Running his personal blog. I'm sure he's a lovely guy and that, and everybody likes him, and his writings are interesting, and so on - but it usually takes a bit more than this before 50,000 visitors per day stops being meaningful.
- costco 4y agoI have a few not particularly popular sites and like 60% of the nginx log entries are presumably botnets (unless someone legit is scanning from residential IPs in Colombia) doing automated vulnerability scans. I still don't get why people get so worked up about this stuff. It happens every day and there is very little you can do to stop it. I've read some incredibly heated email exchanges that all started because some network admin is mad that someone is port scanning his IP space. Just use key based authentication and update your stuff. I don't really buy the load argument either - I hosted a site that was on the front page of HN for nearly a day on a $3/month Vultr VPS with 0 downtime.
- masswerk 4y agoWell, we may still worry about green computing. 50K requests/day per site isn't nothing, just for scans. Is does sum up considerably.
