    .net price change

    Well with all the new extensions, the days of caring about domains has kind of gone goodbye. Folks like Network Solutions always have fetched premium money on domain registrations.  Less than in the 1990's obviously, but upward pressure is pushing everyone up which is generally meh. Cost...

    Any ham radio operators here?

    Cheap sticks is where it is at.  Those $200+ devices are for people who have tried, tested and grown into hardcore hobby or are intending on.

    Kimsufi BHS in Stock!

    Meh OVH, hype. Won't order one until they stop requesting your papers comrade.  Over here that policy is meh,  us Yankees don't much care for it. One option might be that the whole heyday and interest in OVH here in North America has gone cold.  But I am not seeing that.   Kimsufi showing all...

    Any ham radio operators here?

    We need a semi good SDR thread around here :)  Hint. I still have my stick unused - unwrapped on shelf waiting for spring, outside, free time (what's that?). In same vein I point to a recent IndieGoGo campaign called Outernet which is a FTA satellite internet library of sorts...

    Coronal Mass Ejection from Our Sun Smashed the Planet Today

    No joke, a big flare would be reason to go underground.  Good bit of worst case scenario has dwelled upon that inevitable will happen eventuality. Someone said they were seeing Auroras all the way in the Carolinas yesterday.   Pretty far south. TWC pixelated :)  Their TV stays like that.  ...

    Hmmmm...... What are some apps you would like to see.

    My sentiments exactly.  There are a gazillion Android apps - it's a total garbage yard though.  Most apps should be rm -rf'd for adware hell, battery churn, spyware intent, etc. Big need for actual utilities ala Swiss Army knife style - what can a device do that eliminates other paid tool.  ...

    Any ham radio operators here?

    On the same little boat :) The SDR stuff is mega interesting.  I picked up an el cheapo USB TV tuner with chipset that is popular with the SDR crowd.   Need to get it outside to garage where RF interference is lesser and see what it can do. But that's larger topic of many bands and not just...

    Equipment Insurance

    Make that reason #1 why your new $150 subsidiary isolates adult stuff away from the parent company. Stuff like this is why businesses do structure and have multiple companies. PS: Is their form public?  Can you post a link to it?

    Average or adequate pay for (remote/work from home) L1 staff?

    $10 hour fulltime @ 2000 hours = $20k $15 hour fulltime @ 2000 hours = $30k $20 hour fulltime @ 2000 hours = $40k Seems reasonable per se.   Those are really remote worker numbers.  In office / on location, are going to be a bunch more from the employee status overhead alone, higher cost of...

    What to do with my High End VPS?

    Seriously, you are welcome to be around here and all...  Glad to have you on board. Just expecting a bit from folks to tell you what to do and all. Making money is something few do with VPS unless they've developed something substantial as a niche or product offering.   Develop something or...

    [Confirmed] GreenValueHost being sold to XFuseSolutions

    Looks like Greenvaluehost.com has been offline since overnight.  The domain had been recently used by Jonny to promo his reborn shared hosting (as per recent WHT offer).

    Coronal Mass Ejection from Our Sun Smashed the Planet Today

    Big sun discharged smacked the planet today. What makes this one interesting they are in the International Space Station watching the light show. These solar flares were rated G4-class. Photos and more info over here...

    Mikrotik / RouterOS Users Out There?

    It's like the Mikrotik gear is capable and all but they aren't making a play for the density switching market... More of a router with value added.  They appear to have 24 port switching units that are $200~.  But up above there, not seeing products. Definitely a strong play in WISP market.  ...

    Mikrotik / RouterOS Users Out There?

    All new to me, but Mikrotik has a pretty big and expanding line of products. Like this 16GB + 36 core beast :) Mikrotik CCR1036-8G-2S+EM Router Firewall 16GB RAM     Our fastest router has now become even better - the new CCR1036-8G-2S+ now has two SFP+ ports for 10G...

    Mikrotik / RouterOS Users Out There?

    Wowzers :) Great responses.  Thank you! I opted into one of these: http://routerboard.com/RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN $120 for switch + wifi + the LCD +++++   Counterintuitive and  like where to get started - but once you get moving slightly it's quite nifty underneath. Now this has me looking at...

    Mikrotik / RouterOS Users Out There?

    Do we have folks around here using Mikrotik gear and RouterOS?   Really nifty gear lately from them and some neat stuff in the pipeline. Looking for some pointers for a RouterOS newbie.  Anyone recommend reference things other than their Wiki materials?

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    ... and back to normal... rain threatens, creatures run indoors to watch Netflunkx. Back to 300-500ms sustained latency on a test ping I leave running.  When the net is healthy and right it's like 20-40ms.  300-500ms pushing 800K only on the whole line. Cable infrastructure sucks ass where...
