I can recommend the WP Super Cache plugin[0] - it can generate pre-gzipped static sites and then you can setup your webserver[1] to prefer those, or non-compressed static files and…

> What is hard, is dual stack networking. Dual stack networking absolutely sucks, [...] Clearly you have gotten some unfortunate hands on experience with those edge cases. In my us…

Sigh I work at a company that not long ago added support for applications written to use SUPRA to their portfolio. It's not dead yet, there are companies out there still running it…

And to add one more option to the comments (beyond [frontend] + php-fpm): Nginx Unit https://unit.nginx.org/ - like Apache + mod_php runs as a single service, handles the multiproc…

The B-29 was the first bomber with a pressure cabin. This allowed it operate at a high altitude for a longer time than other bombers of the era, staying out of flak range, etc. I i…

Correct, Spamassassin will not classify emails be default. But it does include a Bayesian classifier and tooling that can be used to train it with curated ham and spam emails. It d…

It's the same censorship-model as with mail servers: You can use a big shared hoster and the rules of that hosts country and their policies apply. You can run your own and you will…

This was a common criticism in my circles (friends, work colleagues, acquaintances in tech meetups) in the mid-to-late 00s with Facebook: They called all contacts "friends" and in …

This tool does have it's appeals to folks that run web applications behind web servers in containers. For example, in this project we use nginx + php-fpm to serve some PHP app: htt…

Reg. yq/jq incompatibility - unsurprisingly there are many projects that provide yq functionality as wrappers around jq. To list but a few: - https://kislyuk.github.io/yq/ - https:…

See also the list in the official docs: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/community/community-in...

For clients, IMHO, SLAAC is fine and means I don't have to maintain and run a DHCP service anymore. One less thing that can fail, while SLAAC only fails me if the routers IPv6 link…

In this model, you wouldn't await the user clicking OK, but exiting the modal. The promise only resolves "user took a decision", not the actual choice they took. The result then co…

Would a webserver configuration file count? The code on the webserver minifies the CSS file and embeds it into a Link header - you could configure a webserver to respond with a gen…

This is a good example of how scale can bias your view! :-D Personally I share the same experience: In the 30 years I've been using personal computers at home and work, only 2 disk…

Here is an example of doing just that - with a nice graph of where the site is currently served from: http://solarprotocol.net/

If they are required for the compile and someone manages to get something malicious into them, they can certainly affect the produced/deployed artifact. See Ken Thompson, Reflectio…

There is an ongoing effort to port those games from David Ahl's book into modern languages. It includes Hammurabi, if you'd like to experience it on a modern system: https://github…

I'd like to suggest two arguments that made me use software encryption on my tapes instead: 1. You don't have to trust the hardware and can use tool I trust and have the sources fo…

Nice! Mine caught it as well. https://social.dssr.ch/display/47b62552-9461-e5ad-2f0a-4e261...

Yes, you can start with that. There is a k8s distro called k3s that runs fine even on 1GB Raspberry Pi 3. I have been running it on those for a while, but also on other SBCs. You c…

I always assumed it was down to them creating their homepages early on (as in: the mid-to-late 90s) and having gotten used to editing the raw HTML file using vi/emacs/ed/whatever w…

I absolutely prefer to have the option to go into a datacenter in a hurry and actually fix stuff and be in charge, then be stuck with having to wait an indefinite amount of time, t…
