Have you done any reading on Carousel? Something about ads being faster - though some are saying that it reduces choice...

Nope, and a quick search I cannot even turn up what you are referring to.

Nothing scarier than things that fix themselves 😞

Seriously upset about this. I will be rebooting the machine a few times today trying to make it do it again.

... about the performance and efficiency gains one can expect from switching to nginx.

Most performance gains from nGinx are from developments in the last few months or relate only to certain workloads. For average users Apache is easier to use, far more mature, often the more performant for very small workloads, far more broadly compatible and known. Given those factors, people who need nGinx (like us, we are using it right now) tend to be trained admins and know when and why to deploy it and those that just need basic reliability and simplicity will get Apache by default.

Even today where Apache is not the big winner it used to be, it seems like it is still a sensible default.

Like this...

cat > observium.conf <<'_EOF' <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /opt/observium/html/ ServerName observium.domain.com CustomLog /opt/observium/logs/access_log combined ErrorLog /opt/observium/logs/error_log <Directory "/opt/observium/html/"> AllowOverride All Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost> _EOF

It looks like it is trying to connect but it gives me two choices for a SSL cert when I do... then it give me an error. I will have to look into a bit more when I have time.

@scottalanmiller said:

Often with those choices you get PostgreSQL too, which would be my preference nine times out of ten.

You can go straight to hell. That's right, an old rivalry that I can no longer justify.

@JaredBusch Nice! was not aware of that, so CentOs already switched to MariaDB? 🙂

Yes. RHEL = CentOS.

This is the HTTPS plugin.

wtf3

The real issue is that likely very few people have seen that unit to know what the settings look like.

Yeah, I know. The management UI is about what you'd expect from a consumer-grade device. It's pretty and functional, but very basic as to what it can do.

Surprisingly I have not seen anyone talking about Storm previously. It appears to be primarily a replacement for MapReduce and can be used on top of Hadoop which is pretty awesome.

And found out that it's pronounced Engine X.

Lol. Yup.
