Beetlelands Week 2020, Prompt 1: One Bed

There are lots of beds in the Maitland-Deets Household, but there’s only one for Beetlejuice. And it’s in the attic. 

((This was so much fun!!! I broke out adobe illustrator for the first time in a long while and went full ham. I wanted to go for a look that was similar to the musical set, with the house opened up. Included some close-ups and a pic of just the background!))

I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.

an Elon musk tweet  To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:  - Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day - Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day - New unverified accounts to 300/dayALT

IT GETS WORSE!

“This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.

The Twitter home feed’s been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

In the first video, notice the error message that I’m being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

The second video shows why it’s jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon’s latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

Unbelievable. It’s amateur hour.”

So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a “free” account.

Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn’t know WHY it isn’t loading, so it keeps TRYING.

Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.

This is so completely amateurish it’s unbelievable. It’s like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it’s making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.
