I was using Apache Trafficserver before switching to Squid because at the time it didn't have a certain feature. Otherwise it worked fine. Worked better in fact, as it didn't have a 3 second startup delay, require patching in order to enable fast exit/restart behavior, didn't flip out if the internet connection momentarily went down, etc.
Squid on the other hand is the most irritating, fiddly POS, just like most other crapware in the Linux world is, starting with the kernel itself. (There is a reason Linus refused to take charge over the whole Linux ecosystem--because he has no clue how to design a proper user interface. See git, the kernel menuconfig, etc.) Just went to start up Squid again for the first time im a while, and guess what, now the POS is giving "permission denied" trying to open the pthread library. Funny how no other application on the entire system has a problem with this. I sincerely regret the time I invested in tweaking and adjusting this Squid configuration. Should I spend hours trying to figuring out this latest idiotic bug, or just go back to Trafficserver? I think you know the answer. Goodbye Squid, and good riddance. _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
