    XVM Labs | 512MB SSD OpenVZ | $2.87 per year | NOT VIRTOVO

    Got one, instant activation -- so far, so good. Obviously this deal seems pretty nuts but Bandwagon's been around for a while and I've only heard good things, so hey, maybe it'll work out okay. If not, it's $3. The only real caveat is that you're limited to a max average-per-hour use of 7% of...

    CSF Install

    Bingo - check /etc/csf/csf.allow. You can just remove the automatically added IP if you want to make sure everything's working properly.

    vpsBoard Exclusive Dedicated Server Offers || E3-1240v3s and Atom C2750s

    I could be misremembering but I think he once said it was Crissic for IPs.

    Domain Registrars?

    @Sardonik name.com has (excellent) phone support and has supported DNSSEC for years. They're very well reviewed and a much better option than GoDaddy (also a bit cheaper, mega-sales aside).

    PayPal Business US Verified Requirements

    They need an SSN or EIN when signing up and sometimes "randomly" (presumably some sort of MaxMind-esque fraud protection algorithm at work) ask for additional documentation.  https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/confirm-your-business Relevant: "To help ensure PayPal remains a safer place for...

    OVH 1GB ddos protected VPS, Quebec

    Pro-tip: you can enable permanent DDoS mitigation (the "Anti-DDoS PRO" that Kimsufi and SYS servers don't even get) in the IP address section of the new CP. The basic reactive Anti-DDoS works plenty well, but permanent means it doesn't take a few seconds to kick in if you get DDoSed.

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    On any given day 15-30% of all internet traffic is delivered by Akamai. They're one of the few large companies actually using their big allocations and are the last ones we should be complaining about.

    Domain Registrars?

    I would be willing to bet you don't. On the front page of Internet.bs (emphasis mine):   Domain registration prices as low as... USD / year .com $8.49 Awesome, right? Well, no -- they say "as low as" for a reason. Click on the price and you get a table where you see that there are three...

    Coolest traceroute tool? I think so

    Laptops have had simulated scrollwheels for a long time. Try sliding a finger up and down the far right side of your touchpad, or sliding two fingers up and down at once in the middle.

    Domain Registrars?

    I used to use Internet.BS for everything but lately I've switched to using NameSilo instead. They're a bit similar, but NameSilo's better. For example: Internet.BS looks cheaper at first, but unless you have more than 2,000 domains with them they're not because their advertised price is an "as...

    CEO/Founder of CloudFlare thinks HTTPS is over UDP

    Definitely referring to that. 1. Neel Mehta (the Google Security researcher who discovered Heartbleed in the first place) sends out that tweet. 2. One of the CloudFlare guys (Nick Sullivan) replies to it. 3. Matthew Prince sends out the tweet in the OP just a couple hours after Nick's reply...

    Devs should not upload their configs - check this bad example

    This is an incredibly deceptive thread title -- implying Amazon leaked keys when that's not remotely true. People uploaded code to GitHub which includes their secret keys. This isn't a leak, just developers being stupid with their own code: no different than if I uploaded a script containing my...
