Then why not go to the extreme and just build a static version and serve that? Why do you need any dynamic content at all? Then you won't need shared state, then you won't need a database, then you won't need 90% of the stuff that dynamically driven pages need. Be the l33t h4x0r you are and just go static, save the complexity for your build process, because that shows the true hacker spirit. Hell, you may even be able to wring out another few blog posts from that.

Also, why are people submitting every single post from this blog recently? Does this person actually do any work at UToronto, or is he just paid to write? There are -8000- links to various pages under this domain. I hope it's just a collective pseudonym like Nicolas Bourbaki and one person didn't write 8000 pages.

I'm desperate to use some of the insights from a navel-gazing university computing center in my infrastructure: IPv6 NAT (huh? what? What?!), custom config management driven by pathological NIH (I know precisely zilch about anything at utcc but I can already say with 100% confidence that your environment isn't special enough to do that), 'run more fibers', 'keep a list of important infrastructure contacts in case of outages', 'i just can't switch away from rc shell', and that's just in the last six months. On second thought, I'll just avoid all links to here in the future to save my sanity.
