I don't see the ban holding much water. GVH-Jon claims he's 100% innocent and is the victim in this one. Supposedly this is all related to some IP's being either extremely close or matching between members of the community. If that's 100% true, Colocrossing's in a bit of a pickle to say the...

Getting banned on home field is pretty rough but I think if the ban sticks (and doesn't get overruled or turned into a 'timeout') that you'll suddenly see a wave of 'how is GVH?' threads on WHT. Then again, if the mods over there catch wind they may lay down the law. I can't see them being...

Honestly it looks like your solder isn't getting hot enough or that you're heating the wrong part :P Isn't it that you're supposed to heat the points and not the component/wire, that way you don't damage it? This is all very tempting but like @NullMind i'd probably blow a ton of cash just...

Probably shared hosting given their signature :) No providers are going to allow a phishing site to be up for "upwards of 48 hours" short of maybe Ecatel and some super sketchy Ukraine hosts. If you're upfront with your datacenter of choice that you do shared hosting so abuse can happen, they...

Question for everyone tinkering with SyncThing - Does it sync files opened for writing? I'm mostly curious if it syncs streaming data. Namely, you're WGET'ing a file to the FS, is it syncing all of that on the fly or does it wait for the file to be complete before blasting it off? Francisco

It's going to be patched & documented publicly but it's likely bad enough that it'd cause major security issues. All I can figure is it's based on a pretty specific version of XEN (possibly in 4.x+) and that's why Linode isn't affected by it. This could be really iffy, especially if it affects...

Would make sense since that's around the time that he took the fall for UGVPS' clusterfuck. Francisco

Tropico 5 is up for sale on Humble as well, 35% off. Francisco

I'm not sure why they'd use their own mailservers still when delivery rates are poor unless you spend the time/cash to get whitelisted. If you push a lot of mail it's worth it to just get Amazon SES. They charge by the GB and since it's purely text you'll get a serious amount of email out for...

I had a bet with someone about the latest /17 listings. I mentioned that since the /15's went in place that we'd see an increase in spam from new ranges and sure enough, /24's, /22's, etc, have been leased out of the 192's. They've already had spam on some very legacy space like their 75.x...

Linux permissions work without issue? Francisco

I dunno. I got a bunch of boxes at dacentec and I gotta say i'm not impressed. They've had real DDOS issues lately and they don't seem to have a fix on the way. Francisco

I know I'm a terrible person for necro'ing this thread but hopefully the mods don't smite me. Still on topic, has anyone played with syncthing? It looks like it addresses the permission syncing as well as other things up for discussion. Francisco

Gold is worse than Silver. I've been doing Strife some, it's pretty solid. It's a MOBA as well, nicely laid out. Map is much smaller. It just got into public beta a couple weeks ago. Francisco

Humble bundle is giving away free Steam copies of Tropico 3 for the next 24 hours! https://www.humblebundle.com/summersale2014-free For those curious, it's a simulation game, similar to Sim City, but far more hilarious. Francisco

Oh was it Indonesia? Well, I always used his development builds which he updates pretty often. He hasn't put out a 'stable' branch in a while. Francisco

No, he's just the usual HF host. If you ever browsed the site you'd see it's really common. What's not common is seeing people trying to pull this crap in the US, usually it's a EU only thing (ecatel, voxility, random hosts in Ukraine, etc). Someone has to be dumb as a cinder block to do that...

ROUND 2. FIGHT! http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/34745/bigbucks-cc-kvm-linux-windows-vps-4gb-ram-15-month-recurring#latest I'm really hope they're taking him down because he's a ddos loving hackforums skid, and not because 'he is over the $7 limit'. Francisco

I'm sure he'd pay 10x the normal price, it isn't like he's using a legit CC, it'd be stolen. I'm still waiting for Ecatel to get depeered again. Oh those were the days~ Francisco

I doubt he's condoning it, but he shouldn't be allowing it to happen, period. ACL's should be in place for all outbound traffic. No, not prefix lists, but actual ACL's to stop spoofing. Any decent router will do ACL's in hardware which means there's minimal overhead doing so. HF hosts are...
