I laughed at this. Video started out quite true to that.
Trade shows are well, problematic. I did that circuit a while back in other industries. They tend to be very expensive for everyone. Convention centers where most of these happen are in big cities and union operated. You pay...
But it's going to be July exhaustion :) Oh wait it's July today....
ARIN right now must be super small allocations and long gaps between such. Anyone looking at the dole outs actively in past week (I haven't).
Only way they make it deep into July with ranges left is by withholding and...
CLI should never go breaking something like such.... I live CLI also and well, disappointed with a lot of gear because of GUI only limitations. GUI should be nothing more than software over API where such API is available to anything with credentials that you can fashion a program to henpeck...
Not to be crass... Lots of shops get pissy about dramas but they haven't minded instigating other ones stealth style or otherwise. Not saying anyone above has in this instance.
I am sure most folks here, even those blah about the current topic / person / company and the dramarama have IRL...
Pretty much this for me. I don't take a laptop to bed though. More likely to have Android tablet in such space. Same password fun and non-logged in dynamic.
Sad, but software as a bug :) Common issue these days of breaking release and depending on the community and their knowledge level such fubars can go on a very very long time.
Update to address inferred security aspects as a respectable tech, ugly downside of mass breakage. Too common. I use...
Next episode this Wednesday :) See the teaser on YouTube and it's Anonymous theme to start that... I see hardware destruction too...
I think USA has a hit on their hands with this.
I don't want to derail, but.... Any marketplace, including Fiverr is going to have lots of garbage. It's like the lowendjobs to fill hopelessness mostly... Lots of sketch.... Lots of I will do anything for what? < $4 all said. It's still a place to find some workers. But don't expect to pay...
Believe me, I asked the very same questions you are now a while back. CC / CVPS have a history of shells and stealth controlling things. This one at the end of it was a young man of his own volition going about mess making.
OpenDNS, that nimble DNS lookup service some here use and many more probably have in the past is selling out.
Cisco is the buyer, price $683 million.

He was an approximately 13-14 year old when his parents left him to waste in his room online.
Soon he got involved in hosting and GVH was born of his pursuit to make money, which is usually why people start businesses.
It had various low levels of success. Wasn't until he got plugging on...
I am indifferent to these drive-bys. Only call them that based on the prior posts by OP which were similar press piece dumps.
That said, all companies wishing to be in business must market themselves. That includes buying advertising as well as free methods like this.
I don't want to...
Frontrange / TSS / Colo@?
This is what I did a while back... Mostly. I keep a few VPS instances for location or features (filtering). Can count them now on one hand versus needing a spreadsheet.
It's unclear again how the rm -rf'ing technically happened. There is back pedaling off the IPMI entry. I know the firmware on the IPMIs was old and 'ploitable. IPMI might have been on public IPs with no ACL, VPN, etc. to access.... If so that's a self imposed gun in the mouth.
Unsure how...
Good to see a different review of a service / license company.
How are the prices just comparatively? Licensecart offering these licenses at rates in line with what you've seen elsewhere?
Cloud is entirely BS in most of the VPS market.
This includes in big shops like DigitalOcean.
Words have meaning and standards to such in computing. Sure loose definitions and adherence to meanings. Doesn't excuse the fraud of folks though.
Real clouds cost a good bit of cash. Offering...
This shituation happened 12-1:30PM Eastern Time on Sunday.
More than a dozen nodes wiped.
IPMI exploited. Looks like lots of upgrades of firmware due and some front side protection of IPMI.
Someone entered box, rm -rf'd the files literally. Dropped partitions too.
Those boxes are totally...
I don't recall a provider using proxmox's own panel.... Think I've seen a few API wrap it though. I suppose that can be done - using Proxmox itself.... Maybe one of the hardcore Proxmox users can speak up about it... I only use ProxMox in single customer mode (me with multiple containers I...
I think it's interesting. Unsure what is actually being done though from the site as-is. If the guy has done dev over months like claimed, he needs help communicating what this thing is much better.
I suspect it's more OVH heavy lifting with some block lists and iptables. Not belittling the...
Ahh the weekend ended their time like ahhh 15+ hours ago... and yesterday being Sunday I think things there were fine.
Sounds like this shituation happened overnight Sunday into Monday, but could be something else going on.
It's brutal either way. I feel for Tom. I'd be looking at every log...
