@securewebcloud Clean up your post so this does not call that old E5420 an E5.   It's false advertising and we don't tolerate that stuff here. I'll hit report and push it to moderators here so it gets some action.

Awesome man!  I love dnsmasq - central to my ad blocking and DNS based cleanup of LANs. PXE server is fine to serve up ISOs right?  Looking forward to the next installment so I can start using this too.

There is no doubt the cheapies attract more disproportionate and in public loud group of knowledge lacking folks than the major brands.  Lack of price barrier is part of it and communities that seem to trivialize the complexity by having other 'yuts allegedly doing the same make the daydream...

I've seen a lot of small shops who went loco and spent far too much on OnApp installations.  The stuff is NOT selling for them.  Most turn back and do what they can to recoup money, like participating in the CDN offering.  Not a cheap deployment for such an experiment.  Nothing for a big company...

But most mature at this point are QEMU and KVM. What's interesting about OpenStack is you aren't stuck with single hypervisor.  My understanding is that it supports a slew of them. But most mature at this point are QEMU and KVM.  Can one run different hypervisors on the same box or are guys...

Oh I get parts of your anti-commodity truth in labeling :) Fact is virtual services never traditionally have been viewed as commodities.   In financial sense commodities are under various weights and measures and often transacted on financial markets (mainly to wreck the wealth generation of...

I love it. Not being a coder and focusing on other stuff as daily work, there is little I can automate. Things I could automate potentially: Tea kettle - would have to use electric model and tether it to Arduino and wall plug module. Blinds - opening the blinds and closing them is...

Great post :)  Keep it coming.   Reading the edumacted paper rambling.   I stand by this all being commodity, despite the academic knitpicks.  Remember it's such mentalities that mutates virtualized VPS into cloud and dances around the liberal definitions, in effect considering a Raspberry...

So maybe you live under a rock and avoid news sites, congrats on being a rare creature and happy day to enjoy that quiet by the stream. Rest of us have been snorting as the Panama Papers hack job matures and controlled media IV drips bits and pieces (even though they've had the data for a...

Hosting is a commodity :)  Most of it at least. It's interchangeable 'with other commodities of the same type'.  Have cPanel, we can migrate you / will to one of the 110k other hosting brands that supports it / has same software stack.  Use Solus?  Your API / interface tool you use in the...

I fully agree.   I think your approach is a good one.  Customers will appreciate it and I again have someone in Dallas to point folks towards.  Stopped recommending anything in Texas due to the tax and uncertainty it brings (plus I am a stickler about personal info sharing without...

Oh I entirely agree Hosting is indeed a major lemon market.  No disagreement on that ;) Here's commodity definition from Merriam-Webster: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/commodity Full Definition of commodity plural com·mod·i·ties 1 : an economic good: as a : a product of...

This is a nice feature you should promote.   Did I read right that you are covering said taxes and customer will not be dealing with those? Been many years now of people not knowing about those county taxes in some Texas counties and receiving just crazy bills.  Counties there sell and...

Colocation with you subject to the county's insane arbitrary annual server tax?

National Forests in the US.

Gresham's Law in essence were coins of valuable metal that people literally removed or skimmed off the coinage some of the precious metal.  Making the coin weigh less and be worth less, not worthless like fiat money (that made from nothing of value).   Skimmed coins caused distrust and for...

"Eightcore Xeon E5 Dedicated Server" Ahh no it is not.  The cores are right, but the E5420 is not part of the E5 CPU family. http://ark.intel.com/products/family/59138/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-Family#@All The E5420 falls under Xeon and family Harpertown...

No penalty or find for violating RFCs :)  Just more expected downtime with the SPOF (Single Point of Failure).

Reverse proxy in Nginx is at entry level approach super simple: location /some/path/ { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_pass http://localhost:8000; } localhost:8000 = IP or name of resource.  This can be on same box, same network or a...
