    Study finds that Bitcoin does not behave like a currency...

    ... where the word "currency" is redefined, to encompass the exact characteristics of traditional banking and government-issued money. Gosh, I wonder what the outcome of that would be! http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-23/bitcoin-more-speculative-than-real-currency-study-finds.html

    I've got an array and I want to break it up into two files

    Warning ahead: Bit-Pay (and CoinBase) do not have callback verification. You'll need to set a 'secret key' to verify that they are legitimate callbacks. I can't say I'm happy with the current state of the various Bitcoin payment gateways, security-wise...

    Self-Hosted Pastebin Alternatives

    Be aware that zerobin (and 0bin) actually use AES-128, not AES-256. AES-128 is the default for the library used, and no custom key size is specified in the code of either of the two.

    Google Web Designer

    Not to mention how even Google now seems to subscribe to the "PC means Windows" philoshophy.

    Fork of openSUSE.

    Online Code Editor

    If you are looking for just an editing component, have a look at http://ace.c9.io/. It's open-source, originates from a Mozilla project, and works really well by now. I suspect there will be an OwnCloud plugin for it, or similar. EDIT: Or you could, of course, just throw it into your own bit...

    Silk Road raided by the FBI

    There's simply not enough information available about the hitmen thing, as of yet, to say anything useful about it. Not to mention that it's completely irrelevant to the rest of the article.

    Silk Road raided by the FBI

    Quick analysis of the consequences of this bust that I wrote earlier today: http://joepie91.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/a-realistic-analysis-of-the-fallout-of-the-silk-road-bust/

    Vpn providers banned by Visa and Mastercard

    Others do. And generally, it's a bad idea to base rulemaking on lack of ability to see/understand/recognize something.

    Woolwich attack in UK!

    The word "terrorism" and "aimed at the armed forces and their families" have exactly zero to do with each other. It's used as a buzzword quite a bit, though. A bit like "cloud", except the use of "terrorism" as a buzzword has slightly more nefarious purposes. You're kidding, right?

    Yet Another SolusVM Alternative: VPSM

    More like libvirt + openvz = your shit will break randomly and refuse to work for no discernible reason. I'm not the only one with this issue, I've heard quite a few other people confirm that they had the same issue. Not something you want to make a production panel rely on.

    Stallion 2 - pictures and daily updates :)

    Why not just do something like this? https://github.com/joepie91/cvm/blob/develop/runhelper/runhelper PHP passes on the to-be-run command to the Python script in base64-encoded form (so no escaping madness), Python then runs it and provides the output in JSON format (this was to deal with the...

    Looking for translators for CVM

    Hi all, I'm looking for people to help translate CVM to their native language. I've set up a Transifex project for it: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/cvm/ - help would be much appreciated :) After registering on Transifex you can 'join a team' (language) and start translating straight...

    SolusVM Audit Update

    Personally, I consider this the best move, and would very much recommend other providers to do the same (after backing up the database, obviously). There's been quite a bit of root-level-compromise nastiness going around... fair chance that some of the masters have been messed around with in a...

    Yet Another SolusVM Alternative: VPSM

    Be aware that, unless you invent some other kind of meaning for the term, this will probably become trademark hell :)

    Capisso VMPanel

    Close, but not entirely. Open-source isn't about free availability, it's about free redistribution. While free availability can technically happen with paid/private open-source software (because whoever bought the software decided to put it online for free, legally), it's not a given. It's very...

    Capisso VMPanel

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source Open-source doesn't mean that the source code is visible, it entails free distribution as well. The whole internal flamewar in the open-source community about how 'open' would not be clear enough so a new term ('free' and then 'libre') had to be...
