I love this thing because if you remove the first four points, it's just a good how-to about life in general. Actually if you follow these rules you may never have to vanish :
#Discard your old life. #Limit the resolve and resources of your opposition. #Run from your opposition (and your old life.) #Hide from your opposition.
Make new friends. Acquire a (new) identity. (Legal papers: Birth record, Social Security #) Find gainful employment. Pay your taxes. Get medical, life, and automotive insurance. Get a credit card -- and keep it paid up. Perhaps take college courses to learn a new marketable skill. Acquire and maintain respectability in your community. Find a wife or husband: Make a (new) family. Don't drink heavily, don't use any illegal drugs, don't do any crimes. Die with dignity.

"nginx does provide health_check in its commercial builds, but at this time I'm not too inclined to pay $1500/server/year for the pleasure."
But Varnish does it for free out of the box ! Quick example from the documentation (https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/BackendPolling) :
backend b0 { .host = "phk.freebsd.dk"; .probe = { .url = "/probe.cgi"; .timeout = 34 ms; .interval = 1s; .window = 10; .threshold = 8; } }

Python files vs Paraguayan domains
Am I the only one annoyed when Google Chrome tries to lookup for a Paraguayan domain when I search for a python file (e.g alignlib.py ) directly from the adress bar? Is there a way to prevent this? Thanks in advance.
