    Mozilla announces the death of unencrypted HTTP

    Having mixed thoughts about it. On one hand, It's a bold move on Mozilla's part, leveraging a large userbase to push for a pseudo-standard change. If Chrome or Safari throw in their weight, it may well be a done deal (which in itself may or may not be a good thing, but that's another...

    So, let's clear the air...

    OT, apparently the CloudCommando thing was a joke. Edit: just saw someone started another here about it, please disregard this post.

    So, let's clear the air...

    Thanks for responding to my questions. :) No further comment from me, only that I'd like to see this mess laid to rest soon (hence my not-very-subtle question about timeline). Time to move forward and get that website up fast!

    So, let's clear the air...

    Thanks for taking the time to make a video. After watching it, I'm not sure if I have a full understanding of the situation, got a few questions if you don't mind: - Xfuse picks up GVH VPS/dedi clients for free. Were there any other conditions that had to be fulfilled for this to happen...

    Poll: Importance of Control Panels

    Not much, as long as it loads quickly and has basic features covered (reinstall, network/disk/cpu stats, ipv6 assignment, rDNS). No particular preference for stock or custom panel, though I like CPs with an organised/uncluttered layout and few hierarchies (no need to click 3+ links to get to a...

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    I've been following the chain of events (quietly until now) and having mixed sentiments about it. Sorry, like Francisco I'm trying for the benefit of the doubt, but ... it's quite the mess. Not long ago the word was adamantly "no more selling VPS", today the rep announces relaunch with VPS...

    What browser are you using?

    Currently using Firefox, Pale Moon (Firefox-based browser) and Midori. Midori is light and coming along well, I'd use it more if it had more granular cookie/cache settings. Used to like Opera until the browser engine switch, before that it had a light memory footprint in Windows, was fast and...

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    Yeah, shortly after LET opened a shared/reseller category they changed the rules to only allow those with VPS offers to post, to retain the focus on VPS somewhat, and no unlimited resource offers. Imho, no problem with the individual in question getting another chance, as long as there won't be...

    Future of Shared Web Hosting?

    Basically as others said, having a big chunk of the underlying technology already set up is a nice plus, and lets you focus on developing the website/web applications. Less time spent on maintaining a mail stack just to get some mail functionality with your domain. Many non-profits and small...

    RemoteRAM Announces The Future of Cloud Based RAM

    Some cool specs you've got there, liking that Quantum Tunneled Broadband! Does your Desktop Grade plan support toasters as well?

    Acceptable time to wait for ticket response?

    Generally I don't mind waiting up to 48 h, with lowend price range especially I don't expect priority support. However, if the server is down and the provider has a SLA, then I'd expect some answers Soon, preferably within 8-12 hours given timezone differences. A quick first-response is nice, if...

    Bitcoin Wallet - Linux - recommendations?

    Something wrong with the bitcoin.org client or just looking at all options? The bitcoin-qt client is all right, I haven't spent much time with it but basic functions seem to be working. It'll probably try to get online to update the blockchain on startup, but IIRC it won't just quit if it can't...

    Canada's plan to start bombing in Syria

    @drmike: Canada Considers Taking Fight Against ISIS to Libya, Syria. Then there's also the related articles on C-51 (so-called anti-terrorism bill). Fwiw, the federal election is slated for October. Here's to hoping the other parties will get more seats, help curb the madness somewhat. Mmm...

    Note Taking Apps - Probably a rehash - Recommend some

    DroidEdit is a text editor and not really a note-taking app, doesn't batch sync but you could probably store your notes on an sftp or git server and edit them in the app. Being a text editor you can save in a preferred open format. Just mentioning it as another option (and it's a very nice...

    Net Neutrality has just passed. Internet is now a utility.

    I guess it could be a good thing depending on implementation, I'd wait to see how it pans out in the details. Only problem with the utility metaphor, ISPs and policy makers might try to compare it to water or other utilities and regulate it like one, e.g. funny things like impose bandwidth caps...

    Favorite current Linux Desktop OS

    Fedora 21 Xfce. Mostly I like the great selection of apps/packages ready to go. I had Arch on my Pi, which, aside from trouble setting up the wireless adapter each time I did a reinstall, worked very well. I'll be adding Arch to my next fresh install.
