No front end yet, I’m really hoping somebody will want to help with that, but I would prefer as little JavaScript running as possible.
The only applicable language I already knew was Python, so I’m going with flask for the back end.
Currently the website just has a static page I generated with Jekyll.

Because I don’t do well in open ended groups of people. A bit of anxiety mixed with just not knowing how to start conversations with strangers.

I mean, if I just want a change of scenery, I can just go for a hike or bikeride like I often do. If I’m going to spend money to go somewhere, I’d like to actually want to go.

I’m sure I’m not the only one. I couldn’t tell you what I want.

I know, its just $100 to exist somewhere is a bit more than I would want to spend.

I made it there, but didn’t end up going do to registration issues.

I’ll say walking through to registration was interesting, and when I couldn’t register I was more disappointed than I thought I would be, especially because I wasn’t all that sure I wanted to go in the first place. I don’t think I would have done anything, but just being there was unique.

Spiders are awesome because they eat the annoying bugs, and its really fun to watch them build a web. Its funny you say too many legs because I love it when I’m out hiking and find a millipede. Basement centipedes are fine as they are another annoying bug eater, I don’t really come across any large centipedes, but I’d probably steer clear of those.

I sure hope millipedes are non venomous, I like playing with them. I would have to look up to verify, but I think some species excrete something when injured that monkeys use.

Sorry about the spiders for you, I’m cautious around hunting spiders, but no phobia.

something, something, don’t frogs eat bugs?

Hmmm, I though everything in that part of the world tries to kill you, or is that just restricted to Australia? The largest near me are the Joro spiders that moved in a few years ago.

Great, now welcome to the internet is stuck in my head for the next month…

My only critique would be the lyrics were great the until the last bit, that was just the original.

I also don’t understand people who watch, but I mean, people must, otherwise it wouldn’t exist as much as I hear it does. I would imagine it has some amount of basis in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction

hopefully in a good way.

Very enjoyable comic. I liked it when it came out, and I liked it when I read it now.

oh, I forgot about two steps from hell / Thomas Bergersen (he has a lot of stuff under just his name). I’ll tick on E.S. Posthumus, don’t know if they have any movie music, but they certainly have the epic soundtrack style. x-ray dog is another one of the companies that puts out tons of soundtracks.
I’ll have to give those others a listen.

So I would expect this is related to the inbound queuing discussed on casual conversation, blahaj, and reddthat. Not much is written about the initial sync, but I would think it is a related problem.
My personal tl:dr, because I didn’t read it all or dive into the technical details:
There is only one inbound queue per remote instance, the bigger instances fill the queue up leading to sync problems. This gets worse over large distances (I didn’t really read into why). I guess there was an assumption of more smaller distributed instances than some of the larger ones that popped up. It sounds like a code scaling problem.
