Take the time to read {again} how Stephan has built a self hosted CDN using OpenSource programming and tools. He literally shares the code. From what I processed, this method can scale up quite easily. You can build a super large CDN yourself using similar modus operandi. No corporate CDN, but the insight, resilience and technical expertise of a great programmer, with the Passion and Curiosity of someone visionary. All powered by OpenSource BSD IPv6 jails DNS caching and enthusiasm Thank you Stefano #CDN #networking #cache #IPv6 #IPv4 #programming #technology #BSD #freeBSD #jails #DNS #Wireshark https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/08/26/building-a-self-hosted-cdn-for-bsd-cafe-media/

@Dendrobatus_Azureus@mastodon.bsd.cafe The image is a screenshot of a text editor displaying code. The code appears to be a configuration file, likely related to network settings. It includes sections for defining backends and access control lists (ACLs). Here's the verbatim text content from the screenshot: "vcl 4.1; import std; Backend - itnotes.dragas.net backend itnotes.dragas.net { .host = "itnotesip"; .port = "itnotesport"; } Backend - media.bsd.cafe backend media.bsd.cafe { .host = "minioWGip"; .port = "minioport"; } ACL - IPs allowed to purge - itnotes.dragas.net acl purge_itnotes.dragas.net { "a.b.c.d"; } ACL - IPs allowed to purge - media.bsd.cafe acl purge_media.bsd.cafe { "e.f.g.h"; }" The screenshot shows a mobile phone interface with a status bar at the top displaying time (08:47), battery indicator, and network signal strength. A bottom navigation bar is visible with icons for "Home", "Search", and a number "29" in a badge. The URL "notes.dragas.net" is displayed in the lower portion of the interface.

@Dendrobatus_Azureus@mastodon.bsd.cafe I remember looking at this in December when you posted it, and thinking, wow, that's cool. I just read it again (maybe thoroughly for the first time). I understand everything that's being done at the first order approximation. But wow, I'm so far away from having a use case that really needs me to follow those steps. I imagine very few people land in the category that they could follow and reproduce that, care enough to avoid cloudflare, have a use case and enough time.
