So here is what happened: I purchased a 2 letter .io through a friend who could obtain them at $25 if ordered with an .edu email from Namecheap. Figured I'd order through him, save a few dollars, have it pushed to my Namecheap account and update the info. All was fine and dandy. Ordered...

So I'm sure you've all heard the news. The comedy movie that portrayed North Korea in a negative light has prompted attacks on Sony and terrorist threats by North Korea. As a result, the movie has been 'disappeared' and no longer going to be released. When the news broke, Alamo Theaters in Texas...

It's hard to believe that 2014 is almost over, and with that comes the first annual 'Provider of the year' polling. We've seen some great up and comers this year that have been making a splash in the industry as well as have been treated by the many tried and true established options as well...

For the past month or so we've discussed some possible updates to rules privately and have decided to get the community's input. We do not want to make any rule change without first consulting the community that they would impact, and this is more or less an attempt to just gather some feedback...

To those of you running a multi channel home surveillance setup, what are you using to connect with your DVR over the network? Most systems seem to come with clunky Windows specific software. Looking into this, I see ZoneMinder but I am unsure if there are better alternatives. What is everyone...

Hey folks, After renewing a few in-use domains, I noticed some domains that I am not using and have decided to list them for sale. I'm hoping some of you will have a need for them and can actually put them to use. Prices negotiable but I don't need to sell and I think pricing is fair for the...

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US. To those outside of the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_%28United_States%29 Anyone have any plans? I've got a four day weekend which is awesome and will be having dinner with my family and just trying to get caught up on overdue tasks...

I've got a USB to AV converter that allows me to capture / view video and sound from any AV device, and the software that came with it is Windows specific however I am sure there is a good Linux alternative and don't want to fuss around with Wine. Basically, I just need something that will...

A few weeks ago my main Linux workstation started to fail, it only stays online for 10-15 minutes before powering off. It's likely the PDU is almost dead, haven't spent time to diagnose it. What I had planned on instead was simply replacing it. I had a PC handy that was previously used for...

I'd like to build a stand up work station for several reasons. Namely because sitting down all day is horrible and slowly contributing to poor health (softening mid-sections...), I've got limited space in a small 650sq/ft~ house and would like to utilize my space more efficiently and because I'm...

I had a list of WebHostingTalk's 'unanswered' posts open on another screen, and saw: Clicked on it, thread was removed and user apparently banned as I can't see his profile either. Though you can read the Google cached version here...

Anyone else see this: http://www.wired.com/2014/11/microsoft-open-sources-net-says-will-run-linux-mac ? Lot more in the link above. What do you think?

I see there is no list of this available to those who need it, so I figure I'll start one as a resource. Just respond with the required information and I'll add it to the list. Providers listed in alphabetical order and include link to website, filtering locations, and filtering price. I'm just...

Last year I got a good deal on a refurbished Dell e6410 laptop that I needed to replace my much older Toshiba and picked up a Seagate external drive at the same time too, I feel like I got both for about $350 or something combined from NewEgg. Was a pretty decent Black Friday or Cyber Monday...

There was a nasty IPB 0-day released to the wild, as such vpsBoard was taken offline as a precautionary measure. While there is no patch available yet deleting ipsconnect.php should have fixed the issue. I want to thank @Francisco for alerting me of this as it came to his attention very shortly...

Pardon my ignorance, though I'd consider myself an IRC newb. I never used it much in the past and it wasn't until vpsBoard began that I started using it in any fashion. For me, I just use IRCCloud, a web-based IRC client that does a few things I find useful: Masks my local IP, which is...

As per: https://www.datashack.net/vps/ Supposedly pure SSD with Xen virtualization. Has anyone taken the dive yet?

So, my server from Fran arrived earlier this week and is now a part of my desktop clutter. I plan on using it for some local projects / tinkering / learning however am curious what everyone here would suggest for setup. Should I just go the Proxmox route and create some local VMs for tinkering...

A few months ago 123Systems was acquired by ChicagoVPS as per the announcement in this thread here ( ), though it appears that the company has changed ownership once more in a short amount of time as per today's most recent update seen in the original thread here ( /page-4#entry78575 ) and from...
