    Extremely Fast WordPress with Redis Cache

    To speak nothing of loading up a php-fpm thread, parsing a minimum of 3300 lines of php code before passing the result back. I don't believe php does any code caching normally so that's a full parse each time (this is where APC/Xcache/Opcache/Ioncube come in). As opposed to a hash check on the...

    Stallion 2 - pictures and daily updates :)

    If you start tracking bandwidth usage by account, that's going to start looking really weird and make accounting a bit odd. There was some weirdness on one of my VMs at LV last month that I wouldn't have noticed excepting that it was on a nearly unused kvm. Tracking only aggregate account...

    Google Authenticator on VPS

    Each yubikey slot is a 128 bit aes key, which it then uses to generate OTPs, etc. http://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/yubikey/technical-description/ You can reprogram the key with their personalization tool, which makes it rather difficult for yubico to know your key...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

      Not exactly the same thing, but I do something similar with my trusted CA privatekey for my vpn, pki auth, etc. It's not rpi though, I have it on my beagleboard, though there's no reason you couldn't do it on the rpi.

    Convert physical drive to virtual drive

    Makes sense to me. In that case, an openvz image is basically a tarball of the root directory without /boot or /lib/modules. Making one is pretty much as simple as  cd /mounted/disk/path ; tar zcpSf /openvz-img.tar.gz --numeric-owner -X . Worst case scenario, you rsync the data from the...

    Convert physical drive to virtual drive

    Why not pass physical disk directly to the kvm and call it good? Why does it need to be converted at all?   Assuming libvirt, add a block to your vm's container XML (or use virt-manager, or whatever you use to add this block for you)     <disk type='block' device='disk'>       <driver...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    Care to elaborate? I tried disabling RSS and a bit of OC (1GHz stable) but neither fixed my problem. Not like you can still get a model B w/ 256MB of ram, but I'm curious to know how I could have fixed it. Not that anyone asked, but I recommend the case I picked up, http://amzn.com/B008TCUXLW ...

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    I'd like a way to mark a topic as "this topic never appears in 'new content'" or an "ignore updates to this thread" button. There are many threads I cba to read that get updated a lot. Clearly, this is just user laziness but it's a feature I'd use.

    What is the best way to block Torrent Ports

     That's pretty clever, though a transparent squid proxy is a bit more than I'd put on most of my vpn hosts due to ram requirements. I think the problem becomes detecting torrenting; most, if not all, modern clients at least try to use encrypted connections, which you pretty much have to allow...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    rasbmc can be flakey, at least the version I tried. If you are running a 256MB board, don't even bother with it, it will lock up on you while trying to navigate menus and playback video at the same time (which is what it is designed to do, you can't avoid this); you really need a 512MB (rev2)...

    What is the best way to block Torrent Ports

    The easiest solution is to only allow outgoing connections to specific ports. The short list I use is as such: 22 - ssh default 80 - http 443 - https Add more depending on your usage scenario. If you need FTP, you can allow 21 & turn on ftp conntrack to allow the second connection through...

    Coding contest: Community driven ping/traceroute project

    I'm interested to see how you folks plan to mitigate abuse/peer authenticate/limit query rates. Writing an unauthenticated (open) peer ping/trace daemon in C is like a weekend project (10-15 hrs), probably less in a scripting language using existing tools. Anything but the most basic access...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    Model A has no ethernet phy. B rev1 is 256MB. B rev2 is 512MB and has mounting holes (which you can see in the picture).

    Stallion 2 - pictures and daily updates :)

    Hi Fran, I think 5 minutes for the first 48 hours, 15 min - 1 h granularity after that is appropriate, if it isn't too taxing on data storage (I suspect it won't be). More than that probably exceeds usefulness; anyone who needs more granularity is going to run their own stats anyway. -tw

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    2x raspi+USB DAC -> pulseaudio remote speaker endpoints, because I can't be bothered to run both speaker and ethernet wire. Another one resets the power on my flaky DSL modem after 10-20 minutes of no internet accessibility.

    Audio on my Linux PC?

    Try the following: pactl exit mkdir ~/.pulse echo 'autospawn=no' >> ~/.pulse/client.conf Then log out and log back in. Kill any esound processes that might be running. Make sure pulse is off too. Then tryto play any audio and check your playback volume/settings. Pulsesudio is probably...

    LUA Thoughts

    Couldn't you modify an existing network monitor to do what you want (nagios, et.al.)? I'm not sure you can even send a ping packet in lua, I don't recall lua sockets allowing raw packets; you'd have to roll-your-own bindings with raw socket support. I'd probably try python, perl, js/nodejs,  php...

    Nginx Wordpress php-fpm fastcgi_cache + Google Nginx PageSpeed

    <Edit: After actually reading how nginx handles upstreams, this can't possibly be the case (fcgi caching pagespeed). Let this be a lesson to anyone who would post w/o sleeping.>
