    adduser: The user `backup' already exists. (Debian)

    NOTE: Thread and posts were edited. Originally I was using the host-name 'demo' in this thread as a representation of my error, and not my real hostname. Turns out the user I was actually using is a 'feature' of Debian and supposed to be there.... Source...

    Site to traceroute from multiple locations?

    There was a site that was listed on here in the past, and I can't seem to find it. Could of sworn I book marked it, maybe it's on my laptop and not my desktop. Anyhow, as the title would suggest, it'd show the results of a traceroute from a seemingly crazy amount of locations globally. Anyone...

    Who here is using Gravatar?

    I'm just trying to determine if it is working properly or not on the forum. I was under the impression that if a member did not set an avatar, and Gravatar was enabled (it is) that it would generate a random one for them. Tired of seeing the default gray silhouette for those without an avatar...

    Home security systems?

    Anyone want to recommend a good setup? Namely looking for two cameras, for the front/back of the house. One on the porch to see the UPS/FedEx man drop off packages at my doorstep, the other for the back facing the yard. Preferably something that I can also stream from my phone if I needed to...

    Staying connected to two VPNs at the same time?

    I've got to use a VPN for work, or I can't access any of the backend or staff stuff. But it doesn't impact my regular browsing, GeoIP tool right now would, for example, show my home IP. Though if a do a traceroute to a server at work, it'll appear as if it was started from the VPN and not from...

    Meet Don, a Half Eaten Pie and a vpsBoard moderator. Ask him stuff.

    Apparently since Martin didn't want to create his own thread and wanted me to, Mr. Half Eaten Pie wants me to create his for him too. Well, what can I say about Don that hasn't already been said about Winston Churchill. Wait, what? Scratch that. Hey, Don's a moderator here. He's one of the guys...

    Meet Martin, the other vpsBoard admin. Ask him stuff.

    He didn't want to start this, so I'm doing it for him! MartinD is the other vpsBoard admin, being able to do all the things MannDude does. Only thing I know about him is that he's Scottish. Ask him stuff!

    CNServers

    I know a couple people here are doing business with them, just curious how you came to the decision to do so? They've got no website, just a stock/standard WHMCS install. No information about their network, company, etc. All I know is that they are a registered business...

    I am MannDude. Ask me stuff.

    Well, I was going to wait off on introducing these threads as I wanted to do someone more noteworthy. At the time of the SolusVM exploits Phil from SolusVM told me via IRC PM he'd be interested in being the subject of the first of many planned threads in which the community gets to ask questions...

    New LowEndBox kickstarter project.

    Seen this yet? http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/lowendbox-kickstarter-competition-2-1500-worth-of-prizes/ I like the idea, sure. But don't like how it'll be just another run-of-the-mill hosting operating. Same specs as a slew of other providers, same boring locations, and at the end of the day the...

    socket.error: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address -- SSHuttle

    So, a month or so ago I was messing with my Raspberry Pi, and as I had no WiFi dongle for it, I was attempting to bridge my connection via eht0 to my Raspberry Pi from my Crunchbang (Debian) based PC that connected to the net via WiFi. Long story short, I could ping back and forth and SSH...

    Good podcasts?

    Give me something to listen to while I sit here and work. Usually listening to music, but that can be distracting when I need to change rooms on Turntable or go through my YouTube playlist of stuff I like. Would be nice to listen to people talking instead. So, send me some podcast suggestions...

    Any VPSes being offered in Chicago utilizing Singlehop's facility?

    As the title may suggest, was curious if there are any providers in Chicago that offer OpenVZ or KVM Virtual Servers from Singlehop's facility? Lots of Chicago offers from other datacenters/providers, just wondering if there are any known providers offering services from SH?

    Care to recommend a good, affordable CDN?

    Anyone wish to recommend a good affordable CDN? Would rather pay quarterly or longer, don't want to deal with monthly invoices if I can help it. Wanting to ditch CloudFlare and utilize a proper CDN. Trying to keep costs low, and need to keep vpsBoard in Las Vegas where I have cheap DDoS...

    New signature guidelines.

    I hate creating and enforcing new rules, but sometimes it's necessary. As the title would suggest we're now going to enforce some signature guidelines. Don't worry, nothing too strict. Guidelines for signatures will be as follows: NO images. I think we removed all of them anyway. Limit...

    BestVpsCoupons.com -- What do with this domain?

    Been sitting on this domain for a while. Did have some random reviews / affiliate links to the higher paying affiliate programs, but never did anything and eventually took the site down. All ethics aside, I originally bought this domain hoping to earn a bit of extra cash from affiliate links and...
