    EFF Certificate Authority - Free SSLs! - Lets Encrypt

    Nice with another free CA. Let's see if this one carries more weight than the former one.

    Anyone need a 1GB BlueVM OpenVZ @ $13.50 Semi annually

    Hah! Not in .ch though. I've had one there for a year now. I will most definitely NOT renew. Maybe 40% uptime during the whole year. It's been TOTALLY dead and down since late September, response to support tickets takes MONTHS. And anyone that tries to get ANY information from them in their...

    What is your favourite linux-based operating system?

    In this case - 'LONG before' means around 10 years. I didn't mean to offend you in any way by laughing at 'back in the day', it just made me realize how EXTREMELY old I AM. And, you're probably right, I've never tried Knoppix, so I wouldn't know. I DO remember using floppy disks though, I...

    What is your favourite linux-based operating system?

    Haha, "back in the day"... I started with SuSE, 'back in the day', LONG before they were bought by Novell ;) But anyway, my present favourites are openSUSE, Debian (and a few of it's derivatives - such as Mint Debian, as a desktop system). Gentoo is another favourite, and, again - for...

    DrServer XEN 128MB (TX)

    I find it very difficult to believe that support would be 'impolite', at least if tickets were handled by the founder himself. He's such an amazingly nice guy. But of course, anyone could have a bad day.

    Hey man, you're getting old.

      I'll have to agree with the @DomainBop comment, nevertheless I wish you a happy 30th birthday. In another decade or two you'll be my age, and maybe just as wise :)

    Coffee. What are you drinking and what would you recommend?

    Yeah, that could seem odd... The fact is though; that caffeine CAN work as a sedative, at least on some people. Ref. examples: 1, 2 If I drink only ONE cup, I get sleepy, and can definitely go to sleep straight after that, whatever time it is.

    Exim4 as an MTA on Debian 7

    +1 for Postfix I think Exim4 is great, although in my opinion it can be somewhat complex to configure. I've never seen anything like your problems though. Other decent alternatives: Sendmail Procmail Qmail Minimum hassle mailserver (my opinion/experience): Postfix with Dovecot

    CloudAtCost Oversold, Underpriced, What to do? Launch new "Feature"

    I've had two 512MB VMs with them for about a year now. The total amount that I've paid for them is $29.50. So they've paid for themselves already. They also do what's expected of them perfectly. And I had no problem whatsoever switching from "Safe Mode" to "Normal Mode" and they're staying in...

    Coffee. What are you drinking and what would you recommend?

    I thought this was a thread about coffee, not liquid candy.  :D  You'll probably get tired of this once you get a few hairs on your chin though. :P

    Coffee. What are you drinking and what would you recommend?

    So what is a 'premium' brand to you? And if you must know, I only wrote that so @MannDude would feel better about himself, drinking that rat-poison :P But REALLY, once it was considered to be a very good brand, but I'd expect y'all to be too young to remember that. And to be fair, ANY Swedish...

    Coffee. What are you drinking and what would you recommend?

    I agree, it's not premium coffee. But (at least earlier, before Kraft Foods) it WAS a premium brand, just like MH. I'm Swedish - I don't drink it at all. :P

    Coffee. What are you drinking and what would you recommend?

    I think Gevalia tastes like meh however you brew/boil/press it, and with whatever water you use. Nevertheless it is a 'premium brand'. My personal favourite used to be Maxwell House, which is an American brand BTW. Nowadays it doesn't taste well at all, they've switched beans totally I think.

    Do you read reviews first?

    Of course! I also look for reviews on everything. When it comes to hosts with mostly bad reviews, I generally stay away from them. However, regarding a few, I've come to the conclusion that their bad reviews are unfair, created by customers with unrealistic expectations.
