- walrus01 10y agoI'd love to see a traffic graph of your cupboard to know what an HN Slashdot effect looks like in Mbps/pps.
- justicerage 10y agoI'll be writing another blog article about this in a few days. I'm installing Splunk at the moment to see the metrics myself!
- nalllar 10y agoI use "cupboard hosting" too, but behind cloudflare free tier with aggressive caching.
- justicerage 10y agoI do not condone of Cloudflare and their way of making life impossible for Tor users.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoConsider running Varnish on a Digital Ocean node, pointing at your cupboard origin.
- justicerage 10y agoThat's a great suggestion. I'll definitely set this up.
- nalllar 10y agoI suggested a free caching solution specifically because you are using "cupboard hosting". This usually means you're trying to keep costs as low as possible. You can whitelist TOR users on cloudflare by setting up a rule for it, it's quite easy to do. Of course, you're free to choose not to support them/use their product as the default behaviour is to aggressively shove captchas ato TOR users.
