    Home security systems?

    It's just a different way of living. The threat is everywhere but in general, as a culture, we don't expect other people to protect us. Given that people are so consistently corrupt and selfish all over the world, it's not unreasonable to feel most comfortable taking care of yourself. Common...

    Is IPMI important for a Dedi?

    Missed that. Definitely settles the issue for me, if I were shopping.

    Is IPMI important for a Dedi?

    I consider it important because I have two potential reasons, of equal importance to me, for having a budget dedi. 1. Backups 2. Testing grounds If #2, I will be reluctant to bother you for a budget system to reinstall as often as I may need depending on what it is that I'm testing (and...

    Good qualifications for hosting/internet related jobs?

    Learn to program. Learn C, PHP, Python, all that good stuff. The real money goes to good programmers. At least that's my take from recent research.

    NSA project, "X-Keyscore" collects nearly everything you do on the internet.

    They went too far. They have to be dethroned. No other acceptable resolution. All power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Good luck removing theirs peacefully. "The most transparent administration ever." ...my ass. I realize this reads like I'm about to start the...

    Bitcoin now Illegal in Thailand

    Good for them. Bitcoins are nothing more than a hippie invention by a bunch of pirates, script kiddies, and child porn lovers.

    IPMI/BMC vulnerabilities

    Every WSI/Datashack customer who requests IPMI and doesn't secure it, if you can even do that with the trashy one they use, certainly does. Google indexes a lot of these things. It's an all you can eat buffet of wide open onboard IPMI. Googling for fun I see universities, large corporations, and...

    GreenValueHost - OpenVZ VPS BLOWOUT! 30GB HDD, 1GB RAM, 2TB BW, 2 IPs only $2.95/mo or $20/year!

    That's the martyr card I'm talking about. If you're proud of colocrossing then keep your chin up and stay proud. You've posted more about colocrossing hatred than any other single person that I've seen lately. It kind of comes across as two guys chilling on the couch not saying a word, and one...

    Good ol' debate OpenVZ vs KVM - Why yes, why not?

    Honestly, I still prefer OpenVZ most of the time. It's more efficient. Bare metal performance on enterprise hardware at low cost, significant amount of overhead left to the host OS.

    My ioping is better than your DD

    I can't imagine what one person would run, that I wouldn't immediately heavily ionice (because we'd have to be talking serious, lagging out the entire node territory), that would cause such a low result from a dd test. What I think we're all forgetting is a time not too long ago when an...

    GreenValueHost - OpenVZ VPS BLOWOUT! 30GB HDD, 1GB RAM, 2TB BW, 2 IPs only $2.95/mo or $20/year!

    It's funny because it wasn't that long ago people were getting sick of the colocrossing bashing. Now I'm getting sick of the paranoid "everything is an insult aimed at colocrossing" attitude. You're not cheering for an underdog when referring to the company that single handedly owns the low end...

    Cache side-channel attack for VMs

    I'm no hacker but this kind of thing has always struck me as a potential risk in a shared environment, but one of low priority as most people are never a target until an automated brainless script is made for the skids. That said, it's certainly an interesting discussion to have, and who knows...

    New York - What Interest is there?

    Problem, in my opinion, would be getting people to read past a title when we're in a situation where you could toss a rock and hit 1500 new startups declaring themselves as NY VPS providers. A NY offering with a quality blend and not racked with 40,000 other Velocity Servers clients would be a...

    My ioping is better than your DD

    Basically I would have to agree that the test serves a purpose. Perhaps it is held too highly and it's results considered too relevant, but that reality does nothing to decrease it's relevance. If I run a dd test and get 5mb/s I'm never returning because this provider is clearly allowing insane...
