    Should universal internet access be a human right?

    Maybe not an issue in rural areas, if the towns are used to other offline means of communication. In developed cities it would be annoying, to the point that people are expected to use the internet whether or not they're interested in it. People could still get by, but they would be excluded...

    ARM has legs. Real world use.

    Just saw this on the ODROID forum, a new model C2 coming in March with 2 GB ram for $40. I probably won't be able to resist getting one. http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=135&t=18683

    Running your own mail server

    Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I followed it on a CentOS 7 vps sometime back, most of it still applies except for a few commands and config locations. 5. Setup your mail server sudo yum install postfix dovecot Postfix and Dovecot configuration files are in the same location. I...

    New Year's resolutions - 2016

    Hardware-wise, I'm excited about ARM as well. :) For software and OS, it's the other way around for me -- less PHP (pick up Python, not sure if that counts as "fancy") and stop using only CentOS (try FreeBSD). I will focus on positive actionable elements, and let people address their own...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    Further on Jarland's response: "I mean it's no different than the existing server logs and the data I already have access to with Vanilla, it's just organized for my viewing so that I understand ways I can help improve the site. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to be part of that :("...

    ARM has legs. Real world use.

    Any comments on the Orange Pi Plus 2 or its siblings?  Anyone have one? drmike mentioned it in the ARM device for disk performance thread, thought I'd continue discussion here to not derail the question. 2GB RAM, putting it closer to the ODROID XU2/XU4 market. The built-in wifi module...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    My comment wasn't directed at you specifically, but rather the opinion some people have that threads are selectively closed/sunk (especially complaints about certain providers) while others of similar ilk are left open. When you say outright deletions, were you by chance referring to the...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    lol Yeah, a lot of the questions get repeated over and over (partly due to search for a while being disabled.) I still look through some because there may be new software that didn't exist or wasn't too well-known the previous times the topic came up, like blogging platforms. The Globalfrag...

    LowEndTalk/LowEndBox Gets a New Manager

    I still check LET during spare time, to catch up on the latest software/services and get a sense of current offers. It's busy but without the cluttered layout of WHT. Not really sure why some threads never got swept back into Cest Pit (like one where OP asked why people hate his signature)...

    Yourserver OpenVZ 256MB (Sweden)

    Got a response from support and it's looking better today. Not sure what happened on Tokyo but certainly an improvement overall. Thanks again, I probably might not have opened a ticket to get it fixed if I hadn't seen others' stats. wget freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O - -o /dev/null|bash...

    Yourserver OpenVZ 256MB (Sweden)

    Thanks @wlanboy. I'm waiting to hear back from support. Still slow today here, the max I'm getting is 608KB/s. Tor nodes are rate limited, but I'm not running anything that might trigger a cap (the occasional private ssh tunnel). wget cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test -O /dev/null --2016-01-02...

    Yourserver OpenVZ 256MB (Sweden)

    @k0nsl: thanks for confirming. Time to nudge support and see if they can do something about it. Granted, network aside, everything else has been good, including support when I put in a request on 1-2 occasions.

    Yourserver OpenVZ 256MB (Sweden)

    @k0nsl: thanks for the results. Maybe something's up with the node I'm on? Those stats are similar to when I first got the vps, it's only been like this lately. Took some 30 minutes to complete. wget freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O - -o /dev/null|bash Benchmark started on Fri Jan 1 20:39:08...

    Yourserver OpenVZ 256MB (Sweden)

    Are you still getting 11.5M/s speeds recently? Have a 256MB vps as well and uptime is great, but network has been like this for me since around end of September: wget cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test -O /dev/null --2016-01-01 19:04:30-- http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test Resolving...

    How do you pronounce 'router'?

    In Canada, "route" is pronounced "root", so "rooter" would make sense. However, I only hear it pronounced as "row-ter" ("row" rhymes with "how"), and I usually follow the pronunciation of the day to avoid having to repeat myself.

    Debian Founder, Ian Murdock, has passed away

    Odd, the Docker blog post is gone. Also wondered about the tweets yesterday, but initially wasn't sure if it was a hacked account. Sad news, all the best with his family and the Debian community moving forward. Edit: archive.is copy of the Docker blog post

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Speculation says it's a hello-world from CCC at 32c3 (based on IP whois, unless that's spoofed).
