Too Many Baubles: How Plugin Bloat Weighs Down Your Tree

Welcome to Day 22 of the MyWebHost Advent Calendar! 🎄 We are in the final countdown. The big day is almost here. We have built the workshop, tuned the engine, and filled the shelves with content, but there is one final trap that catches almost every website owner. It is the temptation of the "Install Now" button. Imagine your Christmas Tree. You put on a few lights. It looks lovely. Then you add some baubles. Very nice. Then you add tinsel. Then candy canes. Then a toy train. Then a […]

[Fediverse CDN]

Once you have Fediverse Caching servers — you have the basis to create a Fediverse content-distribution-network (CDN).

A (Fediverse-native) Fediverse content-distribution-network (CDN) could bring a new level of robustness and scalability to the Fediverse — while still maintaining the properties of decentralization, federation, and localization.

One way to increase the robustness of the Fediverse is — to introduce the concept of a Fediverse Caching server.

It (the Fediverse Cachine server) caches stuff from the Fediverse rather than the regular Fediverse servers (that house local users and local content).

One thing that crashes Fediverse servers (maybe the most) is — caching.

And, in particular, their storage drivers filling up (due to caching), which crashes the server.

Fediverse servers cache profiles, posts, images, and other servers on the Fediverse.

Global Delivery: Do You Need a CDN for Christmas?

Welcome to Day 11 of the MyWebHost Advent Calendar! 🌍 We are flying towards the end of Week 2: Speed. So far, we have upgraded your engine (NVMe), lightened your load (Image Optimisation), and pre-wrapped your gifts (Caching). But today, we face a problem of Distance. Imagine Santa’s Workshop is located in London. A child in Manchester asks for a gift. The sleigh flies up the M6, and the child gets the gift in 20 milliseconds. It feels instant. Now, imagine a child in Sydney, […]

Urheberrecht: EuGH könnte deutsche Rechtsprechung zu Hyperlinks umdrehen

Laut BGH-Rechtsprechung sind simple Hyperlinks auf Server Dritter keine "öffentliche Zugänglichmachung" der verlinkten Datei. Das könnte sich ändern.

Cloudflare vs. KI-Bots: "Die Menschheit braucht vom Menschen gemachte Inhalte"
