Are we on cloud 9?

I am all ways on cloud 9.

I'm always overcast.

Why? #justcurious

How to operate a server on the Internet? From the beginning, the usual way has been to buy a computer and put it in an expensive data center where you rent space.

Now, people set up a bunch of computers in the data center and they rent you time on them. It's a cheaper way to do it in a lot of cases; you own less of the infrastructure, but do you really need to? When we were doing a ton of traffic (when IotD was big and Facebook was small), we needed that, but now we don't. So we'll save money, save a little effort and apparently get a server that's avg 5ms faster to the net as well.

5 milliseconds here, 5 milliseconds there, it adds up

not really

:cool:

Access speed will be less nebulous which will be lightning the burden for thUndertoad. Plus the silver lining means Big Sarge won't need his tin foil hat.

this is why no more tip jar then?

Yes, the remaining costs are small enough so's I can handle them. If we ever come up with a project that needs money to do and makes sense for everyone, we could bring it back for that.

Are smoking and pets allowed?

and will the Tag Cloud be called just Tag or Tag Cloud Cloud?

I prolly won't notice...

...I'm in the clouds most of the time anyway.:bong::beer:

You guys are clouding the issue. thUndertoad won't know weather there are questions to answer as he tries to maintain the Stratus quo.

Please check in with any problem that you may be having.
