    Free Public DNS resolver list (public DNS servers)

    I've long used Level 3's :)  But that's coming to an end.... Comodo Secure DNS sounds interesting. HE's offering might fit the bill, if I can find it....

    BuyVM ColoCrossing Bye Bye Hello Choopa Move Today!

    Been quiet, but I've been mostly away from the machine today. Any chatter on their IRC or elsewhere about successful handoff of gear and safe arrival in New Jersey?

    Servers in unusual locations

    No way, someone named their company that :) Wow.    Sounds like bad advertising for low end sex worker firm.

    Recommend boooks on LInux for Beginners

    Welcome @TSX,  best way to learn is by watching folks in the trenches and observing how things are done. What are you interested in learning / wanting to do currently?  Maybe I can point you towards some things. Books, ehh, aren't really great for sysadmin stuff.   At least that's my take...

    BuyVM ColoCrossing Bye Bye Hello Choopa Move Today!

    "rough ETA of 2000h (8pm EST) before gear starts coming back online - in reality, it will likely be sooner than this as we're intentionally overestimating travel and rack time to anticipate any unforseen trouble." Next major incident, let me write the whole timeline for you :) Wonder how they...

    Website page capture --- online and as it was

    What services do folks recommend for capturing website/pages as they were at a certain point in time? Looking for something that stores the pages as they were (no image capture version) and hosts the whole thing online for public sharing. What do you like currently?

    KWDatacenter: http://www.kwdatacentre.com/kitchenerdatacentre.php But, that's at 151 Front Street in Toronto.  6 story brick building. Seems like their datacenter specializes in VMWare. I will note their network this evening is performing like utter crap.

    Free Public DNS resolver list (public DNS servers)

    Now that Level 3 supposedly is capturing and redirecting folks to their search monetization page on failed lookups, thought it was a good time to introduce other DNS resolver / DNS server options. Opennic - http://www.opennicproject.org/ Different locations all over.  Ran by members.  Many...

    BuyVM - Leaving Buffalo Early

    What's the good news in BuyVM land?   Everything going smooth?  Server handoff happen without any ugliness? ETA for NJ and being back online still all seeming realistic?

    They are backed/owned by a long established Canadian company.  A real company with offices, real estate, etc.  They have/own a 7k sq. foot datacenter or datacenter build out.  So this isn't a McOpenVZ $69 rental hit and run accident "company". It's indeed in Canada.  IPs also geolocate to...

    Level3 Public DNS Servers - Search Engine Redirect

    Well that was inevitable. My browser likes to be helpful and pass fubard stuff to search engine for helping.  So I see that instead of DNS redirect. Solution to these DNS redirects is a bit foggy.   Have to stuff DNSMASQ or other DNS piece in middle and intercept their bogus IP result to point...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    So anyone out there use their Raspberry Pi for simple MP3 playing/streaming? Interested in knowing if that speedy co-processor for media can/will/does also do MP3 offloading.  Interested in using one to decode an  audio stream (ideally on co-processor) so the wimpy CPU can be used to actually...

    Ahh more: From their blog... "CloudAtCost is privately funded, and will seek to remain so. The reason ? To maintain our mission and vision. We are part of a group who has been in the internet/telecom business for 20 years (yikes – I never thought I would say I did anything for 20 years !)...

    Final observations: 1. No Terms of Service. 2. No Privacy Policy. 3. "CloudAtCost is a part of the Fibernetics Group of companies."    But yet in the page it says: " We are partnered with Fibernetics, a national carrier and ISP in Canada." Is CloudAtCost owned by Fibernetics, invested in by...
