   Remember when internet services used to have nines? I think that was cool. I think we should make services and websites with nines again

     @mcc Its funny - my main source of scroll-news up until 2010 was Slashdot. It was on Slashdot that I found out about this hip new thing called Reddit... in a post about the demise of Digg.

     I bailed on Reddit a year ago because fuck Spez and now Im back on Slashdot (although most scrnews is here not there.)

     @mcc We can still brag about how many *digits* our Slashdot ID had (5).

     @mcc Hadn't thought about it but hey yeah, noone ever talks about nines anymore. I think its because its all about security not availability.

     Your service being available for all but 12 seconds a year is nice and all, but when you have an unconfigured proxy or documented backdoor account with unchanged default password `password` and all your users data is tied up in ransomeware, it doesn't seem so important. I'd rather have my backend down for 12 hrs a year to apply security patches thanks.
