I've used loadimpact.com before. Pretty good scripting capabilities.

Sure, but I think what the poster is trying to get at is.. why couldn't you make a configuration using the NUC's that was more than a demo environment? I don't see any reason you couldn't as long as your infrastructure d

Mostly agree, although in this case I say mostly because the colo facilities where you can easily rent a single unit of space are far and few between these days. If we were still in an environment where there were tons of hosts like Verio s

Apparently it's pretty natural for these small animals to run such long distances. My wife has a hamster and they are known to run at least 9km a night. We had to find it a different room to live in because it will be up ALL night runn

I prefer using Symmetric Encryption: https://github.com/reidmorrison/symmetric-encryption It's super simple to setup and maintain. The only pain-point is how to distribute the private key to new-users. Haven'

Chef supports encrypted data-buckets where you decrypt only on the server. Puppet supports hiera data with encryption as well (via plugins). There's no reason anyone should be storing password information in source, especially API keys

I think the issue is less with the number of tweets per second (not very impressive as you suggest), and instead the requirement that those same 6000 tweets fan out to all of the various feeds/locations that they need to show up at and

Last I heard btrfs was still not considered a stable main production filesystem. Has this changed recently? Even just late last year I had not heard of production 'success' stories on it. Unless something has majorly changed, the

Well, simply enough, it's kind of a difficult problem to solve. The way most rails apps do it, is deployment with Capistrano or similar. There's also Fabric which can interface pretty well with rails deployment as well. Honestly t

I'd say the tax portion is actually a huge consideration for many businesses that would be comparing between leasing or buying. If you purchase $100k of hardware or more, that can have a pretty significant tax benefit.

I don't really feel this factors in to this particular talk that much. Not only has Amazon had some VERY high-profile outages (meaning making the national news), but just about every cloud provider has or does have outages of more than

About $5/Mbps here! It seems like you can get some pretty good deals if you find a newish data-center. Internap has been building out like crazy recently and gave us a great deal on bandwidth. I remember the days of potentially hundred

Agreed. The inability to specify a restart delay is just silly. It makes that functionality only useful for OOM type issues where the main process dies unexpectedly. Network transition type problems and you're going to have-a-bad-time.

Not that I can think of. Upstart is slightly simpler than systemd to build configuration files for, but that's also because it doesn't have any advanced features like memory/processor/IO limits or the like. Additionally

This is pretty sad to me. Sony has a lot of great ideas and their style for VAIO products I can't think of any other manufacturer than Apple with anything approaching it. Their tablet->laptop convertible machines especially are real

Sadly many homeowners in the US look down upon renters. I have personally encountered this at least a couple times in my life. Generally it comes with situations where a neighborhood sees a mix of homeowners and renters, which is generally

If I may, one additional thing that I found which helps a lot with memory issues as relate to MySQL: Use jemalloc or similar. Essentially I brought a system which killed off the MySQL service every few weeks in OOM, to running faster than e

I've been looking at a couple different 'push' style monitoring solutions, including Sensu. Does anyone have any experience between Reimann and Sensu, or any of the other similar alternatives out there which they'd be wi

Still in beta/alpha as far as I last checked (we've been waiting for it). Additionally as far as clustering is concerned there still seem to be a lot of 'unknowns' for me with clustering Redis. Using a cluster in RabbitM

Disagree with the seven figures number. Six figures, sure. Seven is just silly. You can have a lot of gear or servers for mid/low six figures.

I've had huuuuge problems with defer_javascript before using specific libraries. If it works it is an amazing help, but I'd carefully bug-test after you implement if you use that filter!

I think the issue is not that the exchanges charge too much, or that the prices aren't different between the exchanges (they are, sometimes vastly so from what I've seen). The problem as I would see it, is that you can't extr

I think my favorite part of it had to be the readme for using it with decorators: @fuckit def func(): problem_solved That has to be the best piece of code I have ever seen.

Why does that have to be the case though? The universe/galaxy are already very old. I can't imagine there's anything preventing alien beings from having gone through an entire life-cycle already, since humans began to walk th

That is pretty great. Thanks for the link! Would be cool to also have an installer option but it's also nice being able to stick it on a USB device.

I totally agree. Sometimes the strength of making a 'quick bash script', is that you are making a quick bash script. I have made some pretty strong, well tested projects in bash before including one that was a big part of an open-

Bash is for most things, one of the easier languages I have dealt with, being even beyond python, etc. That is though, for shell type scripting. There's many problems with it, but the only one I've run into that keeps it from bein

It's cheap to live in San Diego? Please tell that to my landlord. Certainly cheaper than SF proper, but really you end up paying a lot for gas (Because you drive everywhere) and food. At the end of the day, you probably aren't sav
