Nah I’m sure the Raspberry Pi sitting in a manager’s desk drawer is a totally sufficient server. His nephew that’s “good at the computers” even said so!

That’s just crazy. I think they need to increase their server budget.

I bet the constraint here isn’t what’s serving the website but either an external dependency that they don’t have control over so that can’t scale or a relational database that they didn’t have the budget or expertise to scale

yeah yeah yeah but how can we get the rage about sensible and rational issues like that???
lurch@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
that’s not a rational issue though. the correct way would be to make the process asynchronous.

No thanks, I prefer my internet experience to be linear and iterative with no fail backs for any exceptions. C’mon dead process without an error report!

Ah sorry, I wasn’t clear - I meant the way the issues were sensibly and rationally outlined!

A queue to see the website does make the process asynchronous.
Want to see this website? We’ll let you know

If it were the US, I’d guess the constraint was political meddling by somebody who wants everyone to hate the agency so they have an excuse to privatize it, but I don’t know if Ireland has that kind of problem.
