gollark: osmarks.tk has a postgres database server as well as about five million SQLite instances, it doesn't get much use.

gollark: * instead of sqlite

gollark: Come to think of it, I *could* use postgres instead of nginx for this.

gollark: Imagine the potential for analysis of osmarks.tk trends.

gollark: Anyway, instead of logging *directly* to a database somehow, I'd just have nginx output JSON logs, which I could then feed into a program to periodically parse that, dump it in a database, delete the log file, and have nginx reopen the logfile.
