quote 21:32:32
“ Maybe you should remember this the next time Tumblr 500s or your Gmail is offline for an hour, because the alternative is that you host your own blog, which means provisioning your own server and dealing with it yourself when MySQL inevitably crashes (“downtime”!), or running your own procmail/postfix mailserver and running your own redundant onsite/offsite backups and setting up your own MX records and tweaking your own /etc/my.cnf files and so on and so forth (and trust me, there is a lot more so on and so forth where that so on and so forth came from!).
Or: you can just fucking deal! ”
