    Servermania Ad Stalking Lowendtalk.com and Lowendbox.com Visitors

    Ah, now I know why I see their ads everywhere. Not sure if it's a direct violation of adroll's policy or not, but regardless, still a tad shady I think. It'd be like me using vpsBoard to cookie stuff so when you sign up for digitalocean, I get a affiliate credit or something. Though I guess...

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    Should we start a betting pool on this? I got $10 that'll it be before this time next month, probably to CVPS. CC/HVH doesn't seem to be overly thrilled with them. I'd say them being banned on LET was partially an attempt to put Jonny in a corner where he'd have to sell, so my guess is it'll...

    I tweeted this ( https://twitter.com/vpsBoard/status/517401200346804224 ), I hope that is okay. Best of luck filling the position.

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    Interesting, thanks. Maybe we should all go out and buy some lotto tickets then.

    Register your own .ovh domain

    People who, for one reason or another, didn't choose any of the hundreds of other crappy novelty domain extensions. It'll be treated, at least by me, the same as a .info, .tk, .cc, .co, etc.

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    For what it's worth, HN-Matt and Gallaeaho are both members here, I can confirm that they use the same Canadian ISP and that I have not personally seen a match between any of their IPs. Also, one member seems to be in the middle of the country and one more eastern, at least according to the...

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    Doesn't Jon Nguyen have a history of making that claim? Remember when he 'stepped down', and that new employee appeared on LET... only to later find they had the same IP address thanks to the honesty of Mpkossen who pointed it out? After some lying and digging a deeper hole, it was later...

    Ad Stalking - Opinions? Good business or bad shady form?

    If I had a nickle for every time a DigitalOcean ad played before a YouTube video... I'd have, well, a lot of nickles. It makes sense from a marketing stand point do try to deliver the most relevant ads to an individual as possible, I'm surprised TV hasn't caught up and done better advertising...

    This. Well, HudsonValleyHost / ColoCrossing more likely.

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    Looks like @GVH-Jon (GreenValueHost.com) and his employees, who was banned here some time ago and @HN-Matt (HostNun.net )have been perma banned from LET for operating some sort of shill ring and are no longer allowed to post offers. Since it's hidden behind a login wall and in a thread most of...

    Are you in Diaspora? If not, give it a try

    Hmm, that's a big box in my eyes :P Most things I use are 512MB or less. I'll see about it later this week, may seek a deal from a provider outside my normal list of go-to providers to test them out.

    Are you in Diaspora? If not, give it a try

    I've got a spare openVZ box with AnyNode. Solid company, really enjoy their service. 256MB RAM and 20GB storage, will be happy to use it for this if that's enough for the project. Couldn't find the system requirements at a glance, but 256MB should be enough for about anything. vpsBoard runs in...

    Are you in Diaspora? If not, give it a try

    I'll consider it, if someone else wants to manage it... I've got an idle VPS or 2 somewhere.

    Are you in Diaspora? If not, give it a try

    Another thing that sounds good, will be cool for a week and then forgotten about. Sort of like the vpsBoard git server and vpsBoard image hosting server that I continue to pay for despite it being very very rarely used :)

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    Well, I was stuck using my $8 crappy soldering iron instead of the big solder gun. Since it was such a small part what I was doing, and it's probably not proper was heating a bead up and then trying to 'paint it on', so to speak to spread it out. I was trying to be very careful to not get too...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    My soldering sucks. I need more practice and better tools though. Had to use my $8 soldering iron as the one I normally use was broke, and that board is about the size of a half-dollar coin. That's just the battery leads for the mini-quad, I didn't take a photo of the soldered on xt60 connector...
