content: I got many server crash reports over the last few hours.One mentioned the apache error_log, so I'm think this might be because I have eror logging turned on in the SMF forum software.I've turned it off and will see what happens.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on May 07, 2014, 11:22:52 pmIt's been cutting in and out (mostly out) for me for about four hours. The sad part is that it's probably caused by my country because our government is infested with complete tools.

content: I actually hadn't heard about the Level 3 thing (I work netops for a service provider, so it's vaguely relevant.) Interesting post. Don't think it's related to any problems here though. L3 is one of the higher tier providers, and the blog is mostly just complaining that the regional consumer Internet providers are oversubscribing their upstream links to the point of ridiculousness, which isn't at all surprising.I.e., the only likely correlation between this blog's availability and L3's qualms is if you happen to get your Internet service from one of the providers peering with L3 at one of the places where the cross connect is saturated. Then it might be slow, with occasional connection errors. (But then so would everything else from that user's perspective.)IMHO and all that.

content: Rather than having the error log either on or off how about assigning a fixed memory space and using overwrite? That way you at least have a chance to view recent errors and the log can't be saturated.
