Anyone else get this? I gave them my name / location and linked to twitter. But was wondering if everyone else was getting this message, or if it was just me because I paid with a card?

I'm just trying to determine if it is working properly or not on the forum. I was under the impression that if a member did not set an avatar, and Gravatar was enabled (it is) that it would generate a random one for them. Tired of seeing the default gray silhouette for those without an avatar...

Good question, the answer is going to vary greatly. I'd say in most cases when renting a server, it's going to be used hardware. The CPU, RAM, and hard-drives were once probably used by someone else. Even some providers who own their hardware may use some used parts, or use a used server all...

Hmm, I wonder if I can get away with using my S3 for free. Ditch the contract. Use a google number or something, I'm typically around wi-fi anyway. The money saved may be worth not having service when im out of the house, camping, or something. Hmm.

One thing I would recommend though, in an attempt to get this thread back on topic, is to do the following: Order a dedicated server. Install, configure, secure, break, and fix a SolusVM node. Since it's for testing, a cheap datashack server will do. Give a couple VPSes to friends, tell them to...

Well I've got a chrome S&W .45 as my main defender of the castle, and I go to the range. Got other toys too. But that's after the security system has been breached :P

No, but if you do please make a detailed review for us. Would be helpful for those in a similar situation.

Well, the house is on a hillside so the back windows are elevated off the ground by about 15 feet. The front windows can be secured with those alarms that send off those ear piercing pulsating sirens when opened. Figured I could use one of those door wedges for the doors that do the same...

Well duh, haha. 3 CPU Cores 2048MB RAM 2536MB Burst 110GB Diskspace 3000GB Bandwidth 100Mbit Port Speed 6 IPv4 Addresses 8 IPv6 Addresses OpenVZ/SolusVM $6.99/Month That smells so bad.

I'm 25, so my friends who have went to college (Indiana University, not a bad school) and graduated have done some of the following: Nothing, work in retail, or have joined the Navy. All of that could have been done without the debt. I find it comical, almost, that two of my best friends...

Seems to imply that it can only be with Colocrossing, in only Buffalo, Dallas or LA.

Anyone want to recommend a good setup? Namely looking for two cameras, for the front/back of the house. One on the porch to see the UPS/FedEx man drop off packages at my doorstep, the other for the back facing the yard. Preferably something that I can also stream from my phone if I needed to...

As they're the one sponsoring the event, yes, I believe so. Though that doesn't mean you couldn't also offer a location they don't offer out of your own pocket, if you wanted, I suppose.

This is different, but I'll allow it. Good luck! ;)

I've been working as a L1/L2 tech for a couple years now... :P Do I think I'll be doing this a few years down the road? Probably not. But thats only because I would imagine by then I'd have learned more to warrant not being a low-level tech. College is great if you don't have to pay for it or...

That's awesome, thanks for the share. I hope that helps the OP. May help me when I get around to switching things over to Nginx.

Nah. Never was a huge gamer. But my Dad was (still is). He used to slay us as Quake 1. I actually downloaded it played it on DosBox earlier this year and beat it again. Was interesting going through all the levels for the first time many years and remembering where most the secret stuff is.

"Congratulations Nick/Ramnode", I believe? Anyhow, glad to see theme expand to new markets and wish them all the best. I've always heard great things about RamNode and have yet to use them. I've got too many VPSes and have been canceling unused ones recently, or I'd pick one up!

Installing Nginx is quite easy. If you just want to follow a basic guide, your best bet is to follow the Linode tutorials here: https://library.linode.com/lemp-guides/centos-6 Honestly, I never setup FTP servers on any of my VPSes. Rarely I'll use Filezilla and SFTP into the machine, though...

I think there will always be those interested in ordering services from unique, under-tapped locations. I say go for it. :)
