    Xclusive Tech Thoughts?

    Well the dedicated server page: 1. $185/mo for a 4GB of RAM box???? That's $100 overpriced. 2. All the other plans are likewise overpriced. 3. Shop #6, Hopewell Office Complex Hopewell, Hanover, Jamaica W.I You folks are exactly where? 4. What datacenter are services from? 5. This...

    Self-hosted Distributed Storage

    Good luck with the bandwidth limiting.  In my experience, it doesn't seem to work in the latest release.   Interested if it actually does for you.   Could be it doesn't like my network setup, VPN, other stuff somehow.  Shouldn't have any bearing, but some things do break with such :) Ummm...

    Bash Remote Exploit (https://securityblog.redhat.com/2014/09/24/bash-specially-crafted-environment-v

    Trial by fire I say.     Eventually people will understand the house rules and Martin will seem less gruff :)   Sucks to lose a productive member, an articulate and technical member of the community over a thread hosing like was done. I vehemently disagree with censoring folks [exceptions -...

    Building a private (& personal) CDN

    DO and OneAsiaHost I can speak good about.   Used both for Asia in the past.  Both are fairly reliable and low issue operations.

    Verifying foreign accounts, how do you do it?

    Well there is no easy way to conquer this problem. If something is labeled/flagged you have to really know why.  If it is their VPN, high risk country status or something else. People up to no good go far lengths to commit fraud.  So an ID is the least of their to-do list that probably was...

    Self-hosted Distributed Storage

    I am experimenting with Seafile and Syncthing..  Seafile just bombed following a reboot - no clue what is up there.  Since coder dude, yeah I avoid such projects since inevitably such is too much for one lonesome guy to keep up with. Syncthing is getting my attention currently and it's nice...

    Colocrossing Achieves Top 5 Rank

    But all the young boys love Man-drill.    Unsure why Faboozle is using said upstream mail server directly.   Cause I suspect something changed in July-August. Back in July such spamtastic offers were NOT being brodcast from ServerCentral directly: Received: from pmta05.wdc01.mailchimp.com...

    Self-hosted Distributed Storage

    Other alternative to OwnCloud that doesn't get enough love... and it's more privacy focused: https://spideroak.com/

    BTSync - Bittorrent Sync file replication Mega Thread

    Good endorsement! Rough estimate on total chunk of disk shared?

    Self-hosted Distributed Storage

    Owncloud could be alright I suppose... I am apprehensive about the whole software stack to get it running and maintaining that.  Too many moving/breakable pieces for my patience. Last go round with OwnCloud I was rather underwhelmed with the actual finished user experience.   But this approach...

    Building a private (& personal) CDN

    Well,  have fun experimenting with that.  Clearly seek capability involves more overhead and management of the stream.  You will take a hit there... How big, well, someone with such currently deployed can speak to the scale and capacity from current use.  Should be fine, just can rack and stupid...

    Colocrossing Achieves Top 5 Rank

    I did notice at least ONE Spamhaus entry for ServerCentral that was due to ColoCrossing / Velocity / from IPs delegated to them. It's so bad at CC.... (joke)... How bad is is it?  It's so bad that ChicagoVPS is resorting to using ServerCentral's IPs: From a recent shill-a-rama email sales...

    Colocrossing Achieves Top 5 Rank

    Same shit, different day... Shame.... You'd think they'd cut the comedy, lock down the circus clowns, nut stomp their downstream shit operations.  Nah,  instead they continue to shit their pants in public. Time to change the soiled diapers on the toddlers in Buffalo. This...

    Building a private (& personal) CDN

    Well.... 1. CPU bottleneck.... old CPUs serving bits - no processing, no video server - just straight web server, yeah, shouldn't be a bottleneck.   At the point where that happens depends on size of files, number of files and how active the requests are.  You can move serious heaps of data on...

    Self-hosted Distributed Storage

    This is sort of why I am experimenting with BTSync, Syncthing, etc.  Approach is to take generic low resource machines and install said daemon and then configure the replication pool [directory of files to replicate and where to replicate them to]. This is an easier approach and suitable for...

    Does your VPS provider install patches in your container in stealth?

    Good question, can someone else confirm same experience with Vultr.  Perhaps the scheduled job hadn't ran yet??? What a nugget of info @SkylarM !   These are unauthorized changes to customer VPS.   Imagine the horror if such an update mass broke containers.   There would be the customer...

    Kansas City, Missouri Based Datashack gets into Gigabit Municipal ISP Business with FREE Services

    Interesting spot @MattKC  welcome aboard. Could be a mini boom for North Kansas City if they have affordable and vacant housing available.   Price of the fiber makes it a lure for technology focused folks and there aren't many places about to offer fiber to home. Definitely a strange town with...

    RTO Server

    That's an interesting play on the numbers :)  I like the approach. Glad to see some offers out of USSHC DC.

    Bash Remote Exploit (https://securityblog.redhat.com/2014/09/24/bash-specially-crafted-environment-v

    The no POC rule just is blah.  [MIND YOU: THIS SITE DOES NEED SOME BETTER AND CLEARER RULES] There are plenty of folks who are not security list worshippers with stuffed inboxes and regular time wasted micro-paranoid-analyzing each issue.  I count myself as one of those [been on the lists and...
