I tuned our proxy cache a few years ago. Ground up some numbers. Determined an ideal cache object size was 12k.

How times have ****ing changed.

Almost no point in a proxy cache now. Getting hard to convince websites that proxies are a thing they should not break, and aren't always a Tor user, or a geoIP-dodger, and that yes, HTTP connections for the same user can actually come from different IPs.

And has anyone noticed how sites try and make you need to scroll down after loading to get any of the actual articles/information nowadays? Is that by any chance because they can see you scroll using on-demand image loading of lower images so they can grok the grab strength they got on you?
