Seriously good how to here and it seems oh so simple.  This will help lots of people (censorship, monitoring, sensitive info, viewing Hulu, etc.) You have my thanks!

I saw some hashes on screencaps.  Those are intended to be "secure". Someone said, but no one confirmed that the salt or something related was known. Unsure if any export of data happened.

That's mighty bad.  Makes sense why the site is quiet. Plaintext leak + email addresses leaked is real bad. Unsure what laws cover this, but this is second mass compromise of customer/user info in less than a year in that Buffalo location.

Upside down racking?  Get out.  That's a funny. Why are Aussie DC's so darn pricey  @Oliver?

Yikes, so members have to manually jump through the password reset routine?  Half the people on LET won't get through that hurdle :)

I did the dates.  The BuySellAds accounts are dated February 2012.  Assuming when Joel took over. LEB had ads running on it since 2009(?)... That income surely was rolling in, so his income wasn't as low as he said.  Joel got LEB right :) ? Now LET started running ads on the site it looks like...

Lots of providers do not have the minimal installs.   I hate the extra dance steps always to clean up the installs. Good info here for folks new to VPS world. Heck had one provider tell me I didn't need the Debian x64 that the 32 version wasn't any different. Mileage will vary with providers.

Thanks for this one @wlanboy. Nick runs  some seriously fast servers.  Disk IO  is super.   I use RamNode in both their locations and haven't had a bad day with them.

I think it would be bad for now to run to a big provider and a super server in light of the lowly ended spirit. Ads, blregghhh!  Maybe in the future. Thanks for spending your time doing this and your hard earned money.

WSI is good if you are in the main original "downtown" Oak Tower location.  The newer remote site has some delays potentially with staffing. Their pricing is very good and indeed a great intro into the business. Good company and people.

Why aren't people posting on LET?   Are new posts not allowed/blocked?  Seems like only replies happening.

Not to derail but WTF with Buffalo?  Cogent to Telia to Cogent? When I see that, I cringe.  Handoff to Telia shouldn't probably be happening.  I see that sort of oddness quite a bit at that location and it is why I continue to migrate things out of there to other datacenters.  They've messed...

Gross profit  as in all the money he took in or after all his costs. By the ad spot rates, $10k a month - 25% for BuySellAds commission. = $7500 a month. If Joel was making total what was claimed, something was wrong.  Depends though on when  he had the site.  Feb-March 2012 as maybe 1 month...

I select Topic 2 :) There is a huge difference between these sites and communities. To start over here it is transparent. There is no guessing who or what is behind the scenes. Next,  BuyVM is only hosting the site.  They are not donating anything.  The service is being paid for. Third...

Now LET has google bombed themselves: http://www.google.com/#output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=lowendtalk #1 result Offers - LOW END SHIT - LowEndTalk www.lowendtalk.com/categories/offers?     25GB of Usenet credit Blocknews swap it for a VPS minimum 64MB in Europe ...

Glad to see you on here @SilverKnightTech.  Thanks for the mirror.   

Love these annual deals.  SecureDragon has those tiny RAM offers too priced less. Glad to see them here and the review. Decent network based on latency reported. FUSE by default :)  All providers should do this.   Thanks @wlanboy

+1 for this.  Think it is good so it is clear up front to new people.   

Like I've said, they can't keep good people there.

Vanilla shows your own IP for all activity - of the server or front end. That's hideously stupid.  Reason enough to shit can that software.
