I knew Sock Dreams was great, but I didn't know it was THIS great.

HAVE YOU MET MY FRIEND, THE ARCHDUKE OF TYPOS

Is LARPTrek hosted on Dreamhost? It would certainly explain why I can't get to the site, mine have been down all day too.

Yeah, it is. I've got top running in a shell just to watch the load average take an amazing voyage through the low four digits; it's at 2042 right now for the last frame, average of 1697 over the last hour. Highest I've seen was a spike to 2390.

So, woo.

@joshmillard I like it when it works, but when it doesn't I hate it. One thing Dreamhost lets me do that I don't know who else would is use them as a SSH tunnel to proxy out to the real Internet from places that I don't want them to track or filter my Internet usage.

@joshmillard Still can't get your site to load. Dreamhost was applying hotfixes to every wp-login.php as that is what was being used to deny services on the sites. I know your site runs on WP, so I wonder if it impacted more than other sites? What server are you on? I'm on dalitz.

Seems to be good to go as of sometime since last comment. I'm on Sandoval, but it was nailing a whole bunch of servers as far as I can tell.

This is truly incomprehensible to me.
Maybe if I wore a t-shirt I'd understand.

I'm operating in the center quadrant of a pretty niche Venn diagram, there is no denying it.

It's an esoteric knowledge of which only a privileged few are in the know. And you are its pontifex maximus.

I am such a long time nerd that it makes absolutely perfect sense to me.

Larptrek is pretty damn funny.

It disturbs me how much I get this.

Next, do comic sands.

So I went and looked at the link. Someone actually made 72 others of these before this one.

I know! That someone is me!

@johnr @joshmillard LOL!

@joshmillard having now read half of them, I'll admit that they're funnier than I thought they were going to be.

Now worries in any case. I think I'm an outlier on mlkshk for basically only posting shit I made myself, so it's not really off the ball to default to the assumption that something's coming in more as a [via] sort of thing.

And it's decidedly niche humor in any case; if you'd told me a year ago I'd have done several dozen of these I'd have laughed.

@joshmillard They're awesome!

Easily the best April Fools joke I've seen in a long while. Piker just kills it.
