Hi Kai, yesterday I switched my Gentoo router over to handling PPPoE

I'll find out if it helps with TCP Queuing and (supposedly) related

I just remembered that our AT modem/router does not respond to
pings. My solution is to move PPPoE off of that device and onto my
Gentoo router so that pings pass through the AT device to the Gentoo
router but I haven't done that yet as I want to be on-site for it.
Could that behavior somehow be contributing to this problem? There
does seem to be a clear correlation between user activity at that
location and the bad server behavior.

That makes sense. So in my case, I'm thinking 1492 MTU on every
interface in the network.
So I'm sure I understand, should everyone with a DSL connection set an
MTU of 1492 (or potentially lower) on all of their network interfaces
to avoid packet fragmentation?

After that it wouldn't tell me "Frag needed" no matter how high I set
the MTU for the ping command, but maybe the above indicates that my
max MTU is 1492?

I'm in the midst of this. Are there certain attacks I should check for?

in the graph of web server requests but it is not.
I do run a small MTU on the systems at work due to the config of the
modem/router we have there.
Is this a recognizable problem to anyone?

Gmail's IMAP server doesn't do that exact thing, but it does have some
similar, sometimes odd-seeming, behaviors due to behind-the-curtains

It could be failing hardware but I didn't touch the USB stick when it
freaked out. This same thing has happened several times now with two
different USB sticks.
It sounds like I'm stuck with NTFS if I want to share the USB stick
amongst Gentoo systems without managing UUIDs and I want to work with
files larger than 4GB. exfat is the other option but it sounds rather
unproven.

I said I was under attack but it was really just an unthrottled and
very greedy bot. fail2ban would have gotten him. But while we're on
the subject, how would you recommend thwarting a DDoS attack against a
dedicated server in a hosted environment? Cloudflare?

Also I wish fail2ban-client would display a tally of all fails and

Could shorewall/iptables see a different IP address than the one seen by nginx?

Hi, my site is being ravaged by an IP but dropping the IP via
shorewall is seeming to have no effect. I'm using his IP from nginx
logs. IP blocking in shorewall has always worked before. What could
be happening?

d to use files larger than 4GB. I
know it's beta software but should exfat be more reliable than ntfs?

I'm using ntfs-ng as opposed to the kernel option(s).

em that will make that unnecessary and exhibit better
reliability than NTFS?
