    Domain coupons for .com

    Anyone sitting on current .com registration promos they can share/promote?  Seems to be a sudden pull back by registries on discounts.

    Never use this of hosting company

    What?  Were you shopping over at VolumeDrive's website again :) ? There are so many companies that violate these few gotchas. Everyone else feel free to chime in with others.

    Monitors -- Features and What YOU Recommend

    . Oh, do tell about your UPS.  Self made, off grid or some sort of busted gear hack? 12V DC is like telco lite (typically 48V)

    Why is there no maximum wage

    No LA for me, never been fond of cities in Cali.  Did live in NYC for 6 months and that was quite enough :)

    new budget vps site - Budgetbox.net

    Provider operated sites should be for their support, not sales lead generator unless it is your corporate site. No offense, but me, I have a sharp pointed stick for anything that smells like what happened with LEB and LET.  This is a few steps classier conceptually but don't get too excited...

    Why is there no maximum wage

    Many sci-fi pieces have been wrote about this right? Fairly common concept that human herd most likely will be intentionally thinned in the future. I grew up in a steel producing town in the shadows of the smokestacks.   I saw massive and instant decline of an industry that seemed too big, too...

    Why is there no maximum wage

    I don't think it (this forum) is as diverse as an academic study operated in some laboratory setting claims to be.  But I don't believe it is as non-diverse as a church group in my neighborhood where half the parish is related to one another.   Heck, I am not even sure if we here blend...

    Why is there no maximum wage

    Change starts in your home, then with your neighbors, then the town, city, state. This is what everything comes down to that matters. This site is the neighborhood for some of my interests :) What's great about here and other broad online communities is the input from diverse people who live...

    Why is there no maximum wage

    I did the contractor route in the 1990's onward.  In fact, I still do between being a business owner. Contracting is running your own business-lite.  Both often (especially today) are extreme commits of your time (who is lying, 80 hours is a slacking week). As for revolutions,  people are in...

    TortoisLabs review

    "Tor hidden service operating on the node" TOS/AUP allow Tor, just not an exit node.   Take it the allegation is an exit node was there? Time all providers disallow Tor entirely.   Really has become an enormous mess. I feel for you big time dealing with the stress, workload, loss of income, etc.

    INIZ Doubles Bandwidth In Netherlands

    Glad to see INIZ doing more than all the RAM you can eat for $1 dance.   Free incoming bandwidth :)  Okay that's a real feature for some.

    [US, UK] TortoiseLabs vServer - 256MB RAM / 15GB DISK / 1000MBPS - $4.50/month

    Strong ad, nice features.   I *like* the flow of this ad.  This is one to point other providers towards to cover their bases.

    TortoisLabs review

    Good response @kaniini. How did the nodes being encrypted  give any leverage to quick return?  In my past encrypted data meant longer retention if not a long protracted court action to have the servers returned. Do you or can you recommend means of providing crypto of the entire VPS container...

    Virtualbox, run at reboot

    BTW: same registervm step seems to be need for for every container you have.    A little annoying, but I can deal with it :)

    Virtualbox, run at reboot

    Arrgh! VBoxManager likes to vomit and complain at first attempt: The fix for that: VBoxManage registervm /home/user/VirtualBox\ VMs/deleteme/deleteme.vbox Then try again: VBoxManage startvm deleteme Now we get: Hey it works! Time to shove that in CRON to spawn at reboot. Thanks @hcjake...

    TortoisLabs review

    Mind you, their offers interest me and indeed seem like right minded chaps. But.... Offline due to court order?  What? Hopefully this isn't the new fashionable thing to do, to explain away unplanned downtime.   I fail to see how court order means clients and business stop, but someone humor...

    vpsBoard advertisements and availability

    The ad solution is coming along.  MannDude can speak to particulars moreso. Know there was template modification two nights ago that may have contributed to 100% CPU and a reboot.  That's back to behaving and some graphics for the spots were made (mock up placeholders). All of that work is to...

    Virtualbox, run at reboot

    Someone a ways back pointed me at Virtualbox on here.  Using it for a few virtual containers mainly for appliances and VPS-like use locally. Little problem I have now is sustaining reboots.   Need Virtualbox to launch the instances on system reboot. Anyone know/use/familiar with how to...

    Why is there no maximum wage

    It's a fair question really.    When it comes to money, income and rights, eventually people who cranked long enough about toiling look back at the boss man and then say "let's punish him some more". Frankly, I do not believe in minimum wage.  Never should have been enacted in the States.  At...
