    NYPD have been stopping people and asking them to upgrade to iOS7

    Hilarious. The fingerprint reader got "hacked" like a password gets "hacked" - they made a copy of the fingerprint and used it  :rolleyes:. At this point you need access to the fingerprint to get through - doesn't seem very "hacked" to me. They haven't even shown that they can lift a print off...

    NYPD have been stopping people and asking them to upgrade to iOS7

    I never thought I'd say I agree with Mun but, well, I agree. iOS 7 is already on 200m devices worldwide, I don't think the NSA needs to hand out fliers to get people to use it. Frankly, the the fact that people think this at all is hilarious.  It's merely because iOS 7 makes it more difficult...

    Kimsufi is fast to a VPS, glacial to home. Why?

    I, too, have had tons of problems with Comcast in general. If your traffic is going over Cogent with Comcast, you're more or less screwed.

    Kimsufi is fast to a VPS, glacial to home. Why?

    I get great speeds from my OVH - hitting ~7MB/s from my KS -> CC LA, 11.1MB/s KS -> RN Seattle, etc

    Google migrating to MariaDB MySQL !

    Frankly, as far as large companies go, I think Google has one of the best policies when it comes to user data. You can clear out your data from tons of their services via Google Takeout: http://www.dataliberation.org/ - if you mean to say you have a problem with the way they treat sensitive...

    Google migrating to MariaDB MySQL !

    If you really want a small DB using minimal resources, I'd say go for SQLite ;)

    Google migrating to MariaDB MySQL !

    I doubt this will be the case - Google is just lending manpower to get the features they want so they can migrate. If they were to back out now, the project would be just as active/viable/useful as it was pre-Google.  Personally I think this anti-Google mentality is a bit unwarranted. Yes...

    So, I got a 14U server rack that fits in my closet...

    9 servers sharing 20mbit up (and 100mbit down for that matter), hosted in a closet on Comcast business? And you think anyone is going to pay $60 per month??  L O L

    Why Mac is the best OS

    I won't be the first to admit there are downsides to OS X, but as far as reasons go, these are pretty dumb. For one, there's no "official" package manager for "GNU/Linux" either - there are standard package managers for distros, but that creates just as much confusion and crosstalk as the two...

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    Nah you don't need to pay extra for time machine, but I'll likely toss a gitlab install up there as well, which isn't covered. I see 99.9%

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    Let's get some things straight: RAID is not a backup: It doesn't prevent against an `rm` or FS corruption. RAID cards can break, causing massive data loss, etc.  There aren't even any non-raid VPSes at this price.  You say there's a "good chance" the drives aren't new. Think again. Mine's been...

    Building a CDN?

    Something like this: https://github.com/valyala/ybc/tree/master/apps/go/cdn-booster as an incredibly simple example. My thought was to use golang + redis, but that uses YBC, which is a pretty sweet looking k/v cache: https://github.com/valyala/ybc/blob/master/apps/go/cdn-booster/main.go

    Building a CDN?

    An alternative to using rsync would be making an origin-pull based system where each edge instance proxies back to a master node that has the content. On first load, it would need to call home, but after that, it would cache the content for as long as you set, and serve as an edge node. For...

    Nginx SubDomain proxy

    Your issue is likely that nginx will choose the first regex match for the request inside your configuration file, and disregard anything else. Quick and dirty hack might be to just add the same location block inside your php block?

    vpsBoard - Community input and feedback on our infrastructure and future

    That setup is a lot simpler because his site is all static content without databases. A round robin DNS setup with a bunch of HTML files is easy-peasy.  I still think we shouldn't jump into anything crazy, just get a big KVM that's DDoS protected, run the site on that, and then go up from there...
