    Ulta low power TI LaunchPad

    Well it is cheaper :lol: But the main difference is: Arduino is all about a nfinitiv loop running all the time - with a fixed MHz. Launchpad is all about interrupts and scaling speed (internal clock source) - so it does have power saving mode in which it uses virtually no power, but can wake...

    VPS provider with free NodePing Account?

    Nodeping is good. You can setup the number of retries before an alert is sent: It is only spotty if you want it to be spotty.

    Running your own vestacp instance

    Are you sure that localhost.localdomain is added to /etc/localdomains?

    Running your own vestacp instance

    Please check your DNS settings. That is a wrong or missing MX record - check if there is a MX record for server.domain.com - and if it is pointing to the right IP.

    Robert Clarke DDoS'd Brings the Internet Down...

    Not allowing a second chance? Yup I know a lot of people ruined even the third change - but sometimes people grow up. If I look at the timing - your timezone (sleeping time) - it was an planned attack. Quite some accidents to manage to get the maximum damage out of a test.

    NTP - the new DDOS amplifier

    Hopefully everyone will take a look at his/her own subnets. I thought that too. But look at the numbers at OpenNTPProject. Not the official Pool numbers. There is a nmap script available that lists all ips that can be used for an attack - if you do not trust OpenNTPProject. But every vps...

    NTP - the new DDOS amplifier

    We all know about DNS amplification attacks (open relays) but now time servers are used to DDOS hosts too. The Network Time Protocol is used to synchronize computers across the world against centralized servers to within a fraction of a second of coordinated universal time (UTC). It uses the...

    HTML 5 Required Tags

    Looking to w3schools the supported browsers are limited. So take the JQuery path (and a nice plugin) or keep your checks in php.

    wlanboy.com - how it started

    HTML is XML so I am using xpath to pick the elements I want. Need a tool to get xpaths out of a current website? Use the Firefox Plugin Firebug. On the HTML view you can select any element and right click on it to copy the xpath for this element. Most of my knowledge is based on free...

    DotVPS.co Jack's Company Sold to Oktay/Serverian/Backupsy/etc.

    Running your own vestacp instance

    Create a new one, remove the old one. The domain name is a key value for a lot of things.

    GreenValueHost outsources customer support to India.

    Second that. First time that I read about customers that have to argue with the hoster to get access to the resources they have paid for. E.g. throtteling the CPU after they are allready throttled by OpenVZ - is not a clever move. They realized that and removed that 50% limit - but I don't...

    DotVPS.co Jack's Company Sold to Oktay/Serverian/Backupsy/etc.

    That's an suprise. I like Jack and his way of doing things. At least no vanishing of the company. Looks like the consolidation of the vps market just started.

    wlanboy.com - how it started

    So this is the short story about wlanboy.com - a twitter archive dedicated to vps providers. Twitter and all other social services are banned on work so I needed a remote twitter client. Main reason was about missing campaigns. Yup - I missed some good coupon codes and therefore wanted...

    best tld offshore?

    Second that. Your server may be in the UK, in NL or in Iceland - if the server owner is an US company - it isn't offshore at all. .to/.io/.ws/.in/.pw/ might be good for someone searching for a good domain name but they are not saver than a .com domain. Same with "secure" registrars like...
