splattael's dis dat

There is a new version of lighttpd (1.4.8) and eaccelerator (0.9.4-rc1) available.
Both are running without problems up to now (about 5 hours ;).

Remember:

"If you are on a bleeding edge, you will bleed."

:)

I love lighty, daemontools and Debian.
There are 3 step to combine them (assuming you have lighttpd already installed).

Step 1

Install daemontools.
(I am using /service-style.)

Step 2

Create run script.
(lighttpd will be started automagically)

Step 3

Remove lighttpd from init.d


Now, use svstat and svc as usual :)

Thats all folks!

Evidence I:
Riding Rails writes about Rick Bradley's evaluation document which deals with "picking Rails over Java".


If don't know what I'm talking about, read RAW: Introduction.

What?

In this section I'll gather posts from people who are moving from Java to Ruby (especially Ruby on Rails.

Why?

I'll try to convince my boss to use Ruby and drop Java in most cases.

RAW?

RAW ("Rubylution at work") is the code name for my mission.

Rubylution?

This name fits well, I think. Flori (guy who dislike Java too ;) has a blog named "Rubylution".
(Flori, forgive me!)

Evidences!

...old but still funny and true:
How To Write Unmaintainable Code.

This link refers to The Daily WTF Better Off TODO.

...and edit it. It creates tons of copies :(

And, yeah, blogger.com sucks (at least the interface) and is evil (googlized).

Time to setup my own blog. Typo?

Problem

I am hosting Pflegewiki using lighttpd (version 1.4.7) + FastCGI-PHP.
Two days ago I got emails from users which had problems uploading files (503 - Service Not Available). I could reproduce this problem only trying to upload large files (> ~100Kb).

The logfile said:

Workaround

As a temporary workaround I switched network backend from "writev" to "linux-sendfile":

It works and should peform better than "writev", Jan said.

Solution

I was about to submit a bug report so I searched for "writev" here and found a patch (changeset #829) which solves this issue. After patching and switching back to "writev" everything worked fine.

However, I use "linux-sendfile" anyway, now.

Update: blogger.com sucks. I had to delete tons of entries... Sorry.

Some dude, nerd and geek is blogging about ruby and stuff in his Rubylution blog.
I expect interesting and funny posts from you, flori :)

Shame on me, I'm only a mid-rank nerd but a geek ;-)

Auf der Suche nach einem Buch über Ruby habe ich wohl das Richtige gefunden :)


Alles über Ruby

Mein Leben mit Ruby; Ruby - Liebe ohne Ende;
Mein Herrchen und ich. Drei Bde. in e. Band

von Herrchen, Norbert Körzdörfer


Dieses Buch im Terrashop.

Time to upgrade:
A new version 1.4.7 of "lighty" is available here with small additions and some fixes.

BTW, netcraft documents the popularity for lighty (6099 to 16873 servers).

See original announcement of the pre-release.

Es ist fast schon eine kleine Tradition, einmal im Jahr den Feind BVB beim Heimspiel gegen die "echte Borussia" zu bestaunen.

Eines vorweg: Das Spiel war nicht sonderlich gut und das nicht nur weil Gladbach 2:1
verloren hat (und somit für ca. 9500 mitgereisten Anhänger der Abend gelaufen war - mehr hier und hier) war.

Wie auch immer, hier ein paar Schnappschüsse.

Oh, fast vergessen: Leider hat auch der "Meister der Herzen" seine erste Saisonniederlage beim HSV erleiden müssen :(
