ashitlerferad··on Some .io nameservers are returning wrong results again
I Contacted Cloudflare and the response was:

"Unfortunately this stops DNS traffic before it gets to Cloudflare so it is not a problem we can solve for you as much as we would love to. Our recommendation right now would be to contact your domain registrar to understand more about this problem."

Contacted the registrar (iwantmyname.com) and their response:

"You're using external CloudFlare hosting, so our DNS management isn't being used. We don't have any access to the hosting account or the ability to address issues there. It does appear there's some issue with propagation."

ashitlerferad··on Understanding PHP memory_limit
Wth mpm_event (which is the better choice) php is still not multi-threaded. As in this case the limit was per script as per the way php is designed to work.

Anyone still using prefork/mod_php ...well that's cute.

ashitlerferad··on Firefox marketshare revisited
Since my 10AM EST blog post comment has not been approved . I'll paste it here:

ashitlerferad··on 87% of all Smartphones are powered by Linux. Really?
Also from that WiKi: "Android's kernel is based on one of the Linux kernel's long-term support (LTS) branches. Since April 2014, Android devices mainly use versions 3.4, 3.10 or 3.18 of the Linux kernel. The specific kernel version depends on the actual Android device and its hardware platform; Android has used various kernel versions since the version 2.6.25 that was used in Android 1.0."

ashitlerferad··on What are the problems faced by people who are starting to contribute to OSS
Seems very specific to git/github, which are popular here on HN but there is a great deal more variety out there.

I'd suggest something that doesn't deal in specific technologies but more general principles.

ashitlerferad··on While open source is free as in beer, it’s also free as in baby (2014)
The Debian snapshot service keeps binary packages too:

http://snapshot.debian.org/

The Ubuntu Launchpad system has something similar.

Fedora's build servers keep all packages for eternity IIRC.
