“If you get into that much load, you should know how to configure your
system to deal with it.”

I don’t feel it is unreasonable to expect that the default OS settings
won’t cause the disk to fill up (and, in doing so, cause other stuff to
crash) when the default connection limit is reached. In our case,
someone started hotlinking to a resource which caused an abnormally high
number of connections; normally, this server is very low-load and
doesn’t see more than 10 concurrent connections at any given time.

What I am hearing from you is that it’s dangerous and unwise to assume
that Ubuntu can provide sane settings out of the box, and it was foolish
of me to not plan to receive 100 times the normal amount of traffic.
While you are entitled to this opinion, it is not a position that I
understand or agree with. If that’s not what you intended, I apologise
for misunderstanding, and hope you can clarify.

Regards,
