and up. What a world we live in that a site cannot be down for a few minutes without a post to HN.

We all assume everything is up 99.99% (4m 23s of downtime per month btw) without paying for that SLA.

If you can't do four 9s, then you should do the next best thing: Four 8s!

I always say 89.9999 has five nines too!
shermantanktop•4mo ago
I suppose 0.099999 does as well.

Physically lolled. Thanks for the good mood.

If you can't do four 8s, put four on the floor with an 808

My favorite: 9 5s.

Some public services in Germany have 9-5 weekdays and show a message to please come back during their business hours outside of that.

B&H does this for shabbat and other high holidays. I always thought that it was kind of neat. Little over a year into a boot-strapped startup, and I’m still trying to figure out how to implement ANY boundaries in my life. I don’t know why I thought I’d feel BETTER “being my own boss” having spent so much with the guy. I hope to someday have “please come back” confidence.

On the other hand, if a service goes down for a few minutes and gets a post on HN I guess it means they've really made it!
