There were still bugs. You just learned how to deal with them or work around them.

There’s a joke in there somewhere. I just can’t put my finger on it.

What the fuck is in the water over at the Reddit HQ, lead?

Noooooooooooooooo!!!

That can change, and already has begun. What made Reddit special was exactly what we’re doing now, discussion. All it’s going to take is for fediverse content to be searchable (if it’s not already searchable) and it’s game over for Reddit.

And it was so valuable and useful because we, the former redditors, made it that way. They’re ruining the hard (and free) work people did over those 15 years to make it useful. The good thing is it’s been shown to be entirely replaceable, and made better by taking control out of corporate hands.

The special (and valuable) thing about Reddit was its passionate users. Take that away and what’s left?

Sorry for the late reply. Using ZFS and replicating the VM first makes it really quick. Less than 5 minutes of downtime.

I did the same a few months ago and was extremely nervous. I have a 4 node cluster running 30 VMs in production. After migrating the VMS off of one node I quickly realized what a pleasure it was to do it. No muss no fuss. Migrated the VMs back and continued on with the other 3.

It’s never to early for ice-cream (or to late for that matter).

I’d rather not. You’ll have people farming the garbage and selling accounts a la gallowshill.
