    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    I am happy with our integration of Bitcoin's we havent noticed any abuse spike (our main concern) and have been able to receive the money as AUD direct into our buisness account for tax purposes. I also take a portion of the funds as BTC to be spent at those companies that are also accepting...

    X4B & Bitcoin

    Just to do an update on this as many people have contacted me off board wanting to know the success / number of transactions using this. Currently ~5% of our transactions are going through BitPay (93% Paypal, 2% Payza). We are considering this a better than expected success. Most transactions...

    High performance remote message processing with rsyslog

    ZeroMQ does alot more than what is needed from a socket point of view. And while it has some neat features (it could be used instead of relp probably) its just a socket library it does not provide any of the too disk buffering in case of failure provided by rsyslog. As it not replace the disk...

    High performance remote message processing with rsyslog

    Warning: A bit of a ramble. Over the years on multiple occasions I have had to write software that takes messages sent from one server (remote) and does something (e.g insertion into a database or executing some script etc). This tutorial/guide will cover my current implementation and include...

    X4B & Bitcoin

    I am pleased to announce that we are now accepting Bitcoin for all our services. Its been a long time coming and a much requested payment method. FYI we are utilizing BitPay as our payment processor, a really great system that is relatively easy to integrate. Account balance is still expressed...

    Customers, what to do with them?

    Virtual Good / Service / Intangible item for a Not Delivered claim will win most likely win it in your favor. Although a chargeback will probably follow. Lots of customers are really nice, fortunately its the exception that are usually like this. And you don't want them :) Thats not to say...

    Cloudflare - why backends are easy to find

    Cloudflare free tier DDOS protection

    They will kick you out we have had many clients come to us regarding this. The worst part is actually that they pass it through, it reveals your backend to the world and from then on the attacker can take you down without involving cloudflare (bypassing mitigation).

    Cloudflare - why backends are easy to find

    GRE / IPIP tunnels and L2TP + IPsec solve these issues (especially if NAT'ed since then only a private IP address is ever leaked in case of mistake / hack attempt). FYI Cloudflare will also remove their proxying if there is any significant legal pressure.

    CI & Deployment System

    Thanks Adduc and shunny, Ill try Jenkins next (possibly with phing, need to read-up first). Bamboo on demand is not really meeting my needs easily yet. I still welcome any further recommendations.

    CI & Deployment System

    We are looking to make a change in our development process. Namely moving from a manual "check the CI system" to something that is more integrated into the deployment and development process. We previously used scrutinizer-ci but it does not meet our needs in this area. I have applied for a...

    Poor man's load balancing / geo-based forwarding - Need some hints.

    A reverse proxy will most likely give little to no overhead actually, it may even give you better routes if they are optimized (depending on your providers flexibility). There are exceptions where performance would be much greater of course (e.g LEB resources saved by pooling backend...
