Well, perhaps. 1GB VPSes should be doable.  2GB should be plenty of overkill space.  Separating the software stack on a site like this will be unnecessarily complicated and add unnecessary latency. Frankly we need to revisit the affordable DDoS protection options out there.  CNServers seems to...

Well, ask them how their servers connect to that SAN.  I'm guessing it is nothing fancy, maybe a few bonded gigabit NICs. That's the downside of SANs, "slow" interconnects for a "near local" storage solution.  Yeah, you can get faster, but the stuff costs real cash and end up multiplying that...

You and that IPV6 love @D. Strout :) Strange though on the IPV4 routing also.  I suspect the IPV4 is fine/correct.  Geolocation info just wrong (i.e. geolocated to Cloudflare HQ's?) IPV6 handoff in Europe = FACEPALM. Frankly, unsure who/what is totally to blame though. I suspect there is...

How has that unit been?  Ran it for any extended period of time?   Been considering one for eons since natural gas prices have dropped so much.

  Me too :) Like usual everything bumped back for another night. :(

This is a great idea.   Every car should have a 12V to wall power inverter.  Only thing to note here is the inverter you likely have (most are) isn't pure sine wave.  So it is not great power and can break/cause issues with equipment.  Splurge for a pure sine wave inverter then life is perfect...

The J-Roc compilation was a hoot :)

Another brain pooling. Any SIP users (phone) here? What ATAs or SIP compliant phones do you recommend?  Doesn't need to be new, expensive, etc.    Not interest in Android/cellular phones doubling as SIP client.

True. For this to work right each and every front nodey should have full stack to serve the site plus DDoS protection from that provider/network.

True to an extent.  But there are multiple front ends.    They would have to know all the front ends and DDoS multiple networks. I've ran a similar solutions for 4+ years without any major issues. Biggest piece is monitoring the top nodes and getting them pulled out of the pool quickly when...

Mighty interesting. Too bad they seemed to have stopped in 2009 :(  No new distro stuff on there.

^ this.  

Well, this sort of HA setup as proposed will work and does work.  There are MANY HUGE sites that do essentially this.  Cloudflare does this essentially. The sniffing for login data part, that's a real concern though. Shouldn't be plugging these front end nodes on to just any network anywhere...

Typically server determination from a pool of available backends is done via simple hashing.  Hashing of the requesting party's IP address or of the URL being requested. There has to be a way to accomplish that inside of Varnish.  Been years since I dabbled with Varnish.  Less pieces involved...

I'm not sure what is worse, his belief that his people are highly tolerant of carbon monoxide or that we expect the fire department to babysit and nitpick everything in everyones homes....

Master-Master... Can't say I've tried that. Who has done that in MySQL without an issue? I won't kick this idea, as I implement the very same general idea :) I see Varnish to HAProxy.  Why both?   Varnish can do whatever HAProxy can for a project like this (I think). How is the determination...

Honda makes good everything.  You'll pay for them though :)   As far as quiet, well, no such beast exists.  All gen sets are fairly noisy.   Me, I am saving up for when I have time to convert my gas guzzler to a tri-fuel setup (adding natural gas and propane as a fuel option). Good ideas :)  ...

Well, I use to have UPS units all over the place... The batteries - SLAs are just entirely junk and dead scrap in no time.  Run time on them is embarrassing too.  Even the large ones intended for racks. I have one 5Kw generator that runs on gasoline.   Also have an assortment of DC generators...

Yeah slogging along way slow currently. 35 second+ page load times. Almost certain it's  MySQL this time.

That looks mega simple and easily adapted to Debian. Going to work on that overnight and see if I can replicate success in Debian.   And, figure out, if it works, how to inject multiple OS selections. Thanks a bunch @KuJoe!
