    Best < $15 VPS?

    Ha, I did too. OP, if you're just sorting by GB RAM divided by price, you'll end up with bad hosts.  Once you get into a rough tier of service and you find similar prices, reputation is more important.

    PayPal address confirmation

    Every support department in the entire world is continuously experiencing heavy call volume. If every time I call a company and they're experiencing heavy call volume, then that's normal call volume.

    Hey Xen people - what is rcu_sched?

    True enough - 2.6 on everything. A BuyVM OvZ has  3.2.0-042stab084.3 and I don't see them there, but that's OvZ so probably doesn't apply.

    Hey Xen people - what is rcu_sched?

    Interesting - I don't see them on any other Linux boxes I run.  Then again, none of the others are running Ubuntu 14.04

    Hey Xen people - what is rcu_sched?

    I'm running a Linux VM in the Azure Cloud.  I believe they use a customized Xen kernel.  I notice there are 64 'rcuos' processes and 64 'rcuob' processes.  There's also 'rcu_sched' and "rcu_bh" running. I was wondering what these processes are for...I found this...

    [C++] extreme fast counting of files in directory

    unsigned long is platform dependent.  It could be as small as 16-bit. long long, on the other hand, is guaranteed to be 64 bits on all platforms.  However, the only guaranteed range is -2^31-1 to 2^31-1.  Stupid. If you know that you are running on a 64-bit platform, then unsigned long will...

    WHMCS tweaks?

    Turning off licensedebug, forceremote, and revokelocal in configuration.php.  There's really no need for any user on the Internet to be able to call these functions. In configuration.php: if(isset($_GET['licensedebug'])) { unset($_GET['licensedebug']); exit('Contact support if you need...

    Secure Dragon LLC. - Now in Atlanta! (and still in FL, CO, IL, and CA) Happy Birthday vpsBoard, enjo

    Hey KuJoe - your email announcement yesterday said "Portland - Once our Ohio node has shipped we will begin working on getting our new Portland location setup." So that means you're going to offer non-DDOS-protected OvZ in Portland?  If so, looking forward to it.   Which DC are you in for...

    Limit cpu usage of a program

    Interesting. Basically, the target process, which you can specify by pid, name, or command line, is continuosly paused and resumed by sending it SIGSTOP and SIGCONT signals. SIGSTOP can't be trapped, so that makes sense.   I wonder how this would work under high load (i.e...

    free subdomain hosting script?

    KuJoe wrote a book on this subject. Did you read it? It's available as a free pdf. Finding it is left as an exercise for the reader.

    Multiple offers in less then 7 days

    I think that's the best way to handle it, rather than spend time trying to come up with a rule for every possible future scenario.

    Proxying a port (cPanel/WHM specifically) on another server?

    Ah, I'd discounted that because I assumed it was still http://whm.example.com:2087 - I'll investigate.  Thanks.
