    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    @Hostwinds appears I misread the pricing portion perhaps...  or more likely the poster over there pasted wrong? You get brownie points from me for it.  It just seems oddly misplaced though after doing a deal.  Mind you I am familiar with deals done while brands are on fire... What does...

    Softether CLI howto for drop in OpenVPN replacement

    Anyone have personal notes or aware of a working how-to out there for Debian and derivatives that covers Softether installation? Looking for how-to that does pedestrian VPN setup as a replacement to OpenVPN.  Nothing fancy.  Only requirement is all CLI as doing this with servers and no GUI or...

    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    I looked at CC relationship and WeLove was just a customer.  The former owner of WeLove is far too interested in money to share and has history / relative interests one could track. HostWinds and blackhat I am interested in @GM2015 toss me a PM with anything you know / saw.  I know HostWinds...

    Should universal internet access be a human right?

    I think the same observations could be made on other aspects of the UN's Human Rights Declaration.  When enacted various barriers existed in many place for even the most basic rights defined therein. We are reaching time and place where technology is existing before sanitation exists.  There...

    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    Crazy the amount of dollars he (former WeLoveServers owner) has made selling garbage on Flippa...  Mind you this guy was on BBC primetime show about selling prebuilt websites - scamming people out of big bucks for nonsense.

    What solution to virtualize its own infrastructure ?

    Try this: http://www.modulesgarden.com/products/whmcs/proxmox_vps/features I do not endorse ModulesGarden, just are a common thing used for such.  Their software will get comments about being unreliable, broken, slow to no fix, etc.  So be forewarned.

    WeLoveServers Sold to HostWinds

    Time to necro this thread. Been reading along on LET where WeLoveServers suckered people into buying their inferior services: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/71012/hostwinds-recently-acquired-the-assets-of-weloveservers Fox2K11 over there says: So HostWinds massively upticked the...

    Should universal internet access be a human right?

    Very good point.  As-is today, if you lack internet access, you would have to pay for paper statements and further inflicts that person who might not be able to afford such (both the internet and the fee). I've thought this many times from a legal responsibility layer.   Usually when someone...

    Why people pay so much for big brand VPS and cloud

    Stability - this is always subject to change.  I'd be more interested with providers establishing their staffing numbers, and determining if anyone in ownership actually has technical ability.  Many shops are a mix of random people and technical folks too often are not the owners.  Meaning just...

    Why people pay so much for big brand VPS and cloud

    Home LAN is fine and always an option.  I have ample stuff hosted from the home office.  That stuff isn't client must have 100% uptime but hobby stuff, my own solutions, and development.  I could likely do client stuff and normal hosting just fine and no one would be any wiser.  In fact I did...

    Should universal internet access be a human right?

    It dawned on me earlier today in reading and reflecting the place that internet access increasingly has in our lives.  Realized it prior, but just a little more clearly today. I grew up before computers were common in homes and we knew nothing of tablets or smartphones. In those days the...

    ARM has legs. Real world use.

    64 bit is the only big take away from the new C2 in my mind. Glad to see a happy Odroid XU4 case study @raj.  What OS are you running on the XU4 and anything notably broken with it?

    Why people pay so much for big brand VPS and cloud

    Literally what I said... "I prefer these days to self host or run dedis or colo gear just for sanity sake" I buy little virtual resource hosting anymore. If I need a slice, I cut one on a box I have, or spin up a new device for that. I prefer to house things internally - on-lan ---...

    Why people pay so much for big brand VPS and cloud

    I'll say to @DomainBop I won't buy from many companies, including the very largest because of lack of privacy and/or history of security fubars / disclosures. The entire data backup schema out there drives me batty about handling and access if a company has such.  Knowing my data could be out...

    Why people pay so much for big brand VPS and cloud

    Tossing in my qualified opinion on why customers choose big companies for hosting and with emphasis on also paying higher rates. 1. Name recognition matters.  Real companies spend fortunes on establishing name recognition.  When you achieve commonly known status, the money is auto-pilot and...

    Quadranet Needs to BAN SMTP. Spammer UTOPIA.

    Well anything is possible, but usually unlikely. I never understand why people leave things online, unused and lingering... Quite funny that Ilan's blog is busted up example.   We can't blame him though, I don't think he understands English very well (so was said in moons past).  You know...
