    LET Down?

    Since Uncle Fran is giving LowendHistoryLessons I'll toss this on the fire. Ironic that back in the day, oh was that February 2012 when Lowendtalk was hosted on Linode.   LET got DDoS'd and it went on and on.  The site stayed down for days. Then all of a sudden - to the rescue - ColoCrossing...

    LET Down?

    The downtime perplexes me with those sites....  They are big sites if you look at corrupted metrics like Alexa.  Don't go comparing something like that to say BuySellsAds numbers.  Huge difference. I mean if they can't even keep up their own sites.... What happens when you are a customer...

    LET Down?

    Don't wait too long.  I never buy LA since latency and connects from here in Zimbabwe to there are so bad.   My upstream pushes packets at the rate and pattern of a urine stream. Curiously watching as you grow your seedling company.  Waiting for that new snazzy with-bite logo.

    Colocrossing Network down in Los Angeles and Other Locations

    "access layer switch issue that occurred simultaneously in about 9% of our cabinets, across 5 different sites. The problem is almost fully resolved at this time." I am new here too ;) What the hark is an access layer switch and why is someone poking a mass of them in cabinets all over the...

    Best way to get people to join a small community?

    I hate CAPTCHA.  Find yourself a simple script that outputs numbers to images.   Numbers are far easier for humans to process.   Then just rotate the numbers from time to time :)   Today everything is so ADD about viewer time span.  Process should be to collect minimal info and back fill it on...

    Best way to get people to join a small community?

    Well I'll start by saying too many steps. Hit main promo screen, then to agreement page, then to signup. The signup page is 8 questions.... The last one about number of US presidents, well, that will have folks doinking in Google/similar search to determine.   A simple ### CAPTCHA would be...

    SSL vulnerability CVE-2014-3566

    http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-3566 Overview The SSL protocol 3.0, as used in OpenSSL through 1.0.1i and other products, uses nondeterministic CBC padding, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain cleartext data via a padding-oracle attack, aka...

    Colocrossing Network down in Los Angeles and Other Locations

    Weird, one CC provider said NTT was responsible for this. I don't know CC to use NTT.  They certainly haven't recently at least in LA.  Blend out there for them looks to be HE and Zayo.

    Colocrossing Network down in Los Angeles and Other Locations

    Fair and honest question, but are CHI, ATL, LA, and NY all locations where they converted to their own rolled network instead of using facility bandwidth? I wager my bet on those being own rolled network locations. I know LA is own rolled network as per earlier research and routes compared to...

    http://bayimg.com/iaaJIAaFN http://bayimg.com/IAajKaAFn http://bayimg.com/iAajlAAFn http://bayimg.com/iaaJMAaFN Question always has been if other locations were as poorly wired.  No doubt that they ran the same old school routers with same round robin balancing on uplinks. They supposedly...

    Colocrossing Network down in Los Angeles and Other Locations

    Which location? That's right kids, CC dumped Quadra's BW a few months back and has at last check almost single homed self rolled network.  I believe it was nLayer in one direction barely at times and mostly Zayo everywhere else.

    Colocrossing Network down in Los Angeles and Other Locations

    So, ColoCrossing appears to be having a rather large outage. Roughly an hour or more downtime.    Definitely out in Los Angeles at Quadranet. Other locations folks are mumbling about being down in as well. What are you seeing?

    Hey man, you're getting old.

    30, what a milestone Fran.  Nothing fun about bdays at that number and onward. Make the best of it though.  It's just a number young man! Do something nice for your parents, they made you ;) (and tolerated you all these years).

    Bahaha, that ugly.... ahhh nevermind.....  She didn't seem to respect the privacy of US citizens.. so people saying she's bad on the DropBox baord, yeah, I can't say I disagree. The future is self hosted or be self hosed.  Self hosted isn't a picnic walk.  Folks better get practicing.  Install...

    Online.net Tests Dedicated ARM Server Cloud

    That was simple division.  I can't see them running 96 port switches with spare 20 ports....  They are available and all, but probably not.  Switching costs would really add up versus 24's which are rather cheap. Interesting mix / model.   @DomainBop to my ADD rescue with the info.   I...
