    Best not wordpress blogging platform?

    I don't think there's a way implement comments without something running on the server side.  So either you use some centralized place like disqus (paste in their javascript) or you have a php/whatever running on your server, receiving AJAX calls and storing it in a DB.  Or your whole blog is...

    Best not wordpress blogging platform?

    You should probably be more specific in your needs.   I blog with Jekyll, and have also used Pelican.  Both are static site generators - you write a post, then update your site.  Disqus for comments (which I'm not 100% comfortable with because it's a centralized tracker but I haven't explored...

    Task tracking for the VERY busy folks out there - recommendations?

    "Fran broke it." "Waiting for Fran to fix it." "It's Fran'd up." "This is a long-range, deep backburner task, so we can wait to ask Aldryic when he's sober."

    For those of you using GMail, how often do you backup your mailbox?

    I periodically open Outlook on my desktop and let it download all the mails.  That's the extent of my backups. I should look into gmvault - thanks. BTW, Google administratively closing your mailbox is not the only threat.  What if Google is hacked or has some malicious internal activity?

    Task tracking for the VERY busy folks out there - recommendations?

    I'm a big fan of Toodledo. It's web-based and there are also iOS/Android apps.  You can email stuff to it as well, they have a full API, etc. The interface is not the prettiest, but it supports everything - contexts, due dates, start dates in the future, stars, folders, priority, status, tags...

    A visual comparison of provider's and their custom control panels. Lots of screenshots!

    Are you looking for more? 6sync has a custom control panel (biscuit) which is quite nice, though it seems frozen in time...I don't think it's changed in 5 years.  Everything works except a couple features that have been "coming soon" for a long time. But it's nice. Linode has a custom panel...

    Vultr Buglandia.

    Must be that, ah, "R&D". DaveA commented on LET that he wouldn't tell anyone details about how Vultr runs (such as if they're using RAID0) because he needed to protect their R&D and if he shared details, anyone could "buy the same Solus modules". Of course, if anyone can buy the same Solus...

    Encrypt Files With Vim

    One of those "I never knew it could do this" things.   Starting vim with the -x flag will prompt you for an encryption key.  After you enter it twice, vim will encrypt the file.  If you later vim the file, vim will discover the file is encrypted (because a magic is prepended) and prompt for the...

    Do you run VPSes with only ipv6? Anything break?

    Yes - I think Debian's gai.conf uses ipv6 by default but good to put on the checklist.  Thanks.

    Do you run VPSes with only ipv6? Anything break?

    I have some VPSes that don't need ipv4.  They're backup servers, monitoring, etc.  So I was thinking of turning off ipv4 (inside the VPS - I am not the provider). Mainly doing this just so I'm using ipv6 more and to get more familiar with it. I'm wondering if there are any gotchas, anything...

    Justification for IPv6?

    Might be something hardwired into their client management script. I.e. They can only customize strings not modify the flow (or don't know how).

    What's your favorite christmas movie and why is it "A Christmas Story" ?

    I prefer the George C Scott Christmas Carol. Or Scrooged :-( I like old movies...last couple years the wife and I have made White Christmas our Christmas movie. I'm kind if burned out on It's a Wonderful Life. Do the Die Hard movies qualify as Christmas movies? ;-)
