    FortressITX (DedicatedNow/SolarVPS) Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

    This was posted on WHT: "The company these documents reference is a holdings company. FORTRESSITX LLC did not file bankruptcy. Additionally, FORTRESSITX, LLC does not own Solar VPS or DedicatedNOW. Those are completely separate companies." So it would appear the multiple corporation insulation...

    Pimp up dem logs: “PimpMyLog”

    Looks nice.  Will give it a spin soon. Thanks @konsl. As far as logs go, necessary to some extent.   I am trying to be more diligent about centralizing them offsite on schedule and there for sanity/audit when I need them.  Fix bugs, determine malicious attempts, etc. Very much are double sided...

    Hardening my server / Reality check

    Tell a provider with a busy VPS server node this.  The part about SSH attempts not hurting you. More IPs routed to a box = multiplied effect. It really can and does create a traffic jam, deplete random pool and creates artificial slagging on the server. Dealing with these IPs and attempts...

    Operating a business - few quick questions

    This industry banks on PayPal lots.  You don't have it, you are  missing a lot of opportunities.  I only buy hosting and related services with PayPal. Chargebacks happen and there isn't a big problem with such in honest business.   Real companies deal with customers and avoid unnecessary...

    123Systems sold again?

    They are busy consulting their resident public relations / marketing GOD over at Greenvaluehost.  How to spin a dried up turd into into a nice liquid slurry palatable by the bacteria that buy via sLowendTalk. I guess I should have talked to @CVPS_Chris already.   I almost have the confessional...

    Any woodworkers in the house? Building a stand up workstation.

    Ikea does rock.  Lots of base pieces for projects.  Ikea needs more stores in the US.

    Any woodworkers in the house? Building a stand up workstation.

    Simple project really. No reason to get all fancy with it or costly.  They sell stand up workstations.  Looking at $300~ on the low side. You can build out of any cabinet grade lumber at your local hardware warehouse. Cabinet grade wood is quite a bit more than 2x4 or 2x6 or 2x8, etc...

    123Systems sold again?

    Word has it that Biloh took 123Systems off of ChicagoVPS (to those who don't know, Biloh owns majority control of CVPS). 123Systems is being operated at this point by another Colocrossing OWNED company.

    USB Temperature Sensor / Probe with Linux Compatibility

    Anyone out here doing any work with USB attached temperature sensors / probes? Looking for gear recommendation for USB temperature sensor / module / etc.   Prefer something finished, in a case aside from maybe a probe arm. Linux compatibility is the key here.  Anyone using such a device or...

    File uploading based script

    Why even have something so complex? I simple form uploader should suffice.   Put them in secure location (the uploads) and rename the files and make sure directory isn't exposed.

    123Systems sold again?

    Bahahaha  Come on now.  Still waiting on him admitting to his other shenanigans like with BlueVM ownership. If Fab spent half his time providing customer support and learning things himself, CVPS and related owned companies wouldn't be in the shape they are.
