    OpenAds : A free and opensource advertising system for serving ads in-house.

    Disappointed I was unable to find a modern solution for serving advertisements in-house, I was contacted by vpsBoard member Novacha about the possibility of him creating a basic system to do what I wanted. If his username sounds familiar, it may be because you saw his Server Management System...

    Improved vpsBoard search results. Switched to Sphinx.

    Hey folks, The search feature on vpsBoard was definitely lacking. It was very difficult to find specific threads, particular keywords would return less than ideal results. The default IPB search setup was pretty poor. For example, previously if you searched for 'KVM', you'd expect to get...

    What do you guys think about ChromeBooks?

    What are your thoughts on them? Useful? When do you use yours? Can it / has it replaced any other device of yours? Trying to think of some contest prizes and been looking at ChromeBooks. Not sure if I'd want one for myself, as I'd rather just have a netbook or regular laptop, but I've never...

    Observium + SNMPD, one KVM VPS refuses to monitor.

    Unsure how to diagnose this. I've got Observium setup, it's monitoring everything fine, except this one damned KVM server. I've got two other KVM servers that monitor just fine. When I check the status of SNMPD on the server in question, it is running. It's not failing. I've set this server up...

    Best free or cheap (one time payment) billing & support systems?

    I've got a basic, simple need. I just need something that allows me to sell two products, with stock control, and be able to receive and respond to support requests. Basically just want it to help me keep track of billing, and to alert people when they need to renew their service and generate...

    Converting .flv to .mp3 via command line? (Debian)

    Best way to do this? See some use ffmpeg, some don't. I nab some YouTube vids from time to time (youtube-dl) of hard to find tunes. Would be nice to convert these .flv videos to .mp3s. So what does everyone here use? Ffmpeg? Something else? It's not a big deal or I'd just Google it, figured I'd...

    Rage4dns question.

    A week or so ago I switched to Rage4DNS. They've got a free tier, however I am about to surpass that limit. That's fine, I figured I would but I can't seem to find information on how or when they start billing. I submitted a ticket but haven't heard back. Usage summary 242651 (free usage...

    I got scammed. =[

    Damn kid took my $7. Now, this wasn't a lowend VPS either... Yesterday afternoon I was still awake, it was around noon and I get a knock on my door. I don't answer, I'm not expecting anyone or anything. Doorbell rings and knocks again. I look out the blinds, no car in the driveway. Weird. So I...

    Updates on SolusVM alternatives?

    Lot of different panels were being said to be in the works after the SolusVM exploits. What are the updates? I know there are a few providers rolling solutions for themselves, what about the options available to other companies?

    vpsBoard advertisements and availability

    Hey folks! In the past I've talked about implementing ad space. The general consensus was that most didn't care, some was against the idea, and providers supported the idea (for obvious reasons, they'd be the ones advertising). Well, after putting it off for awhile and after getting asked daily...

    3D Printers, anyone have one yet?

    I've been looking at the RepRap for a long while now, love the idea of being able to print a large portion of a 3D printer to give parts you a friend so they can build one too. http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page I'm not sure what I'd do with a 3D Printer, but I sure as hell would love to have...

    What virtualization are you using? OpenVZ, Xen, or KVM?

    Customers and providers, what virtualization methods are you using? You can choose more than one option if you've got multiple VPSes  using different virtualization. Personally, I've now got 3X KVM boxes, 1 Xen, and a quite a few of OpenVZ VPSes.

    Favorite / Best SSH Gateway?

    As the title may suggest, I'm interested in being hit with some knowledge about SSH gateways. I've got too many VPSes, would rather just login to a gateway and use that to access a list of servers that have their access restricted to the IP of the gateway only. What are my options?

    Woodworking

    What are the wood working essentials? I feel like I should own more power tools! I've got some projects in mind that I want to build myself, starting with a small and basic coffee table, then an inside workbench and finally a new computer desk. Any recommendations of what to get / what to...

    Best remote server monitoring solution?

    Trying to think of something to do with my Digital Ocean box that I bought on a whim. Figured I could use it for a server monitor while I decide if I want to use DO for production stuff or not. Anyone care to recommend a good server monitoring solution that'll monitor the resource usage of my...

    Owning a .US domain = Getting spam?

    Just got this email: I literally ordered this domain last week, have never used it, never used it as a hostname, still points to Namecheap DNS. I decided not to use it as I wasn't aware I couldn't enable WhoIS protection on this particular domain, so instead I ordered a random 3 character .PW...

    Stale commands in htop?

    First off, pardon my ignorance. Working on a little project last night and I notice this today. I made a bash script that runs on a cron schedule, that works properly and does what it needs to do (as of last run, anyway). However when viewing htop, I see a ton of instances of the script in the...
