    [Python] Any interest in group learning?

    I'm wanting to dust off my old Python skills and start re-learning from scratch. I am very impressed with what @Novacha was able to accomplish for vpsBoard in such a short period of time when he created the ad-server and DailyServerdeals backend and love the rapid development using things like...

    Any good Linux YouTube channels to follow?

    I'm curious as to what YouTube channels some of you follow or would recommend to someone who is wanting to get started with Linux to introduce them to it as well as just general channels that would be beneficial for all. I've got a buddy who is interested in a career switch and has been...

    I believe a lot of us probably use VirtualBox at home to test out new distros or run isolated VMs for specific tasks or needs. Well, Oracle has released VirtualBox 5.0!  Now with (easier to use) Headless and Detachable options! There have been many improvements and even some new features. Take...

    Starting a VPS business with $10,000. How would you spend it?

    Let's say you had $10,000 to start fresh. Not a small budget, but certainly not a large budget either, though acceptable enough to get started in the industry properly. You have to use this $10,000 and nothing else to start a VPS brand or web-hosting service. How would you utilize this to get...

    Sneak peak of vpsBoard update

    At some point in the near future vpsBoard will be updated to IPB 4.0.X. IPB has been letting me down lately in terms of support for issues that have occurred and with the release of IPB 4.0.X they seem to be pushing users towards that. I considered new platforms, but after testing things out I...

    Do you use a VPN for your normal internet browsing?

    I'm curious how many people here stay connected to a VPN during their normal internet browsing or if they just connect for specific uses and disconnect when no longer 'needing' it. I know some will use one to access content unavailable to their region (sports media websites for some reason are...

    What is your preferred web server?

    ...and why? I thought it would be interesting to see what web server vpsBoard members prefer for their own projects. I assume Nginx may be the crowd favorite but I may just end up being surprised. I didn't list all the random web server options available so if your favorite is not in the list...

    The Confederate battle flag.

    I figured I'd start a new thread so the thread regarding the United State's decision to allow gay marriages can proceed without being sidetracked by the discussion of the Confederate flag. As most of you are aware, regardless where you're located in the world, one white individual entered a...

    So, lets talk Trans-Pacific Partnership

    While the media in the USA has been busy circle-jerking each other over a historical flag the news of the fast-tracked Trans-Pacific Partnership failed to reach most. Now with the announcement of gay marriage legalized in America, I suspect that will capture the viewers attention for another few...

    Physical spam mail.

    I must have a very high tolerance for spam. If I send a vpsBoard email (which happens 3, maybe 4 times a year) to members I get at least half a dozen people complaining because they received an email they were not expecting from a website that they have subscribed to receive updates from. These...

    Buying and selling BitCoin

    What does everyone here use for buying and selling bitcoin? Do you use something like Coinbase, or stick with more person to person transactions in places where such individuals have built a reputation of trust or what? Found my old BTC wallet and now that it appears things have relatively...

    Using Firefox on your Linux desktop at home or in the office? Here are some useful performance tips.

    Firefox has seemingly gotten more bloated over the years and for me, at least on the recent builds, has been increasingly unstable/buggy. For those who may be rocking Firefox (or Iceweasel) on systems that may be a bit limited on free and available resources you'll likely find these tips help...

    Where to order photo prints for uncommon dimensions/sizes?

    Hey all. I recently got back from a sort of vacation where I've got some great photos I want to have printed and framed, though most are uncommon dimensions as they're panoramas. I usually have places like Walgreens print off 8X10's and such but they don't do uncommon sizes. Can anyone make a...
