    Ukraine - Russia Situation

    "It's people" does not extend to Ukrainians. The US doesn't make it standard policy to issue passports and citizenry preemptively in soon to be occupied territories. Asylum is fair - and for that reason it's offered, but asylum without relocation is a loophole, whose pretext is currently...

    Question about OpenVZ UFW and IPv6

    I figured I'd try ufw a bit more before dumping it.  I finally got it running on INIZ's ovz nodes by hacking out portions of before6.rules. Specifically,  1) remove the rt module based lines under the heading "drop packets with RH0 headers" 2) removed the line "-A ufw6-before-input -m state...

    How do you usually sync files across servers?

    Depends on what you need it for but I found csync2 to work well with a small number of files that don't change too often. Example cluster configs. You can implement star topologies for n nodes.

    Question about OpenVZ UFW and IPv6

    I've been running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS fleet with UFW's IPv6=no like any sane person who didn't like poking themselves in the eye with a rusty spoon tend to do.  But I'm a glutton for punishment.  Does anyone have it working under IPv6?  If not, any other good alternatives short of resorting to raw...

    did spamhaus get kicked off cloudflare.

    On further inspection, the naked DNS spamhaus.org points to a url redirect - courtesy of tue.nl which is standard practice anyways if you don't want to use cloudflare page rules or have issues with MX.

    Automated "am I blacklisted?" check?

    Try https://github.com/polera/rblwatch I know 37signals used to have something, but i can't find their github anymore.  But ya, google 'rbl github check' should give you a whole list of people reinventing the wheel :P

    Where's my swap? (A "how does vSwap work" question)

    It probably helps to back up and remind ourselves that 'memory' is really just a block of virtual addresses (split into pages).  These pages can be either backed by RAM or disk with very little to tell the two apart from the requestor's perspective.  OpenVZ attempts to keep everything in...

    Choopa sends out Vultr to drown in the DigitalOcean

    TM is allowed usage for unregistered trademarks (market rules).  R is the one that requires USPTO registration.

    What's the difference between DigitalOcean and other VPS companies?

    It kinda fits the usage case I've had lately of spinning up nodes to test Chef/ansible deployment scripts.  The API helps getting a clean provision up and running with minimal fuss.  That opens the door to using it, and given that its relatively cheap enough compared to other pure VPS providers...

    Choopa sends out Vultr to drown in the DigitalOcean

    I hope they fix the security issues and the capacity planning bit.  Having "sold out" locations defeats the single purpose I have for instant activation APIs.

    Swapping to /dev/null - normal?

    My guess vm.swappiness=0 visibly from the VE (can't test since I don't have a non vSwap container anymore).  That'll still die horribly on a OOM, but well at that point it's probably the least of your worries.

    Website Design

    The only sure way is to put them in the same div.  Look on this page itself.  div#logo and div#primary_nav are children of the same div#ipbwrapper.

    Website Design

    Pay more attention to your padding and alignments.  Why center the block and then left-justify the body and miss-align the whole thing? Minimal means you're going to have to focus and clean up on these basics more.

    Swapping to /dev/null - normal?

    Some programs like Chef require a swap file and you can 'fake' it by using /dev/null.
