    vpsBoard advertisements and availability

    Dunno what is the situation at the moment, I already added an AdBlock Plus filter. But indeed it is the upper banner that was obnoxious the most, absolutely huge ass and over the top. And yes, maybe it's something personal, yes I run my projects without any ads almost out of a principle, to...

    vpsBoard advertisements and availability

    Finally sold out, have we... Of course it's such a huge expense running a simple forum with a hundred or so visitors, absolutely need to put five huge ass banners to at least somehow try to cover it...

    Running your own mail server

    Somehow you did not feel the need to ask blergh to "calm down" after the above crap, yet my response which addresses all of his points without personal insults is somehow "not calmed down enough" for you?

    Running your own mail server

    Hello! Yes, DKIM is some silly crap invented by Yahoo for no good reason, I completely ignore it. SPF is an extravagancy you can bother with "to feel good about yourself" if you have too much free time, but in reality no one cares about SPF anyway, and you can not practically set hardfails...

    Anyone have experience with Cherokee web server ?

    I tried Cherokee briefly, but then it changed the config file format to some insane human-unreadable one, and insisted that from now on you are supposed to configure the server via the web-interface, and direct editing of configs is no longer supported and is discouraged. Moved to Lighttpd and...

    Ad pulled from LEB --- SeFlow – €24/month 16GB RAM i5 CPU in Milan, Italy

    Because that's unfair to SeFlow, they get zero sales from the post at the top of LEB if they have no stock at the moment, then the post slides down because other offers get posted, and according to the rules they can't have another post for a month. Now LEB decided to do the right thing...

    Ad pulled from LEB --- SeFlow – €24/month 16GB RAM i5 CPU in Milan, Italy

    If you haven't been living under a rock and generally so awesome and investigative as you say, you would 1) have seen SeFlow's WHT thread 2) have seen SeFlow's LET thread, both of which went with flying colours, and at the end of both people saying they've got no more stock; So yeah, the blunder...

    Ad pulled from LEB --- SeFlow – €24/month 16GB RAM i5 CPU in Milan, Italy

    You seem to be soooo desperate to dig up something, anything at LEB. That would have been even funny, if it wasn't so pathetic to see.

    Small HTTP proxy (+ SOCKS)

    Can confirm this, polipo was very unreliable for me. I am just using squid currently. You configure it once, then keep the same config file and use it everywhere (e.g. on a new VPS that you also want to run a proxy). This is not difficult.

    Google: "Gmail users shouldn't expect email privacy"

    Not sure what's your point here, but privacy-conscious people *are* indeed migrating away from Google services in general.

    Running your own mail server

    Don't overcomplicate it, was already too much with all the greylisting/filtering, people are just going to glance over and decide, "nah this is too difficult and time-consuming, guess I'm staying with GMail". What's wrong with just showing how to get basic postfix+dovecot running, and all the...

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    If you want I/O performance, you should have got a Cubieboard, it has a SATA port.

    why manually approving reverse dns is a good idea

    "Why hassling each and every of your legitimate customers to catch 1-2 scammers a year is a good idea". I don't want to ticket a provider for rDNS and then be at their mercy if I'm "allowed" to set that, or not. Not to mention asking a real person to set a dozen of various silly hostnames (for...

    Did you ask if after "the mess has been cleared", they will reopen the Kimsufi line to worldwide availability?

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    Not just 2G, my 16G is "cancelled" in the same manner. I filed a ticket to "Commercial Advisor" about this, no response yet.

    [India] - OVZ /KVM- 1GB RAM - 500GB Transfer - 100 mbps port - $7/month or $48/year

    bizzard you got a terrible ping even still within your ISP's network... I'd say they have some troubles at the moment, either a malfunction or very overloaded. Are you sure that ping to other locations is not high too?

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    So point me to a 500 GB VPS for 3 EUR with no RAID then. Still can't? Feedback from people who already got their servers delivered shows everyone is getting brand new 300-600 hours uptime HDDs on this offer. No need to make up dirty stuff when you don't have other arguments.

    What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

    You can't bridge WiFi to anything if you're just a WiFi client. Only the AP can bridge. Very annoying, but that's how it was designed. Google around if you want to know details. An alternative would be to set up routing+NAT on the PC, not bridge.
