    Breaking: Burstnet Strategically Defaulted on Leases, Debt Obligations and Data Center Lease - Court

    I smell more clarity on this matter coming and way before Burst has a web conference and woos folks with visuals and feel good crap. It's time.    That Customer Support DWEEB Faccone better wake up and stop spinning lies on what went down. Documents and reality coming overnight into the morning.

    Mini VPS Control Panel in bash

    I could only wish to be like the aforementioned BASH gods... Truth be told, mastering coding isn't in my tea leaves.   I hack away at what I need to do, as ugly as it may be.   BASH gets my love since really low on requirements and breakage.  Just put some checksums at runtime for requirements...

    No Disparagement Clauses

    Like it or not, it's simple age old contract law.   You agreed to it. Nonetheless, I welcome the stupid in this industry to bring it, so I can wine stomp their grapes.

    Any unique web hosts?

    SolusVM still gets a bad wrap due to the mythical security issues made famous most notably by multiple compromises to ChicagoVPS.  Now those compromises likely, as with many other companies in the sh!tend segment are due to disgruntled former "employees" and random skids given carte blanche...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Welcome Wyatt, another transparent provider :)  Where is my transparencyTM trademark  since I've been pushing that term for multiple years in the segment? Overselling is fine. Not overselling is self imposed lean business that may not be sustainable, but depends on your underlying costs as well...

    Potential employer not mailing back

    I mailed them back my rough expectations, which were actually a bit below going rate for someone with comparable skill set/exp. Money part gets bad and often disconnect there.   They should already know going rates. This is interrelated to the often used excuse about an applicant being...

    Potential employer not mailing back

    Well I've been on both sides of the table and in big ways. Here's the deal, if they are public offering the job today then they are inundated with applicants and the back and forth. I don't have a tool for it, but concept borrowed from other old school professionals.  The concept is called the...

    Lowend Colo

    I raise my hand on this. Dallas --- county there has this BS tax.  Unsure if other counties have followed suit.  I know facility in Plano I dealt with didn't have this. As for Dallas, they can die in a fire.  I tried interacting with the assh0les at the assessment office for a client.   The...

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    1. Is DDoS Protection important to you? Does it add value to the service you are buying from? It's an addon.  In lowend* it's life support usually for their own services.  Nice to have available. 2. What is your personal favorite - OpenVZ or KVM? KVM since typically it is honest resources...

    ColoCrossing, Quick to Get Large IP Blocks Issued and Faster to Soil Them

    I feel for BlueVM... Simple solution in theory is just doing what cPanel and other shared hosting does, but at a VPS / upper level -- iptables perhaps?   and limit the number of SMTP outbound operations per hour. By doing such, won't be appealing to mass spam operations and damages will be...

    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps

    Folks here like to lure me and have me spend days on these ideas :) Cruel. Been using x2go.   I can't speak highly enough of it.  1GB VPS with 1GB of swap.... Runs better than my idiotic old dumb-like terminals which I run the client from. Blows VNC away, way more responsive.   Plus it's...

    Any wine drinkers?

    What's funny is I probably could drink fermented dung and fermented gasoline and be fine.... Sulfides though bad, don't really bother me... And alcohol in general I have a rather high tolerance for. But mead, unsure what it is about it.  A small couple ounce juice/sampling cup of it makes me...

    Lowend Colo

    That's been my line and schtick for years.... Oplink :) That's the Houston DC I was pointing at :) Glad to see endorsement.  Any idea of what their current upstreams are?  Pricing at last glance on specials was LOW.

    No Disparagement Clauses

    Well contracts are contracts.  You can agree to sacrifice your first born and provide sexual favors for free too if you'd like. Let the lowend* emulate this.   I'll gladly slaughter any company lowend or not that adheres to this bullshit precedent of corporate bullying. Who is first?
