    New SolusVM Beta Build Security Update Rev13 8/27/2013

    We're using the broken-ass ModulesGarden Solus module. It's very broken-ass, but one of the benefits over the Solus-provided module is that it has a mechanism for console access, which means we could continue to sell KVMs and people could set up their OS on them. The module doesn't show KVM...

    Replicating Linux block devices within the same server?

    I'm not sure that the RAID idea would be the best method... yes it would work, but as you pointed out, it would crap up the write speed to the entire array, kinda negating the point of using SSDs. I don't have enough experience with mdadm to know if I could mangle it to work otherwise. The...

    Replicating Linux block devices within the same server?

    The storage device is slower and a different size than the device to be replicated. I'm looking to replicate an SSD array to a single mechanical drive.

    Replicating Linux block devices within the same server?

    I'm attempting to effect short-delay syncing. I'd like either blocks or files to be synced within a few seconds up to one minute, whereas something like rsnapshot on an hourly basis will have too much of a potential data delta.  Anyone have brainy ideas on how to replicate one block device to...

    Taking a couple years off... College

    And throwing another wrench into the works is that today our landlord offered to sell us our house for $reasonableamount that, if we kept paying the same that we do now, the house would be paid off in ~8 years when i'm 36 and the wife is 35. I think we would be fools to not take them up on the...

    Taking a couple years off... College

    At 28 years old, I'll be attending college within the next year or two. I also feel that this will be mostly a waste of time or that I don't really see the entire value of doing so, as I, through experience and relationships, have advanced to making a nice pile of money per year on my own...

    Best support system / live help system ?

    We use WHMCS ticket system. For live support, we used to use Rhino Business ( https://www.livesupportrhino.com/rhino-business ) and really liked it. It did everything we were looking for. Don't bother with any of the other versions of Rhino, they're all weirdly crippled in one way or another.

    Do you wear computer glasses? Share your experience

    If your room is dark, you might want to try a bias light:  A bit of an exaggerated picture, but visualizes the idea. There's kits on Amazon for <$20.

    Do you wear computer glasses? Share your experience

    Is your computer's window resolution set to the appropriate value for the monitor? I specifically use a monitor with best resolution 1944x1280 despite 2580x1600 resolution being "the best" now because 1944x1280 hurts my eyes less. This comes from someone who wears glasses as a requirement of...

    BuyVM ToS Changes

    Also regarding the affiliate program, might want to add a clause that you'll only pay out on active services. We had a rash of someone signing up for 50+ services, then cancelling them a couple of weeks later and wanting the affiliate payout. No no.

    BuyVM ToS Changes

    I'll be honest that I'm surprised that these rules weren't in place already. We've had them in place for years, and I consider you guys to be far more advanced than us ;) Regarding the affiliate program, is it truly new or has it had a soft release?

    Provider - Posting Rules

    I agree with these both. None of us are 'fraid to speak out against injustices; let the community lynch if needed. Unless it's @kuunu, because he'll never understand or care.

    PSA: Notification of Quotes

    AWESOME! You're my hero. It was pissing me off that I wouldn't ever get updated about threads and then I'd lose them.

    How to rebuild your company image?

    Anyone else wonder why kuunu starts threads, or posts questions in other threads, then never returns to respond? Yeah me too.

    Testing BBS software on my vps

    Oh man that's cool! Are there any door games available? From time to time I hanker for some BRE/SRE and LORD. Looks like you just barely missed it then as I'm 28 and have many fond memories of spending many hours wasting time on BBS The Online Pitstop 402-292-3637 as my dad had a free unlimited...

    Running a MongoDB cluster

    Do you happen to have any tips or best practices for keeping the Mongo cluster online and preventing the database from corrupting itself? We have a 3-node Mongo cluster in place and it's, hands down, the most fragile thing ever.

    3D Printers, anyone have one yet?

    Y'know, I keep looking at 3D printers, and keep thinking "boy, that looks cool" and that's all I ever notice about it... that it looks cool. I can't think of anything practical to do with them... so they're in the "a neat toy someday" bin at the moment.
