    It's time to Bosun

    Ah, so when you ask well-formed, detailed questions, it will snobbishly tell you to google it and vote you down.  And should by some miracle a coherent discussion emerge, it will be swiftly closed as opinionated and "not fitting the format". Gee, where do I sign up...

    Lightweight Wiki Recommendations Python based for LAN

    If you want extreme lightweight, put Tiddlywiki on a server.  Single page of HTML and the wiki is done 100% in Javascript. Of course, it doesn't have to be on a server - you can carry it on a USB, Dropbox, etc.  But it works on a server as well.

    vpsBoard downtime announcement

    ipsconnect allows multiple sites to share one login.  I think you can even federate to other boards. Invision kind of fumbled this response though.  They say: "It has been brought to our attention that certain PHP configurations allow for a potential SQL injection vulnerability. Although this...

    Virtualizing Home Server

    Virtualbox is another free home option, though it's more of a "run a VM on your desktop" than "install on bare metal to virtualize the whole box" thing.

    What's your flat file blog of choice?

    You know what's funny about these flat file blogs - kirby, b2evolution, anchor, etc. - is that all the screen shots are taken on Macs.  I guess no one who uses Windows or Linux flat file blogs :-)

    CVE-2014-4877 wget exploit

    This could certainly foul up a filesystem tree but unless I'm missing something, the wget client still can't get to things it shouldn't be able to get to.  In other words, the client may be misdirected to root, but that doesn't mean he can override Unix permissions.

    May Have to Ditch CrashPlan - No Restores 4 Days a Month

    I thought I was the only guy who made visios of my home network. KuJoe, you continue to be my hero.

    May Have to Ditch CrashPlan - No Restores 4 Days a Month

    That is not a bad idea.  My concern with NAS solutions (other than homemade/FreeNAS/etc.) has always been what happens when the mobo dies. I had a ReadyNAS that died after about 7 years of service, and the only way to get the data back was to buy another (long since out of production) ReadyNAS...

    May Have to Ditch CrashPlan - No Restores 4 Days a Month

    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...

    What's your flat file blog of choice?

    I don't want to think about what language - it could run in algol 60 for all I care. I guess I should have been slightly clearer.  What I'd like is: - well maintained, not some project for 2 years ago the author dropped - runs on typical shared hosting - nice if it has some community around...

    Whats Your Monthly Mobile Data Use

    Since July 22, 2014, or about 3 months, 13.7GB.  But I was on the road for 4 weeks of that period and was relying on my hotspot, which was 6GB of that. If my employer didn't pay for my phone and I had to buy my own phone, I wouldn't pay for mobile data.  About the only thing that I really need...

    What's your flat file blog of choice?

    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...

    What one should know if planning to start public mail service

    Aldryic, how can I increase my alcohol tolerance? Can you help me?

    What one should know if planning to start public mail service

    I guess someone didn't like being outed as a 14-year-old.

    What one should know if planning to start public mail service

    This.  You will start it, it will become a hassle, you will drop it.  Like a hundred high school kids before you. And what exactly are you going to offer that a hundred other free email providers don't already offer?  I can get a bajillion free email addresses.  The only people who will be...

    Dreamhost switches to Ubuntu

    They may well have many more - I was just adding up the number they scheduled for maintenance.  I really don't know - just speculating. They have 90 employees, live in 2 datacenters, host 1M web sites, and have 200,000 customers, according to...

    Dreamhost switches to Ubuntu

    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...

    Task Delegation

    Toodledo:   http://www.toodledo.com There is nothing better.  I use it all day long on web and iOS.  I've been using TD almost since it launched.  I don't even use that many of its features - just folders, some light tagging, and repeating tasks.  There's also contexts, goals, length/timer...
