    3D Printers, anyone have one yet?

    Okay, there are a few useful things in there I could use from time to time.  Like this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:47956 Any idea for anyone in the know what "printers" these designs will work with? How about the materials to print these -- what sort of costs and availability? Finally...

    BuyVM ToS Changes

    No doubt @texteditor that Tor is a trouble magnet.  Torrents though have ample issues themselves.    Nice to see support for both.  Juggling the inbound third party complaints, arggh!

    How do you secure your server(s)?

    @D. Strout hit my summary on the SSH lock down spot on.  You should consider authoring the cliff notes / Howto for your install/hardening in this area. Nice to see minstall mentioned  :)  Deja vu, three or more mentions of it in past 24 hours. Full release (open source) and general info on...

    BuyVM ToS Changes

    Oh lordy! Saw this in email 12 hours or so ago. Maybe Fran or Aldy can comment on Tor exit nodes.  I've thought that BuyVM had a fair number of customers because of Tor support / permission to operate on their network.  What happened and general reason for retreat (yes, I pulled my support of...

    How to rebuild your company image?

    As @Magiobiwan said, DMCA is not a bully weapon to silence critics. Dealing with bad reviews requires admission of failures when appropriate by you/your company.  Otherwise, it is a careful dance with the person impacted while managing larger public perception.   In this industry, DMCA is a...

    Thanks @Sunshine.  Interesting to see things that work with the YubiKey.  Still don't "get it" but eventually ah-ha moment will arrive :)

    3D Printers, anyone have one yet?

    I heard the guy with the open source 3d printer designs for gun(s).   Yeah semi useful in a pinch.   Rest of us, we prefer metal for firearms.   Anyhow, I have yet to see anything practical or truly needed that could be facilitated by a printer like these.  Certainly interesting, but novel and...

    Testing BBS software on my vps

    Ya, looks pretty neato.    Complete project for those interested: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysticbbs/ A DOS BBS :)  I kind of missed those days in my stages of life.  By the time DOS BBS were around I had moved away from such into what we commonly call the internet and other private...

    thread for buffalooed to investigate

    Well, I didn't bring you into this thread. I think you are a tad better than others with the brands and disguising. Top level observations: http://vpsblast.net/about.php "VPS Blast is a brand of IT7 Networks" = Good. The footers on that site says: "Copyright © 2012 IT7 Networks Inc" =...

    thread for buffalooed to investigate

    This entire thread isn't about Kev :) Rather about B2 Net and Chris the owner.  Shell-company-galora.  He might have been cool, but the shell games with these many companies of his posing as different companies isn't. No doubt it's the same company.  That b2shells.com whois info points to Kev...

    Need VPS or VPN (if VPN, must accept multiple connections)

    Any VPS should work for you.  Of course, after you do your setup and enable the accounts for the multiple SSH users sessions.  (typically just a plain SSH server). Good luck on finding services in those countries.  They aren't markets I am in or I'd suggest.

    How do you secure your server(s)?

    I rated this 5 stars.  Good topic. Generally, locking down SSH --- moving it to non standard port, not accepting user style password keyed in logins. Deny style scripts to monitor malicious attackers and block them on IP basis. DDoS script to babysit packet flow. IPTables to limit packet...

    vpsBoard advertisements and availability

    GREAT POST!!! I am glad to see vpsBoard being cognizant of the bills and time investment to keep the site humming along. Ads that are relative?  Hey, a rare site where I will see and want to see the ads. I hope other [good] providers take note of the pioneers who have put their financial...

    So Slickdeals has some Colocrossing bias?  I wonder why...  Never used the site / unfamiliar other than in passing name.

    thread for buffalooed to investigate

    Anyone considering purchasing from VPS ACE or any of the other affiliated shell companies needs to think long and hard. Administrators of other reputable forums have found it "right" to ban this company and some of their shell companies.  Lowendtalk and Lowendbox however continue to churn out...
