    Best Desktop

    I'd also recommend Enlightenment. It's very much designed with low-memory footprint in mind, as it's basically built to automatically scale to the available resources/tech level, and scale all the way down to cheap smartphone hardware etc. From their website: "We have run and tested on x86-32...

    Maybe drop the period following the tagline and prepend a hyphen to make it more obvious that you're meant to read it as being said in the same breath as the site title (so to speak)?

    Anyone wanna monster dedicated?

    That's about 16% of my income and I'm still tempted :(. That said, at that point I'd be better off just buying a business ethernet over copper connection for my house and setting up one of my own boxes to act as a dedicated server xD.

    Introduction thread

    Shados here, not-very-long-time lurker at LET. I'm Australian, and I work for a tech support company doing L1 & L2 support for business customers (although I'd prefer to be working somewhere part-time, honestly). In my own time I do some amateur game & web development, act as sysadmin for a...

    Best way to keep sites loading fast while keeping them secure?

    I wouldn't recommend fail2ban (at least not for SSH) due to the issues with spoofing IPs. Plus, it only really helps prevent brute force attacks anyway, and they're not going to succeed against key-based authentication (an alternative option to key-based auth is two-factor authentication -...

    Untapped locations?

    Server bandwidth pricing here is getting increasingly ridiculous, and unfortunately the ~200ms latency to west coast US is a problem for certain uses (remote desktop, game servers, etc.). The NBN is promising pretty decent bandwidth pricing as far as home connections go, though, so we might see...
