   I didn't know Cloudflare was that harsh, that's frustrating, sorry about that :(

   The SheevaPlug is cool, but it seems like the newest ones have gone a slightly different route and thrown everything you could possibly want at it - wifi, bluetooth, audio, etc? That's all nice stuff, but just adds to the power and price fo

   Yes you could, I've been experimenting with running a server on arm for a couple of months and its surprisingly capable. Node works well on arm because of all the effort google make for v8 to run well in Android

   Sorry about that, the blog is hosted on linode, who had scheduled a reboot for tonight, which turned into a 2 hour outage... The colo I picked only charges for electricity and excess bandwidth, which is why I picked them. It cost £50 to ins

   Yes, it's been very reliable for me. It ships with angstrom Linux, but it's trivial to install Ubuntu. I've got it hosted in a collocation rack now, so it had better stay reliable :-) I've written a short blog post about it http://www.ewa

   I'm using a beaglebone running Ubuntu, it's a brilliant little box, cost £55. There's the pandaboard too, which is more powerful with hdmi output

   It depends is the only honest answer. However, personally I find it uses less memory, which if nothing else frees up space for other processes

    I think this post was written mostly as a joke, right? First of all, it was written in 2009, secondly it starts: Now this is really really eerie stuff. Today I came to office wearing my “Holland” T-shirt. I normally never wear this shirt to

    You can't see this unless you're set to United States in your preferences, but it does look extremely like old Google, which is no bad thing.

    I can well imagine that newer machines have it, and older ones don't, and slowly over time they'll end up with everyone using ECC. The costs involved were a lot higher 3-5 years ago than they are today.

    I don't think there's a confirmed source, but there's certainly indications, for example, an AWS post that they use ECC memory for the GPUs in their cluster GPU instance http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2010/11/new-ec2-instance-type-the... Give

    A bit silly yes, but nginx.org doesn't support https, which is slightly more silly and rules out most other options.

    No problem, no offence taken :) I only picked the micro because it's cheap, and AWS let me fire one up, build the config, break it, trash it, and start again, all in rapid succession. One thing though, this configuration doesn't actually ne

    Yeah but my 11% extra cost me 400% more RAM, so you probably win :) I knew I'd seen a similar post in the past, but couldn't find it.

    Mostly because some people won't be using EC2, and I didn't want to leave them unprotected. I thought I might as well include it - it's a trivial addition after all.

    Mmm, your right it'll cost something, though AWS free tier covers 15GB per month of bandwidth, then 12 cents per GB after that, so I'd expect it to be a few $. Obviously though, there's cheaper options than AWS out there - Linode include 20

    Thanks - I half knew about the cookies, but didn't worry about them as most people going to my site (or most other blogs) won't actually be logged in. Didn't touch shmlog configuration, or threading - everything I changed is on the post. I

    Thanks :) Hope I see a blog post from you about it sometime soon, I think the details around that kind of stuff are far too hard to discover for people trying to learn about it.

    I do wonder why W3 Total Cache or one of the other options isn't a standard feature of Wordpress.

    Of course, all this really lets you do is survive a swarm of people from (for example) here, digg, a tweet meme, stuff like that, which will direct everyone at one single page on your site. But I think that's the most likely cause of that k
