    Computer chairs. What do you recommend?

    I found an Avis black leather chair on sale at Staples for about $90 2 years ago and it's still in great condition and comfortable.  I'd prefer to be able to sit in a chair before I bought it.  Most things I buy online but furniture isn't one.

    Fiberhub running on generator power

    Possibly.  It probably would have worked better for me being closer and being able to do things myself.  However, I relied on them to do the work, I didn't mind paying the remote hands / rack n stack rates, but it was near impossible to get a response from them unless it was an emergency.  They...

    Fiberhub running on generator power

    That's not surprising to me, unless a server was down, I waited an average of 2 weeks for replies to tickets with Fiberhub when we were with them last year.   They just weren't very professional with communication from the whole process from sales to support.   Rob never even provided me with...

    Let's talk retirement.

    Just remember that most seniors live past the life expectancy.  Life expectancy is slightly skewed by those who die at a young age from disease, accidents, etc.  So if you do live to be a senior, the life expectancy is slightly higher than what would be listed there. I'm sure life insurance...

    Wordpress Login Attackers

    Dshield or Spamhaus's DROP list may be of assistance.  Not specifically wordpress, but malicious ips in general.  I believe you can enable both of those in APF or CSF.

    PayPal refusing to process payments to VPN.SH?

    Or providers who may have had repeated problems (possibly with chargebacks).  I doubt PayPal cares or even looks into what small scale users are selling.

    Spamhaus. A good or bad force in the industry?

    That doesn't prove anything.  It is a one sided statement about how they were going to have their net block blacklisted.  If a massive spammer was repeatedly spamming from their block even after spamhaus blacklisted specific IPs then the next step would have to be the whole block.  That is just...

    Do you have health insurance?

    I understand where you are coming from.  I think it would be smart for insurance companies to offer discounts, just like safe driving and such, or for more instances of health savings accounts.  However, the way our health "insurance" works in the States is not really insurance at all. ...

    Heads up: OpenVZ updates will probably break your system

    I have written a script to resolve this.  Run it as cron every 15 minutes.  The script will: Check for a minimum level of free space to automatically run compact every 15 minutes Automatically run compact every 24 hours on all servers If the compact fails to reclaim enough space, it will email...

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    Okay.  So probably a desktop hard drive, not enterprise like WD RE/Black and 500 virtual servers on a single hard drive.  You don't see any issues with that?  1.  How is one hard drive supposed to handle 500 virtual servers? 2.  What is going to happen when that hard drive fails?  Even if you...

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    A ramdisk writeback?  Please don't try to host anything.  The only reason why memory cache works with hardware RAID cards is because they have a battery backup so if the server crashes, the RAM is kept powered on in the RAID card.  If you use standard RAM, it will cause loads of corruption...

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    You can launch into the console or mount a server with Xen too.  Never used KVM but I assume the same applies.

    update on $1 per year vps idea (32MB Club)

    To be completely honest, OpenVZ has successfully handled millions of processes on servers as long as you have the correct settings and a powerful enough node.  I'm assuming the OP isn't going to know how to optimize the node properly though.  32MB and running 1000 virtual servers on an E3 will...
