  1. Hosting with DSL may *SEEM* like a good idea by chris88 · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Web Hosting - Roll Your Own vs Hosting Company?
    But it never is. I work for a small web development company that use to keep a development server on site that was used to let clients watch their site as it got developed. DSL was rarely ever down except for a few miuntes every month at odd times.

    One tuesday morning the DSL just stopped working. Help desk phone lines were ringing busy, clients were mad, and we were pretty much helpless. When we finally did get through to someone at the help desk (the next morning) the person we talked to said it was planned network maintence. Network maintence doesn't happen tuesday afternoons. We were mighty pissed, espescially when this started happenning more and more often.


    Long story short though, your ISP isn't really accountable like a hosting provider when it comes to availability. They don't care you were running a server off that DSL connection. Any home broadband is just too unreliable in my opinion.


    If you wanted my advice, go find a small hosting provider that isn't mainly concerned with how many people they can fit on a stock RedHat machine.

    In my opinion Vex is a group like that, or (shameless plug), UpNIX

    Here. Course now that I've put this here, it won't get /.'ed

  6. Maybe a little infalated.. by chris88 · · Score: 1 · on OpenBSD: 4 Years Exploit Free

    I love OpenBSD more than most people, (Shown Here and Here) but I know of at least one remote SSH vulnerability that led to a root exploit in any OpenBSD version before 2.8. It bothers me greatly that they'd put something I see as quite untrue on their front page.

    The IBM Graffiti ads are here, but that PDF is long gone. Isn't that the 2nd time that site's been /.'ed?

  8. I suppose it's hard to feel sympathetic.. by chris88 · · Score: 1 · on She Was Fired, But Never Told
    When all I can think about is that German guy in Office Space. No one told him he got fired... They just moved his desk to the basement, stopped paying him and took away his stapler.

    Yup, no justice..
