    Paleo diet

    Not a great idea to cut out any category of food unless you have specific medical issues with certain kinds of food. Realistically, just exercising an hour a day should be more than sufficient if she's eating a fairly balanced diet. Does kind of depend on what you're already eating and what kind...

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    I'm getting the same issue now, and it is fairly annoying.

    [For Hire] Billing / Sales / L1-L2 Support - VPS, Shared, Minecraft, & Dedicated

    Aside from his grammar being somewhat bad, what's so amusing about the question? Perfectly reasonable one to ask, especially given the differences in standard costs of living etc. involved in potentially international hiring.

    I like how you said "secretly".

    How to set up your own distributed, redundant, and encrypted storage grid in a few easy steps

    Sounds like the problem you're trying to solve is "server local storage I can be certain my host can't access", whereas Tahoe is trying to solve the problem of "remote storage that can be accessed locally but be certain my remote host can't access" (among other goals). Completely different...

    The Entropy Key!

    Assuming their implementation is legit. Have you seen anyone actually audit it? Without external audits, what's the benefit of this over just using the RDRAND instructions in >=Ivy Bridge CPUs?

    MR: Your interest in an Atom-powered dedicated server in Los Angeles?

    This is definitely interesting, especially with the IPMI. As lbft mentioned, I am weirdly notably less interested with the $5 price increase ._., and I have no idea why.

    Anti-Virus: Thread 2

    I remember Avira being decent, though perhaps with a few too many false positives on the basis of executable packing methods etc. It has been a while, though.

    How much would you pay for these?

    Well, not like a lot of datacenter businesses didn't start out in people's basements. Just, y'know, be up front about it.

    Online Code Editor

    Here's a Chrome packaged app option, capable of editing both local and remote (with a neat little client/server setup deployed) files, has a lot of good design decisions. EDIT: For some reason it's not mentioned on the github page for it yet, but it's also released through the Chrome Web Store...

    Well that was fun

    Well, that's what short-term loans are for :P. Or just having a backup line of credit, that always helps.

    Well that was fun

    And here I was under the impression that part of the surcharge on credit usage is insurance against fraud; shouldn't they give you the money back pretty quickly? IIRC, at most you should be liable for like $50.

    Iran, you better run - .ir hosting in US ILLEGAL PART 2 - embargo breakers

    I've been to two of those. Guess I've got my travel plans for the next few years, then :P.

    Who plays Leagues of Legends here?

    Played it during beta for a bit, dropped it and then picked it back up again for a year or two. Eventually got sick of Riot's shit (mainly the practice of releasing most new champions as overpowered for the first week or so, then nerfing them in the next patch in order to get more people to...

    $5 /Yr VPS => Limited Time Offer (BlueVM) [Yes Buffalooed It's CC]

    Picked up one of the 128MB's to run Urbit on to play with.  Swapped to 32bit Fedora (personal preference), stripped it down to using 5.2MB of RAM with the bare essentials running - fair bit of unnecessary stuff on the image initially.

    Expectations in regards to ticket reply

    That's pretty much the reason the company I work for (we deal mostly with issues logged by phone) stopped taking voicemails and swapped to having some of our guys act as dedicated 1st-level techs and just get initial details+log/resolve trivial (<5 min) jobs, while the rest call back  to...
