    A20-OLinuXino-LIME

    Yesterday a local retrailer sold the A20-OLinuXino-LIME for €20 and I could not resist to get a replacement for my Raspberry Pi. The essentail parts of the package: Allwinner A20 dual core Cortex-A7 processor @1Ghz Allwinner dual-core Mali 400 GPU 512MB DDR3 RAM memory SATA connector with 5V...

    Windows 10 Free Upgrade Available in 190 Countries Today

    Second that. Maybe I will kill my old Windows 7 PC in favor for Windows 10. But I won't touch my Windows 8.1 working machine.

    Impact VPS: 1GB RAM $24 Yearly and 4 Cores 4GB RAM 5 IPs $7 | Now With More SSD Disk!

    Diskspace is too small to use the packages for more than one vps.

    The Network, The Internet, The Lone Server

    So whats network routing for me? Basically: - Routing (so what path my packages go) - Quality (ping and package loss%) - Number of Hops - Brands Scope: - See if I get what I am paying for.    Both providers and datacenters do change the mix of their connections. - See where problems...

    Little Happy Cloud - new service from LES

    I read "happy little cloud" and just thought that it is a cool name for a LES service. Cannot imagine that someone thought that this could be something like a new Azure competive...

    OpenVZ

    It might be too short to boil this down to just KVM vs OpenVZ. OpenVZ like Xen does have the disadvantage of patches. LXC and KVM are part of the kernel. And even if OpenVZ is closed ... it is all about patching a RHEL kernel. And a single company able to patch it. I am not talking about the...

    Random process name sending DDoS

    As @Munzy says. There are a lot of outdated images flying aroung. And autostarting vps won't help either. 5 out of 10 vps I ordered through the last two years where outdated and did have a running ssh and apache webserver with really bad default settings.  Ordered them, went to work, coming...

    I agree, but Silverlight should be closed too - like Flash and Shockwave.

    Random process name sending DDoS

    This won't help if you do not limit the amount of failed logins per minute / per ip.

    Running a FreeBSD server with jails

    That is all about fancy names and marketing.  They all do solve different problems. The root of all solutions is chroot. Chroot does have it's flaws but mainly because it was build just to change the "root tree" of the filesystem. No virtual network and no separate process views and other main...

    Running a FreeBSD server with jails

    I would not use any real network device for vms. Look at my tutorial at the section of this code: gateway_enable="YES" cloned_interfaces="lo10" ifconfig_lo10_alias0="inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_lo10_alias1="inet 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0" That will create a...

    Oracle released VirtualBox 5.0! New features and many improvements.

    I was disappointed about the gui, but after looking at the settings of a VM... Encryption, Video recording, more than one monitor, possibility to alter the menues per VM, heck what a great release.
