    Best not wordpress blogging platform?

    I'd recommend against Disqus, simply because I've got it blocked on all my devices via Ghostery so never see it, and rarely temporarily allow it unless it's an article where I really want to read the comments (but never post). Only thing worse than Disqus, in my opinion, is Facebook comments on...

    2015 New Years Resolutions?

    The garden was just for fun, it wasn't an income garden and was mostly just for the few of us that lived on the property. It was a 20 acre orchard and we planted well over 1,000 pomegranate trees. There was a good 20+ aged and fruiting ones already. The orchard itself, when I arrived, was...

    2014 year in review. What were your favorite VPS industry moments of 2014?

    With the 2014 year rapidly coming to an end, it's a good time to look back and review the industry events of 2014. What are some of the more memorable events of this past year that is worth remembering? The VolumeDrive and Burst.NET fiascos spring to mind for me, although it was a pretty...

    Greenvaluehost hacked, customer details exposed to public including customer photo IDs

    So, touching base on the points made above. Unsure who to believe as I don't know the Chad fellow personally, but strangely enough these Skype screenshots found their way to me that says otherwise about Jonny's drinking. Of course, I was a teenager once and did a lot of dumb stuff. I'm sure...

    A visual comparison of provider's and their custom control panels. Lots of screenshots!

    Nope, it's separated. Only Backupsy, DigitalOcean and SecureDragon all have it merged into one login from what I am aware of. I'm sure there are others but I've only reviewed the ones I use. I think Vultr is all one panel as well, but can't confirm. Unsure about Wable and all the other cloud...

    A visual comparison of provider's and their custom control panels. Lots of screenshots!

    Are you saying it's going to happen this year? You got 3 days! Not a big deal, but little things like seeing my due date and VPS cost in the VPS management panel are nice, though I can see how having all the other features of billing/support available there too. ;)

    A visual comparison of provider's and their custom control panels. Lots of screenshots!

    I was going to include DigitalOcean, however they're not an active member here. If someone would like to go through and do this for Vultr's control panel, that'd be appreciated as I understand Dave posts here occasionally. Any other provider that I should check out?

    A visual comparison of provider's and their custom control panels. Lots of screenshots!

    This thread will be a work in progress. First let me say: WARNING! Lots of images below! I wanted to show off some of the custom panels that a few providers that frequent vpsBoard have created. I'm a customer of each provider and have taken the time to go through and take a lot of screenshots...

    Greenvaluehost hacked, customer details exposed to public including customer photo IDs

    He's banned and will remain banned from his past shenanigans and lies. In short, I don't feel comfortable having him using this forum as a platform to gain business if it's done so on lies. It's the first ban of it's kind, but even in this recent event we hear one story, we hear his where he...

    Greenvaluehost hacked, customer details exposed to public including customer photo IDs

    Well, I wasn't going to share what he said to me privately but if he's shared it with you, then yes, I can confirm that is what was said. Saturday, December 27th, 2014 6:57 PM <gvhJon> MannDude 6:57 PM <gvhJon> Curtis 6:58 PM <gvhJon> Just FYI -- Thread on vpsBoard and Chad's story was a bunch...

    Greenvaluehost hacked, customer details exposed to public including customer photo IDs

    Brew some tea and light some candles if you plan to read that novel. TL;DR: Was a GVH reseller. Jonny gave him further discounts to earn his business over his already stupid prices. After complaining about service performance due to abusers on node, Jonny gives this customer of his access to...

    Greenvaluehost hacked, customer details exposed to public including customer photo IDs

    I thought Jon was ultra religious? Has this industry turned him into a Satan worshipping drunk already? :P I'll read the thread in more details soon but find it odd he's telling people he's drinking/getting drunk. My bet is he knows that some people are into that and just saying he is doing...

    Facial recognition data from Facebook archived backup.

    Haha, that'd actually probably work. I wonder if I could continue to do this until eventually I could use a photo of a Ninja Turtle or cartoon character to be associated with my name!

    2015 New Years Resolutions?

    It was great! I'd love to find some land nearby that I can buy on contract to start building a future homestead! Really miss the feeling of coming inside after being outside all day. Now it's trying to go outside a couple times a week after being inside all day! Gah.

    Facial recognition data from Facebook archived backup.

    So, I was recently browsing through an old Facebook backup/archive I made before closing out an old account. I was looking for some old photos I had uploaded from a few years ago, and noticed that at the bottom of the page, beneath the individual albums that existed was a link in the footer that...

    2015 New Years Resolutions?

    Oh man, you'd love the pomegranate orchard I managed a few years ago. 20 acres, we planted over 1,000 new pomegrante trees. Also had figs, plums, apricots and pears growing on the property. For gardening, we had 20, 16X4 foot garden beds with a drip system for starting seedlings (later dug to be...

    Greenvaluehost hacked, customer details exposed to public including customer photo IDs

    As mentioned previously, perhaps in a different thread, I am willing to bet a large portion of their customer base would be those from non-native English speaking countries. They're less likely to read a lot of reviews, or to fully understand them (depending on their grasp of the language...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Pretty sure this is the one: http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Coffee-ECM160-Espresso-Machine/dp/B000U6BSI2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419662248&sr=8-1 Trouble is I have very very very limited counter space. I barely have enough room for my coffee pot where it is now. I need more counter space. :P If I had...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    I got an espresso maker for Christmas and I don't think I've ever even have had an espresso before... ever. Worth unboxing and trying it out or should I keep it in the box and return it? I'm happy that it was gifted to me, as my family knows I like coffee (I got some sweet mugs too) but I...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    Got this sweet pistol case for Christmas that makes for a good quad holder. Should be much easier to move it around safely. Also got that directional antena which will be fun to play with, will need to do some range tests. I may add a screen to the box also, behind the top layer of foam and mod...
