      1. @chiefanchor Figures! I always miss stuff!

        1. @ceruleanspark And stuff misses you when you're gone, too!

          1. @imhenrytheiixiam It's cyclical! CYCLES ARE MAGIC!

      1. @toksyuryel Did something happen there?

        1. @ceruleanspark According to @mrdragon, it managed to turn itself into a forkbomb.

          1. @toksyuryel I...what? and more importantly, how?

            1. @ceruleanspark He just said the process replicated itself wildly and choked the server.

              1. @imhenrytheiixiam Oh Statusnet. You so crazy.

                Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 07:09:00 UTC from web
                1. @ceruleanspark And how.

                  Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 07:09:28 UTC from web
                  1. @imhenrytheiixiam Man, I wonder why it did that. Everything was perfectly fine before, even under load.

                    1. @ceruleanspark No clue. I was lurking and overheard it. I *think* Senor Dragon didn't know, either, but I didn't get into the discussion.

                      1. @imhenrytheiixiam Or would that be "over-read" it?

                      2. @imhenrytheiixiam I'm just looking at the cloudflare from before dole got cherriesed up, and there's no spike in registrations or anything that would send mysql off on a crazy server destroying bender. I was asleep, so I'm innocent!

                        1. @ceruleanspark Can you get in via your whatever-Dragon-had-set-up-for-you? He'd mentioned not being able to do much without you, I think...

                          1. @imhenrytheiixiam He needs to call support and have them unplug it then thrash it with a broom handle to cure it of its upstart ideas

                            1. @ceruleanspark Nothing like physical access, sometimes.

            2. @ceruleanspark You'll have to ask him about it.

          2. @toksyuryel What in the hay is a forkbomb?

            Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 07:08:43 UTC from web
            1. @chiefanchor It's a process that replicates itself endlessly.

              Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 07:09:33 UTC from web
              1. @toksyuryel Self-calling endless loop?

                Wednesday, 07-Mar-12 07:11:29 UTC from web
                1. @chiefanchor That'd be the most basic one you can make, yeah. The name comes from the system call fork() which creates a copy of the calling process.
