OMG! I'm getting DDoSed!

...or, oh no, it’s digg *^_^*

Well, luckily I’ve been doing some reconfigurations to my server a couple of days ago and I guess I finally hit the sweetspot. This isn’t the first time my server is handling a lot of traffic but I don’t think she has ever run this smooth, while in the middle of a frontpage of digg.com (at the time of writing)... yay!


like it should be, no swap! hardly a load and serving!

As you all can imagine, we’re very excited out here!

and since it’s 2007… a youtube-vid as well! (the other one has been viewed 5500+ times, most of it in the last few hours)

Thank you all, this is fun! *^_^*

(don’t get me wrong, I’m not being sarcastic or such, I mean that!)

    Peh, looking at your log I’d say I handle more traffic on a daily basis ;)

    :-) which log? out of the previous post? that was filtered solely on apple.com, I have more traffic than that! ^_^

    Anyway, we’re now 2 hours and 50 minutes into this day and my stats tell me there have been 8890 unique visitors so far today which results in 5.97GB of traffic.

    Of course there’s lots and lots of sites out there that handle more traffic… but this one is mine! ^_^

    You mean to tell me it isn’t just your friend blowing some more hot “air” your way? ;-)



  4. markie @ 4 January 2007, 04:25 :

    weeeeeeell, nooooo… that really didn’t cross my mind… ;-)

    ah well, if he or whoever wants to ddos me into the oblivion, they now know more or less what they should bring… :D



  5. involutaryhaxor @ 4 January 2007, 04:54 :

    just wondering, how are you doing the live server statistics from the command line, ie, what command, id like to try it out



  6. markie @ 4 January 2007, 05:18 :

    oooh, ssh into your (web)server, find out where apache stores it’s logs or the logs for the specific site and do a ‘tail -f access_log’

    Those are no stats though, just raw and live logs of people accessing your page :-)
