I think this is great, even though I'm not a personal user of Windows myself but any push towards open source is good in my opinion. Interestingly enough, Microsoft's own Azure cloud service now allows for Linux OSes that now account for 20% all the instances deployed, which is still probably...

Fortatrust used to maintain a public blacklist of accounts that maintained debt with the company, though it appears to be gone now. I personally thought it was a great idea, even if the criteria for listing wasn't. I recall it being controversial. Is there a reason this practice isn't more...

One man has been confirmed dead while another has suffered serious injuries. The man, who was dressed as a woman at the time rammed his vehicle with another passenger inside into a security vehicle near the security gates outside of the where the NSA headquarters and the Fort Meade military...

Is anyone here operating a non-hosting, online business that sells actual, physical products? What are you using to manage your site, inventory and to keep track of everything?

Say you have two versions of the same document, but need to move a page or two from one document/file to a different one, what program exists that would best allow that? I need to send some stuff to the printer and while I could print both docs and take what I need from one and add to the other...

I'm working on getting a write up created for The Library that will serve as an introductory guide to resources available to service providers that will allow them to help combat undesirable clients, all in the effort of creating a better industry. Seems like most providers, when it's justified...

I recently bought a 100watt solar panel kit from Amazon and am now waiting for a battery, inverter and a some wiring to come in to get it set up. Obviously, I won't be able to power anything massive from it for a long period of time but the idea is that I'll use it to continually power my...

I've had a Xen VPS with Empire Hosting now since 01/31/2015. I've admittedly not used the VPS for much and originally ordered it for some little dev work and as a VPN since the server is geographically close to me (Not many providers offering services out of Indiana). I don't have any technical...

https://www.name.com/happy-hour This is great, was just looking for domain availability with Namecheap but will order from Name.com instead. Go go go.

In short: Phone and internet service providers (and I assume hosting companies) operating in Australia will need to maintain metadata records of customer activity for a 2 year period in order to assist with law enforcement upon request. Information required to be recorded include: Names...

Although it doesn't seem to be as used as often in this industry as other options, Parallels is very much so still around and kicking. Released yesterday, they announced their plans to rebrand under the name "Odin" for their service-provider line of products/solutions. You can view their new...

Coding isn't a strong point of mine but I've got a basic backup script that I use and while it gets the job done it still requires me to manually audit and check the server disk space and manually create additional storage by removing archived data as needed. In an effort to streamline things a...

Hey there, I'm looking for technical writers who would be willing to collect bounties on specific articles, tutorials and guides that I want to publish in the vpsBoard Library. We currently already have a small group of writers however I'd like to meet my original goal of having something...

I'm not certain why exactly it is, but after I got into RC stuff I started to get a bit interested in ham radio operation. I don't have my license yet, haven't even really done all that much looking into it other than beginning to read "Ham radio for dummies" while on the toilet... and browsing...

Hey there, I'm setting up a Wordpress blog for a little dev project of mine and haven't used it in quite a long time. Curious as to what plugins people are recommending nowadays. There are way too many to choose from and too many similar ones that are all rated highly. Just looking for basic...

I'm looking for an ARM powered device (Think RaspberyPi, BeagleBoard, O-Droid, etc) that I can use as a replacement to a normal desktop PC. In an effort to reduce my energy consumption as I will eventually be rockin' home solar power in the next year or two I'm interested in seeking alternative...

I'm wanting to do a bit of tinkering around with some not-so-common webservers (So no Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd) and see about getting some guides published in The Library. Anyone care to make some suggestions? I've used Cherokee in the past, and actually found it pretty neat. Didn't really do...

Has anyone here gone through the trouble of building a PC to be as energy efficient as possible? I'm trying to find resources online, rather it be a parts calculator or what-have-you and having some difficulty. Working from home, my computer is the largest consumption of energy in my home and...

Apologies for the ignorance, but I'm a tad confused on how this actually works. Say a customer has an invoice overdue on it's last day of the grace period, but request a 5 day extension. If I do nothing, they will be suspended when the cron runs for being unpaid. If I change the 'override...
