Today is 12/13/14. Which we Americans can celebrate...and Europeans can only look on enviously, because there will never be a 13th month that will allow them to celebrate 12/13/14. This reminds me of Pi Day (3/14) which is also impossible for Europeans to enjoy. I admit the American...

I'd never heard of this project, but apparently it's been around since 2006 and has raised millions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaidSafe The technology sounds interesting, though once I read "MaidSafe Coins" I rolled my eyes...

Neat tool:  https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html   I was highly amused that an SSL I setup tonight rated A+.  Cheap PositiveSSL running on an nginx web server - nothing fancy.   Meanwhile...   Lloyd's: rated C.  https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=online.lloydsbank.co.uk...

The video is fake but it's a, um, interesting concept...? The technology is not that impressive once you see how it's done (described in the vid), though as the comments point out, once you put your finger down you'd block a section of the "Screen" I think they're looking for someone to give...

My normally rather staid employer is suddenly going nuts about Docker.  Or at least the developers are. To me it seems like a slickified OpenVZ with one template to rule them all. In fact, I'm having a hard time seeing what it does that other container technologies don't do, except that...

I've been a happy CrashPlan user for some years.  I never did a big restore, but periodically have done small restores and all worked well.  I like their setup and the ability to prioritize some directories, connectivity seems fine, and in general the service has worked well.  I have 6TB backed...

Thinking about starting a new blog and thought I might do something other than Wordpress just for giggles. Not interested in Ghost.  Well, not real interested anyway...want something I can throw on a shared host and not have to spin up a node.js instance and manage it. I looked at some flat...

Got a note from Dreamhost saying that the web server my shared account is on will be moved to Ubuntu.  DH is moving from Debian to Ubuntu, which I thought was interesting...main reason is apparently that the LTS releases are supported longer than Debian's. DH does have a ridiculous number of...

...but until now, we had no proof.  It started as a VPS control panel, and now... http://imgur.com/gallery/d1T4XWg @KuJoe

A friend at work passed this link: http://map.ipviking.com/ No idea how legit, but it's very pretty.

I saw a thread over at Less Exciting Talk about these guys.  I should have resisted.  But only $7.  Amazon says $10.95 now but mine was $6.71 with free shipping. What use will I have for a 128MB ARM device with Ethernet, USB, and SD card?  I don't know.  But you can run Debian on them.  So it's...

So I read: US forces occupied a country with a history of political instability Insurgents hostile to the West, partially based in an adjacent country undergoing a civil war,  are surging once we've pulled out of the country The client regime begs for support The client regime is thoroughly...

DNS/WHOIS shows that Evernote's discussions are hosted by IPS using their hosted communities. I asked in the IPB forum if they'd been hacked and the mods there deleted the thread without comment, so... ;)  $ nslookup discussion.evernote.com Non-authoritative answer: discussion.evernote.com...

I have a huge comic book collection.  My database of it is very out-dated and I want to re-inventory and create a fresh database.  I'm not a desktop programmer so I'll probably do a front-end as a web app. I could certainly write something from scratch using php/perl/python (+MySQL or even...

I'm sure vpsboard is your #1 haunt...but when you're not obsessively reloading vpsboard, what else do you read?
