    Best low cost CDN?

    If you have a lot of third party libraries you can use one of the javascript cdns (http://cdnjs.com/, https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/devguide, http://www.jsdelivr.com/) which run on a few of the cdns listed here (MaxCDN, CloudFlare, etc)

    Your opinion as a dedicated server customer

    As long as the IPMI is reliable (pretty much if it doesn't go down when it's actually needed) then making it more secure would be great. I'd even see a VPN limited to only the client's IPMI ip addresses useful. Timeout is fine too as long as it's realistic. Maybe offer a button to increase the...

    Home Network Setup

    I'm pretty interested to see what other people have, I love complex home networks with a bunch of machines to handle whole-house streaming etc. Our network is pretty simple, just a basic Modem + Router + Home Server. Motorola SB6141 for Comcast, Asus RT-AC68W (White version of the AC68U -...

    How much bandwidth do you use per day?

    Back with AT&T we used about 160-200GB/month, now with Comcast we're using close to 300GB/month. (5 family members in the house, 3 watch normal TV, Brother and I watch Netflix a lot) I should really get some kind of monitoring setup on this router/modem to see exact stats >.>

    XVM Labs | 512MB SSD OpenVZ | $2.87 per year | NOT VIRTOVO

    For the price it's actually not too bad. Not much downtime (maybe 5-10 hours max since I got it maybe a month ago), pretty good disk io, never really slow.

    Setup CDN

    If you have multiple nodes per country the standard GeoDNS stuff won't work too well, you'll usually have to find a provider that supports distance based GeoDNS. Use the nginx config from the blog post above, then use something like Rage4's "closest server first" mode for it. I'm currently...

    Nginx downloads php file instead of displaying it

    Check the user in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf - it's probably set to www-data. Change the user in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf to www-data, or change the user in www.conf to nginx.

    Nginx downloads php file instead of displaying it

    Pretty sure it's the try_files line in the php location block, you don't need it while passing files to fastcgi.

    Compile nginx from source or use apt-get install nginx?

    Nginx has official debian packages if you add their repo to apt. They're usually the latest stable version (as soon as 1.6 was released the repo had 1.6 packages) They only list 'squeeze' on their wiki page (http://wiki.nginx.org/Install) but change squeeze to wheezy and it works fine. If you...

    Writing a DB-Oriented Web App - Platform?

    Laravel has an AMAZING ORM called Eloquent. You can have relationships defined in your model to attach it to a publisher, and also get all books for a publisher too. When loading a book, if you defined your publisher relationship under "publisher()", you could do $book->publisher->(whatever...

    traceroute/ping looking glass via ssh

    LowEndPing might work for that, just enable websockets and use beanstalkd for the queue. If it doesn't I could always look into it and make it hopefully work. I just don't see how using ssh would change how it scales :p

    traceroute/ping looking glass via ssh

    I don't see why you'd want to use it with straight ssh, but if you're willing to drop that requirement there's  does exactly what you want.

    How to install VNC Server in OpenVZ VPS container (Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS)

    Nice and simple, I like it :) It would probably be better if you put it into a bash script instead of one line, then you could easily install it using something like "wget -qO- http://host/path/to/script | bash"

    Post your desktop!

    Recently got an SSD, so this is a semi-fresh install. I used to have the folders on the right directly on the desktop, but now they're on a secondary mechanical drive. Looks better than my last install :)

    Small linux distrubitions

    Alpine looks cool, how about a very very minimal command line Linux distro? I've seen basic shells at like 1.4MB, not sure if there's any other really small ones.

    Official Gameservers

    On-topic though, if the Minecraft server was an FTB Direwolf20 modpack I'd play for sure.

    Official Gameservers

    Team Fortress servers are a bit tougher to setup correctly, mostly because the servers will likely be empty most of the time due to quickplay :(

    Congratulations Nikki, wlanboy and peterw!

    LowEndPing

    Just pushed the result pages/archiving to the git repository, enjoy :) Laravel has a built-in queue system which was perfect for this, along with the ease of use it made it extremely easy to do. I also do not know much python. Python was chosen for the backend because it is a lot easier to...
