It’s unfortunate that $350K+ a year can’t keep the site from dropping to a crawl during a SOTU address. Doesn’t seem to bode well for Election Day. I wish there was a solution for that.
That may seem like a lot but as someone who is in the industry that budget doing all of this is impressive
Denial of Service and BOT attacks have brought many others to their knees with far bigger budgets
Hats off to the FR team for a herculean job well done!
To manage this site is an every day job.. 24/7..
anyone criticizing Jim or John.. give.donate instead..
i dont know how they do this at all.. i come here because the news is unbearable to watch
if every viewer gave something it could be done in no time.
My net went down right about half hour before SOTU time, but I figured it was the wind. And sure enough, it came back, shaky at times but ok now. Enough to watch the SOTU. Maybe it wasn’t FR? But a regional whatever-thing-FR-connects-to thingy?
