    OVH intends to ruin the hosting industry.

     The objective is to avoid individual encryption systems that will further delay the investigation. The objective rather is to have a dumbed down public unable to defend their soft bodies from even paper cuts.  Referring to the anti gunner status of France. No terroristastas or their...

    How to do the following...

    Mail server isn't low resources normally... not simple to install nor to keep healthy. Lighty and Nginx are very approachable first steps in DIY install config world.  MySQL or better, MariaDB is pedestrian self install via whatever install method your OS offers.  I encourage you to use...

    Intel presents new Compute Sticks

    Yes sir, that's going to be the volume of the purchases. With so much competition for set top box space, I am ahhh weary of anyone intending on occupying that space.  TV's are SMART more and and more.  You have the very cheap Raspberry Pi's with KODI running that bunch of folks around here...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    You know that you have two full plates and a clock short of hours... Still why I am head scratching on the role you took for shits and giggles.   I mean if someone I'd greenlight out of the random community there, you'd be top of the list... and well you'd get paid as a professional... I think...

    New Year's resolutions - 2016

    Count me in on the ARM bandwagon.   This is my tech list...  ARM - use it on LAN and in the datacenter - where feasible   Get back to lowly resources on RAM, CPU, etc.  on the LAN and in the DC.  Too many fat pig Intel boxes and they are net loss for hobby use.   Find a decent ARM...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    Lack of privacy policies and proper disclosures are a signature of the Buffalo guys.  Zero *ucks given about such, sadly.  Someday, maybe, they'll get around to photocopying some policies and doing the right thing.  Sad a$$e$. Unsure why any site hands out logs and other data to workers. ...

    And...  I just ran over to Lowendtalk and WTF do I find???????? <!-- Piwik --> <script type="text/javascript"> var _paq = _paq || []; _paq.push(['trackPageView']); _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']); (function() { var u="//piwik.lowend.io/"; _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl'...

    ARM has legs. Real world use.

    @KuJoe ouch! As usual, the cost millions... how?

    Starting a VPS business with $10,000. How would you spend it?

    $7/TB won't work in legitimate shop. Will have to be a bunch of servers in a cluster with a distributed set up.  So things are going to either cost dearly or perform like crap. Fails will be spectacular also. Can probably do something with crap archive large TB drives and refurb white...

    Intel presents new Compute Sticks

    Much too expensive. There are versions of these and competing sticks out there with Linux support.  Haven't picked one up yet, but, definitely interesting.  Atoms I think all the cheaper ones are.  I vaguely recall Newegg having said sticks ~ $100. Problem I have with the cheap sticks is...

    ARM device with decent disk performance?

    Definitely an interesting device.   I've stayed away from that brand due to high price point relatively speaking and the OS option front side is OpenElec and Android.  Unsure if these have more community support out there. I know the Gigabit on these is half speed / not up to spec due to...

    ARM has legs. Real world use.

    Ahh that $370 million Israeli company....  Their chips are in a few Synology NAS units, but haven't used anything from them yet. Their niche seems to be 64-bit ARM + IoT / homes.... With emphasis on multiple gigabit connectivity.  Meh. I run Gbit all over here unless a device just doesn't...

    ARM device with decent disk performance?

    I actually found the Rikomagic as an open box / used thing.  Paid very little for it relative to the upwards of $145-200 they seem to be asking for them currently. I'll only buy ARM at $0 to $80.  Nothing shipping at this time to justify more unless they include a display or something original.

    ARM has legs. Real world use.

    Which OrangePi did you pick up @KuJoe?  The models are a bit confusing / not obvious...  Did you find a US supplier that ships quick that you can recommend?  Finding the OrangePis is pointing to China and I have no patience with slow boats.

    320,000 Time Warner Customers comrpromised.

    You'd think these big companies would have web based cloud solutions they entirely control and nothing handed to vendors....  Some day someone will sue this into reality.

    320,000 Time Warner Customers comrpromised.

    Another day and more irresponsible companies up to no good.  Today, Time Warner dropped the ball on this one... 320k people have their passwords out there.   Time Warner Cable Inc said on Wednesday up to 320,000 customers may have had their email passwords stolen. The company said email and...

    ARM device with decent disk performance?

    Allwinner is clearly a PITA.  Quite a shame because they have capable gear.  Strange approach they are taking to not support their hardware for Linux and closed / lacking drivers. The Sunxi site is a great reference.  Much appreciated on that.
