Ooops. Techdirt's Front Page Was Missing
from the apologies dept
Okay, I'll admit... this is a very kludgey system that we have going here, but for some strange reason (pure luck combined with the magic technical brain of Dennis) we have very little downtime. That changed for about an hour and a half this morning when the front page wouldn't load. In the past couple weeks we've had that problem come up a few times but it went away quickly. This morning it wasn't going away. This was the point we realized we'd (oops) run out of storage space. Everything was working fine, but the front page wouldn't generate. We should be fine now... Sorry about all that. Thanks to everyone who emailed me, as well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
