    The Helpful Server Admin Script Thread

    It would be amazing if there were scripts like this for email related stuff. I don't think I've ever dealt with anything more confusing than exim.

    Red Hat, Inc Aquires CentOS

    Well the "new look" certainly doesn't inspire confidence.

    Auto installer for small vps?

    Have you ran into any problems yourself? I've been using it with Debian 7 without any trouble for a while now.

    How do you like your steak cooked?

    Depends on who's preparing it and what kind of steak it is. If I bought something expensive and am preparing ti myself, I like it medium rare to medium. Same goes for expensive restauraunts. Anything else is medium well, or another dish entirely. Why eat a terrible steak when you could eat a...

    Django and Ruby on Rails security issue

    After reading into it a bit it looks like they were using a function built into RoR and Django that should've done all of it on its own. Isn't that the entire point of a framework? They're supposed to do things the right way so you don't have to try your hand and screw it all up.

    Django and Ruby on Rails security issue

    Cookies? Couldn't this be easily avoided if you just used some sort of hash of the users IP to check if the cookie is legit? Seems simple enough.

    What vps do you have and what are you doing with them?

    3 BuyVM 128s for personal stuff, and a 4th that I intended to use for a few small clients I did web dev for on the side. Probably ditching the 4th though since I don't have time for dealing with small clients outside of my job anymore.

    OS X Mavericks

    Managed to get a full 8 hours out of Mavericks on a rMBP 13" with constant usage at work yesterday. Not sure what's more surprising, me working for 8 hours straight without a break or having a laptop come anywhere near its advertised battery life with regular usage.

    FAPVPS - New special offers for the holidays! 50-65% off

    I was interested until I realized this wasn't a service specifically for porn sites.

    Paleo diet

    In terms of exercise the only thing I did more of was walking, and this was probably over the course of a few months (February through May). I gained a lot of it back after I got a job though. After I managed to lose weight for the first time in my life I convinced myself I could also take a...

    ServerPilot - new hosting control panel for hosting PHP sites on VPSes

    So this is a remote control panel? I've always wanted make something like that. I was thinking of putting together a little panel that ran locally on your PC or phone so you wouldn't have to worry about others even having a chance to compromise the panel.

    Paleo diet

    I managed to lose maybe 20 lbs doing keto which is basically atkins, which is basically paleo minus the sugar, and I was eating a ton of food. I think there's really something to the whole no carbs/ketosis thing.

    Your computer uptime?

    Under 24 hours. Ubuntu 13.10 can't go more than that without trouble on my hardware.

    Good resources for learning PHP?

    Not sure how if its your post language, but coming from c# and Perl php.net was more than enough to help me figure things out. I already avoided most of the bad practices by doing web dev in Perl first, so a refrerence for function names and weird php oddities was really all I needed.

    VPSAce hacked, database stolen, encryption key for cards likely taken

    Don't blame Cloudflare. Unless you're specifically using it to block users with javascript turned off it can function without it. Then again what do I know, I just use it on my own sites.

    VBulletin.com got jacked!

    Another nail in the coffin for traditional western forums. I don't want to see things go the "login with Facebook or go away" route, but I've never been a fan of those phpbb/vbulletin monstrosities.

    OS X Mavericks

    What are all of you using for web dev? I've had this thing for a litle under a week and I've settled on Textmate and cyberduck so far, since I don't want to pay $70 for a text editor I might not like, and pretty much every single FTP/SFTP client is either abandoned or broken.

    Simple mail server setup

    I'm migrating a bunch of sites from a terrible oversold vps service with cpanel and all that jazz to an unmanaged vps that will be run almost completely through the command line. I have pretty much everything under control but email, and am hoping I can get a little insight into how I can get...

    VPSAce hacked, database stolen, encryption key for cards likely taken

    Am I the only one who's a bit suspicious why a hacking website wants to make me run their javascript just to view their site?

    BuyVM - Leaving Buffalo Early

    Don't get too mad when you deal with mine. I've already called myself an idiot enough for the both of us ;_;
