    Why do people send spam?

    If you throw enough shit at the wall, some of it will stick.

    List of providers who offer DDoS protection.

    I am just talking pre-emptive measures, something that might help me sleep at night should the worst happen. And thank you @splitice good posts.

    List of providers who offer DDoS protection.

    So 20-25Gbps is a good target?

    List of providers who offer DDoS protection.

    Honest question, is 2-10Gbps protection actually worth anything? I know shady characters lie but I feel like I could very easily and cheaply smash though that protection with a few $ on HackForums. What's adequate protection if you aren't a regular victim of DoS/DDoS attacks but would like to be...

    Can I copy SSH keys from one server to another?

    ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/my.key.pub [email protected] or cat ~/.ssh/my.key.pub | ssh [email protected] "mkdir ~/.ssh; cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

    Linux Desktop Email Client - What folks are loving lately.

    Love Mail.app (Apple Mail). Along similar lines by the Elementary OS team for Linux is Geary Mail. Lightweight, looks good, minimal interface that puts your e-mails in the spotlight.

    Epidrive launches Berry Servers

    Don't really like the logo and the website is barren. There's some order links and a customer panel. Your post nor your site tell me why I should choose you guys either. Meh. Could be a nice brand, it could have used some more work before launching (or posting about) though.

    Best way to get people to join a small community?

    An active forum in 2014 is probably among the hardest sites to properly build. It's tough to compete with the monopoly with online conversations that Reddit (and earlier Digg) and social networks like Facebook have. I know that's not much use to you but when I was younger I used to use forums...

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    True, he is surrounded by enablers. They're only exacerbating his natural tendencies to be a prick though.

    Summer Hosts, Make me feel fine... Clouds4India

    Not really thanks. I would ask @wlanboy or one of the admins about an official review. I'm sure wlanboy would give it a better test than me anyway. You have to understand though it's not even your services we're calling into question, you won't get more customers to that stage. Anyone can...

    GreenValueHost / GVH and HostNun banned for operating shill ring

    John had a chance. He could have been a high-volume, low-quality host like CVPS but less abrasive and many more and he could have made good money doing it honestly. There's nothing wrong with some overselling to cut prices if you're clear and rational about it. The problem is John is fucked in...

    You do judge a book by it's cover online, it's all about appearances. If you can't do it yourself, hire somebody who can. The same goes with real life products. Before I buy any of your services your website is all I see, I'm not going to test the waters with my money if you can't even be arsed...

    Summer Hosts, Make me feel fine... Clouds4India

    Exactly. Digital Ocean paid a lot of money to build their brand. You should do the same. You don't have to spend a lot of money, you can spend a lot of time instead, but think of the impression you're giving out when you are taking things from your competitors. You can't even design your own...

    And who will you steal the image from next time? I don't think you see the deeper issue here. The issue isn't you getting called out, it's repeated theft in the first place.

    "To be honest and direct, I do not believe we would allow the use of this image since it has the DigitalOcean logo on it and I am not aware of any other cases like this in my experience. It might be best to locate a new image" So again: Stop stealing and trying to justify it. This isn't a...

    It's not me who will have a problem, it's DigitalOceans lawyers. But you did lie about asking for permission then?

    LET Down?

    Read his old threads. People hate him because he's dense headed and doesn't listen to anyone, it's extra annoying when he quotes your post saying okay or thanks but didn't read it at all. He's now closing down his locations due to troubles and lack of interest exactly like we all warned him...

    LET Down?

    I'm pretty sure I got on for 5 mins earlier (read the free ovh domains thread etc) when I got up but down here too.

    Maybe we got different reps. Like I said though, I don't think DigitalOcean pay their designers for you to use it on your own website and slap your own branding over it.
