    server suggestions for vm node

    Something to note, running OSX on anything but Apple hardware is against the EULA. It's also a pain in the butt to install and subsequently keep updated.

    Statistics and logging

    I was talking to Fran this evening about statistics and logging for his ... pony... thing and we discussed some of the technical problems involved and solutions thereof; right now, he's considering a custom solution and I suggested building it off a nosql solution like leveldb. A major issue is...

    Unison Resolve Conflict

    unison doesn't do any conflict resolution itself.  Read the merge part of the documentation. http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/download/releases/stable/unison-manual.html#merge

    BGP IPs being hijacked...

    Had the same problem with a couple OVH IPs. I wonder if it's the same DC announcing funky stuff. http://status.ovh.net/?do=details&id=4815 Incidentally, it took OVH ~6 days from when I initially ticketed the problem to post that status ticket. Not a fan.

    Favorite OS for your VPSes?

    Debian on anything I plan on touching inappropriately. FreeBSD on anything micro/single purpose. Desktops tend toward gentoo.

    Extremely Fast WordPress with Redis Cache

    If you want to install a cache mechanism at the provider level, please consider the slightly more complicated, but significantly better performing other guide using fastcgi_cache. It is very easy to enable and disable fcgi cache for particular domains or even directories with that guide without...

    Can't Stop/Start/Remove a VPS

    Agree with KuJoe. vzps -E 150... if there's anything in there, kill it with fire (vzctl stop 150 --fast). If there isn't, file a bug with ovz.

    Extremely Fast WordPress with Redis Cache

    No, but that's how I use it; I've never needed the variable/data caching feature. Code caching does provided a reasonable speedup for certain kinds of pages.

    How to Setup Google-Authenticator

    Sorry, I didn't understand what you were trying to do. sed -i.bak '0,/^#\?\s*ChallengeResponseAuthentication/{/^#\?\s*ChallengeResponseAuthentication/c\ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes }' /etc/ssh/sshd_configLinebreak is intentional.

    How to Setup Google-Authenticator

    Thanks for this tutorial. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it follows the instructions I remember. As for your sed script, try with /^ChallengeResponseAuthentication/c

    How do you track your own VPS collection

    My login box has a file in ~/.ssh/config with contents like so: Host blxt     HostName 192.x.x.249     Port 9450     User acd Host projweb     HostName 70.x.x.231     Port 2552     User tw then I can ssh blxt or ssh projweb and it goes to the right user-at-host-and-port. This might help keep...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    Waterproof usually means air tight, which probably won't play well with the rpi, which does run hot enough to require ventilation. YMMV

    Why does eth0 keep resetting?

    In my opinion, the easiest way to make sure it works every time is to run a dhcpd somewhere on your network, whether that be a crappy dlink router or a full blown IPv4/IPv6 isc dhcpd. Static allocations are pretty easy to set up, usually. Even the most crappy hardware/software understands dhcp...

    What is your favorite type of vps

    kvm / xen hvm: openvpn gateways with ip_set backed filtering. anything with an ipsec tunnel attached like an l2tp+ipsec vpn server, anything that needs to run dmcrypt under it, anything needing xattrs or file acls... which is just about everything... ovz: Single website VMs. DNSd servers. Some...

    What is the best way to block Torrent Ports

      For port specific blocking, iptables is "how it's done". Whether you use a tool like CSF to manage it for you is up to you. I personally prefer not to use CSF as I find it kludgy, but it's much easier for a person new to linux firewalling to understand. You can't do port-specific blocking with...

    Stallion 2 - pictures and daily updates :)

    For the record, I am not asking for pooled bandwidth. I am asking for a way to avoid it personally.
