    Free Public DNS resolver list (public DNS servers)

    Just started using a couple of my own VPS's as recursive DNS now -- one in Dallas & one in Northern VA, so I should be ok on either route. Locked it down via Iptables and PowerDNS to only allow my current IP on my wan router to be able to recurse off of it -- prolly need a better solution, but I...

    How did they get it so wrong? HealthCare.gov

    I'll go ahead and give my take on it: When I heard(2008) that was the plan for Obama, I supported the idea of a nationalized healthcare, where more people would get easier access to better care. Today, I have found that I was very wrong, and the idea I had* supported, is no longer anything...

    How do you like your steak cooked?

    I go with medium on my steaks -- since I have converted to bison instead of cattle, it's been a bit of a challenge to get the right temps and timing down, but I'll get it down eventually.

    NSA + FBI + Level 3 + Tierpoint = Total Monitoring

    It was most likely the upstream providers, but it also could have just as easily had been tapped at the data center level for that particular case. With the tactics that are used by our government, I am sure they used all means necessary to scare everyone in the path to Lavabit's systems, so...

    BTC, NMC, IXC, DVC - Opinions

    I honestly feel that digital currency is a gamble that has too many possible problems, and if/when it does collapse, will I even be able to cash myself out?. One part of me says that Bitcoin and others are possible to become long term currency, and this is the start of them, the infancy. Part of...

    What vps do you have and what are you doing with them?

    1. 10 is all I am able to remember, but I think that's all right now. 2. NYC, Las Vegas, Dallas(3), Phoenix, Virginia in the US, United Kingdom(2), and one in Frankfurt, DE. 3. NYC/Vegas/UK used for one DNS system, and then Dallas/Phoenix/UK and Virginia used for a ghetto CDN I have going, one...

    What kind of spec to handle 100k pageview/day

    I have a dedicated that is mostly in idle, and it is currently doing an average of 77/requests per minute(bit over 100k per day). The script that the remote hosts ask for is built in Perl/PHP and uses mysql to record the small bit of data that it's requesting, but their is literally no content...
