NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.
Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.
You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.

                Great and less great SSDs for Ethereum nodes
              
          
    Overview

Syncing an Ethereum node is largely reliant on latency and IOPS, I/O Per Second, of the storage. Budget SSDs will struggle to an extent, and some won't be able to sync at all. IOPS can roughly be used as proxy of / predictor for latency. Measuring latency directly is arguably better.
This document aims to snapshot some known good and known bad models.
The drive lists are ordered by interface and then by capacity and alphabetically by vendor name, not by preference. The lists are not exhaustive at all. @mwpastore linked a filterable spreadsheet in comments that has a far greater variety of drives and their characteristics. Filter it by DRAM yes, NAND Type TLC, Form Factor M.2, and desired capacity.
For size, 4TB is a conservative choice which also supports a Fusaka "supernode". The smaller 2TB drive should last an Ethereum full node until at least sometime 2026, with [pre-merge history expiry](http

    Programming as Theory Building

Peter Naur


Peter Naur's classic 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building" argues that
a program is not its source code. A program is a shared mental
construct (he uses the word theory) that lives in the minds of the people who
work on it. If you lose the people, you lose the program. The code is merely a
written representation of the program, and it's lossy, so you can't reconstruct

    ABOUT

about:config settings to harden the Firefox browser. Privacy and performance enhancements.

To change these settings type 'about:config' in the url bar.
Then search the setting you would like to change and modify the value. Some settings may break certain websites from functioning and
rendering normally. Some settings may also make firefox unstable.
I am not liable for any damages/loss of data.
Not all these changes are necessary and will be dependent upon your usage and hardware. Do some research on settings if you don't understand what they do. These settings are best combined with your standard privacy extensions
(HTTPS Everywhere No longer required: Enable HTTPS-Only Mode, NoScript/Request Policy, uBlock origin, agent spoofing, Privacy Badger etc), and all plugins set to "Ask To Activate".

## README.txt
This is an example how to perform multi-select faceting in ElasticSearch.

Selecting multiple values from the same facet will result in an OR filter between each of the values:
(facet1.value1 OR facet1.value2)

Faceting on more than one facet will result in an AND filter between each facet:
(facet1.value1 OR facet1.value2) AND (facet2.value1)

I have chosen to update the counts for each facet the selected value DOES NOT belong to since we are performing an AND between each facet.  I have included an example that shows how to keep the counts if you don't want to do this (filter0.sh).
