    iptables/ip6tables one file script

    This is approximately what your ipv6 rules would look like with my usual additions. I didn't include my usual allows for link-local since you folks probably don't trust link-local on a VPS (where I use it, this is not a problem). # flush tables ip6tables -F #ip6tables -t nat -F #ip6tables -t...

    iptables/ip6tables one file script

    1. Never returns false because $iptables and $ip6tables are empty when `which iptables` cannot find the binary. You can correct this by quoting "$iptables" "$ip6tables": iptables=`which iptables` ip6tables=`which ip6tables` ... # stop if iptables is not found test -f $iptables || exit 0 test...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Just curious, how many providers would object if I ran, say UML in an OVZ? That would pretty much behave exactly like an eat-resources daemon, except doing potentially useful things.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    This has to be a gross exaggeration. I'm willing to bet the oversell factor at places like BuyVM and RamNode isn't nearly as bleak as you make it out to be, especially in the KVM & Xen HVM areas (in fact, I bet the advertised resources sold/available ratio is < 1 for hardware virtualizers)

    Kvm front end

    Use search. http://vpsboard.com/topic/248-install-and-configure-kvm-to-your-dedicated-server/ Then google KVM performance optimization.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Pretty easy to keep users of @kaniini's program from assing a host node. Allocate a cgroup with memory.limit_in_bytes set such that the host node has some breathing room to do what it wants and set lockedpages to something stupidly low like 32. Then whenever you spin up an ovz, start it in the...

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    My understanding is the HNs didn't power back on automatically on a few KVM nodes, and needed intervention by Fiberhub, who as you can imagine were pretty busy. Once they booted, it just took a while for fsck and however many VMs to start up automatically. I dunno how much fran, bz and aldryic...

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    I agree with @TheLinuxBug on this. As much as the idea of getting "ACD for President" ads on vpsboard appeals to me, I would rather not have any appear at all. From buyvm's published prices, the kvm256 that vpsboard runs on should cost about 5 USD per month, plus another 3 USD per month for a...

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    Could Verified Providers get a variable length list of links under their Verified tag that has the name of the provider they verified as in it, preferably as a short name that is a clickable link? That would obviate this thread with relatively low maintenance effort.

    Request: Verified Providers link to your site(s)

    Sure, but you're still representative of somebody and your behavior and contributions should publicly reflect on your provider affiliation for good or ill. If you don't want to be associated, could you not avoid the provider mark and just post as a regular user? (serious question:) What benefit...

    Request: Verified Providers link to your site(s)

    Hi folks, This isn't really an issue for most providers on the site, but for you new ladies and gents who are marked as verified providers, could you include a link to the service(s) you are affiliated with somewhere in preferably your signature but alternately your profile, and, if possible...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    tmpfs is allowed to be pushed to swap by the kernel. That's not to say there isn't something that does this, but I'm leery of contributing positively to your efforts, even in jest. I've never run Xen, but doesn't xenpaging allow any amount of overcommit you want in HVM (with proportionately...

    "Right" to Remain Silent

    Not true. Not being mirandized when arrested or charged with a crime is grounds for a mistrial**. The trick here is they didn't arrest or charge him, he was free to leave at any time, he just didn't KNOW that.   ** for now.

    Told my server is out of memory by the Datacenter techs?

    should that be setterm -blength 0 > /dev/console or does -blength affect all terminals? I thought setterm was local session only.

    Using OpenVPN with NAT IPv4

    iirc, openvpn supports ipv6 on TAP since tap support was added (1.x series), and in TUN since 2.3. Switch adapter types if you need ipv6.

    Using OpenVPN with NAT IPv4

    Consider getting a VPS inside the US. It doesn't look like it's solvable from your current VPS provider.

    SolusVM WHMCS Module Vulnerability

    Per RFC 2046 Part 5.1. Multipart Media Type So yes, as libcurl is the composing agent and the calling program has no knowledge of or capability to select the boundary delimiter, it is a curl bug. Some nice bloke filed it in the curl bug list before I had the chance this morning. That's not to...
