iptables solving load problems

Raymii

Instead of optimizing your application, analyzing database queries and scaling out, lets just do this:

iptables -I INPUT -m statistic --mode random --probability 0.5 -j REJECT

Let me assure you for now all the performance problems are gone...

(Do note that this is a joke, but it is an actual iptables module and the above thing actually works)

this is the most geekest joke i ever read in LET, Raymii hello.

btw, good job on the homepage

I always wondered what it's like to nuke your machine with this old joke, but I might just get creative with a derplet on digitalocean for this delicate issue at hand.

This is the corret format:

[ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf --no-preserve-root / || echo “You live”

Only bash command remaining seems to be cd for now. It took me a few rounds to bite the big bazooka.

heh, we tried that last week, i forgot to umount our NFS storage and deleted all my KVMs in the process (but it was a good test for backup system, which worked fine to revert to a few hours old snapshot, everything booted up just fine)

That would be putting the russian roullette rm -rf thing in a cronjob every day...
