Site is moving -- should be faster, could be some minor interruption
By Andrew Pollack on 09/27/2005 at 12:54 PM EDTI'm making some important infrastructure changes here this week. This server will be hosted on a high speed machine at a tier 1 provider. Within a week or two, I'll also have a hot standby in place. This is to accommodates a need for increased reliability to a level I cannot achieve even here with my standby generator and so on.
If all goes perfectly, you won't notice a thing. Don't count on it. In a few days I'll post the specifics on what and why I'm making this change when I've been hosting my own servers for so many years.

I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......
- 01/28/2020Copyright Troll WarningThere's a copyright troll firm that has automated reverse-image searches and goes around looking for any posted images that they can make a quick copyright claim on. This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
