It appears that <a href=\"https:\/\/instapundit.com\/821554\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ms. Hoyt linked to the post<\/a> around 1:30am today, (September 8<sup>th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n<p>I saw the initial increase in traffic early this morning and reached out to our hosting service, asking them to temporarily increase resources. I did this after checking the usage and saw that the CPU was hitting and staying at 100%. We\u2019ve had this happen several times in the past. When this happens, the traffic spike usually lasts about 12-24 hours and then returns to it\u2019s normal, minuscule levels.<\/p>\n<p>I know that the Megalomaniac In Charge, the Angry Webmaster, revels in this sort of attention, but I\u2019m the one who needs to clean up the mess. Hopefully our Hosting service will see the issue and set up the temporary increase. Ms. Hoyt, I really hate to bother you, but wold it be possible to let us know when you are going to link to us? I can reach out to our hosting service and arrange a temporary scale out ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p>We do apologize for the disruption in service to our 2-5 followers out there.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your time and attention regarding this matter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-13627\" src=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<span id=\"wp-postratings-47667\" class=\"wp-postratings\" data-nonce=\"a4baa63213\"><span class=\"wp-postratings-vote wp-postratings-scale wp-postratings-shape-star\" style=\"--wp-postratings-shape:url(data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%27http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%27%20viewBox=%270%200%2024%2024%27%3E%3Cpath%20d=%27M12%202.4l2.95%205.98%206.6.96-4.77%204.65%201.12%206.57L12%2017.46l-5.9%203.1%201.12-6.57L2.45%209.34l6.6-.96z%27\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\" data-post-id=\"47667\" role=\"radiogroup\" aria-label=\"Rate this post\"><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47667-5\" name=\"wp-postratings-47667\" value=\"5\" data-rating=\"5\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47667-5\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>5 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47667-4\" name=\"wp-postratings-47667\" value=\"4\" data-rating=\"4\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47667-4\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>4 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47667-3\" name=\"wp-postratings-47667\" value=\"3\" data-rating=\"3\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47667-3\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>3 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47667-2\" name=\"wp-postratings-47667\" value=\"2\" data-rating=\"2\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47667-2\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>2 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47667-1\" name=\"wp-postratings-47667\" value=\"1\" data-rating=\"1\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47667-1\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>1 Star<\/span><\/label><\/span> (<strong>2<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>5.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"wp-postratings-text\" id=\"wp-postratings-47667-text\"><\/span><\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Systems Administrator~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
