Oh we get to mule kick GreenValueHost .. count me in....  I'll mirror your mirror.

Yeah, they announced price increases I think prior to the move. Are these increases on top of those other increases? Considering NC just had downtime yesterday and still customers with unaccounted for servers and offline now for weeks, yeah, good luck. "Strive to be one of the lowest cost...

Scranton and Burst.net? Come on man, edit your ad already. Burst hasn't been in Scranton officially in many months.  

In coming months, I'll likely be putting the crazy disk RAID / SSD lust group to test with a real workload.  Still perfecting the entire job, but I've rolled it out before and it's brutal and that's just merely me moving in.  I'll even nice things and cap CPU.  So we'll see how slow CPUs are +...

Abandoning equipment of customers in location that is "unsecured" and unstaffed is ultimate sin. Folks should grow some testicles and slam Burst/DigiPlus to the floor for this stunt.  Put their asses in a Court and make them squirm.

Today, at least earlier, Burst/Digiplus was offline in both Los Angeles and North Carolina. Burst's end outcome still is unclear.  Amazing people are still offline from the move and gear unaccounted for. LA if not somehow bankrolled by some large customer like I've claimed will degrade and go...

This is taken from WHT and the mega Burst thread...  If you have a server with Burst.net and it hasn't been accounted for, it likely was abandoned/left behind:

^--- I am 100% on what Fran said.  The SSD DD games... haha I call what is going on FRAUD.  Some folks  have setups where DD speeds exceed the spec/capability of the underlying SSDs.  Figure that out. Also 100% on Damian's experience about being forgotten since not hanging out over there...

The poll is a ton of shilling.   Not run of the mill vote for me petitioning either.  Seen folks in the past asking their IRC homies for votes, heard of freebies for votes, I know cheating is going on. To my point, anyone with large enough votes cast and average vote value of 2.0 or above...

Haha! Someone said hire people.  That involves income, stability, realistic things.  That's rare in these parts. You can always leverage 3rd world labor (usually what folks do instead). Automation and heavy monitoring are the ticket to sanity. Outsourcing everything that isn't your competency...

Any business like this involves out of necessity leveraging liquidity. Right now, leveraging $0.    Networking is a necessity in a local project like this.  Otherwise your project will fail from lack of public awareness (you can't pay/afford for such), red tape (localities will stomp your...

No problem :)  Contact them anyways.   Odds are they are gateway to others in the county.  Usually it works this way. Networking goes a very long way with such things.   Might meet or get referred to a tower owner that magically waves your fees.  

No reason to a "non-profit".   Those entities I recommend, dole out money for local/regional projects.  May or may not be some investment available there. I saw the PTMP... Has it's limits / overhead.  Going to need tower locations for a few and they suck, believe me, I may know a bit too much...

$40k isn't shit.  Won't cover much gear, certainly won't cover many tower locations.   Looked at the price of tower space?  Build out costs at such locations?  Bandwidth at such locations?  It's rather expensive.  Lots of bureaucratic red tape, engineering documents, permits, etc. for such an...

That Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 is pretty awesome on screen :) Wonder if it will run Debian without raising a stinkfest.

"Currently 25 percent of all software developers are women, but only 3 percent work in free and open source software." Could it just be that women just aren't that g*d d@mn dumb to work for free? Men are prone to idealistic time wasters like coding and ahh hunting. Low ROI, giant time sink. I...

Explain that?  This gal did squat for bringing WOMEN into open source and did it at great cost to Gnome. Here's a further example of her wisdom: 5 tips for Bringing More Women into Open Source 1. Address women directly. 2. Accept non-students and non-coders. 3. Connect women with...

It gets funnier.... " One example I can easily point to is that Wikimedia had in the past only one woman apply for GSoC. After they participated in one round with OPW, they had 7 accepted GSoC students who were women. In the GNOME project, we've had a very visible changes. Women are...

So, Gnome tries to attract FEmales.  Utilizes them as interns.  All Clintonista cigar jokes aside... Sandler, the woman turns out to be a feminst.  Hmm... but she married a guy.... But she claims be both punk and a lawyer. Sounds kosher. Sad thing is she parachutted her ass over to here --->...
