    Anyone have $50 million I can borrow?

    Bahaha... CC and $50 million?   No way Strout. Total CC income (likely includes brands you know like HudsonValleyHost, ChicagoVPS, BlueVM, 123Systems, etc.) in 2013, was $6~ million.  That's money in the door pre-costs. So let's do some sloppy math... 700k IPs @ $10 each = $7.5 million~ 1-1...

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    Meh, not quite... Bitpay will attract good and bad.... Majority of humans use PayPal for such payments..  Not offering it or something that accepts it, will limit your buyers greatly.

    [Topic Split] Budget Services

    Why not just get a mail server package then?  Email only. Secondly, cPanel offers are to be considered.  Plenty of cheap options.. One from here that comes to mind: OP never said what he uses said mail server for and perhaps English as a second language is creating some of the confusion. ...

    VPS Resellers

    I'd say many places offer #2. Resource pooling and division sounds conceptually lucrative for a reseller.  Overall, likely a PITA to manage for the providing company. Custom plans, yucky. There is quite a bit of complexity to any such offers while trying to combat fraud and dishonesty. I am a...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    I tether mine to a wall power plug that has 2 USB ports on it.... I've ran it on 4 AA batteries before...  and I have a cheap piece of junk USB power pack that I've ran the Pi on also... A battery with charger trickle charging could be a good mix of everything.

    LET forgot password (or create new user) doesn't work

    If they unfucked their spam network and blacklists, that would require kicking out their spam customers... Me, I think they need such shithead spam customers to stay afloat financially. Now mind you, this isn't some theory of  mine.   I recall recently on LET they were chatting up about hiring...

    NSA classifies Linux Journal readers, Tor and Tails Linux users as "extremists"

    Frankly, I am surprised the tested US students ranked as highly as they did.   The US is very much about underperforming to massively underperforming districts (that tend to be massive student headcount wise) ... Urban districts are notoriously crappy in most places. They are offset by suburban...

    NSA classifies Linux Journal readers, Tor and Tails Linux users as "extremists"

    There is truth to this, although coming from the other side of the table. It's established POLICY in many police departments to intentionally NOT HIRE anyone with above average intelligence.  To this effect, many PDs have been hiring for past decade or more average or below average officers...

    NSA classifies Linux Journal readers, Tor and Tails Linux users as "extremists"

    So all my fellow paranoid foil crafters... More leaks about the alphabet terror agencies targetting you innocent failure to opt into total surveillance.. NSA classifies Linux Journal readers, Tor and Tails Linux users as "extremists" Are you a Linux Journal reader or use software such as Tor...

    Burst.net UK - Sold right? Why is UKFast Dropping BurstNet Customers?

    Could be the IPs as well - if Burst UK had received an allocation in the past / own IP block. UKFast, for being outwardly such a big company isn't sitting on many IPs with their own allocation: http://bgp.he.net/AS34934#_asinfo IPs Originated (v4): 50,944 Someone metioned that current EU IP...

    Just buy one of the very overused templates 30 other providers use :) Definitely need to window dress the website better.

    Burst.net UK - Sold right? Why is UKFast Dropping BurstNet Customers?

    Maybe you lads in the UK versed in structures and deals can theorize what UKFast is up with this and why... Things work differently in such matters elsewhere... I am rather dumbfounded by UKFast's actions on this one...

    Happy Birthday, America.

    I ended up on the wrong continent dining...  Partook in some Mexican.  Bless their illegal alien asses for being open when nothing else was, save Walmart which I continue to avoid/boycott. The locals reminded me why I need to get looking and find myself a farm already.  G'damn loud.  Yes, ole...

    Burst.net UK - Sold right? Why is UKFast Dropping BurstNet Customers?

    Then at the very end of July 2013, Burst announced the UK subisidiary acquisition by UKFast , which went like this:

    Burst.net UK - Sold right? Why is UKFast Dropping BurstNet Customers?

    So when Burst.net bailed on their UK provider, they jumped to UKFast with 24 hours notice to customers... This was just a nick over 1 year ago:

    How to apply as a volunteer for a provider?

    Based on the nature of what transpired...  The OP put private info out on public forum cause he was mad that he was shun... Yeah,  laws government meat and potatoes really aren't on OP's side.   Even if such were slightly different, there are jurisdiction matters.   Doubt the lad  is going to...

    Burst.net UK - Sold right? Why is UKFast Dropping BurstNet Customers?

    Well it has been a year or so since Burst.net's UK assets were "sold".  I am quoting sold at this point, because although that is what was sold to us via press, it seems like something is afoul. This is part of an email that went out to UKFast/Burst.net UK customers: Why are they - UKFast...

    Freshmeat / Freecode goes dark

    I know we have a lot of open source and coding folks. One of my old favorites - Freshmeat (more recently rebadged as Freecode) has discontinued service. The site is now being mothballed. Effective 2014-06-18 Freecode is no longer being updated (content may be stale). and they said: So...

    Happy Birthday, America.

    Not sleeping today like usual as the so called humans play with their boom sticks.... Like most holidays in the States, I think I'll partake in some Indian buffet.  While Indians around here might suck behind the helpdesk, they make some fine food. Holidays haven't done much for me in a long...

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    I don't think it's a big secret but many of us more visible members here aren't fond of HF or FreeVPS stuff. So GVH can include freebies to their huddled masses.  We send them away from here... Him picking them all up and housing and clothing and feeding them, yeah, that would spite us....  Go...
