    What local DNS servers are you using?

    Not to deter folks, but Opennic,  I went there and they recommend some servers to you - your local servers: Your nearest DNS servers are: 107.170.95.180 (NY, US) 75.127.14.107 (NY, US)   75.127.14.107 = ChicagoVPS.  Using something like that kind of defeats the whole privacy thing and...

    What local DNS servers are you using?

    Opennic is cool, just the servers in the past have tended to come and go too often.   I need to jump in there and get a server running right and stick it there for a long haul for folks. Google = they can die in a fire.  I trust Kim Jong Un more than Google.  I'd use North Korea government...

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    I received the DAC I ordered today from a small single operator in Canada, ehh. The DAC Destroyer is the name of the product.  I liked that the guy self manufacturers/assembles by hand and has been doing so since at least 2008. Plugged it into Linux, changed one config file for ALSA.  Had to...

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

    5 on the upload side?  Yeah the local telcos don't offer such speeds, nor do the cable companies most of us suffer under.  Exceptions are their newest McRipoff plans and fiber.  Don't go trying to get Static IPs or business access from the incumbents either.  Unless you like being robbed.

    What local DNS servers are you using?

    That's what I tend to plunk as my DNS resolvers at the end of the stack.  I front end everything with DNSMASQ and randomly mix in some non-plaintext - encrypted DNS depending. Google can die in a fncking fire.   I see so much traffic for their shit from Android devices and every other nasty...

    Beat the pants out of the cable / telco lack of throughput duopoly I call home and pay 2x+ for ahhh... I won't even say how pitiful my upstreams are.   I probably move packets faster and with less errors with a urine stream.

    TrueCrypt Officially Dead... Now Going to Be Reborn as CipherShed

    We had a couple of threads on vpsBoard about TrueCrypt and most notoriously in May roughly when their site was "defaced" labeling TrueCrypt as insecure. Well under the different license created by the Truecrypt author(s) one could fork the project, but can't make reference to the original. So...

    GlusterFS on the WAN

    Been eons since I mucked with Gluster. Expecting much performance out of anything --- especially where distance and crypto is involved is wishful thinking in the States. 4MB/s is nothing to sneeze at in a shared environment and where downstream in the el cheapo world of hosting and QoS. Tried...

    Cloud.net - 30% to 90% discount codes!

    This gets annoying for the OP, but can you provide the datacenters with these?   We usually carpet whip the information out of other offering companies.   Just trying to be fair and all.  Some DCs out there I am interested in buying from and others I won't give away to folks for free.

    BlueVM's domain name was hijacked

    Well I am bumping this.... Has Namecheap admitted their fault for the BlueVM domain hijack? Lots of results in the Google machinery for Namecheap and variations of this general topic: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=namecheap+hijacked Google even rapid auto-completes for...

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

    Well, this porkject was government payoff reshuffling.   It was a tax on the gambling industry that bankrolled the metro fiber.  Unsure if there has been ANY real local chip in.  Ideally someone else can reference that info to confirm either way. Their main website fails to address any of the...

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

    Although the fiber - most of it dark [unlit and unused] hasn't panned it for lINKCity, the city appears to continue to finance deficits from a gambling funded stash.  Inevitably, the fiber will see a ROI / local utility justification or it will be liquidated and that money likely thrown into a...

    Time management

    Count yourself as very fortunate in multiple ways. Mates can be good like this where said mate tends to the home rather than toiling in the workforce.  That's you provide the financials and she rules the nest.   It has its limits though and when things break down, those relationships get ugly...

    Time management

    Other thing I'll throw in here is to weigh your work arrangement(s).   Full time work is nice on cash, but by the time you get done with the self thrapy of buying this and that, spending on things you wouldn't sanely otherwise, etc.  you will find a massive hit to working fulltime at your...
