    Anonymous Web-host shut down, owner arrested; Tor users compromised by Javascript exploit

    Was about to post the same. Good discussions over at: http://www.reddit.com/r/i2p http://www.reddit.com/r/Darknetplan http://www.reddit.com/r/meshnet

    GreenValueHost - OpenVZ VPS BLOWOUT! 30GB HDD, 1GB RAM, 2TB BW, 2 IPs only $2.95/mo or $20/year!

    C'mon guys, let's all play nicely. Anyhow, after three reports on this thread and a request from the OP to have it locked, I'm locking it. Go fight it out in the relatively un-moderated IRC :lock:

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    I'm not seeing any plugins for markdown for IPB. I could, however, allow a limited set of HTML to be used?

    Stale commands in htop?

    First off, pardon my ignorance. Working on a little project last night and I notice this today. I made a bash script that runs on a cron schedule, that works properly and does what it needs to do (as of last run, anyway). However when viewing htop, I see a ton of instances of the script in the...

    Digital Ocean - New York City Location

    Apparently so. I ordered at the same time most of you all did. I didn't even demand coupon code after coupon code like all of you. I used the $5 coupon code and purchased another $5 worth of credit.

    adduser: The user `backup' already exists. (Debian)

    I'm an idiot. The hostname was 'backup' (not 'demo', as used in this thread as an example), which is actually supposed to be part of the default Debian install as per Debian documentation here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch12.en.html#s-faq-os-users

    adduser: The user `backup' already exists. (Debian)

    Well, Debian 7 wasn't an option from the order form, so was using Debain 6. I've just logged into SolusVM and have re-created the VPS with Debain 7... Linux backup 2.6.32-042stab078.27 #1 SMP Mon Jul 1 20:48:07 MSK 2013 i686 The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free...

    adduser: The user `backup' already exists. (Debian)

    This is my bash history (minus a couple typos). The first thing I do when I login to any new VPS is change the root password. passwd apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y apt-get install nano nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config service ssh restart apt-get remove apache* bind9* sasl* samba* sendmail*...

    adduser: The user `backup' already exists. (Debian)

    The username isn't actually 'demo'. I just didn't want to post the actual hostname. But it's not something I would expect a default minimal Debian install to include. EDIT: See my edited first post. The actual hostname was 'backup', which is supposed to exist according to Debian documentation.

    adduser: The user `backup' already exists. (Debian)

    It works without error: I can SSH using the 'backup' user afterwards, with the updated password. I'm just wondering why the user already existed. And if the password for this user wasn't the root password (neither the original password or the updated root password), if there was a password for...

    adduser: The user `backup' already exists. (Debian)

    NOTE: Thread and posts were edited. Originally I was using the host-name 'demo' in this thread as a representation of my error, and not my real hostname. Turns out the user I was actually using is a 'feature' of Debian and supposed to be there.... Source...

    Who here is using Gravatar?

    Well, I need to figure out how to get gravatars to generate random avatars for those who have not manually set an avatar or for those who do not have an gravatar account. Those little gray silhouettes are an eyesore.

    Digital Ocean - New York City Location

    I asked Digital Ocean what would have happened to my account had I not seen the ticket or chose not to respond to the verification request: I don't check my email that I use to sign up with providers all that often, so I didn't even know they opened up a ticket with me requesting more info...

    Site to traceroute from multiple locations?

    There was a site that was listed on here in the past, and I can't seem to find it. Could of sworn I book marked it, maybe it's on my laptop and not my desktop. Anyhow, as the title would suggest, it'd show the results of a traceroute from a seemingly crazy amount of locations globally. Anyone...

    Who here is using Gravatar?

    I know I disabled uploading an avatar from a photo URL for some security reasons, though the upload form should still work. Let me test it out.

    Who here is using Gravatar?

    Ok, so it IS working. Perhaps I misunderstood the feature. I was under the impression that those members, like Artie above, who have not yet set their avatar would receive a randomly generated one. I know that if you have a Gravatar account, it'll use the same avatar everywhere automatically...
