    Zimmerman found not guilty.... Your thoughts?

    For those of you familiar with the case, what are your opinions? While I think Zimmerman should not have followed or confronted the teen, he was within his legal right to defend himself the way he did and I'm glad to see him walk away from it not guilty. He'll have to live the rest of his life...

    Need a router for the house.

    Long story short, I need to place an order for a router tonight. Doesn't need to be anything special, just something so I can get a few devices online. Needs wifi capability but I'll likely wire everything to it so a small handful of ethernet ports is needed. The one being used currently, I...

    Best password manager? What are you using?

    What do you think the best password manager is? I know a lot of people use LastPass, while convenient it's still worries me a tad that it's all web-based. Are there any non-web based password managers that work with browsers to automatically insert and generate strong passwords? What do you...

    Got a YubiKey in the mail yesterday which was required for a temporary job I am doing, but I don't know much about them. Looking around, I don't see any easy to follow guide on how to get it working with SSH authentication, though I imagine it's doable considering I use it to login to a...

    Your new VPS is provisioned, what is the first thing you do once you connect?

    Curious to see how everyone responds. For me, right after logging in via SSH for the first time I just immediately do: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y and then do whatever else I need to do for whatever I plan on using the VPS for. What about you?

    So, there are a handful of individuals out there working on VPS control panels, presumably as a SolusVM replacement.
