    Self-Hosted Web Proxy?

    Glype works great. Just make sure you hide or protect it or once it gets out or your bandwidth will be used up like crazy.

    JuiceSSH Pro (Android SSH client) free until March 18

    JuiceSSH is awesome. Protip for people who skip the tutorial: tap once anywhere on the terminal screen for special keys (arrows, ctrl, etc.).

    Choopa sends out Vultr to drown in the DigitalOcean

    To be fair, they are cheaper than DO as soon as you go above the 512MB plan. The whole blatant website copying thing is a serious turn-off for me, though. There's no good reason an established company like Choopa needed to do that.

    I Feel Ignored

    How are you contacting them, exactly? They've always replied extremely quickly to my tickets.

    PhoenixVPS to leave Phoenix, ColoCrossing in their future.

    Slightly ironic statement considering you hijacked this thread in the first place to advertise.

    Gmail Trick

    Outlook.com hasn't even been around for 5 years (not even 2). It's also pretty fantastic. You might want to try it before bashing it.

    wget vs wget

    Out of curiosity, what virtualization is that VPS running on? This is 100% reproducible on both of my Xen VPSes (one with CentOS, one with Ubuntu), but it doesn't seem to happen at all on OpenVZ.

    wget vs wget

    That's what I thought too, but I can run both commands over and over and consistently get results like these: # wget -O /dev/null http://speedtest.wdc01.softlayer.com/downloads/test100.zip 2>&1 | awk '/\/dev\/null/ {speed=$3 $4} END {gsub(/\(|\)/,"",speed); print speed}' 24.8MB/s # wget -O...

    Looking for a Pandora alternative.

    You can get a 30-day trial before you're charged, so you can always give it a go and cancel (wallet.google.com>subscribtions) if you don't like it.

    wget vs wget

    I'm sure this is a dumb question, but my scripting knowledge is limited at best. Why does this (snipped from the FreeVPS bench): wget -O /dev/null http://speedtest.wdc01.softlayer.com/downloads/test100.zip 2>&1 | awk '/\/dev\/null/ {speed=$3 $4} END {gsub(/\(|\)/,"",speed); print speed}' give...

    Official: Comcast to Buy Time Warner for $45 billion

    "A couple of metros" doesn't really give NYC, LA, and Dallas their due worth. The only big city Cox has is Phoenix. Anyways, supposedly this would give Comcast a 30% pay TV market share if you include satellite (DirecTV is pretty big), which is definitely a lot but not a monopoly. That might...

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    I would hope VPSes would be the focus on vpsBoard.

    Looking for a Pandora alternative.

    Google Play Music All Access (ugh, what a mouthful) beats Spotify hands down IMO. The streaming catalogs are virtually identical, but with Google, and this is a huge but, you can also upload your own music (or, hell, any audio files) to your library and then stream it anywhere. Google's Android...

    Where do you buy your hardware from?

    I prefer buying from Amazon (much better return policy, plus Prime shipping), but I'll go for Newegg if they're cheaper. I don't particularly like Newegg, though. Even Best Buy's done away with most of the policies they still have.

    Stock Market

    Why are you tagging every thread you create with your company name? Looks a bit SEO spammy.

    Who are your favorite higher-end providers?

    I haven't used either of them, but I've heard great things about LiquidWeb and ServInt.

    Do you use tapatalk for vpsboard/elsewhere?

    I think it's kind of funny how the people who despise Tapatalk have never used it. It's actually a pretty darn good app and being able to visit all (or at least most) of your forums through the same app saves a lot of time. Do you all hate RSS readers too? Because it's basically the same idea.

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

      Here's the thing: I've never seen a single person who's actually on the Business plan claim to be directly routed on it. Like in that thread, the one guy made a weird comment about what the plan "would" do but didn't say he was. It also kinda sounds like he's on the pro plan though from his...
