    ColoCrossing Datacenter in the Basement or in the Parking Garage?

    Unsure what they did there - if they modified existing home or built new. They just had grand opening there what? Last fall? If you compare the Loopnet photo to the blueprint, do you get vaguely what they were/are planning?

    ColoCrossing Datacenter in the Basement or in the Parking Garage?

    So, ColoCrossing seems to be diversifying in Buffalo.  News the other day that they are getting more rack space from another provider in the same downtown large compound.  Seems like a hedge to me as they might have both fear of their current provider and perhaps limited on space in existing...

    TrueCrypt under Windows is NOT SECURE - "unfixed security issues"

    This... 1) NSA identified the developers 2) NSL'd the developers 3) Developers preferred to "warrant canary" and kill the project instead of complying fully. I can see that being the situation in a big way

    Buffalo Shill Shell Companies

    and... oddly... www.enigmagroup.org bears currently an ad on their homepage for tinycloud.net, a brand that is related to DollarVPS/owned by the same people. In the site HTML code for engima:  http://content.enigmagroup.org/clients/tinycloud.swf The ad is for a $6 a year 128MB VPS from...

    So this is from roughly January 10th, 2013, and is taken from a hacking forum called engimagroup.org. The post is by an administrator of that forum by the name of psychomarine. Source: http://www.enigmagroup.org/forums/general-hacking/hacking-safety/5/ DollarVPS.com is one of the m!n!vps.us...

    Buffalo Shill Shell Companies

    Both.  I am trying to write automated agents to do some of the "scanning" and storing of masses of data for later analysis.  Slow going there. In this case, I saw $4 a year and that's a clue something is wrong.  So I looked at the WHOIS info and what datacenter the offer was in, IP...

    Buffalo Shill Shell Companies

    I only glanced at the low end, but saw there were issues with some ad they ran over there....  there are other offers/posts in places that have been pulled for this shady ripoff of a company. Like usual, I think this is just the meat of the matter and there is more lurking, perhaps more related...

    Buffalo Shill Shell Companies

    (parts redacted to help protect the legitimate brand!) It appears we have another Buffalo shell company that looks dirtier than most. There have been some mentions here and there of crazy annual pricing from name-ripoff m!n!vps.us.  Something like $4 annual OpenVZ horror.  A cursory whois...

    TrueCrypt under Windows is NOT SECURE - "unfixed security issues"

    Yeah Apple did much better in the 2014 report.  Unsure if the scandals caused the change or if they figured out how to falsely comply to save face. I protest and avoid both Microsoft and Apple.

    TrueCrypt under Windows is NOT SECURE - "unfixed security issues"

    It's a Microsoft product.   Do I need to say anything more than that?

    TrueCrypt under Windows is NOT SECURE - "unfixed security issues"

    Fresh off the paranoid presses, TrueCrypt has security issues and looks now to be dead and unsupported. source: http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/ The issue revolves around Microsoft dumping support for old version and BitLocker becoming Microsoft's crypto stuff. Oddly, even the Linux download...

    How to Install OpenVZ and Getting Started

    Can someone who deals with OVZ daily and installations point out what the compatibility/kernel issues are that make Debian problematic?  Is the problem that OVZ is lagging behind with older kernels certified?

    Writing a DB-Oriented Web App - Platform?

    Not a very complicated system. No framework needed for this one unless for some reason you are already happy and proficient with one.  As for your data de-duplication, you are normalizing the data into respective silos - like breaking Marvel out to publishers. While daunting, perfecting the...

    How to Install OpenVZ and Getting Started

    I am interested in setting up a testing server internally for OpenVZ.  There are lots of times where having full access to such might prove insightful. Looking to install OpenVZ on a fresh Debian latest release. Someone have an install process/howto they currently follow for Debian + OpenVZ?

    Best way to benchmark test environments for real-world load?

    What you probably are after is response times and minimizing such.  As opposed to how many static documents will this config crap out in 30 seconds. Testing is another black art and optimization is the cousin black art. A resource you could spend the next month looking and learning from...

    Best way to benchmark test environments for real-world load?

    Well, the best thing to bench against is actual data, which you have.  Port it over to dev. Folks swear by ApacheBench, but it's ancient and sheer repetitive throughput that tests mainly cached elements normally (after first request). You need something with dynamic URL testing and way to...

    PHP/MySQL Help Needed - Count rows with the same value in one column and checking for value in anoth

    Well this isn't elegant.  A DBA would snap an answer out in a quicky :) SELECT DISTINCT(number) FROM joe WHERE number IN (SELECT number FROM joe WHERE letter = 'c') AND number NOT IN (SELECT number FROM joe WHERE letter <> 'c'); That will give you the records only containing the letter 'c'...
