    What skills do you look for in your employees?

    Nope, not required. I don't think I've ever seen it as a requirement, though as mentioned in the other thread about it I don't see how it'd hurt. The L1 test can be taken online, though the L2 test and above requires you to be on-site, which for me seems like a bit much. I'm not flying out to...

    cPanel certification?

    I'd say it probably wouldn't hurt to have it, though experience in this industry seems to reign over certifications and proper training (at least in my experience). I'm not cPanel certified though something I may consider doing if others chime in that it's worthwhile to obtain it.  I'd say that...

    Shit Doesn't Always Float...Sometimes It Sinks

    Looks like they still receive the odd comment on LEB: http://lowendbox.com/blog/vpsdatabase-6month-512mb-openvz-kvm-in-russia-kansas-and-canada/ , though doesn't seem very positive... They also posted an offer here, though as an unverified provider the offers are not crawled by Google nor...

    Shit Doesn't Always Float...Sometimes It Sinks

    Hahaha. Oh god. Sounds like he didn't do any fraud checking and had no idea how to monitor his servers for abuse. So now he's going to sell to his 'legit' customers, at a higher price? Haha. Yeah, no. Can't manage a VPS node but wants to sell dedicated servers?..

    eBay hacked. Change your password.

    Ditto. I found out on Twitter...  Then when I did want to change my password, I had to scratch my head and rub my chin, trying to figure that out. Wasn't as straight forward as you'd imagine, but after a couple minutes had it done.

    What other forums to do you regularly visit?

    A ton. Industry stuff: WHT and I still lurk LET. Non-industry stuff... random gun forums, RCGroup, HomesteadingToday, etc. I'm sure there are more and it'll come to me next time I get an email from one of the forums :) A more interesting topic would be, "What sub-reddits do you follow?" Haha...

    Benefits and downfalls of running Nginx and Apache side-by-side?

    Hey all, I'm looking into running Nginx and Apache side by side to power vpsBoard. Currently running only Nginx and serving PHP via php5-fpm, though it seems once every day or so that PHP likes to consume all CPU and throw out errors. I'm looking into different options of correcting this as...

    504 Issues Here

    Looks like it was timing out earlier: https://nodeping.com/reports/checks/xw82domk-dzs4-4ur1-8tq0-eawellyd9yq3 Sometimes php5-fpm decides to run wild... I'll look more into it tonight, on how to prevent it from suddenly eating all the CPU up. May serve php over Apache too, as was suggested in...

    List of community links.

    Woops. Sorry, you're right. I was only basing that on past plays, more so in the old turntable room. Not many have played in the vpsboard plug.dj room but I don't really lurk it as often as I'm usually elsewhere on plug.dj, I keep it on while I work throughout the day. In the old room, aside...

    List of community links.

    Yep, this. Depending on your musical tastes it's a great to discover new music. Lots of different rooms for different genres, and you can snag songs as well to put on your own playlist. The vpsBoard room is hopeful, but we all have varying tastes in music for it to be really worthwhile, but it...

    Differences between common transfer methods?

    The other day was talking to someone who uses FUSE, and although I had heard of it I've never actually utilized it. Got me thinking what the major differences are between common transfer methods, and one would be better than the other in certain scenarios. Anyone care to give me a basic...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    Just came in today. Still waiting for the rest to arrive from HobbyKing, though that could be next month before it arrives. Still need a few more parts that aren't on the other order, but hopefully will have it up and running by this time next month.

    Analysis of LowendBox Offer Tags

    It's interesting, and it isn't a hit piece. Just an analysis of the low end market place, really. Interesting to see numbers associated with locations and features, I think.

    Analysis of LowendBox Offer Tags

    Pretty neat, if anything it just goes to show the saturation in particular cities. Surprised to see LA, Chicago and Dallas exceed (by good numbers) the offers tagged with Buffalo.  Virtualization totals don't surprise me. OpenVZ, KVM, Xen was in the order most of us would imagine...
