I really hope their high database load isn't a symptom of a hacking attempt or something like that

You touched on the part that I don't agree with, it's the picking and choosing of specific companies to favor that doesn't sit well with me.

Are you using Percona XtraDB Cluster?
Re:Making MySQL Better at GitHub on Tuesday September 02, 2014 @03:30PM (#8259598)
Migrations like this don't happen often, and being on-site would be common when you are running in a physical data center rather than the cloud. When we switched backend DB systems we did it from home.

Why is it not in the US?
You might be able to use Twilio and OpenVBX to just forward SMS to your existing email address.
Probably because nobody has contacted Synology to report the vulnerability
Re:But why can't I send people their passwords? on Wednesday June 25, 2014 @03:58PM (#7946419)
I just recently got this email from AWS:

Dear Amazon S3 Customer,

Amazon S3 now supports server side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C), a new encryption option for Amazon S3. When using SSE-C, Amazon S3 encrypts your objects with the custom encryption keys that you provide. Since Amazon S3 performs the encryption for you, you get the benefits of using your encryption keys without the cost of writing or executing your own encryption code.

Serious question here, what do you hope to accomplish by Tweeting something like this? Vigilante justice from fellow bicyclists?

Are you talking to yourself?
Probably not a great idea to stop on the highway.
Re:The New Linode Cloud: SSDs, Double RAM and much more on Thursday April 17, 2014 @12:41PM (#7604656)
Don't almost all web servers/browsers use SNI now? I don't see why you'd need multiple IPs for running multiple SSL sites nowadays. I have done multiple SSL sites on one IP for years.
But probably costs next to nothing in terms of time. Look at all the companies we're discussing just in this thread. Why does everything have to be only in terms of revenue?
Re:Newegg Launches $50 Amazon Prime Competitor on Wednesday February 05, 2014 @03:38PM (#7186635)
In some ways Newegg is like the Best Buy paradigm for me (try things out at Best Buy, purchase on Amazon). Newegg always has better technical details and specs than Amazon but Amazon usually has better prices + Prime. I hope this works out well for the Egg
Re:Newegg Launches $50 Amazon Prime Competitor on Wednesday February 05, 2014 @03:08PM (#7186443)
I wonder how well their marketplace is doing? The selection seems poor and almost random, like a flea market. I never think to check Newegg for things other than computer parts and I almost always end up ordering on amazon because I have Prime. I guess this may change that.
