    Apache on Centos 7 - what is -DFOREGROUND ?

    That foreground option is also used with docker. You always need a foreground process running in a docker instance. The normal apache way is to fork a background process and that causes docker to shutdown the instance. So you use either this -D FOREGROUND option or a separate program that...

    Stephen Hawking on AI - "Could end the human race"

    This is the same argument that farm workers made in the 19th century. Machines would render them jobless and when people would have no jobs who would buy all that produce? It's the same argument Americans make today about the rise of China. Chinese are stealing our jobs and when we have no jobs...

    EFF Certificate Authority - Free SSLs! - Lets Encrypt

    They're partnering with an existing CA from the old guard so there must be some plan. According to this article they are trying to make it easier to get and install a cert. If you have root access to your server you run their script and it acquires the cert and does the server configuration for...

    Hardening my server / Reality check

    You shouldn't be blocking at all. Since you have a strong SSH password they are basically hitting a brick wall. Let them bang their heads against it as much as they like. It doesn't hurt you. What does hurt you is blocking 1000s of IPs like this. If you are really worried about this you can...

    Do you use Bitcoin?

    Bitpay is regulated. You may want to look up bitlicense as well. Bitcoin is actually a much better deal for merchants than for consumers. That is why merchant adoption has been so great. For consumers bitcoin is volatile and you can't chargeback so if you send money to the wrong party you are...

    Do you use Bitcoin?

    You guys need to talk about your services on bitcointalk forums and on the bitcoin sub-reddit. Only then will the word get out that here's a host that takes btc. Another place is the bitcoin wiki at bitcoin.it. There is a list there for web hosting providers and you should add yourselves to it...

    Dreamhost switches to Ubuntu

    870 doesn't seem like a lot for what is supposed to be one of the largest hosts in the world. I would have guessed tens of thousands.

    Things that happen or annoy you in this industry...

    I'd like to see providers list payment methods they accept in a standardized way. A link to a page titled payment methods would be ideal. Right now the closest thing to a standard is to go through WHMCS ordering until you hit the last page where they are all listed.

    Your opinion as a dedicated server customer

    I'm not sure I understand the question in the OP. Is it a case of always on access but restricted to your IPs vs. time limited access that you have to activate yourself? I would prefer the latter because my ISP assigns dynamic IPs and there is no reason to keep something running that you only...
