    What is your preferred web server?

    I used to always use lighttpd since @scv got me into it, but moved to nginx about a year and a half ago and haven't looked back. Both are amazing webservers, I just liked nginx more in the end.

    GeoDNS in PowerDNS

    PowerDNS supports different backends, one of them (which I used to use) being pipe which executes a command, and this one which was added in 3.2, which can use HTTP, Sockets, etc with JSON/RPC https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/backend-remote/ - Did some research and it's said that Unix...

    GeoDNS in PowerDNS

    PowerDNS' module doesn't support distance calculations, only country. I was going to use gdnsd, I just don't feel like messing with it to set it up the way I want (sql backend and all), so I wrote this.

    GeoDNS in PowerDNS

    Used to use PHP for this, but since this is a lot cleaner I figured I'd share it. https://github.com/nikkiii/powerdns-geodns You can try it out by resolving cdn.meow.tf, it'll return one of the following ips: 199.19.227.51 (BuyVM, Las Vegas) 199.195.250.46 (BuyVM, New Jersey) 199.233.232.50...

    Looking for some providers in unique locations to sponsor a small VPS

    Make sure you enable WebSockets with LowEndPing if you can, it'll help quite a bit :) If it is, make sure it's accessible since it can't connect to it.

    Home networking setup help. Using RaspberryPi to bridge wifi to network switch.

    You could also get a cheap router running dd-wrt (I believe there's some netgear or something everyone loves? I've only used WRT54Gs and an E3000.) I've done it before and it's quite reliable and easy to setup. You can even isolate your own little network from the rest of it quite easily, and...

    Seagate Hybrid drives with SSD enhancement - using them? SSHD

    I believe I have the same drive in my media pc. It does indeed start faster, though there's not much of a noticable read/write improvement (not really expected with a hybrid drive, let alone one that has 4gb of ssd space in a 2.5" form factor), it makes restarting less painful and everything...

    C2750 (Avoton)

    I've seen this topic brought up in sourcemod's irc channel, the general idea was that it wouldn't be too good past a normal messing around server. An E3 (recommended due to high clock) or dual quad xeons work great (I'm using a dual L5520 right now, no issues)

    Local/in-house virtual servers.

    Proxmox for sure, OpenVZ + KVM in an easy to use package.

    VaporNode Custom VPS Control Panel

    Give it a bit of color :) sb-admin v2 doesn't really stand out, try changing the nav colors. Also, tiny alignment issue on the "Manage Servers" page where it lists the servers, the text isn't aligned since the button is bigger, add a 'vertical-align: middle' css property to the element's...

    dd-wrt compatible hardware folks are liking lately - More CPU + more RAM

    Not sure how it'll run dd-wrt (I've seen a few threads saying it's compatible, but I'm not quite sure what will work and what won't on it), but the Asus RT-AC68U is a nice router. Dual core CPU and 256MB of memory, AC1900, 1 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0, and 4 Gigabit ports. The AsusWRT firmware is great...

    URL shortener script suggestions?

    Just run a mysql database with a php script that outputs header('Location: ' . $shortener->long_url), I can toss one together if you wish :)

    Pastebin software

    I never had an open source version of paste.ee, however I had a lua version of the laravel pastebin a while ago, still available here: https://github.com/nikkiii/luapaste It requires https://github.com/nikkiii/luadbi, https://github.com/nikkiii/luafcgid, and https://github.com/nikkiii/chariot...

    SolusVM SOLD and acquired by OnApp

    Scrapping the whole code base and rewriting it will likely improve it greatly. From what I can remember, it's pieced together from the original product without much consideration for how well it works with large-scale operations now. Other than that, you really need to look into the way the...

    Project Plugs. What are you working on?

    I've been pretty busy the past few months with work, but recently I've wanted to clean up Paste.ee with a new home page, better/less cluttered Javascript, and a couple new features. Also going to work on a PowerDNS frontend to replace poweradmin on my own dns cluster, which will be on github...

    Passwords and Storage!

    We all have a passphrased ssh key (I hope) I'd use the rsa key to encrypt an AES-256 key which is then used to encrypt the passwords. That's just me though, and there are probably better ways to do it.
