LET'S JUST USE THE WORLD'S BEST CDN "CLOUDFLARE"!
Responsive! Uptimes!
o wait
Using Cloudflare is just one step above using the subdomain cdn.yoursite.com-- which is hosted on the same network/connect (if not the same server) as yoursite.com

But with subdomain.yoursite.com, you can double the number of simultaneous connections the client's browser can open.
Of course, it does mean you also have total control over the subdomain as well, instead of some third party. So there is that.

@PJH It's also an easy way to have static content served by a more light-weight webserver than dynamic content. But calling it a CDN is a stretch.

@PleegWat said in Content Delaying Networks:

It's content. It's delivered. Over a network.
Clearly it'd be FTC/ASA compliant...

@PJH but is not a network itself

When I first read the title, I was sure you were going to rant about a new neural network "architecture". I was curious because the name didn't make any sense whatsoever in that context, so it had very high chances to be the buzzword all the ML-people would speak about in a few weeks.
I'm both a bit disappointed and somewhat relieved.

That sounds too much like what I'm working on. Stop scaring me like that!

@levicki said in Content Delaying Networks:
How do you know? Did you check cdn.whatever.com DNS records to see whether they are actually having different servers for different regions or not? Did you check whether cdn A record is pointing to same host even?
Also, why not have a separate cdn server? nginx is pretty good for that especially for static stuff. How exactly would you want it to be named? What if they are planning to migrate their server to real CDN in the future as the demand grows and naming it cdn is just a preparation?Because it's easier to assume buzzword-cumming bosses and incompetent techies. (due to that being the case 99.9999999999999999999999999999% of the time).

So there is only 0.000000000000000000007 person on the planet who is not a buzzword-cumming boss or incompetent techie? That seems ... unlikely.

You know, that might be somewhat pleasurable. I gotta try it sometime...

As long as you admit yourself in those 99.9999999999999999999999999999% incompetent techies, because now I am absolutely sure you are not any kind of a boss and if you admit you are incompetent then you can't know the right answer to what I asked anyway so you are just venting hot air.
The sort of boss you are describing doesn't have the ability or self-awareness to recognize their own fault. So by saying I admit to being incompetent means I cannot be one of those people, and this I am not incompetent.
Also, I don't set up cdns.

@Lorne-Kates you definitely would be in no place to comment filmmaking technique.
-
@Gąska How do you know? Have you seen any of his home movies about murdering trans hookers? They might be film noir masterpieces. (Probably not, but they could be. You have no evidence they're not.)
-
@HardwareGeek if it's all they filmed, it makes sense for them to claim they never made any movie

@levicki said in Content Delaying Networks:
You absolutely can criticize movies but you can keep your criticism to the plot, unless you have some arts degree which would allow you to also be able to give meaningful criticism of photography, lighting, music, directing, acting, special effects, etc. Otherwise, you can only have an opinion which may be totally divorced from facts.
I can criticise anything I want. I just can't give informed criticism about many aspects of movie-making as I don't understand why some things are challenging or not. I can just say things like “the scenery looked really beautiful in this part of the film”, or “the awful music really distracted me from the stupid plot at this point” and stuff like that.

I stand by my comment that you can't criticize someone's choice of hostname unless you actually spent time to understand their network topology and can prove that cdn.example.com is just one server without DDoS protection and without geographical distribution (and also without expansion plans for the future).¡uᴉɐƃɐ sʇsodlɐoƃ ǝɥʇ ǝʌoɯ ǝɯ ǝʞɐɯ ʇ,uop ¡ʇᴉ doʇs 'פNOɹM ┴I פNIOp ǝɹ,noʎ 'oʇ noʎ ʇuɐʍ ᴉ ʎɐʍ ǝɥʇ ƃuᴉzᴉɔᴉʇᴉɹɔ ʇ,uǝɹɐ noʎ ou

Doesn't stop any of our users from saying "Why don't you implement <this/>? It should be really easy! What are you, lazy?" I see that all the time in our forums... sigh.

That's basically what @Lorne-Kates' opinion on naming a host cdn.example.com is equivalent to in this particular case.
Ah, I see the problem. To use a car analogy: you're a fucking idiot who can't read. Gotcha, will reply accordingly in the future.

No need to waste bytes to reply, just honk when you pass by my Porsche in your shoddy trailer home.
Oh no you implied that you're an Alpha Male (tm) who has Token Items of Success (tm) who actually puts value in trying to elevate themselves about other with their own Token Items of Success (tm) and who the chance that they're lying anyways is as sure as CDNs aren't needed.
My very MANLY soul is wounded!

Omg I've been thinking about this all day and it just struck me why.
What sort of shitty, broken down, janky-ass jalopy Porsche do you own that a trailer home can pass it?
That's just sad.

It sounds like you're implying that your current employment is leaving you undercompensated, and this is making you cranky. (Well, crankier than usual. You've been towards the acid end of your range for a few months now. Save that for the bodies.)

Parked one, smart ass. Even your shitty run down meth trailer full of enbalmed corpses of elderly women and children can pass parked cars, can it not?
Dat ass.

I said "when you pass me by" so he can't be parked and I can, smart ass.
So do you mean like an RV?

@levicki But what if the trailer was on the back of another Porsche?

Ah, I see, so you're one of those guys who parks his Tiny Penis-Mobile right outside the high school, hoping people notice it instead of your midlife crisis. I'd ask you about your grooming techniques, but you'd probably just think I was asking about your comb-over. Good luck picking up your daughter (that's why she calls you Daddy, right?), and just remember when she pulls out her phone: InstaGram photos are public, and SnapChat doesn't actually "delete" anything.
