    Custom Billing Software for sale

    You're all doing it wrong.

    No, that's not how it works. That's a perfect example of security through obscurity, which isn't actually security. Your code should be secure from a purely technical point of view. If you need to hide your code to keep it 'secure', there is almost certainly something wrong with your code, and...

    You're all doing it wrong.

    No idea about Virtualizor, but the code quality of SolusVM is absolutely atrocious - easily some of the worst PHP I've ever seen. The issues with SolusVM largely stem from poor developer habits. If you use a reasonable platform (not PHP), abstract things correctly, are aware of the different...

    FraudRecord Public Dumps User / Customer Info

    You'll want to make sure to have PlayOnLinux installed. Just in case at some point she wants to play Windows games :)

    12 US Data Centers Hosting Foreign Government Spyware

    Huh. Seems like Inception Hosting is also on the list.

    Need an OS recommendation for children.

    Another thing that popped into my mind; there might be a children-oriented image in the SUSE Studio Gallery. Those are basically all openSUSE derivatives with custom features/packages/configuration/etc.

    Need an OS recommendation for children.

    VPSBoard New Logo

    Hmm. Not bad per se, but the positioning of the balloon seems "off", and there should definitely be more padding around the logo in the forum theme:

    Critical crypto bug leaves Linux, hundreds of apps open to eavesdropping

    ServerCrate compromised

    Well, at least they notified their customers properly. A certain provider didn't even manage to do that correctly...

    Critical crypto bug leaves Linux, hundreds of apps open to eavesdropping
