I don't have any managed hosting at the moment, but when I did, I was always curious about how shared root was handled. I've used both KnownHost and WiredTree (pre-Site5) in the past. Both gave me VMs with root, but they were managed. So if I had a question about cPanel or something, they'd...

On further reflection, I think I owe @WSWD an apology. He wrote: "All the security precautions in the world are not going to stop crazy people from doing crazy things. The problem is that Europe, as a whole, keeps welcoming these muslims into their countries. They despise how we live." The...

Could be one of those "we make pennies per license, out of which we pay staff and take profit, and...oh crap it's the 1st of the month and we need to front another month's worth of Solus". It's also easy to get caught out on things like a large order cancels, disputes, etc. On paper, you may...

php is one of those languages I never actually read a book on but can code proficiently in because I learned perl and python first. Once you know those, any other scripting language is just a reskin really...well, a reskin + workarounds for all the features you miss. I really like golang of...

Well, this was a fun thread. I was going to remove some posts but decided to leave them as examples of posts that are no welcome here. 1. @maounique we understand you don't like @jarland, but vpsBoard is not a place to rehash your grudge. Knock it off and stop polluting threads with it. We...

I prefer KVM. Unless it means "any reinstall means firing up the Debian installer" in which case I am sad. I see more hosts with KVM reinstall templates these days but not nearly as universal as OpenVZ.

I read that too fast and thought it was an MST3K joke about Max Keller from "Master Ninja": He was like a LowEndDrMike. And DrMike was like a LowEndCarlBernstein. I think some people get off by fancying themselves as investigative reporters or something.

Intentionally devoid? How about unrelentingly hostile. I think the only thing you can modify on desktop iMacs is to add/swap out RAM. That's it. Everything else is sealed. On laptops, you can't even do that. The freakin' RAM is soldered in. I think they solder it on the Mac Mini as well.

And you're a team of Linux sysadmins, right? Go figure :-)

Pretty much every host is "wordpress-friendly". If you want "wordpress hosting" then you're paying for a managed shared hosting service where they tweak and run WP for you. If you are comfortable adminning WP yourself, really any shared host will do. Most offer Softaculous if you want WP easy...

Traveling. I got a Cruze last time, too. Bastards.

My current ride is a rental. It's a Chevy Cruze. It completely sucks balls for three reasons: 1. It's a GM product. 2. AutoStop. Nothing like rolling up to a stop sign on an 85-degree humid day and the airco and fans stop as the car shuts off. I couldn't believe that. That is so GM. Iffy...

This thread was fine when it was focused on BudgetNode, but it's about to morph into a "rehash past LET grudges and drama" thread, so I'm closing it.

jarland's already commented from the LET team so I'll leave that there. As for BN... I have a small KVM I bought from BN semi-impulsively. I wanted a separate node for handling my email from home (Comcast blocks outgoing port 25, so I have to relay things like alerts from my home systems...

I read this first as Adobe Home Security and I thought oh my God...

I'm still deeply bitter it requires an internet connection to play even solo.

99% of my gaming is on iPad these days...all I have time for, and a good way to kill time on planes. PanzerCorps is awesome if you liked Panzer General Starbase Orion is great if you liked MOO Twilight Struggle is a fantastic board game adaptation, but it's complicated. I play Bloons TD5 a lot...

"Ms. Gerry is one of the few people who can claim that she has actually configured a Cisco router while on horseback." That sounds badass.

Well, 75% of the thread subject line is true. @KuJoe has been working on rolling out KVM for Wyvern...got this today: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We know we haven't been sending out a ton of announcements like we used to...

Thanks! Had a nice afternoon in the Columbia Gorge.
