    VirtualMin NS2

    Probably should've just rolled it as 'Post the solution, or you're an asshole' for extra clarity. Plus, people would be less likely to think it's going too far.

    FLIPHOST | 2 Years! |New Location! | Now offering SSD KVM! | 2GB for $7 | Free DNS | 80% OFF!

    Tempting, but the disk space is a little limited for what I'd want to use it for.

    Getting a new laptop today

    I take it you're trying to make the point that he'd need to normalize the number of failures against the number of sales across each manufacturer for the information to be useful? Anecdotally, me and a friend both bought HP laptops around the same time, both had a lot of overheating problems...

    Best free DNS hosting?

    Anyone else notice that Linode DNS TTLs default to 5 minutes? What's up with that?

    Best free DNS hosting?

    Subjacent is a dictionary word. Mad props to him for using it, actually.

    Quadrupled my money on EpicTrainer.com, share your best sale

    Uh, just so you know, $250 isn't 4 * $40, it's closer to 6 * $40. You sextupled your money, not quadrupled it :P.

    One last koding.com invite - who wants it?

    Huh. Hadn't heard of this before, but it looks pretty much like c9.io + integrated social features. Could be interesting.

    What the provider means by saying NO to Torrents?

    Yeah, dedupe is expensive. Even with a large average block size (~100KiB) 24GB of ram will still only let you have 7~8 TiB worth of dedup'd storage (at least, if you want it to have any write performance at all).

    Sleeping hours

    4-5 hours usually, find it hard to stay asleep any longer because I feel uncomfortable lying down for longer periods. Had about four last night.

    Favorite OS for your VPSes?

    Arch, because I like to live on the edge :P.

    Kim Dot Com sues for defenses

    I imagine he would rather like to be able to just go to the bank, but unfortunately all of his assets are frozen. How the hell are people meant to pay for a decent legal defense if their assets are frozen, anyway? Always seemed really stupid to me.

    Google Authenticator on VPS

    Other problem with Yubikey is that they essentially have access to your token, which makes your security somewhat weaker if you don't trust them/their security.

    Billing system discussion

    If you're doing that, maybe think about monthly fee for using your hosted service, and free or one-time fee for self-hosted variant? EDIT: Also, keep in mind that going that route is a lot more work for you, and much of it on-going/constant, so it's not something I'd recommend unless you're...

    Google Authenticator on VPS

    If you're looking for two-factor authentication for SSH, also check out barada. It's pretty easy to set up, and uses HOTP (GAuth supports HOTP, TOTP and IIRC some other schemes).

    Billing system discussion

    Do you? Frankly, it kind of seems that people unscrupulous and cheap enough will always be able to find an unencrypted/cracked/nulled version of any given software, or they simply won't use it. People who would pay for it will do so regardless of how easy it may be to rip off.

    Billing system discussion

      +1 to this. Offering a 'lifetime' license is fine and all, but consider having a low-cost regular payment option as well - both because it means you're a bit more likely to continue working on it in the future, and also because it gives people a way to try it out with minimal initial cost to...

    Audio on my Linux PC?

    Screenshot of the 'configuration' tab on pavucontrol would be helpful - often this kind of thing results from having the wrong profile selected for a given device. Also, for Flash (and other programs that don't directly support PulseAudio and just use ALSA) you need a correctly-configured...
