    LiquidHost - new stuff, DDoS protection, DNS and backup space, SLA

    You didn't list a datacenter for the Chicago location. Is it at ColoCrossing?

    IPXCore leaving ColoCrossing in Buffalo and moving to Choopa, NJ

    Just received this e-mail.

    New GeoIP & JsonIP API

    I think that only applies to wholesale dumps.

    Choopa sends out Vultr to drown in the DigitalOcean

    So either A. use incremented IDs rather than generated IDs or B. make your generated IDs have a sufficiently big keyspace - a UUID should suffice.

    Bitcoin: Buy for $300 at MtGox, sell at Bter for $600?

    That would be a correct observation.

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    I've already indicated that it wasn't a smart idea to try and use this as a leak check. I just stated this in the post above. I also stated it to you the first time we discussed this. I've even apologized for it at that time. You are demanding something that already happened. Remember when we...

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    Perhaps it'd be a good idea to include my side of the story, as I do for your side of the story whenever I explain to anybody why I'm banned from BuyVM services. Something about fairness and integrity. Guess I'll explain it publicly, now that Aldryic has brought this up. One of my habits when...

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    Read what I said again. I was specifically refering to the overuse of the "go to the Cest Pit" for anything vaguely off-topic (or anything somebody didn't like, for that matter). You're arguing against a point I never made to begin with. EDIT: And no, "somebody tells you to so there's probably...

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    Both are registered MSBs. Coinbase in all states, BitPay in Georgia.

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    Are people actually, like, reading the posts in this thread before responding? The past two pages have been nothing but a cycle of "but it's too volatile" -> "yes that's what BitPay and Coinbase already solve"... Perhaps an edit of the original post is in order?

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    Locking down / changing / removing / hiding critical ("drama") threads: Not acceptable. A hugbox does nobody a favour, in the long run. Having these threads in a separate subforum: Probably a good idea. Hiding these threads from "View new content": Only if opt-out and visible by default (but I...

    Madadsmedia publishers affected

    I wonder if this is why PirateShore and their blog are blocked for malware by Google.

    Wow. Looks like he just baleeted all the blogs. @ElliotJ What were you thinking?

    Gatsby.im discontinued

    Is there a list of Gatsby-hosted blogs somewhere?

    Gatsby.im discontinued

    So, what happened to the blogs he was already hosting?

    ColoCrossing / VSNX Starts it's Hostile Takeover of the LOWEND VPS Market

    They're changing thread titles all over the place now, to make them more "politically correct", so to say. It's not just limited to ColoCrossing threads. That said, I'm absolutely not happy about this new moderation trend. What's wrong with a [solved] tag?

    Down to 4 VPS

    Multiple things, actually. Currently I use it as my incremental backup target (for both my desktop PC and a bunch of stuff on my servers), using Tahoe-LAFS. It's also used as a backend for some sites, and I'm currently working on an S3-like API and CDN frontend to turn it into a proper CDN...

    Down to 4 VPS

    Hehe. I might consider it in the future, but currently I have no additional budget :)

    Down to 4 VPS

    Oh dear.. time for a list, I guess. Some of these are paid, some of these are freebies / donations / borrowed. Also, aside from what is mentioned, most of these also run Tahoe-LAFS, and a slave daemon for my monitoring system. Most of them also run archiving scripts from time to time. I'll...
