what on earth is this "news" site??

So we now proof that we're human by failing those tests?

Found the page in google cache : http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4Mdo7Yu...

https://1.1.1.1 and also every1dns.com seem to point there

Basically this is true and this leads to the conclusion that instance types like (micro, small and medium) are quite underpowered compared to "today's" usage patterns right?

This was also a concern after browsing trough the tutorial. how do we secure the data if it's available to everyone ;)

Longtime Windows Admin, switched to OSX in 2008 and working on OSX since end of 2011.

that were my first toughs too... but sometimes a little hack hasn't to be complex ;)

Of course Elastic Scaling is not possible. Because Hosting a server in a datacenter and having cloud instances are two different stories. If you have need for flexibility you can simply run a loadbalancer having your base hardware hosted for a good price at hetzner (or another datacenter you like) and then spin up some AWS Instances behind the loadbalancer for dealing with spikes.

Or as others have written you can buy 3 boxes at hetzner and scale 300% ;)

Solution?

I did yes... and even without asking them... it was like SOP

In my opinion a very good choice. I run a EX4 Box there and i'm more than satisfied with the service they provide.

Recently i fired up a Support Request around 5am and got a response 6am when their support team picks up work. during the day you usually don't have to wait longer than one hour for a support response.

They have awesome hardware for reasonable prices... i migrated everything i own from ec2 to one EX4 box with 8 cores and 16 gig of ram for less than i payed at EC2...

As someone stated in the comments. Wordpress isn't the solution to all. Mainly it's a blogging system with the possibilities to add some static content. Of course there are many plugins which enrich the wordpress expirience but a blogging system stays a blogging system at heart.

If you speak words like

* Document Management * Workflow Management or * Digital Asset Management

It's most likely you misunderstood Wordpress and it's capabilities from begin.

I personally use Wordpress for many purposes private and for professional work. But if the client's demands are to high i switch instantly to better suiting solutions (which does not mean that wordpress is bad but probably not suitable for all use-cases) which makes the client even happier.

About selling the right thing:

If you go to the customer and tell him "This one-shot solution will be Wordpress and you can do everything with it !" You already oversold it and probably you should speak with your business development guys ;)

One point i agree is the release schedule, which creates quite a lot of work trying to stay up to date with every wordpress instance you have. But i never saw the so called "perfect solution" not in OpenSource and not in "I pay fricken lot money for licences"-Software.

just my two cents

For Brother Printers this one worked quite well for me.

http://www.nrdy.ch/2011/05/07/printer-hacking-101-reset-your...

I reset the original cartridge the second time now and it's printing like the first page.

That's what i tought. Furthermore it feels a bit strange to listen to a 6th grade boy is talking about creating apps. But why, it's just the same as we did some years ago. Just the possibility to speak up has gotten better =)

I simply love and embrace ideas like this.

But why creating something new when there are projects available like OpenWRT or DD-Wrt or Freifunk Firmware wich creates a Mesh-Network that works quite good? The only thing you need is standard Wi-Fi routers and those firmwares.

locking your filesystems helps you sometimes

take /var/log as example. if someone floods your server with traffic and you log every tiny bit (or even worse you have the debug level set to on) the logs will quickly take lots of space. if the space is full no further write access is possible

if it's a seperate partition you can't write more logs... if it's on the same partition you won't be able to log in by ssh as example because your drive is full and you can't spawn the sshd agent ;)

Oh, problably i can make it... we'll see =) but it sounds nice... never thought that there are so many swiss people on hn.

Eew... i'm sorry. i didn't realized this point... you're right sir! this behaviour isn't good...

Whats the point? Sensitive Information like the login page is secured by https (which is a great thing) but why encript the data you don't need to have encripted?

It's (for me) pretty simple. they force the users to use http because the amount of cpu time which is spent for http user is lower than the time for https...

just my two cents

I'm in ;-)

I really wonder how often Students loose their work. Hence nowdays it's so easy to have a good backup running...

Wow that is big news. I hope they don't hollow out the company to just get the people and the ideas behind the product. it's great (but has also some caveats).

Their Nosql idea has too great possibilitys.

And of course as stated by Kris they use lots of opensource in their Product.

so your name will be published out to the web?

you can set the userid as parameter and you get Mark Zuckerbergs Profile here : http://graph.facebook.com/4

Then you can simple count up to infinite to get the other profiles. The API has a Usage limit and blocks after a while

I would apreciate this article too! issueing a root cert at mozilla isn't as easy as it looks... they changed a lot in the process i think

If someone (with a malicious background) owns a Root CA wich is embedded into the Mozilla Cert Storage he could sign SSL Certs sites as he wants to... and clearly the user won't be warned that the connection isn't secure because the Root CA is there.

Basically it's a Secure Connection to a malicious Site. Got it?

yes this sould not be the core of the problem. its important to know _who_ owns the debatable CA.

This gives a great Mitm Vector if i'ts a malicious CA

Uh... thats not good... and our gov-CA is hanging in the cert approval proces since... about a year now. strange world

Yeah thats pretty true but supporting "technologies" wich are truly backdated is a pain.

I personally give IE6 a special CSS that those users see the webpage in a pretty but not graphical enhanced design. so thats a plus for me and if the client agrees this we are fine.
