    Raspberry Pi 2

    Well the old 512MB B model will run without USB accessories on 5V 1A = 5 watts.   Throwing USB stuff tends to create power issue and thus 5V 2A power supplies have been commonly recommended.  Unsure of that 2A how much the Pi B prior could actually use though even with accessories. The latest...

    Webhostingtalk / Inet Interactive SOLD!

    There seems to be a honest lack of local advertising from hosting and data companies. My explanation for that lack and the propensity of industry folks to power dump ads on the usual sites is that people tend to be imitators.   They figure their competitors are doing it, so it must work (in...

    Linode vs DigitalOcean?

    I trust companies ran by humans that are accessible and who actually do the work.  Places I can send a message to someone or pick up the phone if really needed and get something done and not be a fish in a vast ocean playing ticket hockey... Yes, DO's support when I've tried it has been...

    Extrapolate your Opinions

    Seems like a horrible first post.  Welcome to #vpsBoard. Relevance is?   Trolling? Sad we paint the bible folks are hicks without teeth.  Would have been better with some folks of African heritage to throw things in the comic too. Just another virtual comic conversation in the mind of a...

    Virtual6.net Ceases Operations for unforeseen reasons :)

    RAID1 is running Rambo style.  I do it or worse on my own personal stuff, but on production, never.  Never do I say Enterprise or similar cash justification terms with such a disk choice in the mix. As far as container loading,  depends on virtualization and actual use as to what is sane to...

    Things to consider when choosing Colocation?

    Ignore the IPs getting blacklisted.  Ignore the bad reputation of the network due to malicious misuse.   Ignore increase of network attacks due to the crime infested ColoCrossing network neighborhood. They do one thing: CHEAP.  You want cheap, fine.  Fine, one of those cheap $30, now $43, next...

    Webhostingtalk / Inet Interactive SOLD!

    Well, that would require actual work, standards, etc.  All the sites, all the communities, everyone that has come and gone, only vpsBoard has had some real standards on providers coughing up their legitimacy documents and passing a baseline review.  This is why I love vpsBoard and think it's...

    Things to consider when choosing Colocation?

    Unsure how DC's handle those.  Cause they want rails normally so they can slide it out and pop the top as needed.  If hard bolted, they can't do that.  Now folks with their own racks or cage, yeah, they are more liberal :)

    Things to consider when choosing Colocation?

    I stopped sending stuff out to colo.   Facilities usually want gear with rack rails.  Do you have rails for your server?   Better check and ask whoever you consider if they take gear without rails.  Some facilities have generic rails they'll sell you, but they have a bad habit of never...

    Things to consider when choosing Colocation?

    Texas can die in a fire.  They still send me hate mail trying to collect bogus surcharge.   Nice of DC's down there to NOT NOTIFY CUSTOMERS. My notification was some shady looking junk mail envelope that I must have initially discarded.   Nice of DC's to GIVE PERSONAL DETAILS OF CUSTOMERS TO...

    Linode vs DigitalOcean?

    I wouldn't trust DigitalOcean with anything.  Biggest hype company in the industry.  Fine for sandbox for personal development.   Little gets said about their founders and their prior fails including being hacked and having 1000 servers wiped, inclusive of their backups or unable to restore or...

    Virtual6.net Ceases Operations for unforeseen reasons :)

    Why the ZOMBIE mode for Virtual6?  I was thinking someone accidentally posted WHT offer somehow... "Enterprise VPS Offering 100% dedicated resources including CPU power, these packages are intended for serious hosting that's mission critical or resource hungry. Satisfaction guaranteed and...

    Raspberry Pi 2

    So in two weeks, all those with buyers remorse let me know :) Sorry I didn't snag one from first inventory, but I hate bleeding edge adoption. Will be interested in seeing some comparative real world testing on the new CPU and see if they whole IO issue is any better on the new model.

    Internet providers don't think you need fast internet. Cable industry opposes 25Mbps broadband defin

    Well give me your 7Mbps and I'll trade you this 50Mbps Time Warner bullshit, heck I'll even throw in a free house.  #screwtheunitedstates How bad is it?  It's "prime time" now...  This is to a speedtest.net regional point that works entirely right and fast overnight (read 2AM onward): Ping...

    (raises hand for inclusion) Too many of the brands stuck to top of categories have been lingering there forever :) I don't buy managed anything.... and I don't buy cPanel....  so it's at least in VPS offers, entirely ignored by me. ... and that damn LiquidWeb VPS section ad: Liquid Web...

    Raspberry Pi 2

    Well, count me as impressed.  About time :)  Was considering other alternatives to the Pi.   All it needs now is a real drive interface and gigabit. This makes the Pi interesting again as general purpose kit for all sorts of things.  Before it was rather limited for anything too real.   CPU was...
