I kinda disagree with this in a sense. Not that you should be required to have the IPs online and pingable, but that if you order IPs you should plan to use them relatively soon after purchasing them. Unless of course you're ordering a /29 or something, then it makes sense you might not use all...

This is why you should always read a provider's Privacy Policy before sending them any information.

On the plus side they don't have a TOS or AUP so anything goes. It's hard to find low priced VPSs that allow TOR exit nodes.

I've got some Windows 7 and Windows 10 VPSs in a few different locations and I use my ODroid C1 (Ubuntu 14.04) with Remmina to RDP to them. My furthest VPS is running Windows 10 and is 31ms away but it's still an extremely smooth experience (I'm typing this reply from it right now with my C1 as...

Bonus points: Copy desktop/VM to a remote data center and use a RPi2 or similar device as a thin client. ;)

If you're on a budget, go with AMD. I <3 my FX-6300, only $90 last time I checked on Newegg.

The reason for most providers is SolusVM doesn't do it natively and the majority of providers don't know how to script it themselves. The reason we don't do it is because I'm a minimalist and don't want to enable anything by default. I was going to but then decided to let the clients choose...

The same researchers hired to crack TrueCrypt? Keeping them busy and off the streets I guess. EDIT: Possibly the wrong university. I can't find the article now. :( EDIT2: Nevermind, right university wrong software (it was TOR). Heading to bed now. :(

@willie why would you run a browser on a thin client though? That defeats the purpose of using a thin client. And of course there's always something better out there, that doesn't change how fun it is to do more with less.

The little guys are perfect thin clients and that's what I use them for mostly. They are like 8 core, 72GB RAM, 6x SSD RAID10, 1Gbps uplink little monsters. The only device I run headless is my RPi2 which basically just runs Observium and some other random monitoring apps.

I think the reason for Newegg's pricing is to match Amazon as closely as possible. Before we buy SSDs we check both Newegg and Amazon and if Amazon is cheaper than Newegg for the same drive then they will change their price to match it (or within a few dollars of it) fairly quickly. Wouldn't be...

Damn, just placed another order with Newegg and Amazon. Time to go to sleep before I get more junk I need but shouldn't be buying. Just going to leave this here for those of you who need a few more USB sticks... http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2592754

OMG, almost bought one but the HDMI adapter is more expensive the the device and shipping combined. :(

I did consider that. It really sucks when payday falls on Cyber Monday. :(

Oh man what a headache. Deleted the RAID1 on Sunday morning and tried restoring from an image I made the night before and finally got back online about 10 minutes ago. My OS isn't on an array anymore but I had to set my BIOS to treat my SATA ports are RAID (IDE and ACHI didn't work). Fun times. :)

Yeah, because of all of those hackers on your intranet right? :)

My onboard RAID (AMD RAIDXpert) is getting extremely annoying now. Every other reboot I need to rebuild the array for some reason so now I'm just going to tear down the RAID1 and just create weekly images of the C: and do real-time replication to my NAS for the other drives. Almost bought a RAID...

I bought too much stuff and I can't remember half of it. :( I just finished buying another 2TB drive to replace my failing 1TB drive in my old NAS. I bought 2 RamNode VPSs for some reason. Got a pair of Amazon Fire 7" and cases for both. Shoelaces, elliptical machine, entertainment center...

I pushed this to my GitHub but I haven't had time to test it. If somebody else has a development WHMCS they want to try it out in it would be appreciated because my dev setup is in use at the moment for other testing and I don't want to test multiple modules/hooks/addons at once...

Primary router: 1x Mikrotik CRS125-24G-1S-2HnD-IN Secondary routers: 2x MikroTik hAP lite (1 on opposite ends of the house) Miscellaneous switches: 1x TP-LINK TL-SG105 1x TP-LINK TL-SG108 Network monitoring: Observium on Raspberry Pi 2 Network Storage: 1x Synology DS110j 1x...
