Around a year ago I posted about routing my own prefixes to my machines with BGP, and running anycast. anycast is a routing architecture where your visitors are going to the (logical) nearest node of the cluster. I run a 2 node cluster, located in 2 different datacenters in Amsterdam in the Coloclue network. In […]
Yesterday I relocated my own server, Hayate, from The Datacenter Group (DCG) to euNetworks (EUN). My second server Reinforce-Zwei was in February removed there, so I only had 2 servers remaining on my account (my own server and a server owned by the MangaKissa Foundation). I can propably get my hands on a colocation spot […]
For almost a year my server is colocated at the non-profit association ColoClue. I had my own vlan with my own ip space and it worked well. I have also colocated the server of a friend of my, in the same vlan/ip space. Previous weekend I colocated my second server in an another datacenter used […]
In october last year I made a post about the livestream platform employed by the now defunct Whenever.is. Not much has changed since then, the tech does work and it scales nicely, as I have experienced first hand during the Clara Cow Cosplay Cup at our Animecon livestream.

The agenda was partly our fault, video is so much more interesting 😀 The […]
2 years ago I started with Patrick the Whenever.is project, an agenda where new comers in the Dutch Japanse popculture scene can see which events are held and where. We also added a livestream so that they can watch what the so called anime conventions are. Patrick and I are both webdevelopers so the website […]
DRM is a difficult subject to talk about. Some people call it defect by design or other things. I must admit myself that I use DRM is some sort of way; my own CMS Fusion Core is running on a platform controlled by my self. But I must also admit that I don’t like DRM; […]
You would think why use certificates only yourself trusts and not the rest of the world? Well for most applications you could certainly use commercial vendors for your SSL certificates if your certificates require a common PKI, but why spend the money if you manage the computers that need those certificates? That was a situation […]
Yay, YaYCon was previous sunday in Amersfoort. It is 1 of the smaller anime events we have in the Netherlands. Around 300 tickets sold I heard from trusted sources (chairwoman). I was there with my friends from Whenever.is and the first time with my new camera instead of using my mobile phone 😛 It was […]
