:) WE are a critical lot here and that's part of the charm.   Little flies or is freely let to fly when providers choke and deserve to be belted for selling junk.   Something junk that needs belted currently is that RTO company in the Carolinas.... Ho hum, when I find a minute :)

Emojis.... Those are for the window lickers on the short bus.  I mean really, if you communicate strictly in emojis and that ebonics fake word hood speak stuff, contemplate walking across a highway while texting, just for me...  Have your friends record it and upload it to Instagram for me, you...

Zero way for end user / customer of WordPress to determine what is malware, what is coded poorly, etc.   In fact WordPress is targeted at know-nothings who don't want a CompSci degree to launch their website, put our brochure for new product, etc. "WordPress.com is the easiest way to create a...

Price wise, if you aren't buying the premium newer CPU lines, there is Dacentec, there are multiple provider in Kansas City.   None of those offer DDoS protection at current, at least officially at last glance. I want to say that server + DDoS protect as OVH does it is novel and price point...

Why do guys buy brands, then fail to renew at the rates customers prior bought in.  Are you owners that STUPID?  No pre-buy research and risk assessment.  I don't get deals gone wrong like that.  Sure WLS sold idiot plans, but Hostwinds bought such, assumed it all, saw value, except for this...

ARM would be nice in SD portfolio.   Pricing just is too high on the gear at this point and as you pointed to earlier, vendor solutions for prepackaged is both pricey and limited. For the next year or two, ARM is still a DIY solution to build / cobble a rackable cluster, unless you have deep...

These are mega neat and new to me.  Any idea of the price point on the Ti SensorTags?

Woke up this morning to my USB device offline.  Problem is the ARM computer it is attached to... Unsure if power savings or what.   Had to hard power reset the damn thing.  Unsure if dealing with software settings at play or if the Octa ARM technically is crashing - no terminal response and it...

Anyone out there using any of the alternative phone OSes yet?  Firefox OS, Ubuntu's Phone OS, etc. Been waiting to see a push and phones have launched and seeing little coverage here/

Too many jerks in hosting that are just here for the 'easy' money.  Lack of legal teeth to sink in bad actors yields generations of hit and run accidents posing as businesses, when they are not. Reason why for many years I've advocated keeping bad companies and questionable n00bs under the...

I'll raise my stupid hand. I find email to be one of the worst, outdated, clumsy and deficient ways of interacting with others.  There is no great reason for email to exist today.  Just inheritance mainly. I am forced to use email and detest it ... for business. My value in it, is...

Very big pain. There are some "easy" to use scripts and howtos... but too many moving parts, too much that can and will break... Too many issues with lists and crypto. It can be done on a 1GB VPS instance for something like your minimal needs.  Getting it to work and continue working is...

That's why those places are meh :)   Guillotines purged the French of their leadership plagues in the past, call it inheritance.   History repeats itself for a reason.

So I picked up one of the TemperUSB thermometers. Works well aside from the USB security crap Linux seems to always get in the way of everything and without easy enough documentation to resolve the issue. Means basically running things as root.   Meh, I stay root, but yeah, crontab won't...

Ouch.  That is HUUUUGGE. HP bias earned or just for the ARM line :) ?  

I think companies like these have things still online. Maybe not that failed panel but other assets.  Usually that's what I see.  Some subset of customers somehow using something else on same box / instance and that's alive so other stuff is afterthought / isolated for subset of customers.  True...

Amateurs sheesh. We'd do that one properly.. Like Incero owns...

Digital Ocean has done wonders with their tutorials.  Definitely a viable competitor who has spent to amass what they have in that regard.

Keep the photos coming :) Still enjoying yourself in Birmingham?  Enjoying the reduction of winter?

and I'd like to see Octave put his big foot in his mouth on this and leave France... I don't see it happening as OVH allegedly is a big recipient of government handouts. I'd like someone to push data on this out to public or substantiate the claim.  I  am unsure of the status either way...
