    Canada's plan to start bombing in Syria

    Yep, thought about that a 2-3 minutes after I replied, but decided to let my post stay. Anyway, we do send soldiers overseas to help make other countries democracies - most notably in 2010, when we were sent to help out creating a democrazy down yonder in Afghanistan. Today we send them...

    Canada's plan to start bombing in Syria

    Sweden? Good luck with that. It used to be the most peaceful, non-criminal country on Earth. The "model country". When I grew up in the eighties it was still a "model country" in most respects. Today it has deplored in every direction I can think of and has the highest crime rate in the world...

    New WebHostingTalk Site!

    Don't get your hopes up. I saw a screenshot posted by @Steven F and there's nothing "new" about the design, really.

    Server and domain monitoring tool I made

    I'd be interested in this project. At a glance, I found it quite clean and immediately gives one a clear overview of the essential/s - just as it is supposed to do. Good luck with the project. Could you perhaps tell us more about the specifics of it? Nothing too detailed, but a somewhat...

    What browser are you using?

    I'm sad to say, but unfortunately for the most part I'm using Chrome. Firefox for certain things. And occasionally Sleipnir.

    The Anti-Virus debate

    I think you missed a crucial part in my post @joepie91.   This bit, to be precise. I will make it [very] easy for you:  Perhaps that clears it up for you. I'm unsure how you could've missed that bit. It was right in the initial paragraph. Good grief.  :rolleyes: It is not my intention to come...

    The Anti-Virus debate

    I run nothing on my personal devices / workstations. Ten years ago I gobbled together a service similar to VirusTotal, but it was a real pain to keep that working. I used to to test suspicious files. As for not running anything it leaves me only insecure to actual worms who replicate through...

    Canada's plan to start bombing in Syria

    Surely that has to be an error on the part of the journalist, editor or whatever? Could anyone really be that stupid?

    How often do you update your servers?

    I try to keep my servers updated as frequent as I can, which is to say at least check for updates every week — for the less important servers, and decide what to update, or if I should hold off (in case of breaking stuff). So unless it is a security related issue, I try to keep it cool and...

    Canada's plan to start bombing in Syria

    Why not deploy ground forces? We know why. ;)

    Recommended Wordpress plugins?

    Right off the bat, to combat spam —  a combination of these: AP HoneyPot (horribly outdated, but it works or you can refine it) Stop Spammers Spam Control (updated regularly and works by connecting SFS db; also giving you the option to report to them) WP-SpamShield (ditto, regularly updated...

    What are some uncommon and unique web-servers such as Cherokee and Hiawatha?

    I'm a big fan of the monkey web server but have only used it for a small project so far. Another "rare" web server is Pancake.

    BBS software?

    This is not something I have noticed. By the way, I recommend phpBB. It also has a good track record when it comes down to security. It can be made to look OK as well, easily extensible and has a large community. At first I hated it, but now I think it's better than most. If I had to pay for a...

    Vacation Private Servers VPS OPEN VZ - £4/month 2GB Ram, 50 GB Storage, 1TB Monthly Bandwidth - Base

    Ah, you know, at first I thought this was a new company started by the guy who runs GoodHosting. It's a pun, of course. You know, with him being on vacation every so often and always in areas without any Internet or phone. Sorry for the slight derail.

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Anyone here using SSDVPS [1]? They just terminated my account for "non-payment" / "overdue on payment" - but I always pay my bills, of course, and got proof of payment. AFAIK, this company is CC shell or based with them. I had no idea at the time (05/12/2013, to be specific) and only needed a...

    Net Neutrality has just passed. Internet is now a utility.

    I saw similar suggestions already in the pipeline fifteen years ago...now it's becoming more and more a reality. Disturbing.  :(

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    No, it went on for quite a bit of time. Plus much of their other subdomains, etc,.  In a way it was a fairly quick fix considering the extent, though.

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Well, then your ears got spared the terrible song which played in the background at least!  :)
