Must play with this HTTP server/load-balancer/mail proxy/bundle of awe­some some­time soon. Looks like a pretty awe­some option for VPS envi­ron­ments and other places where there isn’t heaps of spare resources going around! My cupboard-bound SSH oasis and occa­sional web­server is, of course, a likely can­di­date… but I’m a tad con­cerned I’ll screw myself over with PHP. Not because it par­tic­u­larly gets used for that (there’s like… a few wikis and a hand­ful of lines of PHP code eas­ily replaced by some­thing else that get semi-regular atten­tion) but mostly for the “just in case” I wanna test run some­thing. And yeah, I know, that’s what vir­tu­alised stuff should be for… but I still haven’t quite caught up to that. I’ve got an Ubuntu thing run­ning in a vir­tual PC instance on the com­puter I use most of the time, but it just doesn’t cut it for actu­ally try­ing to test some­thing out with, you know, other users and real Inter­net con­nec­tiv­ity. In other news, can-we-have-IPv6-moar-plx? Just because it’s absurd to have to pay more to run real SSL on ded­i­cated IPs when there is SO MUCH SPACE just wait­ing for us to broaden our hori­zons and start to fill it. I’m not heaps fussed if pre-Windows XP users can’t use it, actu­ally, because they’ve likely got big­ger secu­rity prob­lems on their hands from their network-connected 10-year-old OS than any reg­u­lar web inter­ac­tion is likely to give them, prop­erly secured or not — that is, even if their web traf­fic is secured, their desk­top is prob­a­bly a bot­net zom­bie with key­log­gers and tro­jans abounding.
