comment git vs Subversion - pros and cons
I would say that Joshua comment is misleading. The files that a checked out are the same size for both SVN and git. What will happen is that because git keeps a copy of the repo information locally, the total disk space required for all the files plus the repo history will grow as you edit the files, but for SVN this space is fixed (as repo history is not stored locally).

comment Commit hook on github to trigger hudson build
The "GET" parameters are URL parameters that can be used with any type of URL request. POST is often used to allow all of the parameters to be pasted in the body (then they don't show up in browser histories or URL logs). But for simple runtime parameters that you wish to be easy to change, it is a good way to do things.

comment Graphing process memory usage on Linux
To monitor a single process, see the documentation on SNMP for adding a custom command to the SNMP values. The use something like ps with grep and/or awk to find the memory values for your process and output it as a value. Then in Cacti, graph this value as a gauge.

comment QoS for very basic LAN/WiFi network: Do I need SmoothWall or OpenWRT or just good advice?
Note, network performance will be better if you cap your upload bandwidth to 90%. On asymmetric DSL connections, if your upload bandwidth runs out, it will cause your downloads to slow down. I have found that WOW gets really slow if a torrent client uses all the upload bandwidth. If it is restricted to only 80%, then WOW runs much better.

comment SSH keypair generation: RSA or DSA?
GoDaddy now uses 2048-bit keys for SSL and others have pointed out that 1024-bit is now considered "at-risk" due to advances in computing power.

comment SSH keypair generation: RSA or DSA?
@xenoterracide, ssh uses the openssl libraries. When SSH first starts it uses RSA/DSA keys to do host verification and to setup the symmetrical keys for the session. This is the same procedure that SSL servers and client follow, so you will find that we people talk about SSH, they will often refer to allow the research and documentation done for SSL

comment Can i setup my second ip adress as secondary nameserver
FYI, the in-addr.arpa zones that you have configured will not resolve for anybody else as the zone delegated to your hosting company's DNS servers and not your DNS server. I expect that you will need to ask your hosting company to change those values on case by case basis.

comment Can i setup my second ip adress as secondary nameserver
What you need to do is to add a record to dnsnode.net, ns3.rdshosting.nl, with an IP address of 62.212.66.56. They should have a manage DNS web page where you can enter the name and IP address of a third DNS server. This is how you will register the third address. If you have questions about how to do this, send them email, use the live chat, or call them.
