    How do you monitor your vps uptime?

    Kimsufi uses RTM.  It's installed at /usr/local/rtm (on Debian) and runs a cron job every 60 seconds.  The run time is only a second when the cron runs so you probably won't notice it in a list of running processes.

    Please, get rid of mtwiscool.

    Vultr SMTP restriction requirements are unreasonable

    I hope they're not keeping scans of both the front and back on file (with the CVV number on those scans) because that would be a violation of credit card industry rules. OVH, Hetzner, and many others ask for 2 forms of ID (front of credit card, photo ID, utility bill, etc) when an account is...

    Shit Doesn't Always Float...Sometimes It Sinks

    HudsonValleyHost Spamming the Helpdesk

    That's my general gripe about any type of SPAM, whether it's email SPAM, comment SPAM, ticket/contact form SPAM etc.  SPAM=decreased productivity due to the time spent dealing with it (not to mention other associated costs in the battle against SPAM). The total cost of dealing with it add up to...

    eBay hacked. Change your password.

    Both the eBay and PayPal web sites have had several XSS vulnerabilities in the past...a few of which went unnoticed or unpatched for lengthy periods of time.  Back in 2005-2006 there was a XSS vulnerability in eBay auction listing pages that eBay was notified about and didn't bother to patch for...

    Email spam annoys me but spam submitted through the ticket systems or contact forms of my websites tends to really piss me off, and the companies that market this way are almost uniformly shit.

    Mergers and Acquisitions Monday - Twitch.tv + Google and DirecTV + AT&T

    IBM paid $2 billion for a reliable cloud services provider named Softlayer last June but their marketshare is still nowhere close to Amazon.  Rackspace currently has a market cap of $5 billion so IBM is probably one of the few cloud players who could afford to acquire them.
