"Only hackers, miscreants and pedophiles use Tor." Oh please. They're trying to take the moral high ground to justify their behaviour.

The only issue I've had with OVH and Kimsufi servers was that any incoming or outgoing SSH connections would also terminate on the first connection attempt. Always. Mac, Linux, Windows - it didn't matter. I've never had this

TBH with the current direction systemd is going in I'll probably end up using one of the BSDs. However, I doubt I'd be able to use a *BSD in a production environment as I am a contractor and all of my clients only want Linux.

Yeah, I look at that picture and I see myself a few years back. It is far better to prevent burnout that try recover from it, as it's a pit that's really hard to climb out of.

I have no idea why people hate janitors so much. They do their job so you can do yours better. It's a very simple concept.

Whatever happened to that Lisp clone?

I think their idea is to try get the ball rolling so that others will pick it up. Still a lazy idea if they don't have the time to maintain :(

While I don't host my Jekyll blog on Github I do something similar with my Jenkins server. Webhooks + Jenkins = CI/CD for my blog :)

"In addition to straight RSS reading it had some kind of controls for making groups of people. An admin could say, for instance, that all developers are subscribed to these ten feeds, plus whatever else they might want." I had a s

Well, not every company has sufficient staff turnover to warrant an in-house recruitment team (or person) so they find that it's cheaper to use recruiters every so often. Other companies don't have staff willing or capable of doin

While that is true I think you might have more impact than you realise :)

I think that the userbase is rather fickle and it depends on who you piss off. Each board has its own culture so, for example, if you piss off /b/ then you might get an angry mob that gives you grief but I doubt that would happen

4chan gets a lot of of traffic and is well-known so I think anything they use gets a boost in popularity :)

Well, others have written their own scripts - KusabaX springs to mind. There's another one called TinyIB or something as well.

Yep. IIRC the code hasn't really be updated or redone since then.

The original 4chan code was in Japanese and moot used Babelfish to try figure out what did what. From what I remember, the original Futaba code is just as bad ( http://www.2chan.net/script/ ). It's no secret that 4c

Well shit, if Adzerk can handle the traffic loads from 4chan (out of curiosity, how many users use adblock?) then it would be perfect for some of the projects I'm working on :)

You don't pay for the bandwidth CF uses (well, I don't know about their most expensive package but with the others you don't) and using a CDN drastically reduces your bandwidth bill

Their 'unlimited bandwidth' pitch is just marketing BS. The shared hosting industry has thin profit margins and so they needed to come up with a way to lure in customers and distract them from the fact that they have such strict r
