    It's "Commercial Entity Agreement". Whatever that is.

    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    We also have this enabled but have thought about disabling it many times. It really complicates accounting. And i am not sure it is OK according to paypal's ToS. I'm not a native English speaker so maybe i don't understand everything correctly, but i think it's at least a gray area.

    SolusVM 2

    I still don't understand why they need to call it SolusVM 2 and it takes 3 years or more to do it. Couldn't they just work on incremental updates from the current version until they reach the desired feature set?

    SSD Hard Drives Going Read Only

    Hours don't matter for SSDs, check the total written gigabytes, also the flash program errors counter.  Maybe the SSD has just reached it's end of life (i.e. too many writes).

    Best coding language to know in 2015?

    Pascal, because it teaches you how to do properly structured code. Once you learn how to program using your head you can learn another language that is used today.

    Should service providers be able to refuse service based on country?

    Providers should be able to deny services based on the phase of the moon or anything else. It's a free market, nobody can force you to sell to people you don't want to sell to.

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    Microsoft just got some huge network (a /11 + /13 + /14). However it seems they bought it directly from Xeros so it didn't affect ARIN's stock. I wonder how much did they pay for these 3.5 million IPs.

    You can't set swappiness from inside a VPS, it's set on the node.

    BuyVM upgrades DDOS protection to over 100gbit+ with Voxility for free!

    I know, but they offer to use your own subnets (/24 minimum) on your server with them (no BGP session, they advertise your prefix from their AS). Not sure if they allow you to bundle this with DDoS protection though.

    BuyVM upgrades DDOS protection to over 100gbit+ with Voxility for free!

    The routing and latency / performance in Luxembourg already looks better than what it was with Staminus. By the way why are the IPs originated from Voxility's AS, did you get servers from Voxility and doing your own tunneling, instead of getting GRE tunnels with BGP?

    Ubuntu 14.04 OpenVz Memory Reporting Oddness

    Check the raw values in /proc/meminfo - maybe there is some white space / alignment change that the userspace tools in ubuntu 14.04 can't parse properly.

    Cisco mails hardware to empty houses to dodge NSA chop shops

    Cisco trying to screw the NSA? I don't believe it. Probably just stupid PR.

    Ordering from Voxility?

    Meanwhile Staminus seems to have improved in NL lately. I am monitoring some IPs (smokeping) and no longer see such packet loss and latency as before. They seem to have added a lot of Telia capacity, was mostly Tinet before.

    Why do providers not add your data to your IP (SWIP)?

    We assign (SWIP) all /29 or larger subnets, but not individual IPs.

    What are some uncommon and unique web-servers such as Cherokee and Hiawatha?

    Just spotted this link in Wikipedia - Comparison of web server software - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_server_software Interesting that IIS seems to be the only one known to support HTTP/2

    What are some uncommon and unique web-servers such as Cherokee and Hiawatha?

    Some long time ago there was a Linux web server that was running in kernel space. It was for serving static content at maximum speed. I don't know if the project is still alive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUX_web_server
