Slow blog images loading

arren86 — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 02:49:10 +0800

I believe most of you blogs especially for those bloggers that hosted their blog on Wordpress might sometimes having slowness problem loading their images or other media files on their blog page.

Now, there is a new solution for this matter by using Content Delivery Network or CDN.

A Content Delivery Network or Content Distribution Network (CDN) is a system of servers containing copies of data, placed at various points in a network so as to maximize bandwidth for access to the data from clients throughout the network. A client accesses a copy of the data near to the client, as opposed to all clients accessing the same central server, so as to avoid bottleneck near that server.

Content types include web objects, downloadable objects (media files, software, documents), applications, real time media streams, and other components of internet delivery (DNS, routes, and database queries).

The capacity sum of strategically placed CDN edge servers can be higher than the network backbone capacity. This can result in an impressive increase in the number of concurrent users. For instance, when there is a 10 Gbit/s network backbone and 100 Gbit/s central server capacity, only 10 Gbit/s can be delivered. But when 10 servers are moved to 10 CDN edge locations, total capacity can be 10×10 Gbit/s.

Strategically placed CDN edge servers decrease the load on interconnects, public peers, private peers and backbones, freeing up capacity and lowering delivery costs. It uses the same principle as above. Instead of loading all traffic on a backbone or peer link, a CDN can offload these by redirecting traffic to edge servers.

CDNs generally deliver content over TCP and UDP connections. TCP throughput over a network is impacted by both latency and packet loss. In order to reduce both of these parameters, CDNs traditionally place servers as close to the edge networks that users are on as possible. Theoretically the closer the content the faster the delivery, although network distance may not be the factor that leads to best performance. End users will likely experience less jitter, fewer network peaks and surges, and improved stream quality – especially in remote areas. The increased reliability allows a CDN operator to deliver HD quality content with high Quality of Service, low costs and low network load.

CDNs can dynamically distribute assets to strategically placed redundant core, fallback and edge servers. CDNs can have automatic server availability sensing with instant user redirection. A CDN can offer 100% availability, even with large power, network or hardware outages.

CDN technologies give more control of asset delivery and network load. They can optimize capacity per customer, provide views of real-time load and statistics, reveal which assets are popular, show active regions and report exact viewing details to the customers. These usage details are an important feature that a CDN provider must provide, since the usage logs are no longer available at the content source server after it has been plugged into the CDN, because the connections of end-users are now served by the CDN edges instead of the content source.

Troll, this is for you.

arren86 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:21:22 +0800

Ignoring internet "trolls" is the best way to deter people who surf the internet picking fights and abusing people on discussion forums, says an expert.

ABC News Online this week scrapped its 'Open for Comment' panel in a bid to deter trolls, who constantly start arguments and hurl abuse at other participants.

The move has been criticised by some people, as has ABC policy to moderate comments before posting them to the site.

The role of moderator is to act as a filter to keep debate civil, constructive and on topic. But some feel it is a form of censorship.

"If you start trying to decide what's worthy of being posted then the comments section will be nothing but an extension of the moderator's ego and opinion (as it is now). Vibrant debate and content worth reading will only thrive under a low censorship policy," said ABC commenter, Az.

But others agree with the idea of moderation.

"I find a lack of civility predominates and on occasions it becomes quite abusive ... My concerns are not about an inability to handle 'robust debate' or the 'emotional nature of things'. It is the deliberate attempts to belittle other people," said News Online reader, Annie.

Dr Jason Wilson, lecturer in digital communications at Wollongong University, says many people like to hide behind the mask of anonymity on the internet.

"It allows you to say things you may not say face-to-face or under your own name because you don't have to take responsibility for those comments," he said.

Reformed troll 'Mozart's Ghost' says many people get into trolling for the "thrill" of it.

"You suss out what bothers particular users, get to know them and their weaknesses and play on them," he told ABC News Online.

"You try and engage them in some sort of debate based on logic when you don't really care. You'll say anything just to get them to waste their time talking to you."

He says more seasoned trolls generally learn how to cleverly word their abuse in order to slip past moderators.

"You've got to be a lot smarter than that - that's level one of trolling," he said.

"You've got to get to level five where you're more subtle and subversive where people don't actually know if you're serious or not. It really mucks with people's minds."

Dr Wilson says crying censorship is a common complaint from trolls.

"There's a number of tried and true tactics that you'll find trolls using - saying something that's completely unacceptable and then immediately resorting to that complaint that they're being censored," he said.

Ironically, Mozart's Ghost is now "on the forces of good" and runs and internet forum.

Don't feed the trolls

He says the best way to make a troll go away is to simply ignore them.

"You can hardly go back into a thread and post if the last post is yours," he said.

"If you just ignore us, it's probably a good tactic because we do want some material we can come back at you with."

Dr Wilson agrees that the best way to take a troll down is to not react.

"People who run blogs and moderate comments need to be firm and not let any of this stuff through," he said.

"The good old motto is 'don't feed the troll'. Don't acknowledge them, don't give them attention, don't react because that's what they want."

He says in his experience, serial trolls tend to be men up to the age of about 30 and sometimes they can take things too far.

"[I've heard about] threats of violence, various kinds of low-level stalking," he said.

"It's something that does happen and people really do go after each other when they're having blog wars and what have you.

"But that happens in the mainstream media as well - people get vilified and attacked by mainstream journos as well, so it's all swings and roundabouts really."
