Yeah. SFC is making my website much slower than optimal. Now, it doesn’t even work at all any more. I think I will setup an OpenID server at some point, connect WordPress to it and toss facebook here.
After more than half a year of experimentation, all components of my future network topology look fairly stable. The only thing holding my back from final migration is a sudden crash of backup drive. Without that thing, it’s too risky for now, so I have to wait a couple of days until the replacement is there. I was lucky to find a relatively moderate priced one these days. Instead of a modem I’m now using a hacked Telekom Speedport W701V – I’ve turned it into a “Fritz!box” to be exact, by installing a modified firmware. Read the rest of this entry »
Answer, US version:
18 quintillion 446 quadrillion 744 trillions 73 billions 709 millions 551 thousands 616. It’s the number of IPv6 addresses my provider has just dropped in front of my feet. I think I can launch an SSL secured website for every individual atom in the universe now. Or, it’s the number of now possible IPv4 addresses squared.
This does not necessarily mean that I like IPv6. Far from it! I’m expecting the transition to be very painful. A subtle but broad security crisis driven by the introduction of a great number of poorly understood conceptions and new devices might lead to severe acceptance problems of IPv6 or even the Internet as a whole. And people will still insist on IPv4 addresses anyway, because that ensures broader coverage. The IPv4 crisis will not be solved by IPv6, at least not in the near future.
It has indeed turned out that SFC is better as it seemed that day. Maybe Facebook needed their time to update all of their resources, furthermore I’ve observed even more Problems on the FB website at the same time.
Another really funny tool is Live!Zilla. It is sort of chat system for website operators. Apart from the PHP/mySQL based server component, a local client has to be installed on the operators PC. Unfortunately there is only a Windows implementation available. Macs and Linux are not covered.
Having this installed as a website owner, your site visitors can see whether you’re online or not, and if so, initiate a chat conversation. The other direction is possible as well. In the aforementioned Windows Client, you get a list of current visitors of your web site, and you get detailed information which pages they request, and you can actively invite them to chat with you. I’ve seen some corporations do that already. Don’t remember, was it Microsoft? Or Dell? Never mind, that scale at least.
I’d not be surprised, if there are people who have privacy concerns here.
