WordPress mobile error: “the target server failed to respond”

Posted on by primaryt

When joining a new mobile device to wordpress it looks like the first request is a GET request.

My Varnish config only included support for POST requests to xmlrpc.php

I updated my config to read:

// set backend, pipe, strip cookies from xmlrpc 
  if (req.request == "POST" && req.url ~ "xmlrpc.php") {remove req.http.cookie;set req.backend = mainserver;return(pipe);}
  if (req.request == "GET" && req.url ~ "xmlrpc.php") {remove req.http.cookie;set req.backend = mainserver;return(pipe);}

and it sorted it! Huraa

My genetic report

Posted on by primaryt

I try to be at the forefronts of lots of technological advanced and I try to support companies that make advanced in areas I deem positive on the future of humanity. With that said I had a genetic report done by 23 and Me.

I was amazed they were able to detect psoriasis and that my risk level is massively high [43%+], this is amazing because I am showing early symptoms and my family have a history of it.

I show a slightly above average risk for prostate cancer, alzheimers, age related macular degeneration and colorectal cancer.

Below is a print screen of my results, pretty impressive technology right?  But 23 and me and does even more, it is able to detect how I will respond to certain drugs and therefor I can make educated decisions prior to having treatment.



I appreciate a lot of people will think I am a little crazy for posting the above information but rest assured it’s only a snippit of available information and I post a lot more personal information into the public domain on a daily basis.
