    Home Network Architecture

    Powerline is neat stuff.  Comes with greatly reduced throughput, but if you are speaking of wifi, already dealing in such big reductions, so shouldn't matter. Finally ordered a new kit  (prior brand and model were the infamous very dirty and wireless transceiving disguised as powerline).  Easy...

    FCC New Net Neutality Law Finally Released to Public

    Good question. I just recklessly skimmed it a bit and seems alright as expected from that view.   Bound to be lots of got yous and fine legalese to confuse things. At 400 pages, going to take me days to get through it.

    [Confirmed] GreenValueHost being sold to XFuseSolutions

    Jonny PM'd me to say this domain is not his.   It's a reseller abroad.   Known of it for months and let it slide.

    [Confirmed] GreenValueHost being sold to XFuseSolutions

    Sorry guys, I've been face down with crappy internet and playing catch up from last week and being sick. I know nothing of this GreenValueServer thing, but would appear to JonnySpazz's.   Doubt he's going out to market with it.   I've told him umpteen times that GreenValue-anything is a death...

    Chris Miller -- Seeking Full Time Position at a web hosting company (7 YEARS of industry experience!

    There are a lot of companies hiring or at least their websites say so.   Support often is a remote workable role.  Other roles they tend more often to want folks on-site. Good luck Mr. Miller, hoping you land somewhere good.

    Building an energy efficient computer/workstation?

    So if averaging 91 watts for everything there mentioned = full system.  That's not too bad. Factoring this to cover a work day 8 hours plus an hour before and after = 10 hours a day.   10 x 91 = 910 watts. To cover that with off grid power (i.e. solar usually) you would need: 910 / 4 = 227...

    Building an energy efficient computer/workstation?

    How are you driving 2 monitors on those systems?  Do those natively support dual monitors with the integrated video on board?  What sort of connectors from those to your monitors? HDMI?

    Building an energy efficient computer/workstation?

    So those two combined mean this: 3.61 Kwh consumed in 40 hours and 19 minutes. Let's round for easy math: 3.61 KwH = 3610 watts 40 hours 3610 / 40 = 90.25 watts per hour if usage is uniform.  In computing it never is unless running something fully 100% or at baseline consistently idle. If...

    Building an energy efficient computer/workstation?

    There are a bunch of other things that come to mind when doing an efficient build or rebuild these days. Modem   ] Router    ] Switch    ] Wifi         ] ... These three no one looks at.   Big issue with this stack is normally they are 24/7/365.   If doing solar/wind/alt power, no way to...

    IPv6 at Home?

    There is a one line configuration adjustment you can make in gai.conf to give IPv4 precedence over IPv6 in a dual stacked network configuration, see: http://www.buntschu.ch/blog/?p=493 TL;DR is edit gai.conf to uncomment this line: #precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100 Uncomment it and save and...

    Building an energy efficient computer/workstation?

    There are interesting builds and clearly speed improvement and more tolerable since running SSDs. Are you aware of either platform, elsewhere or you personally driving say 2 monitors with such?

    Building an energy efficient computer/workstation?

    I did this sort of things years back when I was planning on running off grid (i.e. no mains power). Biggest culprits of power burn are:  Leaving your PC on 24/7. Thirsty CPUs with inefficient idle states Video cards Power Supply Multiple Monitors 1.  Enable sleep / hibernate mode at...

    GreenHostBox changing name and kicking all vps customers

    I am so unclear why people take this approach :)  Just sell the VPS customers or deal them away freely or make accommodations for civil migrations to other providers. BrizaWeb, whee, what a site.  Another says nothing website.  If you can't say good things about your business and why people...

    GreenHostBox changing name and kicking all vps customers

    Bahahah what the hell is this? Oh the Eng-wish in the second mail. Hello in order to grow our newly named company, we are dumping all our prior customers??!?!?!?  Well, not many options here.  Either they undercharged prior customers (likely true in LowEndSpirit) or they are intending on...

    GreenValueHost is moving again.

    Former GVH customers will be staying where they are.   Now that is except the AMS move that happened and those on really small annuals.   All that migrated to sunny Buffalo.

    Mulitiple WAN Aggregation Devices - Anyone Using?

    Expensive kit. :)  Recommendation on model?   pfsense is looking like the right fit and oddly it was my short list for other reasons. Any idea @bizzard if it support simultaneous usage of multiple upstreams without too much complication?  Like 1 file xfer diced up across two lines and things...
