Run your main site on a port other than 80/443. Have another site listen to port 80 with a kind message to please go bugger off. Tell your visitors to go to the site with the other port. Make use of the robots.txt file so that site won't get indexed.
It's not overboard. And even with a hosting provider you're still dependent on hardware problems. What you can do to realise what you want is:
- buy 2 cheap servers with lots of RAM - set them up as XEN platforms - create 2 virtuals for the loadbalancers - setup LVS (heartbeat + ldirectord) on each virtual - create 4 webserver virtuals, 2 on each xen host - configure your loadbalancers to distribute load over all webserver virtuals
And you're done. Oh, make sure to disable tcp_checksum_offloading on your webservers, else LVS won't work that well (read: not at all).
I installed the Moonlight plugin, restarted FF and then it (the plugin) asked me if i wanted to download codecs. As soon as i clicked on Accept firefox crashed. This on Ubuntu 8.10 x86
And I'm using it to 'infect' their pc's with Linux. It'll stop all future virii as well as creating a wave of happiness. Dark purposes, it's all how you look at it. Sure they'll hate me for a while, but then they'll love me and i'll reveal my identity and be a hero!
I had no (IT-related) degree when i started working in a pc shop. Then after working there for some time i moved to a junior admin job, learned alot there and got some minor degrees (CCNA, some MCP's). Now i got a job where i'm a sysadmin for several companies and studying for extra certifications (NCLE passed, now doing RHCE) to get a bigger salary and have a better base for when i move to my next job. And if i spent some more time studying IT-related stuff instead of gaming i would have been there a lot sooner.
Your post reminds me of the web-based Novell exam i did recently. Specifically when i opened an xterm and wanted to delete the word on the left side of the cursor. Imagine my surprise when Firefox asked me if i really wanted to close the entire browser and thereby finishing my exam.
That's really bad, having to vote for the lesser of two evils (i think this is the expression, sorry if i'm wrong). It's also scary to think anyone running for president and almost winning could do a worse job than Bush.
Well, i really hope you now have a competent president with Obama.
In the newspapers here (in Holland) i read a lot of comments from US citizens who are "glad 8 years of Bush are over". I find this funny and interesting because there's a good chance that some of these commenters played a part in the re-election of Bush. It just takes them another 4 years to see how bad things were in the first 4 years?
Even here in Holland the newspapers are full with election 'news'. Quoting poll after poll with meaningless numbers because we all know what can happen despite a candidate having a solid lead. Most of the so-called important news shows are making a special program tonight which starts at (local time) midnight and ends tomorrow morning 9am. A nine hour news report about things that hardly concerns us.
Is it this in other countries as well? I'm really curious.
Why have 16 terminal servers (sorry, couldn't think of anything else) running when no more than 10-20 users are on it after working hours? Then in the morning, power them back on again using WakeOnLan.
And that backup server with a whole lot of disks? Why not only have it running during the night when stuff is being backed up?
That's why i said to also encrypt your swap. But i missed the/tmp partition. Files can't just 'leak' to another partition if you configure your applications correctly.

Or _any_ good game for Wii for that matter! The only ones i like are Rayman raving rabbits.

Yes it will. Only when they (lvs + webservers) are on the same physical xen host.

Doesn't it bother anyone that the questions and answers are written in the same font/style?

Am i really the only one who thought of porn when reading this? I hope not.

Period. Best doomsday device ... if you're a webmaster who's website contains a page that's featured on /.
What's also funny is that my router gives me better throughput with WPA/AES than WEP.
Yeah, speaking of that, could you please stick to WEP? It takes me ages to complete the download if you constantly switch.
I'll try to remember this one when my daughter one day will ask me, thanks!
Well .... you _were_ pretty fast to stop reading the article ;)
But apart from that, what's wrong with 7zip?

Put sensitive data on a seperate partition and encrypt that, together with your swap drive. Problem solved. Leave everything else unencrypted.
Ever tried FreeNX?
