You do get 16GB in the $20 plan which is enough for me. Understand these are 15k SAS drives, so it's expensive storage but crazy fast performance. Well, you don't have a dedicated spindle, so the IOPS isn't really impressive, but it is good enough for the most part. You can also buy extra storage a la carte. The cpu is a 4 core Xeon. I've never been able to utilize all of the available CPU. Clearly you're not trying hard enough ;-) Linode has a very good control panel, iphone app, and DNS manager tools. Forum is there and friendly, but not very active. I'm fond of the DNS manager - way better than most I've seen. They also have an IRC channel on OFTC, which *is* quite active and usually has staff in it. I highly recommend Linode Seconded. I've been with them for at least two years now, can only recall 3 signifigant instances of downtime. -Ryan ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
[vox-tech] MHT mime type
Hi, Does anybody has experience with multipart html files? *.mht or *.mhtl I have found some info that claims that one can modify the mime.types file to include a new mime type to serve the mht file correctly instead of raw text. However, the info is confusing, some suggest to use message/rfc822 mht others application/vnd.sealed.mht and also application/octet-stream Any suggestions, please.

This isn't really specific to any kind of data.
It just means a stream of octets (8-bit bytes).
Wikipedia sez:
The Internet media type for an arbitrary byte stream is
application/octet-stream. Other media types are defined for byte
streams in well-known formats.
When accepting file uploads from browsers, I've coded up my
form-accepting code to see this as one of the 'useless catch-alls'
that a browser might report. In other words, when someone goes
to upload an MS Word DOC file, I _might_ get one of a vast
variety of MIME types that seem to mean MS Word DOC.[*] But if I get
application/octet-stream, I end up using a fileinfo library to
try and determine what, exactly, the data actually was.
[*] So far, I've seen:
application/msword, application/x-msword-doc, application/x-msword,
{OCTAL 12}- application/msword, x-type/x-doc, application/vnd.ms-word,
application/vnd.msword, application/vnd.ms-office,
application/mswordapplication
Also, the 'catch-alls' I've discovered I need to use, so far include:
application/octet-stream, application/download, application/x-ole-storage,
application/x-download
And finally, iTunes seems to screw up some people's browsers, causing it
to report the MIME type of anything they try to upload as being some
iTunes LP file. Nergh!

The drive case was the cheapest part by far but esata/usb isn't so common. I'm not sure if the board in between would still be an issue. If I happen to come upon a good deal on such a case I might try it. Anyone have an external eSata they could try to get SMART data on? All libata drivers support SMART -- which is what one would expect, given that libata leverages the kernel's SCSI layers. https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_Feature_Table (The particular SATA interface, internal vs. eSATA, is not an issue.) While technically true, often eSATA is combined with a multidisk chassis and has a lame/broken chip that multiplexes a single SATA connection to multiple drives. Said lame/broken chip often hides the SMART data. I find is similarly frustrating when the RAID controller does the same thing. It's really really annoying to have to pull a failed drive to get it's model and serial number so you can RMA it. It's also worth mentioning while SMART is cool, I like the idea, and it sounds really useful. The studies that I've seen show SMART is useless for predicting failures. Sure you can get various interesting metrics but there's little relationship between any of the numbers it gives you and losing your entire disk in the near future. The largest of said studies was the Google paper which covered an impressive number of disks across all major brands. ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
