    WHMCS to double their price of owned licenses.

    A big increase in price but still almost costs nothing for what the software does for you. Cheaper than doing those tasks yourself or hiring a team to do them for you. I wonder if this will cause anyone noteworthy to make a switch. Probably not, but I see people complaining on LET already.

    Mobile VOIP solutions?

    What is everyone using for at-home and mobile VOIP solutions? I may be relocating somewhere within the next year where there is no cell service what so ever. My communication options are limited to satellite phone, a traditional phone line, or VOIP. Figured it would be wise to familiarize myself...

    Regarding new offers and post counts.

    I'm as tired as others are of seeing rubbish posts being made and old threads being bumped just so providers can post a new offer. Starting now the "5 posts between offers" rule is being removed because it's too much hassle to enforce and it only creates poor content from those who have no...

    UK government quietly passed legislation that exempts GCHQ, police, and other intelligence officers

    From here: http://arstechnica.co.uk/tech-policy/2015/05/uk-government-quietly-rewrites-hacking-laws-to-grant-gchq-immunity/ I'd ask you for your thoughts but I have a feeling there won't be many who will speak up in favor of this and that it's (probably) safe to assume we're all on the same...

    How To: Determining how many 'VPS neighbors' you have or if you are on an oversold OpenVZ node

    First things first, let's give credit where credit is due. I wanted this to have more visible coverage and originally stumbled upon this information in which references this site. Because part of the discussion references how to determine the number of containers on the host node when logged...

    Anyone have a unused Xenforo license they would sell? (Or let me borrow?)

    Been playing around with different forum solutions on my Raspberry Pi and doing some random testing. Looking for a Xenforo license so I can install locally and tinker around with it. Let me know if you've got one as I don't want to pay the full price just to test it out. Thanks.

    Microsoft's new browser: "Microsoft Edge"

    Anyone else see this? http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/29/microsofts-new-browser-will-be-called-microsoft-edge/ What are your thoughts? I guess they're killing Internet Explorer. I'll admit it looks nice, but it's unlikely going to be a browser option for Linux desktops so I'll probably never know.

    What do you all do to keep your laptops and mobile devices secure while travelling? Both from unwarranted search when/if crossing borders, through security but also in the event your device is stolen or lost.

    DIY remote trail cam or surveillance with a Raspberry Pi and camera and cellular network for access.

    No, this is not a guide. All I have right now is an idea and (a lot of) questions. Idea: Raspberry Pi powered "trail cam" like device that can be powered by solar and use a cellular network to upload images to Dropbox or similar online service or remote server or send them as a SMS attachment...

    What is your favorite forum / community software?

    I'm curious what everyone's favorite forum / community software is, whether as an end-user or administrator, doesn't matter. There are a lot of great options out there and due to some recent gripes about IPB and lack of excitement of IPB4 I'm just wanting to look at other platforms that may be...
