Welcome to America. While Michigan in that article claims to be low / infrequent in charging minors as adults, the practice is semi common in the good ole USA. I am on the see saw about the adult / minor status.  Clearly folks hide behind minor status and get lesser punishment under such...

+1 for this design.  I like it.. Simple and straight forward.

I am on the fence about backups. I can see average customer expecting it or pointing to multitude of companies that include backups in their plan. See I can go from provider to provider and see all the usual brag points about super network and giant routers and Fort Knox style secure facility...

Which media server software are you using?

The Raspberry Pi's do have HDMI, the pogos do not :) If the Pi interests you, give a look at the Banana Pi.  It's compatible with Raspbian and lots of overlap.  It has dual core + more RAM + SATA.  Cost is a little more, but I think worth it.

I am all for funding something like this so it gets done, be it a hobby or not, users, other admins, etc. see value in it.  Saves man years of other folks time and those other folks might actually not have the time or value their time so lowly or tolerate hurdles (and thus abandon interest in...

A3's are a hefty $12.99 on Ebay.. sometimes less :)   It's all day able to be found otherwise in the $20 or less bracket... Uses, hmmm, doing a barebones DLNA server with one to serve up content to TV.  That one has a big fat USB3 external drive tethered to it. Have another one with various...

61 cent increase is ~ 10% uptick on base pricing... that's hefty... thanks @DomainBop. Many, many years ago I mocked the alternative domain extensions as novelties.    With the continued price surging of .com, .net and .org, yeah, officially it is time for other extensions to start getting...

What is the base minimum price for .net's with this increase? Expect to see more domains abandoned and couple that with expanded funny extensions and well, .com, .net are going out of their way to be less than competitive / losing luster.

Cable management was just the cherry on top of this fail. The genius find was the ancient switch being used as router.

Strange media piece. Even stranger is the whole CurtisG persona, events, etc. I don't support swatting people like described therein or of people we know here.  Can't imagine even at most brutal stage Jarland earning such attention.    I for one believe CurtisG has a sidekick / partner...

Glad to see this went over better than usual :) Small starting DC / server rooms indeed have to start somewhere. I for one rather enjoy builds like this / wish to see more of them. The McMega datacenter thing folks get their rocks off about here and on other hosting sites is just blah.   It's...

There are indeed @raindog308 Debian how-to's... Let me see if I can find one for that model while doing an install on some fresh A3 models this weekend. The A1 on paper *appears* to be the same everything as the A3, just lacks some of the additional connectors. Arch is alright... I am a Debian...

Well, I went to donate @bizzard. Indiegogo only accepts real cards for payments and I don't deposit those online.  Not complaining, just pointing to barrier for some subset of folks who might otherwise contribute. I support simplifying the installation.   Should help adoption and deployment...

There is a finite write span on anything.  Much less on SSDs, but so is proportional space so far on shipped units. Question though for that test and with others with "failed" SSDs is --- are your SSDs still usable as read-only units?  Or do they entirely fail and are unusable entirely? I...

Versaweb in Las Vegas has some good offers now and then.  Haven't looked recently. Reliable Hosting Services in West Virginia / border of Maryland has L5420's at low enough rates. Can get 2nd drive as a one time cost: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1434672 I recommend those...

It's a niche storage play where the boat has long sailed elsewhere. This sort of thing mattered more when storage cost more to rent and less free big options. I don't host anything in the cloud unless such was created in said cloud.  So it lives and dies there... Backups and such to remote...

Crowd sourced funding right?  Same foolish folks handing $50k+ for a dude to make potato salad.  Same folks throwing money behind Chinese $17 devices with a daemon or two running pretending to be a security / anonymous traffic box - ahh multiple times.  Says something about how quick folks are...

Yeah well, hidden whois, I can overlook.. IF.... the website said much of substance about the company... Nothing there really. Good to see legit folks, but the website and WHOIS is doing them a disservice well beyond my little ole opinion.

Not going to... happen... Hell Glockenoogle doesn't even want you to be able to drive a car on your lonesome.  Yeah I know they haven't sold their tech in public like that.. But it's coming... soon.... Imagine the fears and phobias of people when they contemplate private flying crafts.   not...
