CDNs can feel obscure and intimidating when you're just trying to get your site or app online.

@jedisct1 can help. In this blog, he explains how a works, how differs, and how to set up simple distributed caches and compute services.

Fastly uses the H2O reverse proxy for fast and secure TLS termination over QUIC, HTTP/3, HTTP/2, and 1.1.

The project site compares its benchmarks only to Nginx. I'd love to see a more recent comparison that includes ATS (Apache Traffic Server), HAProxy, and Varnish/Hitch as fellow reverse proxies for TLS termination.

I got running in with . The experience is what you'd expect from an ORM—pretty smooth and nice. I like this. I'll have to use this with a web app next.

It also works great with the built-in database tools in RustRover.

@khalidabuhakmeh nice set of posts showing what can do!

Any plans to help RustRover beginners (or for my case IntelliJ-IDEA + Rust plugin) to configure the env for specific projects?

It worked fine for me when working on a Compute@Edge project, but the IDE struggled when I tried to work on the open source project from GitHub: no auto complete, nor other IDE features.
Maybe its structure is too complex for RustRover?
Have you ever tried the IDE on it? Any advice?

eighthave, to debian

has been moving more towards the deb.debian.org mirror which is provided by a single CDN company, . It works well, but also feeds an enormous amount of to a single company, and it can be used to track computers and maybe even people. And the privacy policy in effect is unclear. Fastly says the policy of the "subscriber" applies, but the privacy policy for deb.debian.org is not listed anywhere I could find. Anyone have any insight here?

Trying to debug why image pulls from GitHub Container Repository are slow as molasses from our Nordic servers over IPv6.

Looks like the blobs are being pulled from 2606:50c0:8000::/48 announced by Fastly, and the best path is:

6939 (Hurricane Electric, US)
7473 (Singtel, Singapore)
8966 (Etisalat, United Arab Emirates)
21859 (Zenlayer, US)
54113 (Fastly, US)

I’d imagine NOC to be best equipped to look into this but I'm about 99% certain I would get told off for writing them rather than @github support, so not expecting this to get resolved any time soon

We were never comfortable being on Cloudflare, but it was a necessary evil in response to a number of DDOS attacks.

Since then, we’ve worked with the fine people at to migrate to their service. We’ve been with them for months now.

@support @jorijn Nice writeup!!

I'm very (erm ... vary LOL) interested in the inclusion of “Cookie" in your Vary header:
vary: Accept, Accept-Language, Cookie

This means each cached object at is going to be indexed on path+hostHeader+AcceptHeader+AcceptLanguageHeader+CookieHeader. Doesn't that massively reduce your cache hit ratio (and increase your cached objects), because the Cookie header can possibly have so many variations inside it?

What we do instead (non-Mastodon) is...

I got a newsletter from that I didn't remember subscribing to, possibly as a result of them being attached to a talk. (The first one appeared in my mailbox on October 26, so even I might remember something that recent.)

When I clicked the Unsubscribe link in the mail, the web page said "Fill out the form and we'll send you a link to edit your preferences."

So I went back to my email and reported them as and blocked them.

"Don't be that guy," but for corporations.
