    I'll pass that on to Justin for an official comment.

    Running haveged to enhance your system entropy

    I remember finding haveged a couple months ago. Pushed it to servers and suddenly everything got MUCH faster. Our newest nodes with v3 CPUs and rrand were doing okay before the addition of haveged, but rrand wasn't feeding by default (rng-tools not installed or something).

    ColoCrossing, Quick to Get Large IP Blocks Issued and Faster to Soil Them

    Ugh. I keep seeing BlueVM mentioned and would like to point out that we are NOT Spam Friendly. I personally have a vendetta against people who sign up and spam because it means I have to clean up after them. I'll do some digging to see if I find any wonderful citizens of the internet abusing our...

    Need an OS recommendation for children.

    This may be the best idea. Schools tend to use Windows exclusively, as well as MS Office rather than Linux and LibreOffice/OpenOffice. I'm all for the adoption of Linux as a Desktop OS, but Windows DOES have the majority of the market share for a reason.

    ColoCrossing, Quick to Get Large IP Blocks Issued and Faster to Soil Them

    Have I mentioned I dislike spam? As soon as I get a refill on my flamethrower, SPAMMERS WILL BURN.

    Preventing Outbound DDOS - Infected VPS and Blocking Ports

    If anyone wants a sample of the binaries to investigate/decompile/test, I've collected samples and tarballed them up. I highly recommend testing on an isolated environment. You can grab the tarball fromhttp://darkrai.unovarpgnet.net/BinarySamples.tar.gz and toy with it. Enclosed are the...

    VPS's .. The dangers of doing business with idiots

    Hell, if your box has been compromised in ANY WAY, it's a Nuke and Pave. That's the ONLY way you'll be sure to get whatever rootkits or other malware got in out.

    I Feel Ignored

    Heck. Minors tend to hear worse language than that walking down their school halls between class. I sure did. Anyone who can't handle a little profanity needs to grow up.

    HOWTO: Stop NTP amplification attacks from reaching your nodes!

    If there's not a bridge set up, then that key won't exist. On OpenVZ nodes, there shouldn't be a bridge.

    Was BlueVM's website down?

    My monitor shows that it was down briefly overnight (for a couple of hours), but it's back up now. We used to run Cloudflare in front of the site, but once the GFW of China started blocking Cloudflare, we dropped it from our site. There is one KVM node down right now in NY, which I'm working on...

    LXC 1.0 Released

    Rallias had done some work on an LXC module for Feathur. It's pretty easy to make Feathur modules and assuming there's a good control interface API (like vzctl for OpenVZ) for LXC it shouldn't be that hard.

    Free Windows Server license with .edu address

    Technically the DreamSpark licenses are only supposed to be used for educational/learning purposes only and not for a production environment. I doubt they check though.

    Gmail Trick

    It's way different. Much better than Hotmail used to be.

    Gmail Trick

    I use outlook.com for my domain's email. So people do use it.

    ocz ssd 128gb + PrimoCache 4GB cache disk io

    My home laptop turned desktop has an Extended Life battery at 100% of original capacity (it didn't get used much). It could idle for probably close to 5 hours if it really needed to, though it's set to hibernate after 30 minutes on battery.

    Post your desktop!

    I prefer full desktops, as it so happens. Or I'm just too busy to clean it up.

    HOWTO: Stop NTP amplification attacks from reaching your nodes!

    I modified Mun's script slightly to make it also edit /etc/rc.local. The new script version can be found at... wget http://darkrai.unovarpgnet.net/antintp.sh -O - | bash No HTTPS for it; my server in SEA doesn't have a cert. You could download over HTTPS I suppose, it'd just complain it's...

    HOWTO: Stop NTP amplification attacks from reaching your nodes!

    Fran, you are awesome. As it happens your posting this coincided with several of our nodes being hammered from outbound attacks thanks to misconfigured NTP servers. I feel obliged to purchase a VPS from you now.
