    Why not just use an existing dynamic dns service?

    Running your own vestacp instance

    Really hoping you were using dummy values or a random self-signed cert there...

    Lottery is up to $550,000,000... what would you do if you won?

    Accelerate my plans for world domination, obviously. That, and provide for my mum.

    Sequential reads & writes are still much faster on an SSD than random ones, and you're not going to significantly impact the life of any modern SSD by doing this. Why would you not want to defrag?

    Anyone need free billing? :)

    Emphasis mine; they're saying that you don't have to have PCI compliance, not that they don't. At least, that's how I'm reading it.

    Can confirm Starbound client runs on Linux (started it downloading on Steam before leaving for work this morning), not sure about the server.

    SSL for VPSB?

    "Wow. That is a pretty crappy attitude. Since this site is nothing without the MannDude, you should be a little nicer." See what I did there?

    POLL: SSL for vpsBoard. Optional or forced site-wide?

    Or instead of turning off Gravatar, just use their HTTPS URL...?

    psychz.net yardvps.com photonvps.com got hacked

    Heh, that's a pretty perfect indication that the disk or FS has fallen out from under it if they're getting it on random operations.

    How did they get it so wrong? HealthCare.gov

    I read an article a couple of weeks back on this, apparently they did run some tests a few days before launch (but not all the tests they wanted to run, and only last-minute) and the tests indicated the system could not handle the expected load at all. They went ahead and released it anyway...

    Pre-Liberal victory, was supposed to have NBN available February 2014. Not even on the map any more :(.

    Quiting smoking.

    Yeah, I've got a few friends who have swapped to e-cigs pretty happily. It's a lot cheaper, and you still get the rather potent nootropic benefits of nicotine - without the carcinogenic effects of everything else in tobacco :P.

    Website page capture --- online and as it was

    Have been thinking about writing a small Chrome/Opera plugin to snapshot an open tab in its current state, which would avoid a few of the issues with a service like FreezePage (e.g. could snapshot pages that have been modified by javascript, snapshot pages behind login-walls, etc.).

    IO Ping Score

    Because benchmarking for your actual, application/project-specific performance requirements can't be easily done with a trivial, generic one-liner script and compared for EPeen with other so-called 'sysadmins'.

    Well, I just confirmed I can set mine.

    Hmm, I like the look of the storage special, and you guys seem like an interesting host. No discounts for quarterly/yearly billing?

    Out of curiosity, mind taking the time to elaborate on why you would've picked BSD?
