    A note about "Verified Providers"

    Still laughing at this one :) I am all for giving people a few chances, with proper timeouts in between for reflection on their ahh shortcomings. Problem with everything I recommend and this, really comes down to the software stack and integration time + costs + complexity. Gets me to...

    A note about "Verified Providers"

    You know my big position on the Verified Status is to truly make it something the lousy and shady providers fear and those that play by the rules benefit from. There is inferred risk and liability in anything where publishing, gate keeping, etc. is being done.   As heavy as WHT is moderated and...

    A note about "Verified Providers"

    Only problem is search too often is gamed in similar ways.  WHT has ongoing issues and a war on shillers.  People still are gaming things there too due to high visibility and income potential.

    A note about "Verified Providers"

    The boil down to such a status from my own perspective is some endorsement by the site (even if not intended by Mann).  That is effort was put into at time of verifications, substantiating that said provider operates legally, responsibly and does mostly right by common practices involving...

    Does GVH kill torrent processes?

    Process hunting like this is somewhat intrusive and many frown about it.    Usually it's simply avoided by renaming your daemon :)

    Seagate Drives

    Yes sir. This is why I won't buy Seagates any longer. I have a total of 4 drives sitting here on my desk which are in various states of failure.  2 are USB 3.5 models and 2 are 3.5 desktop versions -- all 1TB or greater. All have little to no use on them. One I clearly unpacked and installed...

    i want to provide $1 per year vps's

    Instead of trolls here on vpsB, we need elves --- who make cookies in a tree. I am going to miss this thread.  It made me smile, lots.  Continue...

    IP Address usage

    That bullshit NDA at last check offers no disclosure liability of your customer data. Unsure what ARIN may long be doing with such and don't like that irresponsible approach to things. Also... Many markets are springing up for IPv4 sales, leasing, rentals, etc.  Those late to the IP party or...

    i want to provide $1 per year vps's

    As places like india have people who want to larn about hosting things in liunx but don't have the money. Why do industrialized nation folks think like this?  The extremely poor in India do not need a VPS, they need heating/cooking fuel, they need sanitation, they need access to markets, access...

    Contract Workers (1099 Status) vs. Real Employees

    Well, there are exceptions and still can be murky. Working at a place with a schedule they set?   That's employment relationship, as an employee. Could be a community non profit type place and misusing volunteer status.  That comes to mind here... Perhaps the laws in your country are...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    All the regulations encourage mentoring and apprenticeships with proper paper work in place and permission where such minors are working regularly.  Your own children are somewhat exempt within limits. If the neighborhood geek spends an hour now and then randomly aside you learning, that's...

    vpsBoard Random Downtime

    Any rhyme or reason to when the problems are occurring?  For instance, seeing such more often around top of the hour? like :00 - :05?  I know there was a matter relating thereto, some hours involving backups/dumps. PHP like in most places is problematic.  Tuning more workers and other...

    i want to provide $1 per year vps's

    I like this...  Saw the same drumming of threads on the other communities.  It isn't by accident, nor 'unintentional'.   I usually frown about heavy handedness, but in this instance, I say good.

    Privacy concerns over CGNAT?

    CGNAT is one IP on public side and internally mapped/referenced IPs... No? Tracking users in these systems is certainly comprehensive.  Every other aspect of the infrastructure and the deployment specs and regs are burdensome. As a customer, generally, long overdue to always tunnel, hell...

    vpsBoard Random Downtime

    Well, at least you both are adults.  :) But I don't think Curtis plays fiddle or likes fiddling unless it's a dark haired Senorita. But I know he likes some downright good 'Murica fiddle picking.

    i want to provide $1 per year vps's

    First you have to fund your own stupid ideas. You know and others here know about container limits on such pitiful hardware, as you all have tried 30 ways to Sunday to rack, pack  and overstack containers in virtualized environments.   Even on big RAM and many-cores, 1000 containers? Most sane...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    Evil kaniini, flogging of minors, the poor child labor workers. Sounds like some artifact of slavery. Squeeky wheel getting greased on this thread.

    Contract Workers (1099 Status) vs. Real Employees

    Day to day I have 60+ employees I oversee. Years ago, a chunk of them were 1099'd.  The suits we pay recommended stopping that practice and putting them straight as employees, due to pesky regulations. The boil down on whether you are a consultant or employee for me goes like this: 1. Do you...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    This thread is one that keeps giving the more I read :) Bahahah Fabozzi has a sock in his mouth.  You have a man-boy crush on Chris, admit it. You think CC wants more bad coverage when they are trying to buy their spot on INC 5000 self inclusion paid list?   Do you think with IPV4 run down...
