I think it's impressive how your site's managed to stay online when many sites hosted on much more powerful hardware haven't been able to handle HN frontpage levels of traffic.

Thanks ... I think people are having time-outs so it's not anywhere near close to perfect, but the machine has been running at 100% for five hours or so now and it is not crashing, so I'm happy.

The power of good old static sites. I saw some number of the amount of electrical power going to web servers and it was like single digit percents.
The js-web is a huge waste environmentaly and it is sad since js is mostly used to spy and show ads.

I very friendly opened the link, and it is still serving pages. The images are pretty slow to load, though. While reading the page, I thought it was just text, but then suddenly a banner appeared.
Great demo of what such a machine can do, and how much we take our 3GHz, 12 core machines for granted.
BTW, how do you keep it dust-free?
I've turned down the logging level a little bit and turned off the beeper. On this machine, a 50ms beep on the motherboard buzzer is 50ms of delay. :)
