    Best performance tips when resource constraints are not an issue?

    I know a lot of us here run websites on servers or VPSes that are limited in their resources, and we must make adjustments and tweaks to ensure things run well within those limits. The forum for vpsBoard actually runs quite comfortably within 512MB of RAM, utilizing roughly 150-200MB~ which...

    WikiLeaks releases the secret negotiated draft text for the entire TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) I

    Woke up this morning, laying in bed was browsing Reddit on my phone and stumble upon this article (now removed) on /r/WorldNews. http://wikileaks.org/tpp/ Like you, I've not got time to read through 90 pages of legal jargon so some folks were kind enough to share their interpretation: Lets...

    Quiting smoking.

    So, November 4th was my last cigarette. Want advice on quiting? Just don't smoke. I ran out of cigerettes. It was cold, the gas station was closed (only place that sells them downtown where I live). So I didn't have any. The next day, for whatever reason, I didn't go out and buy more. At that...

    Anyone using vestaCP? vestaCP review?

    I just installed it, and I know a couple others have too. So far, it's looking pretty nice. Curious if anyone has used it for longer than the 15 minutes I've had it installed. I believe jarland has played with it. Anyone else? http://vestacp.com/ Check it out. Nice to see something different...

    How To: Guide on submitting a Daily Server Deals offer.

    I thought it'd be a good idea on writing a detailed guide on how exactly to submit a Daily Server Deals offer. The website automatically publishes a new offer each day at noon (EST // GMT -5) based on the next offer in queue. The offers are listed in the order they're received, which we believe...

    Which do you prefer: A fast support response or a detailed response with support?

    One thing I always appreciated was detailed support responses that let me know that the support tech actually took time to read my question and address it properly. Not a canned response, but a unique response to my particular question with details of what the issue was, and how it was resolved...

    Best email app for Android?

    I use whatever the stock app is now, it sucks. I'm setting up a new email account for urgent emails. These are notifications about invoices I've got due, monitoring up/down time alerts, etc. It's very important that I actually get notified via an audible sound upon arrival of any new email to...

    Another day, another WHMCS exploit.

    This was posted in IRC about 5 hours ago, I figured someone would have posted it here but I didn't see anything: http://security-geeks.blogspot.nl/2013/11/whmcs-5112-php-object-injectoin.html   I guess WHMCS exploits aren't news worthy anymore.   Anyhow, be safe out there y'all. It's a wild...

    BitCoins for dummies. How to get started with them?

    Yeah, I know there are tons of resources available to explain this to me... but not on vpsBoard! I just want to own BitCoins, buy them, sell them, and purchase things with them. Imagine I know nothing and just discovered them today (not true, but lets dumb this down as much as possible). How...

    Hi there, I didn't want to post this here, but figured it was worth a shot. Is anyone here hiring, or know of anyone hiring L1 support staff? I -can- do some L2 stuff, though I am not nearly as comfortable doing this for customers as I am just performing basic tasks for them quickly. I'm...

    New WHMCS exploit (10-18-2013)

    Not going to post the link to the exploit, but it can be found easily. May want to pull your WHMCS installs offline. Looks like it can dump admin and member data. Thought it was already posted here but looks like it's in the private provider forum so sharing here too.

    If you've got pets, share photos! I've got two cats, though want to get a small-medium dog. (Don't have a huge yard) I just untacked my curtains from the wall so the cats are now getting in the window again. They tear the blinds up so I don't usually let them up there. The little one is a...

    Tools for publishing to Twitter on a schedule?

    Curious if any tool like this exists. There is a vpsBoard Twitter account (@vpsBoard) that I manage that I link to noteworthy discussions, but lately have been lacking. Was wondering if there was a tool available that I could use to publish to Twitter, but also have the option of doing so in...
