    "The Interview" and Sony hacks.

    Such is the level of incompetence at that company to not see the backlash coming. How they ever thought it was a great idea to put out a movie staging the killing of a living political leader, let alone depict it so graphically ... they set themselves up for trouble from opposing camps...

    QR Codes - Using them yourself or just another dead fad?

    I've used them a few times. On one occasion I added a QR code link on an event sign and someone did scan it with a phone, so I wouldn't mind including it again. It's still very popular in some countries like Korea and Japan..

    What is everyone doing for IRC?

    ZNC or miau for bouncer, XChat for client. I also have BitlBee set up on a Pi but haven't used it much.

    What's your flat file blog of choice?

    Do you like Markdown? I know you said you don't want to spend much time with CSS, but if you want something light to get up and running quickly, take a look at Pico. It doesn't have lots of themes like Wordpress, but makes up for it by making it easy to create your own (plain HTML/CSS, insert...

    What is your favourite linux-based operating system?

    CentOS and Debian for servers. I have a laptop with Fedora and went with CentOS on servers when Fedora templates were unavailable depending on the provider. CentOS is well-supported by server scripts/tools,  Debian is great with small (<=128 MB) servers for making the most out of the allocated...

    Q3 2014 Lowend Provider Results

    I haven't been around long and can't comment on what it was like before 2014Q2, but seeing the results the first time, my impression was that the poll isn't about diversity but more a zeitgeist of whichever providers happen to be the most active on the forum and with the most competitive...

    LET Down?

    It was accessible here yesterday, 1-2 hiccups so far today but it's hanging in there. Before that it was mostly 502/522/524 errors for 3 days, so yeah, about 5 days here. It also seems to alternate between timeouts on www and no-www.

    Kindle vs actual books?

    I read with a Kobo Mini for some time before eventually switching to a tablet (which I got for other purposes but since it can be used as an ebook reader it I didn't need to carry both around). The e-ink might take a bit to get used to (the refresh mechanism that makes the screen blink...

    Sounds terrific, how long until the beta? I was thinking of getting a small vps and was looking at the different locations. Definitely Interested in the LU location. Guess I'll wait. :)

    Summer Hosts, Make me feel fine... Clouds4India

    Like others, I suggested in an older thread at the other forum to get a qualified editor or native English speaker to review the site. Aside from the slightly awkward sentences, I could see (at a glance, not looking closely) 5 punctuation/grammatical errors on the front page and 1 spelling error...

    Looks like 5 million Gmail Account info has been leaked

    Not listed but knew two people on the list and notified them. One already had two-factor authentication so nothing compromised, don't know about the other.

    CloudAtCost Oversold, Underpriced, What to do? Launch new "Feature"

    I haven't had this problem so far ... just checked and server should still be in normal mode after setting it two days ago. When it's in safe mode there's a yellow "!" sign next to the vps name. Will see if it stays on after a week. Can't recommend them currently, service had degraded over the...

    CloudAtCost Oversold, Underpriced, What to do? Launch new "Feature"

    (Hi all, first post, came from LET a while back but been mostly just reading.) OT, I don't mind this change as long as this safe mode remains optional. Granted, they could've handled it better, I didn't get any email about it and might've had downtime as a result. Some people don't log in to...
