Coincidentally, I just blogged about this today: https://raindog308.com/where-is-ddos-protection-in-premium-hosting/ tl;dr: I am surprised the premium managed VPS providers such as KnownHost/WiredTree, have not offered DDOS protection as an add-on offering.  Especially since so many budget...

Oh that.

I must have missed something.  Why obvious?

I don't think there's a way implement comments without something running on the server side.  So either you use some centralized place like disqus (paste in their javascript) or you have a php/whatever running on your server, receiving AJAX calls and storing it in a DB.  Or your whole blog is...

You should probably be more specific in your needs.   I blog with Jekyll, and have also used Pelican.  Both are static site generators - you write a post, then update your site.  Disqus for comments (which I'm not 100% comfortable with because it's a centralized tracker but I haven't explored...

"Fran broke it." "Waiting for Fran to fix it." "It's Fran'd up." "This is a long-range, deep backburner task, so we can wait to ask Aldryic when he's sober."

I host full frontal nudity pics of Kate Middleton and the links just seem to come to me.

I periodically open Outlook on my desktop and let it download all the mails.  That's the extent of my backups. I should look into gmvault - thanks. BTW, Google administratively closing your mailbox is not the only threat.  What if Google is hacked or has some malicious internal activity?

I'm a big fan of Toodledo. It's web-based and there are also iOS/Android apps.  You can email stuff to it as well, they have a full API, etc. The interface is not the prettiest, but it supports everything - contexts, due dates, start dates in the future, stars, folders, priority, status, tags...

Are you looking for more? 6sync has a custom control panel (biscuit) which is quite nice, though it seems frozen in time...I don't think it's changed in 5 years.  Everything works except a couple features that have been "coming soon" for a long time. But it's nice. Linode has a custom panel...

Must be that, ah, "R&D". DaveA commented on LET that he wouldn't tell anyone details about how Vultr runs (such as if they're using RAID0) because he needed to protect their R&D and if he shared details, anyone could "buy the same Solus modules". Of course, if anyone can buy the same Solus...

I religiously backup my VPSes.  I've gone through several evolutions in thought regarding the best way to do this, balancing security, bandwidth, and efficiency.   How do you backup your VPSes?  Below are my thoughts.   The Basic Requirements/Assumptions Backups need to be off-site, not at the...

I'm going to guess that if GVH couldn't handle 'touch index.html' to stop someone slurping down a .zip of drivers licenses, they probably didn't setup OpenSSL for their MySQL  :lol: And btw...hosting in OVH?  WTF?  Isn't GVH in the business of renting VPSes and servers?

One of those "I never knew it could do this" things.   Starting vim with the -x flag will prompt you for an encryption key.  After you enter it twice, vim will encrypt the file.  If you later vim the file, vim will discover the file is encrypted (because a magic is prepended) and prompt for the...

BTW, the title of this thread is somewhat incorrect.  GVH was not "hacked" in this case.  They just left everyone's info in a publicly-accessible folder.  No Guardians of Peace needed.     You can encrypt MySQL traffic.       Indeed, one of the things mysql_secure_installation does is turn off...

It's a denial of promo code attack!

Yes - I think Debian's gai.conf uses ipv6 by default but good to put on the checklist.  Thanks.

I have some VPSes that don't need ipv4.  They're backup servers, monitoring, etc.  So I was thinking of turning off ipv4 (inside the VPS - I am not the provider). Mainly doing this just so I'm using ipv6 more and to get more familiar with it. I'm wondering if there are any gotchas, anything...

Might be something hardwired into their client management script. I.e. They can only customize strings not modify the flow (or don't know how).

MERRYDRAGON - that is an awesome promo code  :) 512MB OvZ from a great provider for $20/year?  Added to my empire.
