Regardless, why would you run MySQL instead of Maria DB? The install script is trying to do you a favor.

ATL here as well, can't even ping.

So, wait... this vulnerability was announced before and and CVPS did nothing to thwart it? Thank goodness I don't do anything serious on my VPS there - just couldn't pass on the deal - didn't even notice I was down until 24 hours or so afterwards, when they were sending emails. They've tried...

I've been eyeballing centminmod, since CentOS is our preferred distro. I just haven't given it a proper vetting yet.

I've never really been one for the domain game; if I own a domain I had an idea for it at some point (which is sad, looking at this list of domains). I cold-emailed the owner of EpicTrainer.com and purchased for $40 to be the launch of my roommate's son's personal training business. He never...

I wouldn't necessarily agree with it being slow; you do need to be much more cautious of what you're doing. You don't have all the freely available overhead on a mobile device, or network, to load 30 css files and 14 JavaScript from 5 different servers all over the world. Anytime someone...

I keep a /.ssh/config and /etc/hosts too, but no backups anywhere else? Nowhere detailing how to rebuild a certain box, what software / versions? I wouldn't be able to sleep at night...

I just use a Google Docs spreadsheet for the technical documentation (IP Address, hostname, initial root password, etc), the easily normalized data points, as well as a Google Dos document for what I call "Administrative documentation" which includes the data points that are not so easily...

This was my thought as well.. I was surprised people were promoting them so willingly. Digging through my email for a second... there we go, May 2008 their service was absolutely horrible - from a technical and support perspective. Let everyone take a lesson from that, I guess: it's been 5...

That's the fault of whoever you were buying from - as the buyer you should be mostly unaware of the fees. Wal-Mart has to pay everyone someone swipes a card, but they don't make me feel bad about it. That expense is averaged out over all transactions and into the overall price of the goods, just...

I use Stripe on a number of projects - anytime it's just straight billing to the client. Paypal recently changed their fee structure to match Stripe's in order to compete. I absolutely hate Paypal and, theoretically, I've owed them around $7500 for 11 years - client did a chargeback, I did the...

For development (at least for the web), period. Sure, it's trivial to get a LAMP stack up and running in OSX or any Linux distro; but that doesn't help much when I'm working on a Rails app at 11:00, then need to make a few changes to a NodeJS app at 11:37 and test the latest version of Jenkins...

I can't believe I found this... the Google-fu is strong today. I also can't believe: 1) less than 250 people responded, or 2) they are still giving them away and just have that line there to entice more action. This was easily a year ago, if not more...

I knew your script appeared to be a bit excessive, assuming CentOS 6.4 64bit: wget http://goo.gl/BLhej -O /etc/yum.repo.d/mariadb.repo sudo yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client sudo yum install MariaDB-Galera-server MariaDB-client galera sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

It doesn't? Like I said, I haven't even read their docs yet (I've been way too busy since Google I/O), I was just referring to two-factor authentication in general... but, they have to be. If they are using the key only that's only fulfilling one requirement of two and surely someone would have...
