    Linux Desktop Email Client - What folks are loving lately.

    Geary doesn't start for me now (asks for password but doesn't accept it). Don't know whats the problem. But, now I know that trojita has an undocumented cmdline option to use a different settings. trojita --profile home trojita --profile work (when a profile is first used, it starts with...

    Linux Desktop Email Client - What folks are loving lately.

    I am using Trojita and just now I installed Geary. Thanks for that. I am/was satisfied with trojita so far (except no 2nd imap a/c) trojita too doesn't display external images by default, and show only text version first, etc  (or have settings for it) Currently both running with 1(same)...

    How can milvpn have a full copy of my site?

    I didn't say anything in the lines of "you are pathetic for me" me too, don't speak fluent English (but not 'pathetic' either, referring the language this time of course) I don't know what you have mentioned here, and though I too can write on my language (which nobody on this forum would...

    How can milvpn have a full copy of my site?

    It is so pathetic when people don't understand jokes. @ScienceOnline, sorry that you didn't understand my joke about drmike. Now the explanation: " drmike is like GOD on the hosting industry"

    How can milvpn have a full copy of my site?

    drmike knows about each and every bit that happens on the hosting industry. If someone wants to know what or how it is happened, just simple, ask drmike. :)

    Raspberry Pi owners?

    mine is also collecting dust, bought it to use like a low end desktop. It might seem like a low cost one, but the addons really add up the cost (5v 2amp adapter, hdmi supported display or a hdmi-vga convertor, powered usb hub, etc) and you have to be vigilant on buying those as there are many...

    Linux install continually fails. Any ideas?

    I guess Shados is correct and give it the first shot. It seems a partitioning issue. Is the "boot" flag set on the linux partition?

    Linux install continually fails. Any ideas?

    Probably this is the reason? I am not a pro on this, just a guess. Have you tried installing before bios update? Will trying to install arch linux do any help? (it seems to be latest on many things, so worth a try?)

    Need help? Need to contact a moderator or admin? Read this!

    I might have understood that you said like "we can't delete posts" (I remember I replied saying "strange practice"). After seeing posts being deleted (by MannDude), I came to that conclusion. Why do you view it as any harm done to you?, it should not be an issue to you now as well.  :)

    Need help? Need to contact a moderator or admin? Read this!

    I don't know who you refer to by 'member', but I have never disturbed the mods with PMs, and in fact I haven't sent a single PM to MannDude (so far I have only sent one PM to MartinD that too to delete a post made by me, which he said can't be done; but later I saw MannDude deleting posts; I...

    Need help? Need to contact a moderator or admin? Read this!

    Why not create a link that is visible throwout the site (instead of just on a thread that has 60 views as of now) and probably disable PM? (and if possible put the link there in the PM page)

    Short, memorable and easily brandable VPS hosting domain and logo for sale. (.com and .net version o

    The new gTLDs have arrived and the .host gTLD seems to be in General Availability now. (may be tlds like .vps .dedi etc would be nice too). I don't know how long the .com mania would continue!

    Ordering glasses online?

    Even if it is possible, one should consider possibilities of not having an operation (especially for important organs like eyes). The docs might say its a simple procedure, but it could be a different thing altogether. (I don't have sight problems myself, but my relative had laser to get rid off...

    Control panels!

    your question could have been like "What are the popular/active CPs?" (instead of a history) but, I mention one here that the hosting industry largely neglected despite its good and been for more than 10 years I think. (may be its because people don't want to try new things) Its called...

    Huge increase in brute force attacks?

    @rds100 What if the server's network is off? Or your network is off? You can only ssh if the server is up, while it is so what would be the problem to have it updated with a time server (and your local system too). This requirement in fact could be more helpful with security. Probably, sshd...

    Huge increase in brute force attacks?

    May be, Is it better for the ssh daemon to support timing based acceptance? (like discarding all login requests that are not in the defined seconds range, say 25 to 29 and/or 55 to 59). This way, it might be somewhat a waiting game (at most 30 or 60 seconds) for a genuine client to issue a...

    Best low cost CDN?

    I have no experience with these, but cdn77 charges $49/TB for US/EU location (not per month, you can use it until you consume I think) So, per GB cost comes to 0.05/GB is probably the cheapest I think But anyway CDN is more costlier (5 to 10 times?) than normal vps/dedi I think (assuming vps...

    Things that happen or annoy you in this industry...

    what I feel pathetic in this industry is infants doing business as if elderly and more pathetic, no one can stop it.

    Things that happen or annoy you in this industry...

    Someone like me might want to (double) check whether the service is live, any person replying on the other side before buying. Even though you have clearly advertised, the prospective customer would be more comfortable if he/she gets a reply (even if there is nothing they have to really query...

    Email hosting?

    Fastmail.fm is a good provider, though they no longer offer free accounts (paid starts from $10/y I think), I can tell you that you can rely on them. I have used their free IMAP a/c for years and never had a problem, and it works even after they stopped free accounts. But to use it with a...
