    DOJ vs. Apple over Terrorist Phone

    I found this to be a good read this morning: http://www.forbes.com/sites/nelsongranados/2016/02/20/apple-can-should-and-will-help-fbi-unlock-shooters-iphone/

    Own an MVPower DVR / NVR for CCTV - you've been pwned.

    Wow. That'll make me think twice about what items I purchase for home security moving forward. Perhaps it's smarter to build my own. I've been looking at replacing my cameras and using a local DVR as a basically a large cache. I've gotten a bit obsessive with home security these days (let's just...

    Dacentec - Unreliable Network Ran by Amateurs - Recommendations

    I feel ya. To me it sounds like a major failure of their colocated equipment combined with remote hands. We all know well how inefficient remote hands can be at times, and often having no sense of urgency or care for the impact of what they're doing. Anyone taking mild offense to that is...

    Dacentec - Unreliable Network Ran by Amateurs - Recommendations

    So drmike, I signed up with Psychz today because I've been watching their success lately among VPS providers on LE*. Have you looked into them any? I don't know about you but I like a little DDOS protection in my network, and they're in the Carrier-1 facility in Dallas which is a pretty nice...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    Admittedly I'm a little curious if that relationship is headed south.

    Email Blacklists

    I absolutely support the idea that we need to try to shift common opinion on this. When an email gets blocked the first thing you do is go to your host and assume that they are not effectively policing their network. With companies like Verizon and Microsoft, this is simply not the case. They...

    Email Blacklists

    They'll do this with the cleanest of all IP blocks, IP blocks you can't find a single mark against anywhere on the internet. I'm talking so clean that apews hasn't even listed it. Then they have their other rejection method, the one that really makes your blood boil. They accept your email...

    How to do the following...

    Quite honestly it can be the most painful thing to run and maintain. Some people don't have much in the way of needs, or get really lucky with an IP range not blocked by major providers (Looking at you, Microsoft & Verizon), but outside of those circumstances.... when delivery is of importance...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    Just wanted to add... If you guys ever have any questions about anything going on with LE*, please don't hesitate to approach me directly and just ask. I'm an open book. You'll always get the truth.

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    So quick to judge, so reluctant to just ask :) I uploaded several images to "d.jarland.me" (using my Dropshare app) because Wordpress was being stupid and I really didn't have time to mess with it's stupidity. I'd upload an image only to find that the image didn't work. I don't have backend...

    Recommendations: Cord Cutter TV Data Powered

    Not quite hardware side but SlingTV is playing a big role for me right now. It's a big step toward the service I've wanted for a while, legit broadcast TV that relies entirely on an Internet connection alone.

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    Always open to feedback. Just trying to do right, not guaranteeing that what I do always is :)

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    It is not. My compensation is primarily the in these points: 1. I get to network with more people in the industry directly. 2. I'll have more public facing, industry related content with my name on it. 3. The chance to give back to the community. In terms of potential impact on my career...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    Thanks brother! I'm really excited and already getting my feet wet for what becomes official January 01 :) That's kind of sad to read and not really true. What you see in me today is a greater appreciation for my life. I don't get as angry about things that I can't change as I used to. It's...

    Why do web hosts not use AMD processors in servers?

    Honestly, the people I see using AMDs are the ones massively overselling. We're talking the big names selling real Virtuozzo. The kind of people who think more # of cores (threads included in calculation) means the node holds more people. I'm scared to death of anyone using AMD at this point...

    Spamhaus listing us for being listed and will not remove listings now?

    I don't know. I see it too. I also have dealt with them several times in my various roles and never found them to be unfriendly or unreasonable in conversation. I don't want to say that anyone's story isn't legitimate, I've no doubt a history of being well received in such venues where others...

    What country is best for free speech laws?

    I've seen plenty of nazi related websites hosted in the US over the years with no government authority trying to shut them down. People DDOS attacking sure, but legally speaking it goes unchallenged.

    What country is best for free speech laws?

    It really depends on what you have to say. If the topic is specific, there is likely a "best" place for that topic.

    Clearing the air

    I know what it means to "shell" a website. I myself am cherry picking (not in the fallacy sense, more like the literal sense) that reason to walk away. I never got a chance to make an impact anyway, time constraints. No loss to anyone. Doesn't matter much to me what the UK lists for the company...

    Clearing the air

    Yeah... I'm out. Sorry. I'm not comfortable attaching my name to anything related to those screenshots Jack posted.
