It needs updating for my flow control and on-line reconfiguration enhancements, but this is what I have got documented at the moment: https://pagekite.net/wiki/Floss/PageKiteProtocol/ If I were starting from scratch today, I'd base off we

Also, may as well publicly repeat my invitation to have a chat about standardizing a protocol around this kind of thing. You're rewriting everything anyway... bre at pagekite dot net. :-)

Thanks for pointing that out! Sounds like a bug.

http://pagekite.net/wiki/Floss/FreedomAndPrivacy/ is what motivates me - PageKite is an attempt to bootstrap a peer-to-peer web where IP addresses don't matter anymore and servers can run literally anywhere, so people can actually self-ho

PageKite is not a localtunnel clone, it is a much bigger concept. Otherwise I wouldn't have founded a company around it. It just happens that the use case for web developers overlaps and that is what folks seem to care about around here. :

Very, very nice. Did you write it?

Obviously, I am biased, but I use this all the time . It's just so nice to be able to use ssh and rsync and git and all the other standard tools to interact with mobile and virtual devices, no matter what kind of network connection they ha

I don't think Localtunnel can, but PageKite will carry any TCP stream as long as the client knows how to prefix its request with an HTTP CONNECT preamble. This has mostly proven popular for remote administration via. SSH, since most SSH cl

Author of PageKite here - funny to see this reposted yet again. :-) In case anyone has any comments/questions/... we're listening. Also, if you haven't checked out PageKite in a while, the most recent 0.5 release fixes a lot of minor issue

Primary motivation: I want to see as many people as possible use something I built and know it has improved their lives in some minor way. Secondary motivation: I want to have the freedom to work on things I enjoy and care about, as opposed

I have this problem now and then. I've begun to treat it as a sign from my subconscious that my code has become ugly and some housekeeping/re-factoring is in order. Sometimes I can push through (e.g. due to a deadline) by picking at indivi

I am living (frugally) off http://pagekite.net/ at the moment. TBH I am not sure it counts as we managed to secure a government grant for building our initial product. We've got a year left of "runway" before we need to either become cash

How can 100,000 pages of anything computer generated be "high quality information"? What are you generating? I admit I am skeptical, but I am also genuinely curious. :-)

If Starter Edition lacks the "easily pirated" feature, then it can't really displace Windows XP in these cases.

by HerraBRE 15y ago
You're right, but it still didn't work when I tested it. Looks like I should have dug deeper to figure out why, instead of just "blaming XP".

As a side-note, it is not just IE that is affected, any browser which relies on the bundled OS encryption libraries has the same problem. It has been a while since I checked (I did a fair bit of SNI-related research for the HTTPS support in

This post explains mostly the rationale behind the pricing scheme, which I would love to get feedback on from the HN community. For people who want to see the pricing scheme itself, the link is https://pagekite.net/pricing/

It strikes me that musicians are like computer geeks, in that they often have a fair bit of expensive kit lying around and there is a fair bit of tech involved in making and recording good music. So if in addition to showcasing the music, y

You've got it backwards. Apple, and anyone else who forces DRM on their users, needs changing. IMHO. :-)

> The app doesn't even work and people are still talking about it? That's insane. I disagree. The app has raised awareness of some serious issues which already existed before the app was created and still exist after it stopped workin

Seems I've been downvoted for an unhelpful answer. :-P The problem isn't the size of each individual resource, it is the total volume of resources. In fact, the small size of web resources makes the problem worse, not better - a local disk

You are very sure of many things, which I have already tested and proven to be incorrect on my machine. So far, switching off the cache seems to be an improvement for me. Your situation may be different, but I suggest you measure and test

I have one of those fancy networks that can open multiple TCP/IP connections in parallel, whereas my Firefox disk cache lives on one of those crappy old spinning disks which can only do one seek at a time. :-)

by HerraBRE 15y ago
I am talking about on-disk cache, not in-memory cache. Being memory constrained means I do not have a large filesystem cache and cannot afford to have it smashed by lots of cache reads/writes. It also means the odds that a cached (on disk)

To celebrate this article, I just set my cache size in Firefox to zero. Why? Aside from being a bit contrary by nature, I present the following... Fact: My netbook is memory constrained and the network is often faster than my local disk. Hu

I think you may have an error in the AGPLv3 description, where you say "No" in the "Web Apps" column.
