Montreal and Paris are OVH, from the looks of it. What's the datacenter for New York?

Hmm. Not allowing IRC clients/bots on VPS services? EDIT: Signed up. Not super impressed with the speed so far. Will do some more testing later on. EDIT2: Hmm, network speeds are actually pretty decent, even to Europe and Asia. It's just Washington that's not great. Installing packages seemed...

FYI: Not the entire world uses credit cards.

No reason they couldn't offer both.

You can. That you can automate it, doesn't mean it is automated.

Right. And the point is that it isn't all that useful, because it's not automated.

XMPP+OTR is an interesting support mechanism. To my knowledge, only UrDN offers that at the moment.

Spoofing.

Honestly, the biggest performance characteristic for ORMs is probably whether or not it uses JOINs. Beyond that, it rarely matters. And even without JOINs, most applications are never going to run into any limitations. Good one. I usually roll this one into "maintainability", but I realize...

These kind of benchmarks are really rather pointless. Not only do they not represent real-world applications or workloads, the entire point of performance is generally completely irrelevant - servers are cheap, manhours and bugs are not. The correct order of concerns for an application is...

"Lifetime Hardware Guarantee"? That's pretty much standard for a dedicated server, not exactly a special feature. What datacenter are these in?

The quality of Laravel is mixed. Some components are well-designed, others are a mess. Dependency injection is unnecessarily complex. Documentation quality also heavily varies - there's certainly a lot to learn before you can 'correctly' build applications, and it's not always obvious where to...

Haven't they already done that with Bluemix? They even acquired StrongLoop recently. EDIT: Bluemix is fucking awful, by the way.

Rather heavy on buzzwords and general pretentious press release stuff. Which is unfortunate, because the concept is interesting...

I'm very curious as to what will happen once VC money runs dry.

It's not a "utopia". It's a technical requirement. Again, really not sure what you're talking about. Correctly functioning anonymity protects your identity from all parties, not just some.

Poorly, that's how :P Seriously, though - yes, XMPP is absolutely a text protocol (which is one of the reasons I don't like it very much, from a developer point of view). There are a lot of extensions, though: https://xmpp.org/xmpp-protocols/xmpp-extensions/ Notably, I believe it uses Jingle...

Aaaaand then even CVPS went to HVH.

The issues with Skype availability only really started when they moved away from the P2P model... Still using XMPP here. For the rare audio/video call, Jitsi Meet.

Not intentionally misread. It's very well possible that the US government uses Tor a lot. This is inevitable. Government presence is not required. Tolerance of government presence however, is. The whole point of a truly anonymous system is that you cannot identify actors, and if you cannot...
