On: The Costs of Bookmarking

[stavros]

Hmm, you have a good point about blog updates, it's just that we use Twitter for minor announcements. I'll have to change that, though.

Export already includes all the data except the actual page text, so by downloading that file once in a while you can reconstruct your bookmarks almost perfectly (or just import it into your browser).

There haven't been any DoS attacks yet, but varnish is a champ, so that would be pretty easy to mitigate, depending on the scale...

Varnish is nice for load spikes, but how do you cope with, say, a SYN flood? (Honest question, I'm curious.)

We don't, we haven't needed to yet.
