ah that's where the uptime nines went @… https://hey.hagelb.org/@technomancy/statuses/01KZRYPG5TMB13NKJ8B5PM9MWT

The host was down for 12 hours and 4 minutes, today. I don't think that's going to get them five nines.

This was part of my frustration with working in policy enforcement, a.k.a. Abuse Desk. No one bothers to report abuse. That’s a 2-nines “no one.”
The worst embedded autoplaying horse porn email spammers generate at most single-digit-percentage abuse reports. I’m sure social media is much worse, because people have acclimatized themselves to social media being full of garbage that no one will stop.

Reliability lives on what Dolgov called an “exponential ladder of nines.” Tesla CEO Elon Musk calls it the “march of the nines.” Getting to 90% or 99% is the easy part. Every additional nine of reliability takes roughly ten times more effort than the one before it.
Nope! Each nine in precision is exponentially harder, not geometrically.

Don't Cry for Me Argentina
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all goals scored
You won't believe me, all you will see is a Messi you once knew
Although he dressed up to the nines
He failed to score a goal for you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life a scorer

github working really hard on getting rid of all the pesky nines
