    vpsBoard's Future

    That knownhost logo in footer is meh, looks like a cheap ad. You know, you should add some text like "vpsboard is proudly owned by" "is made possible by" or whatever sounds better. I think you got what I'm trying to say. English not my primary language and I have drunk a bottle of wine...

    Home Automation

    I automated wife's mood. I buy a lot of that stuff, have a couple of Arduino and ARM boards, but never had time to automate my home. She sees how much $$$ I spent and the space that stuff takes and now I have a wife's mood automation. Doesn't even need power to run.

    Docker - Good reference to get started?

    +1. The official docs are pretty good. I used it + some google fu. Docker isn't a silver bullet like some people sell it, but is a good tool and has a lot of potential, even while having some caveats.

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Like I said, the engine is OK, just usability that isn't very good and, like you said, can possibly be fixed with a theme/UI customization. I forgot to mention, but current ads banner breaks mobile view.

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    I think that I visit only 3 forums nowadays (here, let and VERY VERY rarely wht)(4 if you count reddit as a forum). I hate vpsb usability, hate wht mobile usability and (oh boy, I will burn in hell because of this) like let usability. Before you kill me, let me explain my algorithm on how I...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    I like this site, but I hate IPBoard usability (mobile and desktop, don't know which one is worst).

    DOJ vs. Apple over Terrorist Phone

    Every intelligence agency in the world profiles Facebook/twitter/g+ (and a lot of other social networks). Even bureaus  not related to national security do (like IRS).  (almost every single social network have some kind of government backdoor). IBM and Palantir are big players in this game...

    DOJ vs. Apple over Terrorist Phone

    Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but I don't see FBI/DoJ request as something targeted to help this investigation, there is more... Let's see, NSA, CIA, FBI, local police, everyone failed to prevent that massacre. How can USA waste billions of dollars per year and don't prevent that kind of...

    Own an MVPower DVR / NVR for CCTV - you've been pwned.

     Sadly there are enough reasons today to not trust in any piece of hardware no matter where it was design or assembled.

    Seagate faces class-action lawsuit over 3TB hard drive failure rates

    Not a lawyer too, but most customer and contract law have rules that can be used to sue when one part deliberated omitted or falsified information. It won't be easy, but I bet the MTBF of these disks can be proved to be worse then what was announced. As you, I too bet that these are the...

    https://github.com/tylertreat/Comcast/issues/9 See issue 10 too. Btw if any Mac user needs this, there is an Apple tool called network link conditioner which works on OSX and iOS.

    VPS Request for a P2H Site?

    Op is immature and wants to host a post to host forum/host. A couple of good vpsboard users gave him some advice. Op goes to defensive mode and starts to act as a jerk. Another user trolls op. Op and troll keep arguing. Yeah you should close this :)
