OpenID links from the "5% a week" guy

The Case for OpenID
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I was also the one who made the "5% a week growth" claim (at the Internet Identity Workshop this week) and unfortunately it was not clearly quoted. "5% a week" describes the growth we are seeing in new relying parties (aka sites-that-support-OpenID). Yes, its impossible for this growth to keep up over time but its still a valid data point. Graph is forthcoming.
I'm shamelessly linking to my own blog here but I think there are a few answers to the questions people are posting on this thread:
We're actually working on this right now with an instance of Cacti. We're in the midst of moving into a new data center and were going to wait to update our bandwidth information until after we're on the new switches, etc.
www.kernel.org is comprised of two insanely beefy boxes (see www.kernel.org for the specs). master.k.o is just a 2U 3Ware box where things are built and shoved at the front-end "beefy boxes".
master.k.o should be connected via I2 and www.kernel.org should not (as far as I know they don't have a path to Internet2 out of the ISC facilities).
master.kernel.org was down for over 12 hours while it was moved and nobody noticed because the front-ends were up and running (so nobody had to care). As for the Mozilla cluster, there is an identical one in California so even if the OSL facility goes down, life goes on.
I drove slow and steady the whole way to the co-location facility. The machine didn't even budge (there is enough disk in there that its so heavy it can't move).
Head-lines crack me up... it _sounds_ like the whole of kernel.org moved over to the OSL.
Yes, this is the machine that acts as the "master" in terms of it replicates out to zeus1 and zeus2. The reason it was moved was that hera was hosted behind a T1 and the OSL offered to provide backup services. Its just a 2U box and its not the entire kernel.org... however, its a pretty important piece.
Actually, the OSL is not a running joke around OSU. We're a fantastic team that is helping moving open source forward at the University and in the world.
Talk with our students, talk with all of our customers, talk with Mozilla, Gentoo, Debian, KernelTrap and ask them how much we suck. Lemme know how that goes for you.
The running joke is anonymous cowards that don't have the backbone to stick behind what they say.
Killed Maintain? Actually we've had several internal releases in the last few weeks. We've had several bug fixes in the last several months as well.
The Bouncer is a pretty fantastic tool that we developed here completely in house. Mozilla likes its to the tune of 50 million downloads. There are several other projects that we participate in as members, doing what our defined role is for OSU; helping OSU participate better in open source projects.
Sorry you're seeing slow download speeds. I actually think its a product of our success and part of our effort not to *just* focus on mirroring.
As for alienating a large portion of campus, I have no idea how you got that idea. Showboating and self-important ranting? What exactly does open source showboating look like?
I would say we help the academic environment by providing great opportunities for students.
The OSL has actually brought in quite a bit of money to the University.
rsync is out of the question; it simply doesn't scale for more than a few clients (rsync of the portage tree for the gentoo mirror here on ftp.oregonstate.edu abuses that machine).
ftp is nice because we can limit the number of connections but that isn't fine-grained enough; if i have 150 connections available, I might have 150 dial-up users or 150 broadband users.
http will let me rate limit but it doesn't have the limited connection handling that ftp does.
I would say provide ftp & http and get your stuff hosted on a few well-connected mirrors if its fairly busy.
How are Corporations any different than religion of the past? Think about it... corps decided what you see, who you like... they decide what is cool, objectionable, etc. The only difference is that they are more palattable to a larger audience. 29 million AOL users can't be wrong.... (*sarcasm*)
Seems pretty reasonable, but think about it this way. How long after a McDonald's went into the USSR did the communist regime crumble? To me, Corporate America is like the fifth-column of WWII... infiltrating countries to their core, making the people believe they should _want_ to be like Americans. Why would the US want to invade countries when they can have McDonald's take care of it for them?!:-)

I'm shamelessly linking to my own blog here but I think there are a few answers to the questions people are posting on this thread:
* How do I choose a third-party OpenID provider?
* Converting your existing site to OpenID
* How do I use my own domain as my OpenID?
* OpenID and Phishing
Cortana: Check out this link:
u rl-as-an-openid
e -openid-server
http://www.openidenabled.com/openid/use-your-own-
It allows you to use LiveJournal, the PIP or MyOpenID and your own domain.
If you want to run your own library, there is a PHP server out there:

LOL. "Classic kveton" huh?
Do you participate in Maintain? I didn't think so. The users of Maintain do and all of them have the same access to the SVN repository as the rest do.
The OSL wrote the whole thing. Start to finish. v2.0 will be sometime in the next week or two.
I'm really sorry you're so frustrated with us. I bet 10 minutes with our staff and seeing what we have really accomplished would change your mind.

Seems like you could extort a great deal out of the US Patent Office if you owned the patent on patents.
... not likely but its a friggin' joke ... gimme a break.
Yeah, yeah

Not only that, the source is quoted as the "Weekly World News"

Check out netcraft on sex.com:
The site www.sex.com is running Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.2.10 PHP/4.0.4pl1 mod_perl/1.25 on MacOSX.
Sure, they could have forged the headers, but why?
