Keep in mind there are some pros to that $30/year VPN service.  A semi-tech friend was looking for a VPN service and signed up with privateinternetaccess which was a good choice for him - I don't know about that particular provider, but he didn't have to manage the server.  If you don't what to...

"The reason politics in academia are so nasty is that the stakes are so low."   -- Henry Kissinger "Welcome to the next level: USENET."   -- popular saying circa 1994 I guess now we say, Welcome to the 21st century level: public datacenters. The drama these people revolve around amazes me...

Dammit, I missed the pictures.

Just did :-) Well...an email, given the WHMCS situation.

He seems to have been rather stupid... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24371894 I've never run a major global criminal ring on the Internet, but if I did...I could not be careful enough.  Certainly a lot more careful than this guy.

Nice.  The guitar in that song is really hot. It's really hard to keep things secret when you have a large number of people involved, not all of whom are security-conscious.  And when your adversary has virtually unlimited resources and is highly motivated. As is so often the case...it's not...

One that is often forgotten is to version and backup configuration. Examples: dpkg -l or rpm -qa ifconfig -a df -h and mount chkconfig (is there a Debian equiv? I don't know - shows what runs at various run levels) etcetera.  You can get some or all of that from a backup of /etc, but it's...

If so then then whatever output you want to grab is actually going to STDERR instead of STDOUT.  That's what 2>&1 does - it says "take whatever is going to file descripter 2 (standard error) and send it to file descripter 1 (standard output) instead" - effectively merging stderr and stdout. You...

It's might be one of those tedious quote level things. You could try this to get a sense of what exactly is happening: my $cmdOut = `set -x && ssh -o strictHostKeyChecking=no -l $user -i $keyFile $routeServer \"ping -c4 4.2.2.3\" 2>&1`; That will make the shell echo - unfortunately, you'll...

Are you going to increase transfer for KVMs the way you're doing OvZ?  Just curious. Good news all around!  I guess Canadians celebrate Christmas in September.

I think either will work fine...you can always tune down MySQL to use little memory.  I've run php + fpm + nginx + mysql on a 128/128 with deb 7.  Just don't have too many visitors :) A good example article on tuning down...

There was a long peak but now it's back to normal - less than 10% Actually, during this peak, the KVM would periodically drop off the network entirely - couldn't ping to/from it or connect in any way except the console. A ticket fixed it...seems to be running, as submariners say about...

Dude...this is vpsboard. To to OP, Germany is subject to the EU data retention law (while ironically there is no retention law in the US).  I'm not sure about Iceland but they probably are as well.

Nyah, I give credit where it's due.  I just don't think much is due here  :P In my opinion, if you remove the cosmetic changes, there just isn't much different about IOS 7...and the cosmetic changes don't improve it much.  Round buttons instead of square ones to type in my pin code...this is...

That pretty much sums up my take. Change for change sake. Makes things harder to read.  Sort of like Microsoft did with Office 2013 vs Office 2010 - everything's skinny-fonted, lack of contrast. Fisher-Price icons.   I'm running it on a 4S.  The only reason I have an iPhone is that it's...

When I ran a cpanel server, I found ConfigServer Firewall to be super-awesome.  Every few hours I got an email stating "detected brute force from X.X.X.X/CN, blocked".  It analyzed failed logins, brute-forces, too many apache connections, etc. and inserted an iptables rule. There are other...

I don't do ebooks much, because they suck: can't give to a friend can't sell used can't buy used can't donate to library DRM nonsense cost more PDFs...yes, a ton, but I work in IT and lots of big companies publish white papers, manuals, etc. on PDFs.  iPad + Goodreader is excellent.  If I get...

So I take it 50-60% is high?  :-)

I don't have a problem getting multiple 4-5MB/sec downloads in parallel downloading via sftp (to non-standard high ports) from datacenter VPSes in the US.

I may try the VPN solution you suggest. But it's pretty crappy to Las Vegas datacenter as well.
