    When did you realize you were getting old?

    I'm only creeping up on 22 but I've had creaky knees for ages... starting to moan about my back too! Dread to think what I'll be like at 30 :P

    BlueVM's domain name was hijacked

    I don't know drmike, I think hacking BlueVM to prove you were right was a bit of a low blow ;)

    New look

    Looks great! I love the lighter look. If I were to be real picky though, there's a little bit of different padding amounts going on in the side: Might look a bit better with 50px on each side? Besides that though it's really nice. Like the background. What do you all think?

    DigitalOcean vs Vultr vs Mothership1?

    I like Vultr and feel like they're going in a better direction that DO, even though their services are basically equal except a few plan tweaks and locations available. That said, DO keep drawing me back in with free credit and competitions ($50 from ServerBear last) so I am using DO London...

    The View New Content page goes blank at times or there are very few latest items shown

    'Unread content' has always been kinda spotty on forums like that for me anyway. It does a good job of tracking if a thread you're participating in has new posts but cookies don't provide the best flexibility and database based read tracking systems can be pretty heavy. Just anecdotal though. I...

    Best low cost CDN?

    At $10/m you're best off doing a home baked solution like suggested here or using Cloudflare's free plan.

    Rage4 "Prey-as-you-go" extortioncast DNS business model

    That is a lot more sensible than originally made out, yes. I still think you'd save both your users and yourselves a headache though by capping free accounts once they pass the 250k limit, at least for those with unverified payment information. You could even have a switch under payments, "Add...

    Rage4 "Prey-as-you-go" extortioncast DNS business model

    500 EUR on purpose and you might be getting somewhere. You do need an off switch and I think if you wanted to try people in court some countries may have a legal issue with you overcharging by 500 EUR on an otherwise free product. Really it's hard to say without context. If they're stealing...

    Rage4 "Prey-as-you-go" extortioncast DNS business model

    Debt collectors on 50 EUR lol, as if. If you still own the debt and they act for you, they have no power. If you sell the debt to them they will buy it at like 20% or less of it's cost price, meaning that you will recover less than 10 EUR from this whole ordeal. Not worth it and a horrible...

    The knife thread.

    I don't know how fascist it is, people seem pretty happy with the laws here in the UK really in regards to weapons. It's just a different mindset I guess: you might want guns or knives to protect yourselves from others but people here would prefer that nobody had the weapons in the first place...

    32MB Club: Now self sustaining

    In the most basic of terms maybe but not really. A press release is a written statement prepared for the media - generally news websites, business blogs, newspapers or whatever... so usually a press release will also contain background information about the company like who you are and where you...

    32MB Club: Now self sustaining

    It's a "press release". FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, of course ;)

    boltvm vpsboard-banner?

    It's better to have no site than one half finished really, a landing page would be much better. Kinda makes you wonder how much of a Work In Progress the server configuration will be too.

    Have you ever been given more resources then you paid to receive?

    Quite a while ago now a friends server that I set up for them (Kimsufi 24G) had a 1Gbps uplink instead of a 100mbps, not really had anything myself though. Kimsufi did used to be known for swapping parts for something basically comparable and not capping uplinks accidently all over a few years...

    The knife thread.

    They're not quite that insane. You are allowed to carry anything with a 3 inch or less blade at any time (so swiss army knives and multitools are fine) and you're allowed to carry larger blades as long as you have a good reason - work, camping etc. It depends on context. If you've got a 5 inch...

    Robin Williams has Died

    You should watch his documentary from 2006: Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGDl6-lyfMY Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF7yiQxn35I   Both an hour long but both very good. He has attempted suicide many times as a "side effect" of the lows of his manic periods (he has manic...

    RaptorNode has been apparently hacked.

    These aren't targeted attacks. They find one weak link on the server (as KuJope says, an old Wordpress install or whatever) and proceed to upload an index file to as many accounts as they can on the sever until they get booted. RaptorNode is just collateral damage. If you add index.php to the...

    Isn't that the question here? Whose business BlueVM is? :D

    Malaysia Airlines 777 crash - round two

    This image is circulating from the separatists:       They're also deleting tweets that show that they had "BUKs" capable of doing this (sorry, don't know much about weapons).   If that facebook post is authentic then yikes... that's fucked up.
