    Silkroad Staff Arrested

    Just because drug addicts are stupid inregards to drugs does not mean they're unintelligent. It's also extremely unlikely that the government is going to go after any of the buyers or even most sellers. They only took down the site for the PR headline as, like almost everything they do, it will...

    Have any firmware updates added IPMI IPv6 only addressing?

    Laptop or Tower PC?

    That's pretty much the build I'm doing, you should be able to build it yourself for $400 tops.

    Target confirms leak of 40mil CC data

    For once I'm glad to live in Canada, we just got Target :), and I've been doing quite a bit of holiday shopping there.

    Laptop or Tower PC?

    I've been working off a laptop for the last 6 months and I'm building myself a desktop for Christmas.  I'm not a gamer so I'm going with an AMD APU, 8gb of ram and SSD to start, it's great to have a laptop but for work I want a desktop with dual monitors. If you want something really portable...

    Console Access: VPS vs Dedicated Server

    Seems like most providers don't offer a separate port for IPMI, so if you screw up your network configuration you're screwed. When I was setting up a dedi with Reprise they included IPMI, however when I was playing with the Proxmox I managed to break my network config, more then once rendering...

    DC in Canada for colo?

    Peer1?  Toronto or Vancouver, probably the best you'll find in Canada.  From what I can tell, having a POP in Canada doesn't always make sense if you're trying to target the Canadian market as most traffic (at least from Vancouver) will go SEA > CHI > NYC > Toronto/Montreal

    Running your own vestacp instance

    Ah, I figured as much.  I got confused when he said certs for the web, I assumed he meant the panel itself. At least my default domain has SSL now :)   I'll get around to it eventually, just haven't had much of a need as I'm the only one who sees the panel.

    Running your own vestacp instance

    How?  Editing default domain?  I haven't figured out how to do this yet for the CP only domains, been too lazy to install my cert through SSH. Very happy with VestaCP so far, it's been 3x WordPress sites and some random others for me for the last 2 months and it's been working great.  Their UI...

    UGVPS = Thomas Dale = Crystal Dale = ChicagoVPS = Dig the Mine

    How would such a small company end yp in that kins of debt... I don't see CC/cVPS extending that kind of credit to someone with a history of bad credit and no legal incorporation? I could be wrong but I can't imagine their operating expenses are that high and they must have some income as...

    UGVPS = Thomas Dale = Crystal Dale = ChicagoVPS = Dig the Mine

    Yes.   As I said on LET, no credit check is required to open a PayPal account.  I've heard of people with bad credit having their account frozen after some fishy activities, i.e. many charge backs but if you open a business, you should be able to open a business paypal and business checking...

    Email services - your opinion?

    I feel it's too difficult/too much of a hassle to host an SMTP server these days.   With all the SBL, RBL, IP reputation lists, etc.. provider lists, it's almost impossible to keep all email going where it should.   A lot of time it's the customers fault for their mail being rejected but I have...

    UGVPS = Thomas Dale = Crystal Dale = ChicagoVPS = Dig the Mine

    Far as I can tell from that thread, she was aware of, if not complicit in the "fraud" until recently.  Now that UGVPS has tanked and won't be providing her any income she wants to come clean?  She stated herself that she was aware of the activity and just had not done anything until recently...

    How do you upload your files to your webserver?

    Typically SFTP via SmartFTP, if it's a large file I'll upload to the server closest to me then wget or rsync it to the server I need it on.

    RHEL 7 beta released

    I guess I can understand why they dropped x86 but why drop single core support?

    BuyVM announces free backups for all 256MB+ OpenVZ plans!

    Will customers be able to download their OVZ templates or snapshots?  I don't have a BuyVM but these features would probably make me buy one.

    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps

    You're welcome :)  That's about my only complaint with NX, NoMachine is working on an iOS/Android client but it will likely be 4.x only when it is released.

    Windows users

    SecureCRT is great but PuTTY works just fine.  Your text editor suggestions are right on the money, hard to beat NotePad++ or Sublime, although Geany is also great.   I'm surprised no one has mentioned SmartFTP yet, it's the best FTP/SFTP/FTPS/SCP client I've ever used.

    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps

    I've been pretty busy, had a nasty bug to fix in Debian x64 before I could release this into the wild but here it is: Tested on Debian 7 & Ubuntu 12-13 wget http://www.sonicboxes.com/nx/autolxde.sh chmod 755 autolxde.sh ./autolxde.sh For full tutorial & links to Clients for Win, Linux, OSX &...

    Race to the Bottom News: 2GB RAM, 2IPs for $1.67 monthly

    3 Year terms aren't uncommon in the shared hosting world, can't say I've ever seen it on for a VPS though.  I used ChicagoVPS once when they had the 512/$2 "Birthday" deal, what a mistake... The VPS was crap and I got to have my personal information leaked :)
