My neighbor has a couple quadcopters and a RC Airplane he's restoring, some pretty neat stuff. Anyhow, today we were in the field near my house and he was messing with one of his quadcopters. Long story short, I want one now too. :) Was pretty impressed with the little one he had. Today was a...

Well, according to Twitter at least: https://twitter.com/RamNode/status/457006940472619008 Will this be true NYC?

As per the we had people submit tutorials/how-tos, product or service reviews or share a custom tool/script that would be useful to the community. The contest is now closed, so it's time to vote for the winners! The submissions are as followed: by @hzr by @wlanboy by @Nikki by @mojeda...

Yesterday and the day before pushed out some updates on the forum (server side for the WWW and Ad server), to speed things up a tad. This included updating Nginx  and some SSL and Gzip related tweaks. However it's come to my attention today that the ads now display strangely in FireFox, and...

I'm interested in bulk converting an entire directory of JPG files into progressive JPGs while also stripping quality to about 85% of the original in an effort to reduce file sizes. These are for the vpsBoard avatars, and I believe it can be done with jpegtran however I am uncertain how to...

What is better, and why? Seems like a lot of VPN services are abused which cause blacklisting of IPs and poor network performance. With a VPS, not so much, and you can just easily use a ssh tunnel or something like SSHuttle or even install VPN software on it. What would you consider to be...

I've been a fan of SSHuttle (https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle) for a long time, I think @KMyers introduced me to it a couple years ago. At one point I do recall having two servers in the middle without issue, which led me to become curious about a wider setup. Curious if there is any...

Someone today expressed their concern with their rating on http://www.webpagetest.org/ as it showed their First Time Byte as an F. Not super familiar with how this is measured or the importance of it, I simply Google, "First time byte". The first result? A Cloudflare blog post: Stop worrying...

I've got a Windows PC that I literally only use for Netflix. That's it. Well, today my USB wifi adapter for my Linux workstation decided to die, and the wireless device I use for my Windows PC, while it works on my linux desktop, drops the connection from time to time and is too unreliable...

Just curious how all of you ended up in the industry and what your background was beforehand. It's always nice to get to know where everyone came from and why they're doing what they're doingg. ;)

I've got a lot of random servers with a handful of different providers here, and I've noticed a lot of you guys have your own special WHMCS tweaks. A lot of them appear relatively simple, things like custom warning messages being displayed in certain areas, though some other features more...

Howdy folks, MannDude here. On March 8th vpsBoard celebrated it's one year birthday! What better time than now to run a contest? Here is how to enter: Write a tutorial, product/service review (does not need to be a VPS review, but related), or share a custom tool/script that you wrote that...

Can anyone here recommend a decent place to get some quality stickers made? I'm looking at ordering some with transparent backgrounds of a custom size for the site to give out free. I see some options online but have no experience with any of them, hoping some of you may have had some made in...

One year ago today vpsBoard launched with the intention of being a place where industry professionals and consumers can come discuss Virtual Servers, regardless of size or price. Time sure has flown by! We're all blessed to have this great community here and look forward to many more years down...

Is anyone here rocking a Cubieboard or Hackberry or anything of the sort? Been looking at some RaspberryPi alternatives that offer the same cost:performance ratio (I don't mind if it costs more so long as the increase in cost is reflected by the increase in performance). What do you guys think?

Feel free to showcase your portfolio or make recommendations. Looking for a logo redesign and some banners to be made for vpsBoard. Thanks!

This is now a thing: https://www.facebook.com/vpsboard If you're into the whole social networking thing, which I understand many of you are not (and for good reasons), you may wish to 'like' vpsBoard on Facebook. Maybe you're going to 'like' vpsBoard for the cross posting of noteworthy threads...

Well, I had a real long post typed up that explained this better but when I added the poll all hell broke loose and the damn thing was lost. So now I get to re-write this, shorter, and anger behind each keystroke as I relieve the stress of just losing a well written post. So, trying to please...

Browsing WHT, saw someone need a VPS with 1TB of storage. This made me think of how Gabe over at IOFlood used to offer VPSes with a dedicated drive, for high storage needs. He doesn't seem to do that anymore, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any companies offering VPSes with dedicated...

I'm looking for someone who can integrate DailyServerDeals.com into a theme I purchased from ThemeForest. The code is opensource and available here for viewing: https://github.com/OfferTeam/OfferListing I can provide an environment to do this and, say, $50. I don't know how long it'll take so...
