    Securing OpenVZ VPS

    I use CSF + LFD on my VPSes now, disabled password auth for root, etc. Basic Security measures. Given I WORK for the provider I get most my stuff from, I know 100% that nobody is going to go snooping through my stuff (well, never know about Ishaq. Never can trust them Brits).

    URPad Needs Help Improving - take Root Level Technology's Money

    OOH. Does it support IPv6? On a more serious note, if something isn't cabled properly at the beginning (like if it's a rush job), it can be INSANELY difficult to re-cable it properly, ESPECIALLY if somehow you have to do it without causing downtime. I've seen messy racks before at my school, but...

    GetKVM acquired by Bradler & Krantz & Co.

    "ie - you pulling a bluevm and straight up jacking our website" Hmm? BlueVM's site isn't stolen from you guys. Unless this was from before my time?

    The Entropy Key!

    From what it says on their website, it uses a method that seems pretty hard to back-door. Unless the NSA can control or predict electron tunneling, a back-door seems VERY unlikely.

    The Entropy Key!

    I was poking around Reddit and found a link to http://www.entropykey.co.uk/. Seems like an interesting little device. Anyone ever used/heard of it? If I had a server handling a ton of SSL stuff I'd probably get one for it, since it looks to be pretty darn interesting.

    The "royal we"? I WAS UNAWARE US HUMBLE FORUMERS WERE IN THE PRESENCE OF SUCH ROYALTY!

    Hmm, So we have bad language here?

    It's more an issue of teaching them when NOT to use it, since teenagers seem to use it quite often when it doesn't need to be used.

    Hostnames

    I ask in the main Channel on my IRC network I created for a Pokemon Game for a legendary/rare pokemon's name. Nice and easy.

    Fail2Ban versus CSF?

    CSF has a nice Webmin Module which you can use it with, if you don't have cPanel on your server. I use CSF on my servers through Webmin, and it works quite nicely. After I realized I should whitelist all the IPs I might possibly use to connect... Accidentally blocked myself from SSHing in!

    Your computer uptime?

    My windows LAPTOP has been "up" for about 2 weeks. Hibernate and Standby FTW! My Windows laptop turned desktop is rocking a 1 month uptime, despite the recent power outages I've had. It never got enough use as a laptop to kill the extended life batter in it, so it has like, 10 hours standby...

    Warning to hosting company providers - urge action taken

    AND you just gave the FBI reason to arrest you for CP should they desire. Apparently viewing it is illegal, since you retain it on your computer in the form of cache.

    Comcast Jacks Customers Again - Modem Rental Fee Raised to $8 a MONTH!

    My household has used a purchased modem since we got Cable. All the way back in the early 2000's we got 768k/128k Cable Internet and bought our own Linksys Cable Gateway. DOCSIS 1.1 compliant. We kept that until about 3-4 years ago when we upgraded to speeds faster than DOCSIS 1.1 could support...

    US Federal Government Shut Down - Budget Impass

    Technically, the War Memorial is CLOSED to the general public. By remaining there, they were legally trespassing, and as such could be arrested. They broke the law, they could be arrested. Now, if I were the officer in that situation, I would have chosen a simple Cite and Release, assuming I...

    Antivirus

    Windows 8 comes with Microsoft Defender, which is MSE plus a bit of Antimalware built in. You should really consider upgrading to the full Windows 8, as the Previews are going to stop working soon.

    Antivirus

    I use Microsoft Security Essentials on my computers. It's free, it WORKS, and it has relatively low resource impact. It has pretty darn good detection rates for everything BUT Zero-Days. Like any other Antivirus solution, it doesn't work alone, you need to pair it with things like...
