    Poor man's load balancing / geo-based forwarding - Need some hints.

    Using a proxy server takes away most of the benefit of load balancing and might even cause more issues. You'd be better off with doing GeoDNS yourself - only hard part there is finding (or maintaining) an accurate geolocation DB. This way the visitor's traffic goes directly to the server closest...

    IPv4 Shortage, Blame Idiots like ColoCrossing.

    Actually, that's something to look forward to. As IPv4 availability dwindles and Windows XP is phased out, we might see some of the big shared hosting players dumping large quantities of IPs that they just don't need anymore.

    Anyone have an LG Smart-TV? Possibly privacy concern. LG Smart TVs logging USB filenames and viewing

    Data collection built into the TV shouldn't be your only concern (in fact, if you're paranoid enough you should automatically assume any 'smart' product does this). The firmware on these devices is notoriously poorly designed and many models of smart TVs are vulnerable to exploitation. You can...

    making a paid url shortner

    If you're using master-master replication, you need to take a few extra steps to ensure your application will work correctly. Locking is very important for a master-master setup otherwise you can end up clobbering data or getting transient errors due to conflicting primary keys. You want to use...

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

    The red lock means the ROA (Route Origin Authorization) is invalid. So, they aren't supposed to be using that IP space or they've incorrectly setup their ROA.

    CPU Fair Use

    I would reconsider that until UBNT has released an updated version of the hardware. Not a single ERL I received lasted a year before failing outright.

    anyNode KVM Beta

    Running KVM inside of KVM

    It works on both AMD and Intel[1][2]. There is a performance hit but it's not as bad as one would think.

    Providers - Let's talk about panels.

    Now that alternatives to SolusVM are both coming onto the market and being developed in-house providers are starting to make the migration. This also gives us access to a whole new world of opportunities including better integration into your environment. My question to all other providers are...

    CPU Fair Use

    If the CPU usage isn't affecting other customers, and isn't a general waste of cycles in a VPS environment (F@H, *coin mining, password cracking) there should be no problem with it. A provider should start to limit this usage once it starts to contend with other containers though.

    Running KVM inside of KVM

    The CPU usage is actually very minimal. CPUs with virtualization extensions (i.e. CPUs capable of running KVM) will actually run the instructions on bare metal, not interpreting or recompiling them. When nesting KVM these instructions are equally available inside the guest, so additional guests...

    Quiting smoking.

    I switched to vaping a month ago or so, and it's significantly better than cigarettes. Already I'm spending much less time vaping and will probably be switching to nicotine-free e-juice in a month's time. I spent $50 on a nice kit and $10 of e-juice lasts me two weeks easy. Plus, I can do it...

    And this is why you should ALWAYS backup your VPS!

    Considering they hand credit out like free candy I doubt that means much.

    Hot reboot. Ksplice is what you're looking for.
