I knew you were talking about Private Layer long before you mentioned them in the end. They are utter shit and not representative of the Swiss hosting market.

But Google has absolutely the best peering available, which is a great advantage for many regions.

by Nyr 11y ago
Maybe if peering in Africa didn't suck big time and bandwidth wasn't prohibitively expensive, the situation would be different. Anyway, AWS in South Africa isn't worth it if routes to nearby countries go through London anyway

He was asking about Hetzner, he has a single server and obviously doesn't operate the network.

No, since you will be forced to use transit to reach many of your visitors. You don't even have the choice of direct connections to all of the world with just a single server in Germany.

With professional help/equipment you can either: * Get the blotters/microdots lab tested so you know dosage per blotter, then volumetric dosing. This is relatively easy/accesible although not very convenient. * If access to c

Yeah, so? If the server network is MITMed, you are fucked at so many levels that it doesn't even matter anymore.

Indeed, I don't want them to fund criminals with my money like those Swiss guys did. DDoS mitigation isn't that expensive antway considering the size of FastMail.

Akamai has direct connections to those "difficult" ISPs, CloudFlare uses transit to reach them. To provide an example: transit to DTAG via GTT (CloudFlare) is always saturated at peak hours. So Akamai has a big advantage (direct c

by Nyr 11y ago
There is something which Akamai does and CloudFlare doesn't want to (at the moment): pay big sums to those big ISPs which refuse to peer and want to sell very expensive direct connections.

> CloudFlare can do what Akamai does at a much more reasonable price. Not really. Akamai has presence inside many "too big to peer" networks, while CloudFlare doesn't (for now). You can't just compare CloudFlare to Ak

No one cares about 3 megabytes of disk usage. I did a quick memory "benchmark" for you. This is loading TechCrunch in 64 bit Chrome for Mac: * uBlock Origin: 92,9 MB * Adblock Fast: 54,7 MB Considering uBlock Origin packs a lot of

What's up with this nag? https://i.nyr.es/Captura-de-pantalla-2015-05-15-a-las-3.07.3... Your site is a simple WordPress blog, I'm sure you can perfectly host it for $1/month.

Assuming it is direct spoofed traffic and not a reflection, naming and shaming will accomplish nothing. Names of the big ISPs allowing this are not a secret.

Sorry to break your bubble, but you are not going to last. Man, you are selling PPTP VPN on a $14/year VPS... and no, RamNode will not let you run public proxies either. Nor will do Atlantic.net in your $1/month VPS. Nice try, but

It does implement support for lossy LZW compression which I assume he's using for this.

Not making money makes it legal in Spain and Hungary for example. US law doesn't rule the world.
