Gary’s Shared Google Reader ItemsOver the Christmas break, I set time machine to backup my laptop to a USB drive attached to my Mythbuntu backend server. There are plenty of instructions out there on how to do this. I used this one.
The machine I’m using as the server is old. It doesn’t have onboard USB 2.0 ports, so the [...]
I’m trying to do some simple load testing. I have a couple of web servers being “load balanced” with Round Robin DNS. That part is simple and is working fine.
