    BlueVM and the great labor rights of exploiting labor

    I used the term "volunteer" in a sense that I was voluntarily putting in hours that I didn't need to. We learned last year that Secure Dragon could run on autopilot with minimal human intervention but it wouldn't evolve any (we'd still be growing client-wise, but that's it and that's not enough...

    Any unique web hosts?

    To my knowledge, we're the only budget VPS provider in our Tampa and Denver data centers and will be the only VPS provider in our new Oregon and Ohio locations (although the Ohio data center itself offers an ESXi cloud solution, it's not budget at all and spans multiple states for HA).

    BlueVM and the great labor rights of exploiting labor

    Like the NFL, the commissioner earns over $29m a year and since they are a nonprofit, they don't pay income tax.

    BlueVM and the great labor rights of exploiting labor

    I get offers all of the time for people who want to volunteer at SD for free just to get the experience. Currently all 2 of us at SD are volunteers who put in at least 40 hours a week, but we don't mind because the money we could be getting paid is being used to build the company so we're happy...

    Automated "am I blacklisted?" check?

    I haven't used this in a while but I found this back in 2011: <?php require_once('Net/DNSBL.php'); $iplist = file("/root/iplist"); foreach ($iplist as $ip){ $dnsbl = new Net_DNSBL(); $dnsbl->setBlacklists(array( 'asiaspam.spamblocked.com', 'bl.deadbeef.com', 'bl.emailbasura.org'...

    VPS's .. The dangers of doing business with idiots

    I would have done the same also. If he did do the work and they got hacked again (which seems inevitable) then they can blame him for it and that would be both a PR nightmare for his reputation and a potential legal one. It would be like suing a roofing company because they were the last ones...

    Share a filesystem (like nfs) across the Internet

    I use NFS personally. I run the nsfd server on an OpenVZ VPS and mount the share across all of my ESXi hosts (GA, NC, and CO). It works really nice.

    NTP - the new DDOS amplifier

    We had an 80Gbps attack for about an hour, I was expecting some packet loss but I didn't even notice it until I checked the logs later that day. I can't wait to get into our new data center and setup load balanced webservers again to load balance the attacks. :)

    Where's my swap? (A "how does vSwap work" question)

    vSwap uses RAM and not actual swap on a disk like traditional swap (although OpenVZ will artificially slow it down so your vSwap is not at fast as your actual RAM). This is why it says /dev/null because there's no actual directory/file on the disk.

    Promoting Affiliate Links?

    I find that genuine and detailed reviews sell a product better than a banner. Why not right up an honest and detailed review and include the links at the end of the review. And when I say detailed, I mean detailed so as to avoid looking like a paid advertisement, it's also nice to include a bit...

    Google will explore bringing Fiber to 34 new cities including Portland and Atlanta

    I would only switch if they have native IPv6, I've started relying more and more on IPv6 and I won't be dropping Comcast for an ISP that doesn't have it regardless of the speed.

    Gmail Trick

    I never said I liked GMail. ;) But for my main e-mail account on GMail, I've never received a spam e-mail in my inbox since I switched to it a few years back nor have I ever had legitimate e-mails sent to spam before (except for sites that do not have correctly configured mail servers). Now my...

    Neat. I hate GMail a little less now.

    I didn't know about that. Can't you also use a + or something for adding text to your e-mail address?
