Site Update

March 23, 2011

Dear all,

you might recently have noticed occasional hiccups of the mloss.org server. However, since last friday we dropped our unstable apache setup here and switched to a load-balanced solution utilizing pound and fapws3. And it really is much faster now. Hammering tests showed that I can continuously stream the mloss.org frontpage with what the network speed is (more than 10MB/s).

I took the opportunity to also fix a few minor bugs on mloss.org - but as always the source code is available.
