In this case, the attacker (supposedly) booted the machines into rescue mode through OVH's control panel. None of the steps you listed would've prevented that (I'm not saying it won't prevent other attacks.)

You could use the Ubuntu apt repository[0] managed by nginx. I've been using that repository for years, always worked great. New releases get pushed (almost?) instantly. [0]: http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#distributions

I think it would be really hard to start something like Netflix as a startup in Europe. The content licensing structure is quite a mess (which is probably one of the reasons why Netflix isn't available yet (with some exceptions in Scandinav

Totally agree. This is what I keep telling people whenever they moan about Game Of Thrones/A Song Of Ice And Fire being porn and/or too violent.

It depends on the manufacturer. For example, I haven't had any issues running Linux on ThinkPads (currently T420). Also, in my experience, there's a higher chance of Linux compatibility if you stick to the business lines.

I'm wondering if law enforcement is using something like Microsoft Photosynth[0] to process all the images. Probably would make their job a lot easier. [0] Photosynth example - requires Silverlight: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=d7d7

I remember reading somewhere that they were using Akamai as their CDN provider (at least for their donation page).

Can't think of a reason. SLC is a bit faster at writes, but a lot of new MLC SSDs are able to fully saturate SATA 6Gb/s, so there's really no point in going any faster. If you're really worried about write endurance, stick to MLCs with a lo

Netflix appears to be using SSD instances for their Cassandra deployment on AWS.[1] Also, more and more hosting providers start offering SSD-based products (e.g. DigitalOcean) [1]: http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/benchmarking-high-perf

If you're not doing anything crazy with them, you probably won't be able to kill your average MLC/TLC SSD. Let's say you write 20 GB to your SSD every day. The SSDs mentioned in the article have a lifetime of 72 TB, which means you can writ

I guess that's one of the big advantages JVM languages have. Using stuff like Spring or Hibernate (like Grails does), you benefit from thousands of person-hours spent on tuning those libraries and you still get native Java performance. Obvi

Yes, their domain-verified certs are free. I've been using them for a while now and haven't had any problems. See this post for browser support: https://forum.startcom.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1802

Agreed. It was also eating a lot of memory. Upgrade (4.0 -> 4.1) ran smoothly. Only thing that was missing in the upgrade guide was installing a new version of the post-receive hook, but since gitlab:check mentioned that and even provid

I'm using CloudFlare (without the proxy/CDN feature) just because of their awesome DNS management. Haven't had any issues and it's got a really neat interface.

yes, you should be fine. AFAIK most distros set up cronjobs for this automatically (for example, Debian/Ubuntu runs that once a month).

Google might not run the vast majority of their services on VMs, but they do use virtualization (Xen AFAIK). They even developed a cluster management tool for Xen/KVM: http://code.google.com/p/ganeti/

I've had the exact same experience with donation forms for multiple NGOs last week. We're probably going to implement some kind of IP limiting (similar to your solution) and additional plausibility checks (since it's only used by national N
