a "large" number like 99.999% looks impressive, and 99.9999% is more impressive

Anyone who is actually responsible for the uptime of anything understands the difference between 3 nines and 4 nines and how significant it is to gain or lose a nine.

I thing the first nines are most important (9% vs 99%)

[–] BitUnWise@programming.dev 2 points 20 hours ago

The first nine would 90% then it would go straight to 0%

Idea: if we run two servers, we could count as 199.9998% !!! /s
