Fixed an issue on my website when downloading a gzip tarball (software or other distributions) my webservers were re-compressing and causing data-loss which would cause pgp signatures and checksums to fail. Further investigating the source of the issue since it only appears when using gzip (double gzip). I don't believe this is an issue with vnlib (or zlib), but instead a proxy/lb issue.

Wanna hear something funny. Apparently I didn't find the leak. The engine bay has a nice thin coat of diesel on it now :) View quoted note →

Time to go make a pizza :)

When I get more cash or it becomes required, I think i've found the ingredients required to make a solid HA storage solution. I've found this model from other (very expensive) services to be very reliable and cost effective in terms of hardware cost, space, and power.
