    anyNode Discontinues Chicago Location

    Lots of providers ---- in their defense --- aren't hawks for every mention of their company online.    I am amazed at how on top of social things some providers are.   It's a high bar to reach and to me, in a small company, points to idleness (slow business?). I see no harm. Short term notice...

    How are you handling backups?

    Out of curiosity, why the SFTP specification/want? Rsync continues to be the way I advise backups for most things.  Duplicity and many other solutions are using rsync underneath. Where isn't rsync cutting it for you now?  (I know the commandline options can be a pain at times to perfect)

    Personal Pet Peeves

    See those are the types of places I just can stand living in or near.  Neighbors wipe your ass too when you aren't doing a good enough job?   Do they come over and wash your whites when your shirts, socks, etc. have nagging stains? Those idiots aren't helpful, they are control freaks with no...

    Personal Pet Peeves

    Pet peeves: 1. Providers who can't or won't spell GUARANTEE correctly.  One provider has made a long running joke about that, that's the exception to the peeve :) 2. Folks who make up words due to their lack of knowledge.  Ditto for made up spellings of names because your parent(s) was/were...

    anyNode Discontinues Chicago Location

    Well, it's a shame providers move around so quickly (then again, maybe they've been there for eons and we just started seeing them around here).  Usually when this happens (and the hated IP change) I tend to just go shopping elsewhere.  I detest service changes. Another company that bailed on...

    Running your own mail server

    Server side virus scanner for the email?  Well, good for the WIndozer users I guess.   I don't need it personally :)

    Limestone Networks now offering Enterprise DDoS Protection $25/mo

    5X cost increase..... Well... it would be silly for me not to say, you have an installed base in Buffalo who knows of filtering in Vegas.... Bunch of those folks *should* be interested in filtering. Have you pinged your Buffalo customer base yet?  I'd get a pre-reservation list going. 5X cost...

    Limestone Networks now offering Enterprise DDoS Protection $25/mo

    CNServers I take it isn't big enough to be expanding to multiple markets. My gripe and observation is an obvious one.   Far west coast filtering is good for.... little.  Pretty much US Pacific and maybe Mountain.  Beyond there, gets silly with latency. Not a big option pool for protection...

    Electronics

    The Pi's and Arduino sure are active with electronics projects. I never got into electronics due to the cost when you break something and lack of role models/teachers with related experience. Closest I get is my random solar projects, related power, battery pack building, some DC sensors...

    Limestone Networks now offering Enterprise DDoS Protection $25/mo

    Damn DDoS services and the massive backhauling. Unsure why the firms doing the actual filtering aren't expanding to other geographic markets.  Seems strange...

    Limestone Networks now offering Enterprise DDoS Protection $25/mo

    $3-$6/mo for filtering and people complain?  Those trolls need to find a bridge to go hang out under.

    Colocrossing single homed nLayer in LAX?

    Call me lazy, Tinet.. Barf! Do they have nLayer in LA directly or is it just Tinet directly and that's how nLayer ends up in the mix?

    Limestone Networks now offering Enterprise DDoS Protection $25/mo

    Well that sure is a pricey service with high bloated latency then.   Skip.

    Limestone Networks now offering Enterprise DDoS Protection $25/mo

    Says over here: http://www.limestonenetworks.com/datacenter/ddos_protection.html Scant little on details, big on PR/marketing hype. Good to have options though.

    Ideas -- How to "route" DNS traffic through multiple daemons

    So tunnel between you and OpenDNS resolver = encrypted = good. Whatever OpenDNS does to do the lookups there onward, is unencrypted.  I don't see a problem with that .   OpenDNS is a huge DNS service with many millions of users.   Your request would be a drop of water in the ocean basically...

    Ideas -- How to "route" DNS traffic through multiple daemons

    DNSCrypt works currently as per http://dnscrypt.org/, with OpenDNS and CloudNS (Australia). I am unsure at this point how one could make DNSCrypt with their own resolver server.  That would be the ticket to mass adoption. Do I trust them, ehh, no.   But better than plaintext, open air requests...

    GHS now offering Yubikey's to Dedicated Server clients

    Umm, Yubikey, why are they useful to folks?   Still not clear what they do (other than random password generator).  Please share use cases and useful solutions based on them.    Do the USB devices also do key / password storage?
