    Website and Forum on Linux VPS

    There's Raptor Editor (haven't tried it). KompoZer hasn't been actively developed for some time, but for quick static pages it'll do the job. If you don't want to touch HTML at all, you could also consider installing some kind of light blog or CMS that has a collection of themes, pick one and done.

    Google introduces new parent company, Alphabet

    Yeah, I agree a new parent company makes sense when they've diversified their tech and research portfolio. It might be easier to sell off if one venture doesn't work out. The move also drew attention to a bigger picture. I mean, people have been hearing about a venture here and there, but put...

    Which is your favorite vacation place ?

    +1 for someplace warm and calm Vancouver, Canada is great in the summer. A leisurely walk along the waterfront, a slight breeze lifting and maybe some festival going.

    FYI: Planned vpsBoard maintenance will be occuring later this evening.

    Looking good! Thanks a lot for the update and for removing the third-party JS. :) - Obvious minor one: need some space between the Location field and its value in member info in a post (currently shows "LocationUSA") Is emoticons search not working? I tried to type in : ) (no spaces) and...

    Email Spam Decreases to Less than 50% of all Email

    @drmike: what's the email 2.0 replacement? Stupid question: how is the data for the reports typically sampled? Based on RBL reports or ... ? Slightly OT, has legitimate mail also decreased (in total rather than percentage)? Probably an illusion, but I feel like sending mail has gotten more...

    Finnish teenager "Ryan" got 2 year suspended sentence for hacking

    Overall, I feel the sentence is fair given he was/is underage, but on condition he attends rehabilitation programs during the two years. This can involve conselling to resolve motivations for doing what he did and being in a camp learning a new skill or putting existing skills to different use...

    Hostress, LLC has acquired GreenValueHost v2 Clients and domain.

    @MarkTurner and @Tyler: thanks for the links. That was my understanding, though I wasn't entirely sure of the details in the US, just that in some countries like Canada this would be unacceptable. According to the customer.io article, the spam laws of the recipient's country usually apply. Could...

    Hostress, LLC has acquired GreenValueHost v2 Clients and domain.

    Looks like cancelling account at that company and/or asking email to be unsubscribed doesn't unsubscribe said email from their list, despite assurances otherwise. No surprise really, given the history of contradictions and broken promises.   What I don't quite understand is why people have to...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Agreed. Maybe because I'm used to seeing live birds with feathers, so they seem healthier to me that way.

    Hostress, LLC has acquired GreenValueHost v2 Clients and domain.

    Yeah, that's the official path to date. However, "GVH clients" as client data have been exposed to more people than parties involved in the sales (db leaks, used by former employee to advertise another brand), which adds to the feeling of gross negligence in handling client data (and by...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    It may be a jest now, but no surprise if someone out there is working on this. There are featherless chickens already.

    Hostress, LLC has acquired GreenValueHost v2 Clients and domain.

    Been pondering about that too. Maybe a few cases of people buying from GVH on an experimental note (i.e. regulars who were well-aware of the service quality and bought anyway for kicks) and maybe, just maybe, they are tempted to renew if the price is still competitive after adjustments and the...
