    The cesspit / chat thread.

    I updated my ToS the other day with this:  Have I now lost all business from LET? :)

    Hacking Team got... well... hacked.

    A bit late, but an interesting response appeared on nettime earlier this month: http://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-1507/msg00015.html Reminds me of the GVH fiasco, where a simplistic scapegoat was created out of naive teenager when really, the problem was generated in large part by...

    Widespread misunderstanding of cloud from the people who claim that there is a widespread misunderst

    I don't think competent, stable, blah blah highly performing cloud infrastructure can be done for cheap either. I was only saying it can't possibly hold any claim to the word sanity after all the money has been spent on achieving it and catering to the higher-end market that needs it without...

    Getting new clients ~ How did you do it?

    Word of mouth and patience.

    Widespread misunderstanding of cloud from the people who claim that there is a widespread misunderst

    If your sense of 'cloud' can't be acquired inexpensively, doesn't your definition of 'sane' suddenly become meaningless? Relegating sanity to monied HA la la land would be quite stupid...

    OpenVZ

    Yeah, that's a legitimate concern, newbies and accidents, but again, not really what I was getting at.

    Wow, someone better tell them not to use OpenVZ.

    FYI: Planned vpsBoard maintenance will be occuring later this evening.

    Seconding both of these suggestions. Why were those features removed? New editor seems a bit wonky. It's forcing the second part of the above quote to be italicized for some reason, no idea why. Selecting the text and clicking the 'Italic' button does nothing. Otherwise, I'm not sure if it's a...

    Oh, no, Please go on! All that watching..... why stop now?

    OpenVZ

    I wasn't trying to find a winner. I mostly wanted to demystify the rhetoric used to attribute a false sense of security to certain virtualization technologies that are known for 'superior isolation' (don't worry, I won't bother trying to psychoanalyze KVM). As to performance and preference, I...

    Email Spam Decreases to Less than 50% of all Email

    Yeah, 84.44% and 14.4%. Very astute research, highly believable. Nothing blatantly manipulated and falsified about those numbers. I'm not one to discriminate against clowns, but I think you should at least let readers know that your Source is a clown proving ground.

    Windows XP

    Or consider learning/using multiple OS (including Windows) simultaneously? There are lots of situations where businesses or individuals were given no choice but to use Windows, or were not made aware of alternatives from the start, which is not really a reason to abandon them. It may be...

    Cloud VPS is really cloud?

    Short of the obvious analogy to rain... um, the concept of 'redundancy' is already a kind of leakage in and of itself. Especially to the extent that data is being mirrored beyond RAID and at multiple locations across the world. It is preemptively leaked in a sense.

    Cloud VPS is really cloud?

    Guaranteed data leakage.

    Critical Vulnerability in RDP Could Allow Remote Code Execution

    I think with Windows at least everyone knows in advance that it's exploitable/exploited to hell. They may proceed or react with relative certainty and confidence in such knowledge. To the contrary, some Linux ideologies seem to come hand in hand with snobbish pretensions or quietist tendencies...
