    Sleeping hours

    So true. Your job is only something someone is paying you for because he do not want to do it himself. You get used to a lot of things. But loosing sight of your beloved ones just does not justify your actions. I see a lot of mid 30's stucking in a midlife crisis because of the fact they...

    Small redis key/value database

    Redis is a lightweight and fast key/value store. I did have a view projects where I needed something like a persistent hashmap with quite a view values. Too much for a text file but at the same time too simple for MySQL. So Redis fills the gap with a small memory footprint key/value database...

    phpMyAdmin Security

    It depends. I do prefer desktop clients too. SSH into the box to get access to the MySQL server listening only on localhost. But if someone else needs access to the db ... well you won't give them ssh or openvpn keys. Easiest way to secure phpMyAdmin: Create .htaccess file and limit the access...

    Eric Hocking, Johnathan Snyder scamming company - FrenzyHost Network LLC

    @netnub Can't believe this. The security settings of namecheap are quite good. All about email notifications and security keys sent by email which have to be entered into a form.

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    All that mini Ajax requests heavily depend on latency. But looking to the loading times: GET http://www.vpsboard.com/ [HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently 468ms] GET http://vpsboard.com/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2262ms] GET...

    SolidShellSecurity is merging with Hudson Valley Host

    Nasty attack vector Searching for ips with a lot of domains to create a lot of DNS change trouble is a bad attack vector. But on shared hosting everyone is using the DNS server of the host. So there is a simple MySQL update/sed on some zone files to change one ip to another. So one batch file...

    Sleeping hours

    I need 9 hours of sleep. Currently getting about 6 hours of sleep interrupted by my 3 month old child. Looks like I am getting used to it but I am looking forward for some additional hours of sleep.

    Custom Solus theme, does it make a difference?

    Nice touch of your SolusVM. But I don't think it's worth the hassle. I do see the SoluVM page 1-2 times a year...

    need suggestions on my upcoming host.

    So 100GB for hosting space. You want about 1.000 users. So 100 MB space for a user. Equally shared between webspace, mailspace and mysql space. You should support more than the normal php+mysql mix. Try e.g. node.js + MongoDB hosting. Or a free redis db for each user.

    Favorite OS for your VPSes?

    Ubuntu LTS. I do not want to switch between different Linux distributions. One os for all latoops and vps.

    Hetzner has been compromised

    Perfect reaction. I really want to know how that could happen. This is really a first class hack. Still waiting for the smart guys to find a way to detect binaries that are only modified in RAM.

    Statistics and logging

    Interesting topic. I did have a similar problem (importing about 30.000 csv files - each about 2 MB of size - each hour). After trying a lot with different databases I stumbled about ZeroMQ. If the work is too heavy - distribute it. I read once that you are using php for your new pony stable...

    Setting up a restricted (whitelist) proxy

    First note about forcing someone to user your proxy: Linux iptables iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -s ! proxy-ip -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to proxy-ip:8888 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s local-network -d proxy-ip -j SNAT --to local-ip iptables -A FORWARD -s local-network -d...

    Setting up a restricted (whitelist) proxy

    Running a public proxy is quite a trouble making decision. Ok it is not as dump as posting your ssh credentials on twitter, but please read the TOS of your provider first. Your hoster does not bite - talk with him/her. Sometimes a restricted proxy can be usefull too. E.g. secure the internet...

    I'm speechless...

    Their Twitter account is full of excuses and rants too. It is hard to believe. Public ssh account ... how should that helped anybody in Turkey?
