Can you please post a picture of the server so we can see all the sweet LEDs on network cards?

It's Friday night. My favorite band (http://www.theanatomyoffrank.com/music) is playing a house show in my town, which is the best kind of show because it's BYOB. Then, my best friend from Texas is in town for the night, and we're meeting up. I'm definitely going to go tear it up and create some memories.

And yet..... all I can think of is to stay up all night creating a "replacement HN" just for Saturday morning. I just started using Django and it would be perfect for this. Must. Resist. Must. Live. Real. Life.

Does all of HN run on one single server?

Not just a single server, a single process on a single core (last time I asked pg at least).

And I recall the last time I looked at the source (when it was released with Arc), it didn't use a database either. All the data is stored as files.

This is just idle speculation but are there any stats on HN traffic? I have always wondered just how many folks read it, how often etc? I heard a million accounts being bandied around at one point and I cannot tell if that is excessive or not?
