It's cpanel so every domain has its own folder (what cpanel calls addon domains).

I thought it was an interesting idea, though academics and researchers are usually rewarded for being clever, not necessarily right. Had it been an explicit pyramid scheme, it would look the same. e.g., if "Santoshi" had designed it so he could mine the first 10% of coins (which are much...

Had never thought of it this way, but the analysis is interesting... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jp-morgan-cryptocurrency-market-looks-like-pyramid-scheme-183008361.html

Is there a reason you need "offshore" hosting? There are tons of mainstream hosts who allow adult content.

I would start by answering the question: "why do you need cryptocurrencies?" For me the answer is "a couple places I do business with only accept payment via Bitcoin". Hence, I tend to buy $10 worth of BTC and immediately spend $10 worth of BTC. Your needs may be different.

I wish the Declaration of Independence said something about an inalienable right to not have to be oncall for holidays...

Typically the user has a bandwidth quota (say, 200GB as a random example). When you hit 200GB, your site stops working. Storage is the same - you get 10GB, you can't store more than that. Hence there's no impact to the provider at all. Some providers offer "unlimited" bandwidth...then it's...

And who else would you put in that list? Slackware. Gentoo appears to be dying. Arch? Never used it myself. Obviously, the opposite of this would be RHEL/CentOS/Fedora and Ubuntu. There's a zillion other small distros one could list. And of course OpenBSD and NetBSD (though the latter is...

Turns out this really wasn't news... https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37283

I read the change list but didn't see anything major...nothing as major as moving from 7 to 8 with systemd fisting its way into my life. In fact I didn't see much in 9 that looks like that big a change. It's nice to have MariaDB 10.1 come in a major milestone release. This is irritating: "The...

6sync once offered something like $10 in credit if you posted a review and sent them a link. Although I believe they would have paid for bad reviews, word of this got out on WHT and it was a pretty negative hit to their credibility. And that was for a company where people had already posted...

Built my wife an RPi photo frame for Christmas last year. Bought a $150 Asus monitor and setup a Pi on the back of it. Had to write my own software, but that was fun: - Uses fbi (frame buffer) for full screen - Every hour, generate the next hour's photo list, which consists of 240 images at...

Notorious B.I.G. mixed on top of the Grateful Dead. The album is very uneven but there are a few brilliant gems.

I use youtube-dl frequently to download youtube stuff for plane rides. Just remember that if get an error, most times it's because your youtube-dl is older. Every time Google changes YT html, youtube-dl can potentially break. There is a youtube-dl -u feature that will auto-update if you run...

Actually, you're the dude. I'm the dog. Though if you're making me an honorary dude, I would be honored. So much so that I'd make you an honorary dog. MannDog and RainDude.

Paypal: 1. I don't have to give my CC details to yet another small business. This is the main thing. Both for security and because it's one less place to update when my card expires, etc. 2. Paypal is always approved by my bank. With a random hosting provider, I might have the "denied by...

No, actually, it was a nationalist conflict. You don't have to take the word of random guys on vpsBoard (though this one actually has a degree in history). Quoting Wikipedia: "The conflict was primarily political and nationalistic, fuelled by historical events. It also had an ethnic or...

http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ Command line linux. Make sure to keep it updated and download the latest, because it's sensitive to Google HTML changes, etc. I always download from github and keep in /usr/local/bin rather than using the hopelessly behind distro version. Works flawlessly for...

10 cores, 50GB RAM, unlimited BW, 1.2TB of SSD, 1gbps port, and either Windows Server or cPanel/WHM for ~$46.47 (Rs 1999) per mo... (cough) not sustainable (cough)

"Transform a Mac mini with Thunderbolt Technology into a Full-Fledged Expandable Rackmount Server!" I imagine the two or three people who use Thunderbolt will be very excited about this.
