   Maybe he decided that the time required to support Windows users isn't worth the money? He is quite a busy guy from what I've seen.

   I care more about concurrency than "speed". nginx is better at concurrency than Cherokee and most other webservers. Oh well.

    There was a post on Reddit (can't find it now) that claimed this map had been debunked but didn't link to a source. Anyone have a source on the map or a debunking?

    You're missing a really important ssh setting: disable password-based authentication! However, this still won't protect you from vulnerabilities in your ssh daemon itself. Optimally, you would use Single Packet Authorization.

    You'll have to reboot the Linode to change the root password from your control panel. Do not use passwords to auth over SSH! Use ssh-keygen to generate a key and copy the contents of the .pub to your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and disable Passw

    This is only an issue if you're using password authentication and do not drop traffic on ports on which you are not running services. Just use Single Packet Authorization, people.

    That flexible weighting looks nice! Thanks for the link. Yeah, if I ever use a NoSQL datastore on a project I'll likely end up using Solr. Faster than writing a new Sphinx interface for it.

    What size dataset are you talking about? I've never seen Sphinx crash even when indexing hundreds of gigs of documents. Are there any relevant bug reports?
23. 803.▲
    by getsat 16y ago

    This and Sphinx's insanely fast indexing speed are two of the main reasons I like it so much. Java is a huge dependency in my opinion. Different strokes for different folks. :)

    You should look at Unicorn as an alternative to Passenger for your Rails apps. You just send it a USR2 for zero downtime deploys. Pretty nice setup. https://github.com/blog/517-unicorn http://unicorn.bogomips.org/ Varnish isn't a webse

    Yes, I believe so. I'm really excited that the event MPM is no longer experimental. I had tried it way back in the day, but mod_php could not be safely used with it as mod_php was (is?) not thread-safe. I wasn't aware of FCGI at the time.
