    What is the biggest mistake that you have seen a web host make?

    What are these cash reserves ye speak of?  My parents give me allowance every week.  There will be more VPS server money next week.

    What is the biggest mistake that you have seen a web host make?

    I am not naming any names.  Pissing contests and mad folks just aren't fun on a thread like this. 1. Months of downtime in a row just to discourage annual plans from renewing. 2. Lots of accidental container wipes.  Surefire way to lose customers you don't deem financially viable. 3. Backups...

    Being a Vegetarian

    I've been vegetarian for a quarter of a century. I got off meat to control health, internal distress, etc.  Had good results eliminating meat from diet and were quickly realized.  I also recalled all those years - at a young age going to a butcher shop where they prepared whole animals around...

    Best Mail Client

    I am certain it won't meet all the needs, but I am really loving myMail for Android.  I prefer such on a phone/tablet with bluetooth input devices.   Means I am not logged into spynetworksGoogle on the desktop where I do work and might not want this mixed up in the data collection pool with that...

    Thanks Amazon for my new USB.....nipple rings....

    Hahaha this thread! I do a lot of ordering online as often home-bound and local shopping is just bad or need to go drive an hour away. Haven't had many snafus if I ignore the shit heads selling on Ebay who ship when they freaking feel like it, the Chinese sellers who pretend to ship from the...

    Systemd, Debian and former cron jobs

    I'm grateful for the time and effort Mr. Ryan.  Quite a bunch of additional effort for what use to be a very simple cronjob. I'll give systemd a try on local workstation.  I already purged it from remote VPS instance and went back to cron and none systemd.  Since I had broken stuff...  and not...

    Cloud At Cost Offlined by Car Crash.

    $280 for a 4GB VPS .... with proven lousy performance, disk speeds (disk is on a SAN).... downtime... support that is overwhelmed and ticket shuttering.. constant re-marketing to formerly robbed customers... How many years before this is even financially worth it? $70 a year x 4 years?  Come...

    Cloud At Cost Offlined by Car Crash.

    They just love these insane promo emails.  They send more promo emails than Nigerians and Viagra mailers. The other day it was like 60% off.  One of them prior was giving away 100 VPSes.... These aren't good promos.  Just perma lower the pricing.  Their website is all these HUGE numbers for...

    Systemd, Debian and former cron jobs

    Much appreciated.   This is Debian so likely different paths and all that fun. Maybe we should do some samples for benefit of everyone else out there.  Legit pain for a lot of folks with no tech tolerance or ability to Google the solution (results to queries in Google even Debian specific are...

    Systemd, Debian and former cron jobs

    I read the Arch doc earlier and still am going huh big picture. Going to be a lot of normal folks who when they upgrade run into this problem and determine it after the fact. We need a better doc for humans to take their nice and straightforward crontab entries and get them converted into...

    Cloud At Cost Offlined by Car Crash.

    I tried them early on - in past year.   It was lousy.    Never got better for me.   Remember this is the company that decided turning containers off was a good way to reduce resources.  So you buy and are idle and your stuff per se went offline. I had more downtime there than I probably had...

    Systemd, Debian and former cron jobs

    So I am late to the systemd circus.  Updated a Debian box today with cronjobs that need to fire. This new systemd appears to make cronjobs no longer run.  Been depreciated and such should be in systemd mess. Can someone point me to some how-tos or  simple instruction on where stuff formerly...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    Mine went fubar on the boot OS... so it's collecting dust until I find time to copy data off and reinstall.

    Hostnun brand closing - consolidating into ellipsisno.de

    Looks like the Host Nuns are giving up their habit and moving on.   I think this is a good move. Host Nun has had its day and will be closing come the end of May. In short, HN clients will be transferred to my new initiative, Ellipsis Node: http://ellipsisno.de What does this mean for...

    Post Your Mobile Data Use

    I see lots of data usage from folks... Yikes. I am just self limiting to 1GB a month on two different plans (one phone + one wifi AP tied to data). If I find myself out in the field or away from the home office too regularly, that use will balloon.

    vpsBoard fitness club!

    I've been fasting for decades. I do two different approaches.  One is just liquid food and not a lot of it.  Other is spans of time with mostly fluids but little to no solid food. Typically I fast a good 15+ hours every weekend and do fluid version 2 or more days a week. Fasting should be...
