Yet Another Uneventful, Open Source Run, Elections…
Of notice:
– I correctly guessed the first district (Castelo) able
to provide counting results
– no matter what the electoral process is (country-wide,
city-wide, referendum, Hondt, tens of districts or
thousands of them), the time it takes to finnish is
a constant (3 hours, from 7 pm till 9.30/10.00 pm)
– there will always be a last minute IP address to add
to the ACLs
– there will always be someone who botches the webservices
client and wrongly fires hundreds of connections
– at 8.50 pm we hit a peak at 3Mbits/sec load, 190 hits/sec
with a total of 1.5 million hits between 6pm and 10pm
