I have just placed the first building block of a project that will be a long one. If everything goes as planned, it should see the light in about two years. It came to mind thanks to a comment from a wonderful person here in the Fediverse, and another comment (completely unrelated) from someone […]

Static Web Hosting on the Intel N150: FreeBSD, SmartOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux Compared
Compare static web hosting performance on an Intel N150 using the same nginx.conf across FreeBSD jails, SmartOS zones, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux, focusing on HTTP vs HTTPS and TLS CPU usage.

Cloudflare's problems today confirmed what I have known for a long time: if a customer is down for half an hour due to some kind of server issue (disk replacement, etc.), they immediately start saying a way must be found to avoid it.

Major Cloud providers have all suffered significant outages recently. At an unprecedented rate.
They are firing engineers because of their 'AI'.
I wonder if these things are related.
