There's simply not enough information available about the hitmen thing, as of yet, to say anything useful about it. Not to mention that it's completely irrelevant to the rest of the article.

Quick analysis of the consequences of this bust that I wrote earlier today: http://joepie91.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/a-realistic-analysis-of-the-fallout-of-the-silk-road-bust/

Others do. And generally, it's a bad idea to base rulemaking on lack of ability to see/understand/recognize something.

The word "terrorism" and "aimed at the armed forces and their families" have exactly zero to do with each other. It's used as a buzzword quite a bit, though. A bit like "cloud", except the use of "terrorism" as a buzzword has slightly more nefarious purposes. You're kidding, right?

More like libvirt + openvz = your shit will break randomly and refuse to work for no discernible reason. I'm not the only one with this issue, I've heard quite a few other people confirm that they had the same issue. Not something you want to make a production panel rely on.

Why not just do something like this? https://github.com/joepie91/cvm/blob/develop/runhelper/runhelper PHP passes on the to-be-run command to the Python script in base64-encoded form (so no escaping madness), Python then runs it and provides the output in JSON format (this was to deal with the...

Why is your tower tilted sidewards?

Hi all, I'm looking for people to help translate CVM to their native language. I've set up a Transifex project for it: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/cvm/ - help would be much appreciated :) After registering on Transifex you can 'join a team' (language) and start translating straight...

Personally, I consider this the best move, and would very much recommend other providers to do the same (after backing up the database, obviously). There's been quite a bit of root-level-compromise nastiness going around... fair chance that some of the masters have been messed around with in a...

Be aware that, unless you invent some other kind of meaning for the term, this will probably become trademark hell :)

Close, but not entirely. Open-source isn't about free availability, it's about free redistribution. While free availability can technically happen with paid/private open-source software (because whoever bought the software decided to put it online for free, legally), it's not a given. It's very...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source Open-source doesn't mean that the source code is visible, it entails free distribution as well. The whole internal flamewar in the open-source community about how 'open' would not be clear enough so a new term ('free' and then 'libre') had to be...

Depends. It's fairly common to offer both a GPL-licensed version (that requires redistribution of changes) and a (paid) version under a proprietary license that allows to modify it without having to redistribute the changes. That wouldn't work for BSD-licensed software, though.

Well, that's the only explanation I can think of... but that would mean that it technically doesn't require a license to install and use.

Regardless of any VPS panel projects already existing, I would not recommend starting out with a VPS panel when you're just learning PHP :) That said, the state of software in the hosting industry is generally quite sad, so I'm sure there will be a host with an idea.

Not so much refering to that data loss issue in particular, as it is a warning that there may very well be other undocumented 'manholes' in MongoDB. I'm actually curious now, what are your thoughts on CouchDB overall?

Then it's not open-source, but just readable source, a very different concept. One lets you freely reuse and redistribute the software, the other doesn't. EDIT: Huh? How are you going to 'require a license to install and use in production' when the source is licensed under a BSD license? That...

Providers have known that there are (security) issues with SolusVM for a long time, it just wasn't considered an urgent issue because nothing was being exploited in the wild. This was also one of the primary reasons for starting development on CVM; the security aspect. Whether people will 'be...

Since everybody and their dog have started writing VPS panels, I figured I might as well provide an update on CVM, answering some frequently asked questions. Is CVM still being developed? Yes. Why isn't it done yet? As the amount of donations I received for CVM were nowhere near covering my...
