Guess what I'm trying to say is it's probably not entirely providers' fault for "failing to adapt to changes in the virtualization market" or "still offering yesterday's feature set" when SolusVM had been hyping change for what, going on 2 years now, but never delivered. Seems like they just...

accidentally read that as 'interpellation' at first I suppose at least a few were waiting for v2, which was announced how long ago now? Some screenshots of a 'LAMP Test Suite' in June of last year and then nothing. Come to think of it, OnApp's acquisition of SVM, however many months ago...

Looks like France is gearing up to help 'em: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/01/12/new_french_law_to_require_backdoors/ In an interview last April, Octave claimed OVH would leave France if the 'black box' surveillance law passed...

I've never had a Linode account so have no real opinion of their service, but have found their tutorials to be useful in the past, at least. Is any other provider more thorough in that area?

I don't understand why web hosts just 'abandon their posts' as above. If it's going to end and the host has no intention of contacting their clients, why don't they take it all offline rather than let the unmanned WHMCS awkwardly linger? Or is that intentional?

Apparently aaaaarg is being sued by a publisher of English translations of books that are still under copyright in France, but just of out copyright in Canada. https://www.gofundme.com/aaaaarg Does anyone know the name of the publisher who is suing them? I haven't really looked around yet...

I remember last year when some of the leading Binary Options brokers weren't even bothering with SSL certs, and these are websites asking for credit card details with a minimum deposit of $250. Seemed kind of hilarious, but apparently had no detrimental effect on their businesses.

Question from a disheartened PHP lifer, are there programming languages out there that don't limit the context to variants of 'echo' and 'print'?

I dunno. I don't pay close enough attention. Wasn't there a vpsBoard thread about it a couple years ago? I was under the impression most threads on LET are set to auto-sink after a certain amount of time. No idea re: the extent to which thread sinking is quietly guided by moderator biases. I...

Provider vs. Proxy doesn't seem to be going anywhere, any interest in a Web Hosting State Actors Gone Wild / Data Expropriators Bare It All! thread? Thinking something along the lines of Exquisite Corpse's KOFF Calendar (NSFW) meets http://embarrassmentparty.biz, but consisting entirely of...

Yeah, there's a bit of an 'unreal' quality to it all, especially considering the scale and frequency of the attacks. As in no one ever really seems to care when it happens. The more attentive probably just shrug it off and change their passwords, while the remaining 50% never become aware that...

You must be new to web hosting!

At least the default *.pem and *.key values in services like nginx and postfix are set to 'snakeoil'. Dunno, SS* comes off as a tired old confidence trick to me. Guess it's probably more of a structural problem than anything.

Didn't read these, but might as well throw in a juxtaposition re: their 'Validation Team' while we're at it. With Little Fanfare, FBI Ramps Up Biometrics Programs (Yet Again)—Part 1 With Little Fanfare, FBI Ramps Up Biometrics Programs (Yet Again)—Part 2

Hopefully SpaceX will be able to convince the Van Allen radiation belts to use OpenVZ before the launch of Mars One!
