    What happened to the 2-year non-compete agreement he supposedly made with Duke?

    Anyone know anything about sowehost.co.uk?

    A hosting provider whose website is on a free web host? (Byethost does offer paid plans, but why a subdomain ...) Not very convincing, especially for someone who had set up shop for a few years. I'm inclined to agree with MannDude, more likely they're just getting started.

    Cloud IDEs?

    Thanks for the link, I've been looking for a self-hosted text editor/notes app. Just put it on my little local server, working great so far and can replace the web-based Markdown editor I had with a live preview plugin.

    Hostnun brand closing - consolidating into ellipsisno.de

    While we're on the topic, I'm still trying to visualise the new brand. With "Host Nun" it was easy to picture a world of clergy, habits and cloisters. ... and drawing up a blank. Flourescent lights and 4'33"? :)

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    @comXyz: AIUI, he picked up GVH's clients, not the name. See his regarding the deal in the "let's clear the air" thread, discussion continuing there.

    So, let's clear the air...

    Yeah, I saw the thread as well, my three cents: - Not a great idea to change the service specs in the period paid without compensation. if company doesn't want to provide a pro-rated refund, an extension on the new plans after informing clients of the upcoming changes on renewal and asking them...

    ODROID-W (Wearable) Dev Kit on sale at Ameridroid

    Thanks for the alert. I'm tempted to get one, but haven't a need or specific use for it. It'd be cool for a robot or something. Already happy with my C1.

    What is the biggest mistake that you have seen a web host make?

    I don't mind hosts using templates, but there's no need to pretend otherwise. It was a case where a host announced the launch of a new site promoting it as a custom site by a design firm and then when someone linked to an identical template, later claimed not knowing friend pulled a template...

    What is the biggest mistake that you have seen a web host make?

    Not the biggest mistake maybe but a big turn-off nonetheless -- hosts taking templates (same graphics and stylesheets) and ToS (large sections/entire page, just changing the name) from other companies and passing it off as a custom design commissioned from a firm. As if people wouldn't notice a...

    BlueVM sold / change of ownership? (UPDATE 5/14: Now owned by ChicagoVPS)

    Only assurances from a former employee who still keeps in touch with management that change is coming.

    Mozilla announces the death of unencrypted HTTP

    This. My concern is that they may be making everyone use a broken system and hoping nothing happens to the root CAs. Maybe like their extensions signing announcement, it started with good intentions, but not sure if that's where it's headed.

    FOSS video conferencing software?

    Subrosa maybe? Uses Node.js and webRTC, server requires MySQL. Tox is experimental, not sure if groupchat supports video yet, audio is supported.

    Cloud At Cost Offlined by Car Crash.

    Haha, I got one of those promo emails as well. At least they're getting better with important notices via email. No notifications on one of the occasions they had the storage array failure or when they rolled out that inactivity mode feature (I only found out because someone posted about it...

    Cloud At Cost Offlined by Car Crash.

    I have a 512MB box there, a year and ticking. Usage: VPN, storage. Had a web server with low traffic Wordpress site (since moved). Network speed: mediocre at the moment. Speeds were better last year. Sample 1 (typical up to December 2014): CPU model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5520...
