    OpenSSL insecure and has been for two years.

    Fyi checking tool: http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/#vpsboard.com Vpsboard is vulnerable, so once it stops being you should change your passwords. Also, any cert that was used on a vulnerable server and its private key needs to be killed with fire and replaced ;)

    The replication lag I saw was about 60ms to NY2 when I was messing around with them. Then again I have a weird 'if I want to back things up, it goes to the other end of the continent at a minimum' fetish.
