Well, considering the punishing lack of efficiency both GVH and their upstream showed at mitigating attacks, it's not all that surprising they tried to use OVH just for the 'protection'.

Ditto.  I do require occasional ID verification for orders that trip certain flags - but I make it clear to the client that it's at-point verification only.  Once I have the account verified, I destroy the submission.  There is never a good justification for storing something that sensitive.

One thing that means right off the bat is that the GVH kids have zero experience with DB administration.  Allowing rootuser SQL access from anywhere other than inside the same box, and then only for maintenance, is incredibly, fatally stupid.  Right up there with allowing software you can't...

Ditto.  Let's put that into perspective: back when we were still around the 10k mark (that's clients with active service, not just a grand total of registered accounts), there were three of us putting in comfortable hours.  Francisco and myself doing dev, and Anthony and myself doing support.  A...

Little from column A, a lot from column B.  Keep in mind this is a kid that was constantly begging for help behind the scenes - to the point of allowing a prepubescent child to perform work on live production gear clients were dependant on.  How many times have we seen him make claims, just to...

... for WHMCS?  That's one of the more ridiculous things I've heard this year, and anyone that actually believed such a claim should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't allow attachments, period.  Let's just say there's a hefty chance of it being less than safe.

You're on the wrong forum to be looking to try and reuse a leaked SQL password. Their excuses are absolutely hilarious. "Loophole", "cloud".. had a good laughing fit over that line of BS.

Roll backs typically happen because of "whoops, we tested new code on production equipment again, and had no fucking idea what we were doing".

The Holy Mountain

Eh, danke, but I didn't have any interest in who it was.  Just the circumstance that I found odd.

The catch with life expectancy isn't that everyone could be expected to die off by 40 - but rather there were so many young-age deaths to greatly offset the number of people that lived to a ripe old age.  Remember, you're just looking at the mean result of age-at-deaths, not an accurate "you...

Getting rid of my sobriety problem.

Out of curiosity, why would the company you're representing want to hide the fact that they're hiring?

Gotta love when you make someone butthurt, and they spend the rest of the evening trying to DDoS an insignificant irssi client :P  Really, it's no surprise some kids end up in the situations they find themselves in.

Fixed that for you.

That's hilarious.  I suppose they think that all the time they spent trying to DDoS competitors (sorry Biloh, next time hire skids that won't sell you out) makes them experts on prevention and mitigation now as well.

I wrote up a LibreCalc spreadsheet for this some years back, but have no idea where it is now.  Did a little searching, but no luck on that front.

Sounds like they're just following everyone onto the bandwagon trying to resell Vox.  Given the punishing incompetence from that group, should make for some interesting fireworks.

Within the next couple of days.  Putting the finishing touches on the Shared02 node for Vegas now.
