Lighttpd has received very nice updates lately (HTTP/2, etc.) and I use it daily for mission critical servers (facing private customers) behind HAProxy, Varnish and the like. No problems so far after 5 years.

"Ensure non-production environments do not contain production data" Yeah right, so how can you reproduce some bugs that only appear on production data, on other environment that is not production?

Not tested recently, but 3 years ago it was said that Redis was slightly faster than memcached for PHP sessions -for example- and I benchmarked it to decide to change. Add persistence to that formula and Redis was a winner for me (put your

Also remember to look for replaying using Roland MT-32 emulation for enhanced music: some adventure titles had better music and effects with that card, and for some folks it was not easy to have it.

I stopped worrying about breaking linux workstations and not-virtualized servers after discovering "Relax and Recover" (ReaR) which allows "Acronis-like" ISO rescue to previous "snapshots". I think it's ni

Yeah, I care about the code that comes into the repository: charset, tab/spaces, style, etc. Who cares about the OS or IDE the developer used to commit or type? Unless you see a productivity/code issues problem...

Haven't tried the latest versions of WinFsp + SSHFS-Win, glad to see a new GUI for the later and new versions. My experience is good but if you have an unstable connection, the mapped drive didn't reconnect by itself at all times.

Well, a debugger on a breakpoint should allow you to inspect any local scope variables along the globals, go through the call stack.. And you can watch vars, execute immediate commands and more in others. If that's not "print&quot

Since nobody mentioned it, imapsync[1] is a gorgeous command line utility that does one thing and does it well: copy an IMAP account from server A to server B, by sync only, so you can stop / disconnect at any time and continue where t

Same here about Olivetti. In case you didn't know, last year I learnt about PCem, an emulator to bring back to life those XT 8086 8088, 286, 386, 486... Take a look at my page about it ;) https://juangacovas.info/doku.p

Sorry, I meant multi-source replication (different masters, different DBs to same slave(s)).

Self-hosting MariaDB with multi-master replication. Works pretty well for my cases. Have a friend that was surprised by the AWS pricing changes on Aurora (they charge per query now instead of bandwidth/usage?)

For the sake of discovery, I'd say Manticore search does a pretty (and fast) good job with full text searches and suggestions.
