    LET Down?

    I love my wife ... I subscribed to the thread and my phone was in our bedroom. She walked in half asleep trying to turn off the volume and asked "What bastard keeps calling you a LET down?"  She saw "new reply" in the email and thought it was a ticket. Psh. Never!  <3

    LET Down?

    https://isc.sans.edu/feeds/topips.txt It seems they're eerily calm tonight, actually.  I usually see a good four or five no matter how often I refresh.

    LET Down?

    Maybe ARIN figured out the solution to that pesky little IPv4 shortage thingamabob.

    What do you use for monitoring the load?

    Gas-X if I've had broccoli. Sorry, the subject line sparked my inner ten year old.  Nagios and Munin haven't let me down yet.

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    I pegged him as living on the family tit about a year ago.  Jon puts on airs every time he makes a post, and flat out admitted to favoring (favoring...that's a laugh) his VPS users ("clients" is far too professional for him) and ignoring the shared people.  I don't think I've come across someone...

    SolusVM SOLD and acquired by OnApp

    If VirtKick is executed correctly, I wouldn't expect to see it for a while. Development/Staging/QA for such a project has got to take a goodly amount of time and patience -- I deflect to the elder members here who have accomplished this, however. I signed up for the KVM beta. I don't 'do'...

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    Sorry I'm late.  Had a root canal this week & I delegate everything when Vicodin's involved... :-P So this is the one where Kir said "that's just how it is, use cron if you have to" or something?  Yet more resource-intensive rituals for people like us. I did experience data loss running in...

    When did you realize you were getting old?

    When the format of my local oldies station changed it's format from 50s-60s-70s to 60s-70s-80s is about the time I started feeling it.  :P

    Control panels!

    Just sticking a note in about Clustering and OpenVZ - earlier in the year clustering was written out of Interworx if you were on an OpenVZ kernel because of the lack of NFS support. I had it pretty well licked until that update, I just haven't been able to get back to it. If you want to utilize...

    Wordpress alternatives?

    I've had Ghost running on my personal domain (http://johnedel.me) for about four months. I've enjoyed it's ...simple complexity if you will. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a developer, but I can see some technical advantages of going that route.  I don't have nearly enough of anything...

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

    I love Seattle's Best. Dutch Bros. is pretty heavy too.  I live just a couple hundred miles from Seattle, and I'm up there every once in a while. Make it a point to go downtown by the wharf where the first Starbucks is. There's a tobacconist right next to it, so that's usually the second place...

    WHT Down Again - DNS

    I signed up in '02.  I was 18 then.  Once upon a time providers worked toward a common goal. The day after I got a paid account I received an infraction because a new guy was getting picked on a little and all he needed was an answer so I kinda stepped in... It's gotten to a point that you...

    [OpenVZ] RHEL5 Kernel Branch End of Life

    I doubt anyone here is crazy enough to be screwing around with UBC knobs and parameters ... but if you have an intimate relationship with "Burst RAM", OpenVZ is about to break up with you. https://lists.openvz.org/pipermail/announce/2014-July/000521.html Though it's pretty painless to make...

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    Just a little FYI, it seems if you go to convert a container where second-level quotas are established, the /etc/mtab symbolic link to /proc/mounts gets broken and isn't correctly re-established, so whenever the container is rebooted, the container will show the former simfs layout unless you...

    Honeypots

    I've got a handful of leftover IP4's in my current Q.A. box. Not wanting them to go to waste, I kicked around the idea of spooling up a couple of containers and turning them into honeypots, and yesterday evening I configured Kippo. I liked the idea, you know, making them look like mail servers...

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    Yeh, perhaps you're right, but I'd still prefer to contribute something worthwhile over fluff or copy/paste like you said.  Plus I just started posting here yesterday, and even though I see a lot of familiar faces, first impressions are important, and I'd hate for people to think that I have a...
