Actually, the malarkey with Dual_EC_PRNG was forced through NIST process by the NSA.  NIST was given the reigns of standardization of crypto after the DES stuff was found to be intentionally weak, and the AES process was well-executed. Beyond that, NIST does not recommend use of Dual_EC_PRNG...

In my opinion, the market isn't weak.  The appearance of weakness is created artificially from the 'low end' segment.  They are hoping to launch 'loss leader' products in order to reel in serious customers out of the non-serious ones. Our sales are solid at the prices we are offering.

My main concern is what this is going to do to my IP transit rates.  There's no way we're going to continue to get 300mbps 95th% for 95p per meg. Time to call up HE, I suppose...

That's totally a bait and switch.  No doubt about it. I had one of the ChunkHost free VMs for a couple of weeks.  They were okay, but frankly their network was not all that hot.

Yeah, it's there now.  It wasn't at the time I posted. It seems that some of the type validation issues have been fixed, but I think that Phill could stand to take another look through.  A few things in that area are still sticking out.

No changelog.  I'll dig into it in a bit.

Took a closer look at SolusVM 1.14.  Current findings are: Lots of potential SQLi's with $db->query() (their mysql_query(), essentially) involving lack of proper input validation.  Lots of SQL queries where it's like "SELECT * FROM database WHERE fooid > $value" -- $value needs to be first cast...

Better yet -- what are the contents of that documentation?

A quick test on my end shows that they are still using bare mysql_query()... which means that any sqli bugs are likely still wide open.

The 256mb instances went out of stock yesterday and are no longer available for purchase at the moment.  We may sell some more later.

We are considering moving #tortoiselabs to freenode, actually.

Usually I do something that can be delivered.  Pizza, sandwiches, Chinese, etc.

Oh, apparently they have IPv6 and enabled it.  So, IPv6 is possible, but you have to open a ticket.

The last major outage to the Syrian internet connectivity was August 6th, according to Renesys. That said, Syria seems like an awful place to put a datacenter due to the political climate.

ReliableSite has some ARM servers that are 2GB and $20, but they won't run binary blobs compiled for x86.  It may be sufficient for your needs, however.  IIRC, they are oDroid-U2 based machines.

What kind of IP allocations will you be able to do with these?  Also, will you accept ARIN IP allocations should we wish to announce our own? Also, what kind of colo pricing could you do on say, a half or full rack?

Your wallet is just a keypair.  Once generated, you can move it to a USB stick and delete it from any hosts.  Then, just use the USB stick copy when you want to access your wallet.

You're looking for this, probably.  It listens on 443 and redirects the traffic to sshd or your httpd as needed based on the handshake. http://www.rutschle.net/tech/sslh.shtml

For a testing environment you can put down credit on an account from us, and then spawn/delete instances as needed with hourly billing.
