Find the "friend" who can't look at you anymore without breaking into a fit of giggles / falling over laughing?

There is some stuff listed at http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration but it's more laid out in full examples rather than this code block does X

Linode doesn't (last i checked anyway) officially support FreeBSD but people were doing it years ago in the irc channel when I used to hang out there

I'm using fastmail and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onegravity... on push notifications, no issues at all. Very happy with it

Linode packages have more cpu available and their drive speed is actually pretty good for being non SSD as well. As I'm sure people will point out, neither one of them has a perfect reputation lately, but I've used both for various purposes, just nothing mission critical on DO, just basic quick stuff that doesn't need security or much cpu

$79 in Canada without any streaming :(

I believe he's MinorThreat aka Chris Lamprecht, which means his sentence wasn't for his computer related crimes oddly enough.

Is this serious or supposed to be satire or something? Cause it reads like something a deranged person would write to me... Making comments about how Google employees automatically bring police, "All of Google's employees should be prevented from getting to work", etc. Yeah they do bring police.. to deal with nutjobs that decide to randomly show up at their houses and stop them from working, stop a bus in the middle of the street and cause a disruption, etc.

Bit of trivia I didn't see noted: Web.com is the parent company of both NetSol and Register.com

Problem is, that is assuming that forwarding work email doesn't breach company policy in some way which can open up even more issues :)

I use a couple different emails for different purposes myself. A couple different names I use online for most things and my first initial last name for more professional stuff (ie: resumes, clients, etc)

With the amount of customers Linode has, I'm quite ready to chalk that up to people freaking out because they use their CC on Linode and not realizing they also use it on 3 dozen other things that might be the cause

It seems HTP went after nmap.org machines, so I'm guessing that woudl be the directed customer they picked?

One thing to note is that the irc channel if that is what you mean by chat, is mostly populated by non linode staff. And many of us there tend to be sarcastic as we idle there and chat about all sorts of stuff while we are bored at work or whatever. Unless it's someone with ops, you aren't getting an official reply and even then for something official they usually refer to ticket system.

I have the same issue with my gmail, also first initial & last name. It's amazing to me how many people don't know their own email address

I've done it myself for my home servers. Tends to get strange looks, I can only imagine what buying in the scale BackBlaze did caused for reactions :p

Except both of those tlds are a lot more expensive than a .com and as the article notes, do NOT register with the general public. So if you have the money to spend on a vanity domain that you don't need to have "regular" people remember, it is an option.

I'm pretty sure you are right, I don't remember it being $11 because I could have afforded that but $50 was harder to do at the time I was looking into it

I haven't personally used Mikrotik products, but I know a few people who have and they really like them. It's on my list of things to buy and try out when I have time & money

Ah ok. I looked at it and noticed it didn't sync when changes were done. Incron should work in theory, but I haven't tried it. The lack of a headless gdrive client for linux & the fact that I still use windows on a few systems is why I still use dropbox. Was just curious how well it worked in practice

I'm guessing that you only use it for occasional syncing then? Or do you use something like incron to look for changes then run grive, giving it more of an automatic sync?

I use them and have had no issues

Yeah, i stopped reading as soon as I saw what the resolution is. I have a current 13" (ASUS u36sd with more ram & a ssd I put in) and really, the screen is the only thing I dislike on my laptop now, which I've had for over a year now. Give me more pixels :(

I haven't really used it too much (i usually use evernote on my tablet), but Nevernote is supposed to work http://nevernote.sourceforge.net/

5% is the amount of business Apple provides is what I've heard. No idea how accurate, but if it is even close, I imagine some of the companies TSMC won't be able to handle due to contracts or just workload will flip to Samsung. So maybe not all that much of a loss to be rid of someone that is quite happy to stab them in the back whenever they have the chance.

Personally I know that I've had a couple inquiries about my AWS account get ignored and the one that finally got an answer came after I had given up and done what I wanted elsewhere.

And some bosses, like mine unfortunately, are so uptight about it that if I stop and stare at a wall / ceiling / close my eyes for even 30 seconds trying to solve an issue, I get the ok get to work speech and 15 things added to my already too long list.

And currently at least, you also hit #1 story on the front page of HN. Not too bad at all for an experiement hehe :)

As a side note: If you have an android device running ICS (I assume JB works as well but I don't have any currently to test), you can run OpenVPN for Android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.open...

This presents a nice frontend to OpenVPN and doesn't need root.

Key points from the description are "Uses the new VPNService API that requires neither Jailbreak nor root on your Telephone." & "Only tun mode support (Sorry no tap, with Android 4.0 only tun can be supported)."

You could probably do a hack to let the user login with ssh key and then immediately force the second factor auth to be run, booting the user out if they didn't pass it. Not the best way, but one option.

I also believe I once ran across a patch someone had done to the login code to allow both to be required, I can't find the link right off though as I'm at work currently. If I find it, I'll add it here
