Something that just cropped up for me: WHMCS has full e-mail history, so (as a client) I wish I could have it resend e-mails. My current VPS organization scheme is to throw all VPS welcome e-mails under a gmail label, so when I accidentally removed the MX record on my domain a while ago, I...

Going through some logs just now and I saw a few interesting entries such as: [Wed May 01 04:18:18 2013] [error] [client 198.7.63.79] File does not exist: /var/www/w00tw00t.at.blackhats.romanian.anti-sec:) [Wed May 01 04:18:18 2013] [error] [client 198.7.63.79] File does not exist...

The whole point of the ReCAPTCHA project was to digitize books. The premise was simple: take a word that a computer could successfully OCR and put it up against one it could not. If the user entered the known word correctly, then you could be relatively certain that the unknown word was correct...

The MySQL errors were my fault. Table change. I am still wondering why the MySQL upgrades are being held back.

I've gotten in the habit of running `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade` every time I log in to one of my VPSes. Lately I've been seeing the usual upgrades, but also MySQL packages that are being "kept back". I did an `apt-get dist-upgrade` on one of my VPSes to test, and now MySQL seems like...

You didn't mention what type of "venture" you're starting - I assume it's VPS/hosting related? Perhaps if you were to mention that, you'd get more people willing to partner with you.

Very similar, but I use Ubuntu. All the advantages, but with more frequent releases and more up-to-date software. I've tried Debian, but I found that certain little inconsistencies kept bothering me, so I switched back. I originally started using Ubuntu on the desktop, so I was familiar with the...

Yes and no. This article summarizes how the crack worked, but it also says it was fixed by Google before the crackers even got a chance to demo their work.

OCR - run that image through http://www.i2ocr.com/. It comes out close enough that once it's run through my script, you have the address. Maybe if you don't name the image "email.png" on the server?

Where have I heard a similar claim before..? Seriously, though, they do use CC's network, but I don't know about ownership. If you're correct about the credit card statement, I would assume they are owned by CC.

Like it or not, we often have to post our e-mail addresses online. And that attracts spammers. I've seen some pretty elaborate "anti-spam" measures to disguise one's e-mail address from spammers. But these anti-spam measures forget some pretty simple principles of how e-mail addresses look...

I don't know, I've already used my code.

I think the layout was more suited to it :( Ah well, we'll see. FWIW I have completed the transfer of the extra domain to Namecheap. The details are now the same as domain 2.

With as many VPSes as I have, if one goes offline, there's a very good chance I won't be overly concerned. If this had happened to me, I would have said "meh" and moved on.

Okay, as long as they didn't abruptly cancel with no warning. Still weird. Could be they're shutting down? Certainly not normal, and quite possibly annoying, but manageable.

I should mention that the winner of 2 also gets a similar domain with two "S"es instead of one for free. In other words, you get: for free if you win domain 2. This domain was registered at the same time as 2, but has not yet been transferred. I intend to transfer it tomorrow, June 4, when...

I'll be interested to see what projects turn up. I've got a project going that I'd like on a dedi (who wouldn't?), but it's running just fine on a 512MB VPS.

In my (brief) experience with the server, I got over 40MB/s download speed, when the server was only 100Mbit. I'd say that's a decent network :)

Ummm... AFAIK BudgetVM doesn't have an Amsterdam location - U.S. only.

Hmmm... Never had any such problems myself.
