    You wouldn't download a car, would you? How about, 3D print a castle?

    Only one way really to test the build quality...who's up for laying siege with me?

    How I know your hosting or VPS company isn't real in 30 seconds.

    traceroute to your home page. If I see you're hosted on OVH...forget it.

    Well this looks legit

    Where are the Tech Support Awards being held this year?  Is Billy Crystal hosting again?

    BuyVM - New website design?

    I can't wait to click on Careers. Though I suspect it's going to be something like "Junior Towel Boy at the Corral".

    cPanel Supports LiteSpeed Web Server

    Well damn, I had a beautiful rant all ready but Aldryic beat me to it.  Freakin' time zones.

    Linux on PogoPlug

    I had a couple Soekris boxes which I had no particular use for but enjoyed the ultra-low-power geekery of it.  Hoping for a similar experience here.

    Advice for a new host...

    I think that template is every summer host's website these days.  Ugh.

    Advice for a new host...

    In the next iteration of IPB (4.0, coming soon-ish) you could buy IP.Nexus without buying IP.Board. That said, IP.Nexus doesn't support Solus natively, though you could code it.  My experience with Nexus is that it was written to support (a) help customers sell stuff shopping-cart style and (b)...

    Linux on PogoPlug

    Thanks for the tip.  Do you have another guide you've used?

    Linux on PogoPlug

    I saw a thread over at Less Exciting Talk about these guys.  I should have resisted.  But only $7.  Amazon says $10.95 now but mine was $6.71 with free shipping. What use will I have for a 128MB ARM device with Ethernet, USB, and SD card?  I don't know.  But you can run Debian on them.  So it's...

    RaptorNode has been apparently hacked.

    I think KuJope is @KuJoe 's distant cousin from Bangalore.

    Any CenturyLink customers here?

    Probably not hugely relevant, but I had CenturyLink for 5+ years in Portland and they were fine. The only reason I switched to Comcast is that the best CenturyLink could do is 5/1, whereas Comcast does 50/10. I'm still extremely frustrated that Frontier/Verizon FIOS is available a few blocks...

    Chromebook, yes or no?

    Had one.  Sold it. Just too many limitations.  If I'm just going to consume content, I'd rather have a tablet.  If I'm going to play games - well, none available really (there are some for tablet but I still like more complicated ones which means a laptop).  If I'm going to get some work done...

    Whats happening with 123Systems?

    Persistent, undenied rumors that Chicago VPS bought them. 123 has been garbage for years, though, so I don't really care.

    Importance of a SLA

    I don't consider SLAs when making a decision, at least not in this arena. If my service is down and I get a credit...great, but I'd prefer it didn't go down.  If I was running something really important, then I'd probably have to engineer some kind of high availability and I wouldn't need your...

    I'm not sure, but I think something is wrong with my CrashPlan...

    It did actually sort itself and is reporting accurate info now.  No idea what was wrong.

    If you mean Twitter, there are no codes there.
