grumble

[ratcreature]

The recent trouble Pinboard is having (victim of DDOS attacks, I think based on its twitter?) is disrupting my fandom engagement, i.e. fic browsing and bookmarking, quite a bit. General web surfing too, because I use its private bookmark feature for most of my other bookmarking (recipes, art tutorials, whatever) too. People who target websites like that suck.

This also reminded me that once the site is stable again, I really ought to export my bookmarks. It's been a long time since I backed them up last.

On the bright side, this downtime was an unrelated event and he has the site back up. Runaway archiving processes overwhelmed the database this time, just bad luck it happened so soon after the DDoS.

Yay, that's good news.
