Avoid outdated package dead ends and opaque FastCGI failures when serving Lua through nginx. The working dependency list, WSAPI example, and process checks give Debian Squeeze admins a quick path to a testable deployment.

A tiny production mystery—part timekeeping, part runaway automation—shows how daylight-saving edge cases can turn a quiet night into an audible incident.

A distributed filesystem can look viable until stale packages, opaque authentication, and caching bugs turn deployment into a support burden. This teardown helps Debian users spot when a promising legacy tool is too risky for real data.

Early staging drivers can turn a simple shared-filesystem experiment into kernel panics, missing build dependencies, and silent metadata corruption. A useful caution for anyone weighing bleeding-edge distributed storage against mature alternatives.
