    SWAT and go directly to jail, no pass go, no collect $200

    Yet nothing will change, this stuff will go on. It's only a matter of time until one of these kids successfully commits murder by cop :( He's an irritating little shit but it's silly to compare him to something as serious as this.

    32 or 64bit system? Which one to use?

    The answer is that it depends on the characteristics of the particular workload, but generally 64 bit will be slightly faster at the cost of higher memory consumption. 32 bit has the advantage of slightly lower memory consumption (e.g. smaller pointers) and potentially fewer cache misses...

    Mozilla announces the death of unencrypted HTTP

    Let's Encrypt is cross-signed by a recognised CA so all existing browsers should accept its certs anyway - so life doesn't get any easier for the CAs in a world in which Firefox is dead.

    Mozilla announces the death of unencrypted HTTP

    https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2015/04/30/deprecating-non-secure-http/ Mozilla has posted an announcement to their security blog that they are deprecating plain HTTP without encryption. They plan to do that by: Presumably nothing will happen until after Let's Encrypt's free certs are...

    Lets Encrypt: Free SSL Certificates. How will other certificate authorities compete?

    While this is a decent point (having a company with an insurance policy to sue), you do realise that any trusted CA can issue a cert for your domain any time they like, right? The only thing stopping them is policy and procedure along with the risk that if they get caught, they could get tossed...

    Keep Track of Your Services! (Lightweight PHP script)

    That's one of the reasons PDO is so handy in PHP - you only have to learn one thing and it (basically) works for a bunch of different databases. However if you're not confident then maybe an ORM would be a better idea.

    Keep Track of Your Services! (Lightweight PHP script)

    WTF. Does this imply that Wyvern doesn't use prepared statements?

    OpenVZ rescue console

    Don't forget that the user can do other stuff that you don't necessarily want with ssh, e.g. tunnelling traffic through the server with SSH port forwarding or SOCKS proxying (including bypassing bandwidth limits, obscuring the source of attack traffic and accessing any resources on your internal...

    VPS provider with good connectivity to CN

    First time in history those words have been uttered.

    Nexim Web Hosting Email Spam - GVH Client Database

    Same reason as any other GVH-related dumbness: because they probably never thought about the consequences.

    Nexim Web Hosting Email Spam - GVH Client Database

    Was it really necessary to bring the old prison rape line into this discussion? In my opinion it only detracts from your (otherwise correct) argument that this data breach and misuse deserves punishment.

    Do you test your backups?

    The question was asked in a VPS forum - many VPS services are unmanaged and do not have guaranteed backups (and even then, many providers will only restore backups in case of a problem on their end - not "oh crap, I accidentally deleted an important file"). Even with crappy shared hosting you...

    FraudRecord Public Dumps User / Customer Info

    Web hosting is small enough and the margins for many slim enough that there isn't the money to pay for the legal compliance costs or the money to fight in court people who got busted doing bad things. Even then, the credit report/cheque fraud/etc. databases tend to be limited to single...

    RIJX closing down, "late refund requests processed partly through sale of hardware"

    She's a sole trader - legally she is the business, there is no separate entity (just a registered business name). She would've had to provide extensive personal identification, including her Tax File Number which would be verified against Australian Tax Office records (roughly equivalent to a US...

    Yes, how dare a woman try and run a business.  :rolleyes:

    FraudRecord Public Dumps User / Customer Info

    It fills a niche - the fact that it is far from perfect and yet still massively popular in a particular market segment is indicative of the need for something.

    FraudRecord Public Dumps User / Customer Info

    If you were professional you'd recognise that: You hold private information and have a responsibility to adequately secure it, and trying to deflect the blame is unprofessional. The fact that information could leak by you forgetting to upload a blank index.html is strongly indicative of you...
