Three things put me off Linode: 1. Dependency on ColdFusion. Seriously that product is dead, poorly maintained and powers the entire front end. That's scary. Even more scary than PHP written by outsources from Elbonia. They got hacked

Fine with that. IE8 is EOL next month with the death of XP. Vista+ will take newer browsers. Vista is stuck on IE9 but after that its IE11 for all.

Don't do that. I did that once and our static ip changed suddenly despite lots of money being spent on it. That was a painful day driving from London to Manchester for me to get to the console.

Great stuff. Glad to hear it. You could really knock all these companies on the head with your offering!

It does still boot the old one. You have to power it off, change the kernel and power it up again.

Amongst other obscure jobs I've been employed to dig people out of the crap many a time in the hosting sector so yes I'm pretty close to this sort of stuff. Normally in these situations, much as they do with DO already with dispar

No because hosts on 1/10th of the budget are doing these things already. I have great hope for http://bigv.io but they're not quite there yet.

Iptables is a crime against humanity from a config and documentation perspective. ufw makes it bearable. I'd rather use pf on BSD though.

by bananas 13y ago
Well they don't issue GRSecurity kernels. To be fair I'd just use FreeBSD which has a little better kernel architecture with respect to security.

That is true but as per the poster above, I've seen 10x the attack traffic on a DO IP address so any zero-days and you're already herded into a predictable net block ready to be poked.

Using ALL CAPS on their IRC channel works quite well ;)

by bananas 13y ago
Yeah noticed that as well. First thing I do is (on debian), update packages and the kernel, install ufw (allow only 22), fail2ban, postfix and logwatch. Then setup a non privileged user, sudo, turn of root ssh and password auth and move to

Adding to the commentary on here with something not so gushing: * kernels lag terribly behind the distributions meaning you're wide open sometimes. * can't resize or add storage * no freebsd support or custom kernels * VM availabi

I go shopping at around midnight. There are less people to want to stab then plus you get some crazy bargains. Got a whole 1.5Kg beef sirloin joint for £1 and had steak the next day :)

I wouldn't use ASDA delivery - you're right: they are total incompetent. I walk to the shop and carry it back. To be fair I've tried Sainsburys, Tesco, Ocado and ASDA delivery. Ocado is the best delivery by miles but it'

I get this all the time from Ocado. I stopped using them to be honest because they're expensive and the quality of items is no better than ASDA who are a 5 min walk down the road from me. Plus I don't smash my own eggs EVERY FRIKK

Edit: parent poster suggested I should join Dell for scamming but the cowardly sod deleted his/her post to preserve karma decay No that's my minimum charge for 30 minutes of time. For that you get 30 minutes of my attention, a V

Not particularly bothered about that. I charge a minimum of £30+VAT to do exactly the same if someone asks me.

I think half the people here haven't seen the ultimate crime: http://fabricland.co.uk/ The service in the shop is just as bad as the web site as well!

No I paid for those satellites with my tax contribution and they are for public use.

Yes I understand it entirely. There are enough AP's around me for Apple Maps to know if I'm in bed or having a poo. You can see the marker move. More services like this are bad. They already know who I am. What could possibly go w

How about simply "fuck off Google". We shouldn't have to do that and then reconfigure our piles of client devices. Also isn't it about as useful as the do not track header? What about other vendors mapping it and data se

Actually this is exactly what I want to happen to any devices that I own. Depending on the executor of the will of course, there is a lot to gain from possession of a device/account. People need to make separate arrangements like passw

Religious thinking is not about religion. It is a logical concept where the conclusion appears out of thin air devoid of any connection with the evidence. Similar to magical thinking but probably less fun. Whilst you might be right that our

Ugh I really don't like the brace style in that code. Seen it a few times in GNU code and it's a PITA as everyone else does it differently resulting in merge/patch issues. It's ugly too.

I think your point is quite possibly the greatest example of religious thinking I've seen for a while. Perhaps the family structure is just as rotten as it always was but now we don't lobotomise our depressed wives, pile them up

Thou who reimplements code is doomed to reimplement bugs as well.
