    SolusVM SOLD and acquired by OnApp

    I'm wondering how many OnApp developers suddenly started binge drinking after seeing the Solus source, and realizing what nightmare they were just walked into.

    iPhone 6* & Apple Watch Discussion!

    I picked up a Samsung Gear 2 for just over 150$ thanks to a screw-up at Amazon.  I was skeptical, but had someone that would buy it from me for 250 if I didn't like it, so what the hell. I get a TON of use out of the media controls alone.  I use my phone constantly for music streaming...

    iPhone 6* & Apple Watch Discussion!

    Somebody linked this the other day, and it seems appropriate >_> But trolling aside - what makes the device worth the pricetag, other than paying for the fruit logo?

    The gun thread

    My local Academy store carries 7,62x,54 - but they want 10$ for 20 brass.  If you're fine with spending the time to clean your rifle after firing surplus rounds, you can get the same ammunition linked above in packs of 20 if you don't want to drop 90$ at once.  You do have to be very thorough...

    The gun thread

    Wear a thick jacket, or bring some padding for your shoulder if you're still using the stock buttplate.  She won't kick much, but it'll be enough to leave some bruises if you aren't used to longer rifles :P

    The gun thread

    My Мосина came in yesterday - spent this evening getting the cosmoline off and cleaning 'er up.  1943 made (they were out of the 1918s, so I'll have one on reserve once they come in plus a hefty discount), absolutely beautiful.  I'll get a couple pics tomorrow when the sun's up again.  Off to...

    DigitalOcean keeping busy

    Floods don't include hurricanes - hurricanes include floods :P Think of it less as the type of flooding you're familiar with, and more that the hurricane is pushing an ungodly amount of water inland as it comes to shore, as well as dumping an equivalent amount as precipitation.  But, like you...

    DigitalOcean keeping busy

    As someone that has lived in Louisiana for some time and ridden out several hurricanes now, I call BS on that statement >_> I can't think of any landed hurricane that didn't bring disastrous flooding in its wake.  If you did happen to get a hurricane, you'll quickly find that dams aren't that...

    Do you tell a customer your server specs if he asks?

    Hardware builds tend to be a competence marker for the host, as well.  There have been quite a few hosts I was interested in signing up with - until learning what hardware configs they were using destroyed my faith in them actually knowing what they were doing. But, to play devil's advocate...

    Coffee. What are you drinking and what would you recommend?

    That.... that is just absolutely ridiculous.

    Do you tell a customer your server specs if he asks?

    Valid, yes.  Ethical, no.  The only reason you'd want to hide what hardware you're using is to keep your clients from finding out that you have them hosted on shoddy gear.

    Looks like 5 million Gmail Account info has been leaked

    This isn't a skid forum - we don't trade leaked passwords here.  Take that crap back to HF.

    Do you tell a customer your server specs if he asks?

    We list our deployments in our Wiki.  A provider not wanting to disclose what hardware they're using means they have a reason to hide it.  And that reason is typically bad news for the client.

    Robert Clarke DDoS'd Brings the Internet Down...

    'tis because nobody knows or cares who Robert Clarke is - so he feels no responsibility for his actions.  Ask a moderator to s/Robert Clarke/ServerCrate/g this thread, and start mentioning his "company" (or his father) instead of his name from here out, and watch how fast he backpedals and cuts...

    Robert Clarke DDoS'd Brings the Internet Down...

    Better question would be, why is anyone giving him the time of day?

    CloudAtCost Oversold, Underpriced, What to do? Launch new "Feature"

    @drmike nailed it.  This has nothing to do with security, and is just a bogus move to try and keep VMs spun down to reduce the strain from how tightly packed the nodes are.

    1918 model.  I'll take pics once it comes in :3

    ...starting to think we're long lost twins or something, MD.  Just ordered a Mosin myself, should have it in by Tuesday :P

    File / Folder / User permissions regarding /var/www

    Apache's (and most httpds) default user is www-data.  chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www would be your quickest fix.

    Coffee. What are you drinking and what would you recommend?

    Filled with pretentious twits >_> I've never had decent coffee from a Starbucks.  Corner gas stations are typically my go-to if I'm not near a greasy diner or making my own.
