Have you ever read Peter G. Neumann's final report on the DARPA CHATS research program ?

If you are in the business of building "trustworthy systems", you should have, otherwise do it now.

Peter's thinking was a huge influence on @vinyl_cache, both in terms of architecture and project goals, so "Thanks Peter!":

👩🏻‍💻 my so-called sudo life - day 497: Mastodon stampede edition 🐘​

Dear Fedi friends,

You may remember how last year I was dealing with self-DDoS attacks every time I shared a link to my Wordpress or Ghost sites. Well, I solved the issue with Ghost (#VinylCache is brilliant) but I never found a solution for my Wordpress site... not even with #BunnyCDN. I guess I wasn't tweaking the right settings.

This is a pity because TBH the ActivityPub for Wordpress plugin is SO COOL and works flawlessly. I had to move my blog posts to Ghost and keep Wordpress as a static portfolio site. That being said, I never dared share links to my Wordpress site anymore because I would get about 4000 requests within 60 seconds and everything would freeze.

I just looked into #BunnyCDN's settings again and tried to tweak them. So please bear with me for an experiment, sharing an old blog post and seeing what happens.

Wish me luck!

@borup https://gitlab.com/uplex/varnish/libvmod-blobdigest/-/blob/master/src/vmod_blobdigest.vcc?ref_type=heads has hmac sha512 and https://gitlab.com/uplex/varnish/libvmod-crypto/-/blob/master/src/vmod_crypto.rst?ref_type=heads has the rsa verifier.

both got vinylized and should work with #vinylcache. if not, please share the issue you are experiencing.

note that both only do the crypto part on blobs. to convert to/from encodings like base64 or hex, we have the bundled blob vmod.

I agree.

Until it croaked, we had a BeagleBoneBlack in the CI cluster of #VinylCache (The FOSS project formerly known as Varnish Cache)

We show a low-maintenance, “configure and forget” solution for using TLS for client- and backend traffic with Vinyl Cache and haproxy.

My very rough test shows that Rust hyper can achieve ~119k requests per second, but vinyl cache formerly known as Varnish with 1s cache on front of a same URL can reach 96k requests per second.

WikiApiary is back online after having been down and overloaded for a long time.

Bawolff brought it back and did a ton of full stack performance work to optimise the whole system. Adding HTTP caching, tuning InnoDB, and more!

Hmmm,

My impression was that #Varnish Software would be based off on the #VinylCache upstream.

But now it seems like they have effectively created a new "varnish" repository where they intend to follow upstream, with their own patches *and* features vinyl doesn't want?

I already see changed not upstreamed, and they seem to be pushing for existing varnish packages to point to the "new" upstream?

@kly i agree, in particular about the people. i like them and they do good work.

but as much as i try to avoid becoming an arrogant asshole, i would go one step further: what we do in the open, keeping feature parity in many aspects and sometimes exceeding the closed source fork in features and/or performance, even helps those who decide to use the closed fork: only because the alternative exists ready to be fired up is the oracle-ification potential rather limited.

The identity is now live on the newly revamped Vinyl Cache website: https://vinyl-cache.org

It’s also released under a Creative Commons license to guarantee that the open source project can use it freely.

Oh and finally: they actually had a new software release today, have a look below!

Thanks a lot to @slink especially as well as the rest of the @vinyl_cache team for your trust! It has been a pleasure to work on this, can’t wait to see where it’s going :)

It isn’t just the logo :)

Meet the Vinyl Ghost, a new mascot for the project.

A mystic but friendly creature who nests on web servers. Like hermit crabs, it caches itself underneath a sheet of vinyl. Yet, it’s always out there to lend a hand delivering webpages.

I drew the mascot in a few different poses and expressions, with possibilities to create more in the future!

And of course, visual identity classics: colour palette, typeface selection.

Happy to share a project I have been working on: a new visual identity for Vinyl Cache!

Installed in front of a web server, it makes websites faster to load.

The new logo stems from a simple concept: Vinyl Cache protects the server just like vinyl film protects what it’s applied on.

The symbol combines a solid block representing the website and a translucent flexible layer as the cache. Together, they form a V monogram, along with a customised wordmark.

This is how leading by example in #opensource looks like! 💪 if you are really serious about your #foss principles, this is what you do. 🧡

Congratulations, @slink! Thank you for being such an inspiration in the open source scene and beyond! Amazing step! I hope others will follow this direction. 🥳👏
