Instead of just testing one supplier, I tried to ask them about their own assessment. It was a very frustrating experience and took 30mins of faffing around and the only answer I got was they hadn't heard about it and were going to loo

Remember that checking services for the OpenSSL heartbleed vulnerability without permission is actually illegal in many countries (UK in particular).

https://launchpad.net/ does this too (though just for Ubuntu distros). It's quite nice and a pretty impressive service, considering it's provided for free.

opennms is a bit of a culture shock if you're used to nagios. It works kind of inversely, in that it wants to auto-discover the servers and services to monitor itself. Frankly, it feels very much designed around snmp imo (which I'

The unconscious (often institutionalized) manipulation is the most "effective" anyway. See Manufacturing Consent for a good explanation of this if you're not familiar. Even if we could produce a neutral translation of an even

the ideal of unbiased journalism is a myth. It does not exist. Whenever it's claimed to be a goal it's either made from ignorance or as a way to mislead.

For 60 second "primers", they waste an awful lot of time with inanity. I think it would be more accurate to describe these for what they are: advertisements for the open university (and imo, poor ones at that).

Bad firewalling advice imo. Use ubuntu's ufw. Admittedl, ufw feels more difficult if you already know iptables, but it's way more robust than the example given there.

Due to few (any?) countries truly considering ISPs as common carriers most ISPs have to be the police at some stage. So it's a matter of how they handle it. It doesn't sound like DO have handled this well.

Digital Ocean are going through all the kinds of problems that newbies to the ISP business go through in their early days, but DO are having to do it after having already got enormously popular. Not a lot of fun for them I'm sure.
