... and CC's ranking continues to increase. Officially up to 4th place now with 54 known spam issues. CC's spam issues continue to ahh, amaze me.   The full spectrum of their spam enterprise still are graphically undocumented and I think that I am underselling both their capabilities and sheer...

  B2Net = ServerMania.   It's similar dual name game with them like ColoCrossing/Velocity.  Just different operating names for units / over time.   Considering how tightly wound B2Net is with CC, it is funny seeing them broke out with other Spamhaus entries not on the CC list.   ServerMania...

The LET thread grinding Spamhaus is curious.  Well written, but mostly blah, baseless.  The merits of the arguments are dropboxes for mail and incorporation mills, which are entirely implication point for most hosting companies and a good chunk of incorporations in general.  Heck shining light...

I went, I looked, and I saw:

(originally posted over on WebhostingTalk) ColoCrossing Achieves Top 5 Rank Places in Top 1% of all Networks Globally FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Buffalo, NY – June 11, 2014 -ColoCrossing.com, a leading provider of scalable internet hosting solutions, and an Inc. 5000 Honoree,  announced today...

Good upgrades :) Glad to see Staminus in and CNServers out. Hopefully with Staminus better reporting and long term maybe able to tell customers when they are under attack and similar matters.  Cause, black boxes that just work, work until they don't and prior with CNServers (including with...

... and the Raspberry Pi floating point works if you run Raspbian OS.  Off to check what I have running there (probably Debian).

Good to know / realize. Most of the new ARM stuff I am considering are A8's or newer. I am going to have to hunt their communities looking for folks to run some tests to see how said gear does on the encoding. Turns out the Raspberry Pi DOES have a floating point co-processor.  But, unsure if...

Yeppers, I am a big fan / proponent of apprenticeships. I remember back when Ian (owner of TacticalVPS) was new around here.  He was looking for such opportunities in an existing company.  I don't think anyone took him up on his offer. In-house people :) bahahaha that rare luxury and qualified...

It's nice to see jurisdications with free services.. I wish :)  Also nice to see DIY filing options.  US filings can be done like that, but no one seems to.

Assumption at play here that the job running truly is pegging CPU and that is a problem. MySQLdump and other common utilities truly don't explode CPU to dumb levels, it's the IO silly. I guarantee the CPU blow up is based on IO bottleneck.  IO always goes boom first (at least on hardware so...

This may be entirely true.  There is quite a bit to know to get things running "right" pre-sales. Honestly, I don't know how many folks manage it. I am the first to admit when I don't know something.  In this industry, that would be a breath of fresh air and good change. Definitely need...

I'd try an out of case mp3 encoder chip solution in a hearbeat if I could identify a reasonably low cost unit with docs for Linux. Vorbis I haven't tried yet.  It appears to have same default floating point dependencies it seems.  But it's on my list to experiment with since it is under current...

I found or rather refound the shine port of LAME right after posting this.   It's ancient.  Talking late 1990's I do believe.  It's meh unless dealing with high bitrate (which I am not in this instance).  But, it's roughly 2-3x faster than recent LAME on ARM platforms. Helix I stumbled into. ...

I threw the task out to our tax guy who looks at these things and keeping us straight.  He's not the run of mill tax preparer. It ends up costing a bit more, but he sorts out benefits and warns of gotchas. LLC filing for current entity. Downside is the guy is so busy that things happen about...

So... amazing to me that in mainline Linux there doesn't appear to have been much improvement or development of MP3 encoding in past few years. OGG and others - open are getting platform attention.  Considering testing their codecs to see how encoding time and quality are. Offloading to GPU...

Offloading to GPU sounds interesting.  Unsure if anything really supports it.  LAME in general is just retarded.  Still doesn't support multiple cores.  There is a Windows derivative someone has made multithreaded, but I don't do Windows. As for the project, it is a bunch of stuff.  Generic top...

No doubt about it @.  Considering the impressive performance on many Android devices involving media (set-top boxes, tablets, phones, etc.) something must be accelerating the decoding.  Ideally something out there with hardware support for MP3 or other competing audio codecs for the encode and...

I have considered the new release Atoms.  Problem is form factor and power.  Smallest board with those is a mini itx (which is big for my application and embedding). Performance per watt is good on those, but constant power draw minimum is too high. Intending on running these off grid via...
