comment Which EC2 instance best for Chef server?
Will start with just 2 (running ruby+rails, postresql, node.js, redis, memcached) but predicting a quick growth to >5 in the near future. For that reason wouldn't want to go with hosted chef.

comment RAID1 with non-empty HDDs on a NAS
@Tom I see. So if it's enough for me to protect the data by storing it on 2 HDDs, RAID1 should be fine. If controller fails, I presume I could still get the data off of one of them. I could then selectively backup some of this data offsite (whatever matters more), to reduce backup cost.

comment RAID1 with non-empty HDDs on a NAS
Thanks, so looks like they don't provide any "smart" option. I better get ready with all the spare storage I have for this transition then. :(

comment RAID1 with non-empty HDDs on a NAS
@Tom My home is where I work, it's an office, etc. I don't need a high-end solution, but I do need to keep the data duplicated once, and always available on the network. 4-bay low-end seems sufficient for now. Speaking of RAID1, I guess it's a subject for another question, but I didn't know that if one HDD dies, the other one loses data. Am I understanding it correctly?

comment Nginx with Passenger behind HAProxy causes 503 errors
Although this fixed it for me, I still wonder why HAProxy doesn't queue them up steadily. If I increase maxconn, then all I'm doing is delegating queueing to Passenger. However, in my tests I'm sieging with the same force in both cases. Why does HAProxy 503 so much, and Passenger (with global queue on) keeps serving well? Does it have to do with my HAProxy timeout settings? (contimeout, clitimeout, srvtimeout)
