There's a format that stores key and cert in the same file. Name escapes me now and I'm not sure if nginx supports it. Edit: it does. Just use that instead of messing with separate files

Is it still best practice to create a new key on cert renewal? It was just a few years ago.

Front door, back door, side door, whatever. Our backyard abuts undeveloped easements in San Francisco and we see rats out at evening and night. I've literally closed the door on a rat trying to tailgate after me. Door was only open lon

This article is misguided. A rat outside quickly becomes a rat inside your home after someone leaves the door open too long on a nice day. They also gloss over the disease vector aspect of picking up bacteria from pets. People aren't g

By Brazilian standards, this is peanuts...borderline clean, legal, and normal.

You can find used 40gig switches that break out to 10gig ports at less than $4 per port. That's pretty cheap. Even the older Arista and whitebox QCT stuff is less than $200-250 per switch. For a lab, I'd rather use something that

10gig stuff is pretty dirt cheap these days. I wouldn't mess around with 1gig and draw any conclusions about anything. 125MB/sec with iPerf is the max throughput of a 1gig link. Then again, iPerf doesn't do anything with the

You're doing something very wrong if that's what Ceph maxes out at. It's almost like you're trying to do this on a 1gig network.

That seems awfully annoying (having to plan a road trip rathe than just driving). Cars should be meant for driving, not planning.

There's nothing wrong with leasing transport. Almost all of NTT's network is leased, and pretty much everyone agrees they're a top flight network. The thing that makes HE unique is that they only sell full ports. They don&#x2

Hard to do that when everyone runs everything in the cloud. That's a very tough market to crack into.

How would a rural WISP "get some datacenters" on its network? Sorry, I'm not grasping your previous comment.

It's hard to work on network problems when the management network is also having problems. That requires dispatching people locally to sites to see what's going on. You're blind in both eyes, not just one. Look, I'm not

Who's to say that it's technical debt? Maybe they liked the way that their management network is designed? It's only debt if you realize it's bad and ignore it. To be perfectly honest, I don't know what's the b

YouTube and Netflix cache boxes are important for smaller ISP's. Their cache performance can literally make or break the monthly P&L. That said, I haven't heard about other OTT services offering a caching appliance. And there

You don't need to build and run your own datacenter to self-host. That's just ridiculous to think that's a requirement. Colo is more than fine.

What's your definition of huge? Just curious as it's still really cheap to rent racks even in top tier datacenters.

What happens if someone sends a layer 7 DDoS that you do respond to with a 200? Or 300-level?
263.
by scurvy 8y ago
The clouds don't do any filtering or mitigation for free. They just have enough bandwidth to pass the attack through to your servers and services. You're just moving the bottleneck here, as now you need to use a cloud DDoS mitigat

by scurvy 8y ago
Clouds are cheap for CPU. They're really expensive for storage and network. Most services still need to store bits and send bits, viable or not.

I was going to suggest this, too. It helped me quit smoking. Unsure about the effects on teenagers though. No idea about the down votes; yours is a very reasonable suggestion.

Hotmail and Messenger used a lot of rdist in the early days. Until one of the managers rdisted /dev/null to /etc/passwd. Just one of many lolz in the day.

Hotmail was FreeBSD on the front end until it switched to Windows IIS in an ISAPI filter. The back end was Sun E4500 with T3 purple storage. Then they switched to HP with some terrible RAID crap. Messenger was borne from the Net Meeting tea

Oddly, the US airline industry is regulated, safe, and makes a good profit. These things are not at odds with each other.

Back when I was a sysadmin at Microsoft, we installed F-Secure's SSH server on every server we built (Messenger/Hotmail). The Windows team thought we were nuts. Well, what do you expect if you ask a bunch of Solaris admins to run

Also, is Romana still actively developed? It seems like they had a lot of momentum, then suddenly things went radio silent on their Slack and git repo.
