Too bad they didn't give an edgy name like "agile" or "scrum"...

This is not exactly a new idea. In 1994 we added crunchgen(1) to FreeBSD which does the exact same thing for use on install and "Fixit" floppies. I wrote the first prototype as a mess of shell-commands, and James da Silva from Mar

The Lawsuit was a big factor. It was more complex than most people realize and it was unclear for some time where it left the open source BSDs: Were we covered or not ? One way or the other, we got sent back to "Start" (Do not co

What Fastly has done starting from Varnish 2.x was what they needed to do, to do what they wanted to do: Build a global CDN business. There are difference between "running Varnish on your website", "running Varnish for your

Thread-per-request seems even more correct to me, given the increased cost of system-calls, now that Spectre and Meltdown fixes are in.

That sounds like the dreaded "Long TTL hit-for-pass object" issue. The situation happens when an object which should be cached gets hit with a request which causes 'pass' (typically because of headers tested in builtin.v

Moving a fifth of all HTTP traffic is not a meaningless anecdote in my vocabulary. And engaging in a debate about irelevant technical details applicability in Varnish, with a person who clearly has never actually run Varnish ? I have better

Well, if you want to "contest most the points in that page." I suggest you do so on substance, rather than by going after the person ? There is a difference between "being ignorant" and "ignoring". I don't

Pretty much whatever they prefer, and pretty much anything can work so take your pick. My personal preference is 'hitch' because I want as few lines of code involved with the certificates as possible. For important sites, I recomm

No, they're not "reasonably sounding". Take for instance "but you're still going to be dropping performance on the floor vs other I/O models as you get into the 1000s of connections" Notice how it was writ

In case any of you have questions about V6, I'll keep an eye on this thread to answer them today. Contrary to the trollish claims below, Varnish works quite nicely, and is involved in around one fifth of all HTTP traffic globally.

I'm not going to reply to this, because you clearly have no first hand experience with Varnish and merely parrot what negative opinions you have been able to search out, in order to smear me, for reasons you don't disclose.

All this advise applies equally to USA (in particular if you are brown), England and certainly Russia.

"desktop" is a totally useless and nonsensical classification, when they do not (which is obvious from their numbers) count laptops plugged into a screen & keyboard for the duration of a workday as a "desktop".

I don't suppose that particular workload was very suited for Varnish in the first place, if you read carefully, you'll soon realize that most people don't have that kind of content. I have heard from (other parts of) BBC that

The reason I don't want to link Varnish against a SSL library, is that in my considered opinion, they all suck. From a purely operational point of view, you are better of with two different SSL proxies in front if your Varnish (or othe

No, that is not why. The reason why the tech sector does not engage in politics, is that people feel they are above politics and "don't want to get dirty". Further more, they're sure the laws doesn't matter on the I

You fail to grasp the key point here: If the state cannot break your encryption, they will break you instead.
