nginx cache in tmpfs

· linux, software, www

Probably won’t change a lot to my performance, but I’ve mounted the nginx reverse proxy cache in a tmpfs mount.

none on /var/cache/nginx/blog type tmpfs (rw,size=512m)
none  512M   47M  466M   4% /var/cache/nginx/blog

Let’s see what performance boosts this will give. :P

Mac OS X + SSD tweaks

· apple, hardware, software

Came across a pretty cool howto to tweak your SSD on a Mac. Only thing I noticed is setting the hibernate mode to 0 made my mac randomly wake up a few seconds after it went to sleep (and happened most often when closing the lid, less often when clicking the sleep button; randomly closing apps seemed to sometimes fix this problem; usually closing Skype and VLC solved this…) Set it the hibernate mode 7 now (which was the default I think)

Big grats to One, with its one year uptime. ;) And been running for over 1500 days ! Old server is getting old. :(

(The 2nd one from the top ;), resting on that Xserve)

This is an old dual P3 I got off eBay years ago. This blog is running on that server. It's running Gentoo as OS.

Next up is Four and about an hour after that Two! Geekyness!
