I am holding on waiting for Ubuntu to roll their mobile phone/OS/tablet.... I am not sold on the whole app world, but are some good ones out there.   Clearly a tablet with Linux and not Android would be awesome and less paranoid about.  Not perfect, just better.

I am with you on that... Phone is purely wifi-only and disconnected from the borg and filtered on the LAN in ongoing effort to detect leakage :)  I just use these phones and tablets when untethering from the desk. Notifications mainly. My out of the house emergency phone is indeed a dumb phone :)

 Samsung Galaxy Victory - looks to be rolled out with an Android 2.x OS... not rooted either is it? 

But the Nexus 10 is nowhere near cheap.  Crazy what some folks spend on these toys... I was a restaurant yesterday and a whole table of 20-somethings talking about how nearly each and everyone one of them drowned/destroyed a smartphone.  Typical pedestrian stuff - death by drowning being the...

You outing Obama again Aldryic?

There is a name for that behavior when horses start chewing up the stalls and such.  It's called cribbing and is caused by nutrient deficiencies. Pregnant women are notorious for the same crazy behavior.

My kick about beater Droid phone committed suicide the other day.  Purely for wifi use...  Leaving me contemplating moving over to a more modern Android tablet instead. Looking for recommendations for Android tablets that use 4.x OS, have bluetooth, have wifi (they all do I think) and comes...

I miss both Florida and my soul of a state, Texas, but only this time of the year :)   I've often wondered why humans today are so stupid as to not migrate in the winter.   Spare me the entire economic thing :)   As the Northeast and other freezer sections continue to be challenged by...

Well it sounds like Steam just gets tossed in VPN due to iptables. Have you tried closing Steam out and starting it fresh to see if it is just an artifact of the pre-VPN info? Sometimes stuff like this is a  PITA and doing an SSH tunnel + SOCKS is the cleanest and safest thing. Find if SOCKS...

"steam" - the gaming platform thing ehh? How does Steam handle proxy or SOCKS?  Is there an explicit option to config it to utilize such?  I'd look there first and see if option is available.  Then, if so, shove Steam over an SSH tunnel to that VPS.  Wireshark it for sanity sake :)

Gnarly cable destruction. You lads are lucky it wasn't worse than that.  Pretty good scorching on the plug side :( Wondering the gauge and what the core of that cable is made from... (as I check all my cables this afternoon)

Fncking Ald and Fran,  I know you guys pulled the server plug when I hit submit.   Not wanting my next response on this thread... Oh yeah... 

Geez Mao, just geez! "BuyVM is sinking" --- I don't think they are.   They are doing better than probably ever.  Ignore their stock control and the jokes around that.  Fact is NJ has been strong for them - great facility at Choopa/Reliable.  Plus note their big investment in SSDs, storage...

Incero doesn't natively offer IPV6.

Ahh all good!   I've seen your looking glass for a while.  Quite popular in the VPS world.   Been a point of contention slightly with compress-able files.   So good to see the new "randomized" data files forthcoming so I can stop picking at flawed speed tests :) Sorry about your arm.  Some sort...

I like phone support, as a customer, when and if I ever need it. As much as I hate phones, I keep a simple VOIP line for various contacts/customers/etc. just in case.

"Google Voice as it is ending in May" What's up with this?   Was there some official announcement that they are shuttering Google Voice?

  wget mcmyhost.net/benchmark.sh -O - -o /dev/null|bash  That's the upgraded/updated freevps script.  Mainly more download test sites  (some are broken)

I am interested!   Tell me more or PM me if more appropriate. Python is fine / runs everywhere.

@willie, how were those mk808's?  Work well?   Long been interested in them / newer models.  Haven't tinkered with one yet.
