    Backup Network anyone?

    I used to have 2 dsl lines, but these days I just use a 3g/hsdpa service for backup if I need it, which isn't often. I've got a cradlepoint router that I can plug my phone into, and then plug the cradlepoint into my main router to share the connection with my whole lan.

    ChicagoVPS acquires 123systems

    I had a 123Systems VPS around 2010/2011.  I tried unsubscribing from their mailing list last year by emailing them as their unsubscribe instructions asked, but I still receive spam from them now and then (including this one). I just tried to login to try unsubscribing again from the control...

    IPv6 OpenVPN on OpenVZ VPS Questions

    It seems kind of pointless to use a tunnel.  I'll just keep waiting.  Maybe OpenVZ will add full support for ipv6 some day.

    Need a new keyboard

    I used to use the Microsoft Natural keyboards, but when my last one broke, I got a Kinesis Freestyle2 w/VIP3 accessory, and it's the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used.  It's an ergonomic split keyboard with two separate halves. http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle2-for-pc-us/...

    Need some more MySQL magic.

    From what I can tell, the queries from perennate, Flapadar, and the last one listed by KuJoe are all basically the same. perennate: SELECT tblservers.name, tblproducts.name, COUNT(*) FROM tblservers, tblhosting, tblproducts WHERE tblhosting.server = tblservers.id AND tblhosting.packageid =...

    Need some more MySQL magic.

    From what I can see, it looks like perennate's query should work, though it will only return servers and products that had orders.  If you want to return all of the servers and products regardless of whether they had orders, you'd need to use left outer joins. If you want to list the table...

    IPv6 OpenVPN on OpenVZ VPS Questions

    I've been through that guide over and over and set it up, but no luck.  At best I can ping a single ipv6 address assigned to the vps from the openvpn client, but I can't get outside.  I'm guessing it's because the whole /64 isn't on venet0, but I'm not proficient enough with ipv6 to be sure. I...

    IPv6 OpenVPN on OpenVZ VPS Questions

    I'd like to setup openvpn for ipv6.  I have a SecureDragon openvz vps that has /64 block of ipv6 assigned, but I can only add individual /128 ip addresses to the network.  Apparently openvz only supports the individual /128's with venet. Is there any way to get ipv6 working for openvpn on an...

    OpenVPN IP Allocation

    The SNAT iptables entry could be considered part of the openvpn configuration, since it's required for it to work at all.  That will be the IP address that will get used for the outgoing traffic. To control the IP address that you connect to, just change the setting in the openvpn .conf file...

    Newegg introduces Bitcoin support

    I would guess that bitpay makes their money buying and selling the coins on the market, with the usual spread.

    Did anybody else grab a Raspberry Pi from FitVPS during yesterday's special?

    Actually, I think EDIS will offer free rpi colo again soon. https://twitter.com/edisat/status/478194580974993409 http://www.edis.at/en/server/colocation/austria/raspberrypi/ I was thinking about it, but if there's a problem with the flash drive or something, you'll have to have it shipped...

    Which domain?

    dstrout.net -- personally I don't like dashes in domain names, and there's something to be said for consistency if you're already using the domain.

    PuTTY running slow after being idle for 15+ minutes.

    You might check the advanced power options, under processor power management.  Bumping up the minimum processor state could help, if it's set to a low percentage.  I've noticed similar problems in the past (not with putty specifically), and that helped.

    PHP/MySQL Help Needed - Count rows with the same value in one column and checking for value in anoth

    Here you go: select a.number from (select number, count(*) as 'cnt' from test where letter = 'c' group by number) as a inner join (select number, count(*) as 'cnt' from test group by number) as b on a.number = b.number and a.cnt = b.cnt...

    What's your Windows text editor of choice?

    I was using notepad for most things, and Cream/Vim sometimes. But how did I not hear about Notepad++ ?  Just installed it yesterday.
