DMCA Ignored in the UK? Good luck with that.

I bought a Syma X5C, a cheap chinese unit. I might get something more serious one day, but for now this is quite fun enough.

Took my little quadcopter out for some night flying with a mate who just got a new quadcopter (one of many). There was a bit of wind later in the night (there was a few trips between home to charge and to the near by park) and I managed to get picked up by the wind (TBH I was up a bit too high...

Having just spent some time optimizing the ORM we use in our applications due to running into some performance issues I can say there are alot more critical areas than this. For example High overhead on each field/property access can add up quickly, as Model getters/setters can easily be the...

Yep. Performance is usually only important if its very bad, or in a high performance area (kernel modules, networking code, games) not web frameworks. Web frameworks are rarely a bottleneck in themselves. How much of your application CPU is spent on Routing the request, managing controllers...

SFTP to central filestore, deployment script which deploys from there to production instances (when staging & QA processes complete). There isnt really many arguments for FTP or other non-encrypted protocols these days.

Seconded. Other than that its quite nice.

You could build something based off https://github.com/splitice/IPTables.Net if you are familiar with software development.

Probably explains why I have been receiving a mass mail every few days for a host I have never had services with.... Gmail should realize soon enough :)

@Geek Did you know they removed gullible from the dictionary?

Been fighting a dispute from a customer who forgot to cancel their service, on an account with an account balance (which is non-refundable anyway). From the UK so has intangible items covered. Lets see if Paypal can understand this at all. /rant, seriously. What so difficult about: /endrant

Finally the motivation I need to get my own ZNC back up and running after 2 years.

Location, Location, Location.... the world be not just Europe.

My definition of "is an active and contributing member" would be based off an individual assessment, not any post counts. A rule of thumb could however be applied for guidelines. Either that or ${X} *quality* posts / threads. Then just rejecting those who do spam. Guidelines for quality could...

Personally I don't think buying ads is the right approach. Having money does not necessarily indicate quality. I would rather see advertising be a reward for those who contribute to the quality and content of the community. Maybe "is an active and contributing member" should be a requirement...

Have you thought about requiring a certain number of new threads in certain sections (i.e articles) or something like that? I understand its a fine balance, but honestly we don't need another WHT where everyone only posts for offers.

No, that's outgoing nat. It *can* have the same effect but it is far from the same thing. It just rewrites the source ip and nat's it the process is still bound to the same interface which can cause a miriad of issues (MTU, announced ip's over protocol etc)

Personally I don't think Paypal's dispute people are up to the difficulty of dealing with these sort of services.... Not looking forward to the inevitable abuse of this really. I am sure there are many industries where this will be a win, hell even some scammy providers in this very industry...

I actually had to use this on another piece of software yesterday, BTSync. Worked like a charm, its worth noting there is a small difference between the version of the code posted at x4b.net and the one posted Daniel Ryde, a bug fix in bind() interception that is not mentioned. Glad I posted...
