(Quote) I've been in IT over 30 years (as both a provider and a customer) so believe me I've been fucked by undelivered mails more than once and have a pretty good grasp on how life works.
-
(Quote) Emails, in plural. It was not only one. Expecting the provider to "verify the status" of every single email they send is completely unreasonable. Every other customer besides op seems to have received the emails, so there was no re…

(Quote) Why not both? Why should a company be held to a higher standard than a customer? Customers have almost all the rights, they can be complete idiots and do extremely stupid things and they will still be protected by almost every instance. Now…

(Quote) So we are basically saying exactly the same thing. Using AI for personal, local one time jobs is fine, but using it for production code with high demand on security is a big no no unless you really know what you are doing. Pretty much exactl…

(Quote) The difference is that if the code that I run (locally, once, for myself) is buggy, the most damage it can do is possibly destroy my data. Data that I of course have backed up like a million times before I attempt to migrate it anywhere, hel…

(Quote) No, that is absolutely not what I'm saying. (Quote) I don't. I get the impression you are trying to make a point here but I fail to see it. (Quote) I guess it depends on your definition of "testing". I could ask AI to …
-
I know this is a unusual stance but I am a lousy programmer and I am well aware of that, so I do not consider myself competent enough to use AI to code. A lot of people are like "I cant code so I use AI". In my mind, that is like saying &q…

(Quote) I was speaking generally about the idea of karma points and a "leaking bucket" system, it was not meant to be in defense of Dasabo or their KYC debacle.
-
(Quote) This might not be a bad idea. Get bad karma and you will only be able to answer in your own thread, not start new ones and not reply in others. If your karma does not approve in a certain timespan, you will get banned. This would allow for …

I once had a blog. This was back when the internet was new and platforms like Movable Type and Blogger was all the rush, probably late 90's or early 2000. Blog services were plentiful and free and did everything they could to attract users so t…

That percent counter thing on the website is probably the most useless and annoying thing I've ever seen. Someone not only thought this was a good idea, they actually made the effort of making a fake counter and implement it on every page load…

I have a customer that have a FreeBSD machine running that they claim has been running on the same original install for over 15 years. It started on FreeBSD 8 and was updated and moved to new hardware several times until being virtualized a few yea…

Some 10-15 years ago, I was working with a European company that have their own manufacturing in China. Getting internet access in China was not really a problem, we did not really notice any great firewall but we did not really try to hit it either…

(Quote) I'm totally with you here, above 1GB is not lowend. I run stuff on 512MB and even a few 256MB, it just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that I'm not part of the memory hogging mafia. I have vps's in the 1-2GB range as we…

(Quote) I like the simplicity of the original UI, but a subtle refresh might not hurt.

(Quote) Thank you, this can not be emphasized enough! I've been in IT for 35 years and I can't even count the amount of times I've had customer thinking they have backups because they got the "backup completed" email, just t…
-
It looks like it's unable to read the filesystem so it simply backups the entire image bit by bit. It manages to do some compression, that's why the backup is a little bit smaller then the drive.
-
(Quote) I'm guessing you are backing the entire vm? Could it be that whatever backup solution you are using cant read the BSD's filesystem so it reverts to a bit for bit backup strategy? How big are the filesystems in each vm?
-
(Quote) Gnuhost changed their name to Zume, afaik it was just a namechange, no takeover or sellout.
-
(Quote) Then you might want to mention that on your website. I actively looked for it but found nothing so I assumed that you do not, like I think most people would.

Welcome. Nice website. Any plans on BYOIP, storage servers and private vlans?
-
As many have pointed out already, just fix the website. I feel your pain, I've been in your shoes many times. Charity work, no money for anything and the "but the website works" attitude, but trust me, trying to solve this problem wit…
