    Just received this on Skype from Nick @ RamNode

    Duh, we've all gathered that much. The better question is: who did it?!

    @Francisco could it be one of them fancy Azure VMs?

    Just received this on Skype from Nick @ RamNode

    Just fishing here but I don't think it was Clarke. My nick on IRC was occupied as well. Looking at the IP it was a Canada IP address: 184.75.213.194 Amanah Tech Inc. (AS32489)

    Your new VPS is provisioned, what is the first thing you do once you connect?

    dd bs=1M count=128 if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync - will most likely be cached dd bs=1M count=512 if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync - will most likely be cached dd bs=1M count=1024 if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync - will possibly be cached dd bs=1M count=2048 if=/dev/zero of=test...

    "Right" to Remain Silent

    Probably not, we'll just have more of the same. @MannDude everyone is susceptible to corruption. And when one of those rare idealists comes along, a man without a price, he just gets eliminated out of the way. Sorry, I'm a bit of a cynic when it comes to these things.

    ReverseHosts.com 2GB RAM OVZ - $4.99 (San Diego, CA)

    Francisco regardless of what software you are using for your control panel, you know as well as I do that you should secure it properly and not blindly trust the vendor's default security settings.

    We needed this right now (Xen vulnerability)

    @MannDude whei I said this: I was referring that those nginx packages in my repository could be used with SolusVM and WHMCS to add a bit more security. Also, adding a htpasswd to the administration paths for WHMCS and SolusVM improves security quite a bit. If you want to really secure your...

    FAPVPS 2GB KVM

    @MannDude maybe it's some new ingenious marketing tactic ;-) I mean it gets people talking, doesn't it? [edit] Saw this offer on LET: FAPVPS KVM SSD VPS - Let us give you a helping hand. $4.19/Month I'd say that the owner named his company like that on purpose.

    FAPVPS 2GB KVM

    @manacit The pricing isn't bad at all. You can always get 12.5% (as the Rackspace sales guy said) of an AMD core and 2GB RAM for $80 ... at Rackspace. Seriously, other than the name being what it is I don't really see anything wrong here.

    We needed this right now (Xen vulnerability)

    We run Xen 4.1 on CentOS 6 with SolusVM. I have patched Xen 4.1 against those vulnerabilities and made packages for CentOS 6 available here: http://repo.phoenixrpm.com I've also posted this, however most people have missed it (my guess is that talking about security issues is more important to...

    vpsBoard advertisements.

    +1 I'm all for it and I think that it would be a legitimate way to support the forum. It takes allot of work to properly maintain a forum and keep the quality standards high. As far as being a "money making activity" as @ called it, I don't think that there would be anything wrong with the...

    FAPVPS 2GB KVM

    ...and vpsBoard is not a forum / discussion board dedicated to the low end market. There is LET for for that... [edit] About the name: since FAPVPS is a new providers he could and should change his name. Short and memorable is the way to go. Don't shy away from TLDs like .io, .sh and so on...

    Phoenix RPM repository updated with new packages Nginx Naxsi 1.2 & 1.4, PHP 5.3 & 5.4, Xen 4.1 XSA-5

    Many of you run CentOS 6 or one of the RHEL 6 clones (e.g. Scientific Linux 6). Looks like June has been so far a "fun" month and security issues have all but plagued the hosting industry. I am of the opinion that I should secure my nodes and customers and not just sit around for the next...

    One very nice .co.uk domain

    @sv01 Not true, their valuation is based on the TLD and keyword search. For example if you search for something ending in gs, gy, re, and so on it will return $0. No one search for google, yahoo and so on, so of course they're valuated at $0 since there is no SEO value in them. I hope this...

    SolusVM Audit Update

    @ I know a few people who would write a new panel from scratch... for that kind of scratch... and really fast... me included... that's way too much money just to clean up the code.
