<h2>So, what is this pr0n thing anyway?</h2>
keyboard shortcuts are in place, so it should be comfortable enough for
most uses.)</p>
+ <h2>Can you remove a picture of me?</h2>
+
+ <p>Yes! By Norwegian law you have the right to deny publication of an image
+ where you are identifiable (with a few exceptions). Just send me an e-mail
+ (see below) with the URL of the images you want removed, and I'll remove them.
+ No questions asked.</p>

<h2>I just changed thumbnail resolution, why is everything so slow?</h2>
<p>Probably the requested size was never generated before, so the server
so the next time somebody views the same images in that resolution,
it will be snappy as usual.</p>
- <h2>Why didn't you just throw up Gallery?</h2>
+ <h2>Why didn't you just throw up Gallery? (Or use Flickr, Picasaweb, etc.)</h2>
<p>Because it didn't fit my needs, and the same goes for all other systems
I've seen. I wanted something no-nonsense that would work for <em>my</em>
<h2>What hardware/software does it run on?</h2>
- <p>pr0n currently runs on an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ with 4GB RAM and ordinary
- SATA disks. (The server does a lot of other stuff besides running pr0n, of
- course.) pr0n itself is a custom-made system by myself, tightly coupled
- into <a href="http://www.apache.org/">Apache</a> 2.2, <a
- href="http://perl.apache.org/">mod_perl</a> 2.0 and <a
- href="http://www.imagemagick.org/">ImageMagick</a> 6.x (as well as various
- other Perl modules), using <a
- href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a> 8.2 as the back-end
- database for metadata et al. The base operating system is <a
- href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> lenny (ie. “testing”).</p>
+ <p>pr0n currently runs on two Intel E5-2650v3 (2x10 cores at 2.30GHz) with 64GB RAM and

<p>The Perl modules aren't really that big — we're talking about only
- approx. 2500 lines of code (of which ~25% is the WebDAV part; I should
+ approx. 3000 lines of code (of which ~20% is the WebDAV part; I should
really make that a bit cleaner once). Most of the real work is done by
the software on which pr0n builds on.</p>
<h2>How much data is there in there, anyway?</h2>
- <p>At the time of writing, approximately 86GB of image data (that is, over
- 52000 different images), plus cache, plus metadata in the SQL database.
+ <p>At the time of writing, approximately 720GB of image data (that is, over
+ 195000 different images), plus cache, plus metadata in the SQL database.
(These numbers are growing rather rapidly, so they could be outdated at
any given time.)</p>
<p>Probably, but are you sure you can get it to work? It's
non-trivial to set up, as it depends on lots of odd modules and a lot of
custom configuring; this is not a pre-made, user friendly package for your

I'm not going to hold your hand configuring it. :-) (Hint: If you do not
