    Too many VPS Sites

    LET is a time bomb on who owns the content.  Know some of us now want our content removed from LET based on what has happened there. As far as aggregating guides, that's a novel idea I suppose.   But, I think aggregation is vastly overrated and highly destructive. Isn't a search engine...

    Continuation of DotVPS brand - HTTP Group Proposed Take Over Cancelled

    WTF is the $50 @Francisco is chattering about? Why didn't this merger thing happen?

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    I'm old school like that. Way too easy to burn things up :) Still haven't bought a Pi, but considering one to drive a pair of radio transmitters (AM and FM).  Feed the transmitters audio, store the programming, etc. Have to get up to speed with Jack and other other tools to get the solution...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    You can do what I did with mini itx for eons. They sell these threaded pieces of steel at hardware stores (big box ones)  Like a big headless screw--- various lengths - 6in, 1ft, etc. I take 4 of these and place them in normal corner/mount holes.  Then I take a rubber grommet and a nylon nut...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    Which FM transmitter? FCC regulations and similar international regulations pretty much limit FM transmitters to 50mw or less.  FCC regulations  are way more complicated than that though.  It is a field strength test done for a distance. All legal FM transmitters (unmodified) are limited to...

    VPSBoard Slowness and Error

    CC is shameless. If they spent more time tending their sites, installing patches, software upgrades, etc. they wouldn't have the house VPS brand hacked, then the "we scammed it" kid hosting site hacked.  Hell, they might be in better financial condition and not need to be offering those...

    Colo

    You can colo at Datashack and possibly WSI for non special rate of $45/month (Datashack). In the past I've had no luck finding people with space rack space beneath the public ad rates at these facilities.

    How was your memorial day weekend?

    Memorial day, wait do you youngsters even know what that day is all about? I had some quiet time for a change.  For that I am quite thankful.

    offended by "Balls Out" ?

    Ahh @24khost has some nutty promo themes.  Read the LET thread and it was moderately, well, LET. People are wound too tightly or perhaps are high moral adherents.  Nothing wrong with that in my book.  I like the morally slim majority. Balls have never been per se a PG thing in said context...

    My VPN IP requires me to type a CAPTCHA code to use Google search.

    As for why this happens... Folks will claim malicious activity against Google.  Main reason?  Someone may have made automated search queries to Google to analyze rank, placement, etc. Find it mighty odd that Google routinely pummels site owners with lousy requests and hordes of requests, but...

    My VPN IP requires me to type a CAPTCHA code to use Google search.

    DuckDuckGo is very cool. I also recommend Startpage.com, which gives you Google results but doesn't spy on you or leak info.

    offended by "Balls Out" ?

    I thought 24khost was bailing on the low end market or reducing interest in it... Taking their ball and playing with it elsewhere... I take it LET hasn't been a big order generator lately?

    Whats your backup plan for production sites?

    2 hours is fine if not too busy. Database backups are a problem since no simple way I know of to deal with updates.   You could develop a non-update database model and deal with linear point in time incrementals. Currently, no big solution on my side for database since I have over 200GB...

    When will AMD back to market?

    I don't buy into the latest and greatest.  So can't say AMD is better or worse. This sort of competition between AMD and Intel is quite old and tired though. AMD is certainly capable and competitive.  Unsure why VPS land is so Intel-centric lately.
