		<title>Daily Digest for 2010-03-11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


			   
		   

Moved some small but important backups to Amazon&#8217;s #S3. Better to have the most important things off-shore.




			   
		   

Just ordered parts for my #SheevaPlug from US to solder it an #ESATA port (2€ parts cost per port).

		<title>Erfahrungen mit Netcup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following blog post is about a German hosting provider, and written in German.

Netcup vermietet keine virtuellen Server, sondern &#8220;logische Serverpartitionen&#8220;. Eine an sich völlig stabile und eprobte Technik aus der Zeit der Mainframes, an der es bis auf Kleinigkeiten nichts auszusetzen gibt. Wenn man denn soetwas wollte.
Der Unterschied zeigt sich, sobald man das System [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gentoo on a linux-vserver partition with wrong initstyle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Recently I&#8217;ve rented a server partition from a German provider which turned out to be a linux-vserver partition. About five or six years ago I have experimented with linux-vserver myself, still have headaches when it comes to its security implications&#8230;
Unfortunately the provider has not offered any Gentoo images. Despite that and by the means of [...]]]></description>

		<title>distributed key/value stores shootout (part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a project of mine I have been looking today on key/value stores. Redis, Tokyo Cabinet and Memcache are the popular ones, but I have been interested in benchmarking the distributed species of its kind (&#8220;DKVS&#8221;). Those are needed in high scalable systems as replacement for traditional databases, which happen not to scale well.
These are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Redis benchmarks on Amazon EC2 and Rackspace Cloudservers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Amazon and Rackspace both provide virtualized servers billed per hour. That makes deploying scalable applications, especially with distributed key/value stores, very handy: You could launch new servers just as load, customer count or requests increase.
Today I&#8217;ve run the Redis benchmark on the SheevaPlug, Amazon EC2 and Rackspace Cloudservers to see where a small Redis database [...]]]></description>

		<title>new ebuild for Nginx</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Unlike Apache httpd server Nginx has no ebuilds which let you select which modules you want to have installed with it. Yet.
On last Saturday I have written an eclass to simplify maintaining Nginx ebuilds and added a new Portage variable NGINX_MODULES to USE_EXPAND. In other words, from that on you can select Nginx modules like [...]]]></description>

		<title>OSSDL Gentoo overlay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The nice thing about Gentoo is that you can extend its port-like &#8220;portage&#8221; system by third-party trees. They are called &#8216;overlays&#8216; to the official main tree. I have started mine about four years ago after having used Gentoo for more than three years, then. A lot has changed, but something is still missing &#8211; and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pointers to software for writing webapplications in C/C++/Boost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As you might have noticed I switched to C/C++ and Boost (and my own preprocessor) for writing high-performance webapplications. In most cases I write them as module to Nginx.
These resources have been very helpful for me in the beginning: 
[1] http://www.evanmiller.org/nginx-modules-guide.html
[2] http://github.com/ngerakines/erlang_nginx
Non-blocking programming techniques &#8211; needed in Nginx&#8216; architecture &#8211; might not be intuitive at [...]]]></description>

		<title>installing Windows 7 on the Sony Vaio VGN-P series</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
All models of the Sony Vaio VGN-P series are very similar. Only the make of the WWAN and on some that of Wifi differ, the Atom model might not be the same as well as the storage device. But these are just minor differences, therefore installing Windows 7 (or any other OS) is pretty much [...]]]></description>
