    IPv6 at Home?

    Time for an HE IPv6 tunnel perhaps?  On my luxury to do list. Time Warner at least here doesn't offer such natively.  If I tried asking support, I'd probably need to get a foreign translator to aid me.  So I am left behind on the digital dirt path.

    How to sell more VPS Servers

    Sorry for the poor English in communicating this.   You asked for it, so here goes. Your site is atrocious.  Sure the template is nifty, and probably 400 other "companies" use it. Vacation Private Servers????!?!?!?   Does vacation mean something positive in your native language?  In English...

    Mulitiple WAN Aggregation Devices - Anyone Using?

    Multipath has strange model.   Monthly subscription on top of gear purchase and it's a hosted thing where traffic headed through it seems.  Meh, not my cup of tea there.

    Which gear to your knowledge supports bonding feature?

    Mulitiple WAN Aggregation Devices - Anyone Using?

    So my ongoing digital dirt road experience with throughput and lousy cable upstream has hit my tolerances. Intending on bringing in other bandwidth.  Not many options here.  DSL is available and 4G is available.  So grabbing one of each ASAP as my online experience as-is basically unusable due...

    GVH former head guy Eric Walstrom Charged for Hacking His High School

    The difference is you knew of the vuln but didn't go and misuse it to benefit yourself / cheat. Eric used his ability and knowledge to cheat.  American culture isn't real fond of cheaters and trespassers.

    Time Warner Cable Support Outsourced to Foreign Countries?

    They can not guarantee speeds all they want.  It is like they are selling me a gallon of gasoline, 128 ounces and I get delivered 1/16th during normal human awake hours or 8 ounces worth.   Imagine if that went down at your petrol station... I don't mind being short changed, but 50 topping out...

    Stack Exchange's server porn

    Looks like the US. What you are seeing there is (I don't know the technical name of the plug) is a semi common former plug style for monitors.  It's 110V.    There is however a port on that APC that is odd if it's 110V and that's the one you described Mann.  That looks to be higher voltage.  I...

    Since WHT isn't the same as 5+ years ago, where's all the 'good' traffic gone to?

    I can simply script spin ups with containers all over.   But your point is valid per se.  Cost bottom line is tricky and keeping hot spares isn't appealing, unless they are rather cheap (which I am quite fond of often).  Lots of the cloud companies (even fake ones) have sticker shock if you...

    So much to do!

    8.5 x 14 = Legal pads. White boards are meh, since the material stains if left on surface too long and the huffing of the pens gets to me.   I know why folks like those boards ;) Bitrix has that free entry tier for a handful of folks and a few gigs of storage.  Not bad if you have small team...

    What's for Lunch?

    I have a 3PM meal of eating Time Warner's deployed tech's lunch.  I should feed him before I slay him :) My lunch will be at dinner time again today.

    Since WHT isn't the same as 5+ years ago, where's all the 'good' traffic gone to?

    Sure you can.  A lot of us have been doing this for better chunk of 20 years.   More hot-standby front ends in more DCs.  Rest of it is just strings, front ends, load balancing, whatever your approach may be. Call me picky about clouds and all the hype.   Really aren't many people running real...

    How to sell more VPS Servers

    Paid advertising is about as useful as buying lottery tickets in most instances.  Really isn't just a buy and it happens approach or if so, you got darn lucky or paid someone a bundle who has been down the road plenty prior. No, your problem is that template.  Arrgghh.  How many people are...

    Since WHT isn't the same as 5+ years ago, where's all the 'good' traffic gone to?

    In theory you can HA config a box of Pi's or any collection of VPS containers.    Saying that those services bundle the tools for making HA happen automagically?

    So much to do!

    I feel the same way.  Only recommend the hosted solutions since they are entirely no brainers.   People like that stuff and honestly Bitrix and Hipchat are pretty compelling hosted solutions.  Some nice functionality, cross platform, all that jazz.  Freemium model of Bitrix is nifty

    So much to do!

    I am in the same overwhelmed and must manage boat. Software packages are pretty darn daunting.  Big curve, very specific and might miss some random thing you need and who knows about exporting your data. There is other issue with data sharing - do you need to share your data with office staff...

    Time Warner Cable Support Outsourced to Foreign Countries?

    Kudos to you on running a good shop and not false advertising about your support. MANY MANY shops pretend to have 24/7 support. When cornered about it by a pissed customer, the story telling begins.  Oh we accept tickets 24/7.  Doesn't mean we handle them or have staff then. I am one of those...

    Cheap SEO VPS?

    I hope the entire SEO industry burns in sulfur. Never have I seen a bigger collection of scam artists, mess makers and general jerk off in public idiots.  Bodily fluid spewers junking up everything.   Worse than spammers in my opinion. I'm not pleased by algorithms running the search circus...

    Time Warner Cable Support Outsourced to Foreign Countries?

    I've never had the walk in office experience with TWC.  But, their local node end is also in same location as their public walk in.   So, if they can't resolve my basket of issues via a deployed tech tomorrow, then I am doing office visit.  Can't wait actually. I'll be looking to make the help...
