in front of Pastie to a different host.  Should be back online soon.

Pastie will be down an hour or two today for much needed disk upgrades. UPDATE: And we’re back online about 38 minutes later.  Not so shabby.

First post-Rails Machine DDOS attack. Lots of TCP traffic and connection flooding on port 80 it looked like.  Some interruption of service.  Only the the front-end was affected.  I could even ...

I wouldn’t call it the perfect storm, but a lot of things conspired to keep Pastie down longer than I would have liked.   If at the time I had known I was about to get terribly sick, wreck my...

DB server is sitting idle.  App servers are ready to go.  Working on bringing up a few different front-ends and testing things then deciding where to park the main pastie.org domain. Coming u...

FIRST, MY APOLOGIES.  I’M REALLY TRULY SORRY. I did make some progress setting up new hosting while at RailsConf, but not enough.  Unfortunately I felt for what I paid (booked too many thin...

Response from Rails Machine founder Bradley Taylor : I can’t really say he misrepresents anything… of course I don’t think he’s disagreeing with anything I say… he’s just explaining...
