I feel the same sometimes I and I only get around 3-10/day. When processing abuse emails I never send a reply. Its just forward. If it is legally important and human written it gets a note down on my notepad to be checked on when appropriate. Most of the time its just automated crap (and usually...

Sorry what? The problem I refer to in that code block is obvious if you try and stick that code in a code block the code block glitches. EDIT: Found the trick its an incompatibility with tabs

Firstly let me say, this guide is targeted at Debian Squeeze, although it will work on Wheezy. No warranty implied if you lock yourself out of a server, be sure to have a KVM or something if you are attempting this on a production sever. At the end of this you should have a server that can be...

Does anyone know how to automate the actions on objects? e.g adding and querying swip details Google is less than helpful in regards to this. Anyone have any ideas? ARIN has a nice RESTful API for this :(

Based on my experiences, you either work for multiple low end providers or one large host. The difference is really just the amount of work required and employment benefits. Of course its important to build up trust when working for multiple companies, preferably work in different departments...

Most of the time you can do it direct to the likes of MaxMind yourself.

PM'ing now :) Awww 

Independent contractors, they send me an invoice for their services weekly. So I don't have to worry about any employee tax issues I currently don't employ any Australians.   Are you hiring? :P

I have a similar setup with OpenVZ in KVM. I don't know about its performance or stability (outside of a few basic tasks) really though, its only used for mass testing a couple of daemons over a virtual network.

You would be surprised, statistical methods are pretty effective at UDP. Good to see this posted publicly, we will of course be building some nodes with our standard infrastructure utilizing this. But you already know that since I am the one who bugged you to investigate it :) To those who...

Also alignment issues could factor in, I believe these are also logged to kern.log/dmesg

AMD k6-2 laptop or a IBM PC/2 if you count the old "play machine"

Either IPMI or quick (<10m) access to KVM is a must for me. Usually this rules out remote hands attaching a KVMoIP unit.

If the compression is high it could have something to do with CPU overhead, but even so it shouldn't be that different. Is it a tar.gz or similar archive or something strange?

There seems to be a strong relation between those who hang about doing support after hours and alcohol connoisseurs. Gin & 7-up actually sounds interesting. Personally I am a scotch lover when I can afford it (good or not at all), the rest of the time strong cheap spirits mixed or good...

Hard drives regularly die after being spun down from my experience. Had a server that didn't get rebooted in over 600 days, gave it a restart and 2/5 drives in the RAID-5 array failed to spin up. So yeah, spinning up and down will most likely reduce the drives life even if only by one power cycle.

With PPTP / L2TP / windows native VPN types - If you untick the default route option in the VPN (See: www.x4b.net/wiki/WindowsVPNConnecting - step 9) you can add manual routes using the windows route tool to your work subnet.

Review: After login "Your phone number is currently unverified. you must verify a USA or Canadian phone number before using our service." needs to be changed. Other than that it worked fine. In case you need to know my number is on the Telstra Wholesale (resold) network. Please delete my...

Ill test it for you (Australia), please delete my account after.

Cisco and VMWare certifications is always valuable for enterprises if that's where you want to end up. In "hosting" I tend to look more for experience than certificates or degrees (not that if you get one you shouldn't say so). Im sure most people heavily weight experience as well.
