Last September I spent a little time going through Beowulf and pulling out words we no longer use but are still active in modern Swedish. I got to 100 very quickly. I can't speak so much for German, having only a basic grasp, but to me

Cheers for your thoughts. I suspect the UK public library authority I would have to appeal to would have zero motivation to help with SSH access, unfortunately. I imagine it has been blocked for a specific reason, probably some previous or

I didn't want to spend too much time poking around, but it seemed odd to me too (wrt the browser-console). Cheers for the stunnel/OpenVPN thoughts, they ought to get through. It would be great if SSH could itself emulate SSL, in t

Does seem to do the trick, and I have half of that already set up - just need to work out the config for Nginx. It's a smart workaround indeed. Thanks for that.

One problem I have with SSH is DPI. Deep Packet Inspection seems to be behind the SSH block in place at a local library I work at. SSH out in any form just isn't possible there, even via a browser-based console (such as that used by Di

Ugh. I despair. Obviously the guy has a lot of defenders. Fair enough. Good luck to you all. Has anyone seen that pending comments feature in use yet?

OK - my last comment on this - the book has wasted enough time already... For my sins, I read it. And it was painful. But he doesn't say what you remember he did. You took away the wrong message. He belittles the 'slowlane' a

Yes, I read it. He says in the book that it took him ownership of four consecutive MLM businesses (I use the term lightly) to realise that the only person who profits from MLM is the person who starts the business itself. Who needs four f

Was trying to refrain from making negative comments on this book, having recently read it, but I can't resist just a few to save some people some wasted time: . The style is very 'motivational speaker', written by a self-conf

6 years. That's my favourite part. Kudos for sticking at it throughout when I'm sure there were times it felt less than certain it would work out. Been working on my own startup for (what feels like) too long, having to actually e

My thoughts exactly. A portable system powered by a pocket-sized computing device, or a more powerful desktop, or the portable device dialling into the desktop. Perhaps rather than a camera a simple (Blade Runner-ish) SLR-type of screen fli

What you describe is more of a computer. I want that too, have done since those pocket organisers in the 90s, or the Casio Databank that played dial-tones of friends' numbers down the phone line. What we really want, I think, is the ul

Maybe try again with a more recent version? My initial backup of 450 megabytes took just over 30 minutes, with subsequent additions taking seconds only in most cases. Same story for the second server, both over sftp. I don't know what

Yes, they're both quick and incremental, but there are some easily spotted differences. Here's a few: . GPG encryption . Unattended key-based backups via sftp . Push/pull backups/restores . The stability and support of a

Really been impressed with Obnam's speed and ease of use for backing up sites/configs via ssh, with cron kicking things off based on the (relatively detailed) config. Look forward to testing the new release. Took a while to initia

A few ideas: . Start a business that can scale despite technology. Pen, paper, lots of talking - add tech later . Use a 'content framework' such as Drupal - it can cover a wide range of business models where storage and viewing of

My opinion is different to yours. Piwik with Nginx was easy enough to set up and provides the data I am interested in, including conversions of goals (something I was dubious about before installing). New version even more snazzy than previ

That's smart. I typically hit Ctrl+R then use keywords from the path. Not flawless, but only a few keystrokes when it works.

Yes, it is completely futile, if you ask me. I've thought a lot about the varying arguments, to the point where all parties from agnostics to the religious and/or spiritual and even the (noisy) atheists frustrate me for their abso

Obnam can also push/pull backups over SSH/SFTP. Seconded.

How to run 4+ Wordpress sites on a Digital Ocean VPS with Nginx (and survive HN)(lukespear.co.uk)

This is definitely cause for anxiety, and a learning curve in itself. At my end I try to keep things patched, check the listening ports and run Tripwire, rkhunter etc. Cheers for the Wordfence tip, I'll take a look.

You're right, but I suppose we move over to VPS partly for performance/control, so an Nginx setup with swap memory and tuned MySQL would be nice in a one-click.

If it wasn't the memory issue, then systematically check your plugins for ropey code, and deprecated calls etc. There's plenty of debugging in the logs and plugins to be had. 300 users really shouldn't trouble the server; som

That definitely does perform better. My blitz tests fell off quite quickly after around 130 concurrent users, so I'm sure there's room for further improvement. But the site did just stay up after being on the front page for a go

Good call - trending towards less resources, a more optimized experience over less bloat would be an ideal direction for 'our' market.

Yes, a strange and perhaps odd liberating feeling is there. Also slight terror about you yourself being nearly fully accountable for any backups, downtime or losses. Linode have great hardware, too. I can see how 15 sites would be possible.
