I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, uh, what are we going to do? Stick with FG?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

First I'd like to know Steven's response to the mysql bug news. If we reset the daemon, and drastically drop the number of connections logged as being used, I'd like to know his stance.

I don't think I understand. What stance?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The "the problem's your code, I wash my hands of it" stance.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Deleted as it's not pertinent to our connection issues.

Well, even if it turns out that the problem is a bug in MySQL, I can't see his stance changing on that. Other sites using MySQL don't seem to be affected by this bug the way that we are. His only option would be remove the restrictions on connections and I'm thinking that's not going to happen.

Astarte, we're only allowed 100 connections. And if we increase it, we'll just falsely eat more, I bet.

We're currently all sharing ONE of our allotted 100. The system is just bogarting the other 99.

K. Shutting up now.

Not even restarting the daemon?

I wish I knew what the timeline to a bug fix was, but it's not something we can use as a factor in decision making.

We may need more than $20 of resources, but a bug in mysql making us need $200? Yikes.

edit: Astarte, any fruistration in that post was not directed at you, just the situation

Understood, ita. I just wish I knew enough to be helpful instead of a parrot creature.
