I agree but what happens if someone posts under someone else's name? It would probably be best not to perpetuate these things and to just end the vitriol now.

Does anyone know of any replacements? I get zero chargebacks via Google and struggle to find anything that's comparable? I've got the usual horror story behind PayPal (that cost a lot) and Stripe does not have adequate anti-fraud.

From my understanding is that it lets the customer's bank see exactly who's making the payment and gives them a chance to deny it. The merchant is then protected from fraudulent chargebacks and these are covered by the bank. Essen

From my understanding 3D secure would go a long way to help protect against chargebacks. Why not make it optional? https://support.stripe.com/questions/does-stripe-support-3d-...

I heard years ago that Level 3 were trying to encourage people (non-customers?) not to use these DNS servers. I guess this is one way to ask people not to use them. Having said that, 8.8.8.8, Google DNS, has been planted firmly in my memory

Yes I would, I'd probably jump back to them. I've just not had time to sit down this year!

Definitely a third party service. Then place the bumper sticker "No Bitcoins on our servers" somewhere :) I integrated MtGox and BitPay. Compared to Google Checkout (XML mania) and PayPal (documentation drama) they take about 5 seconds to i

Earlier today I received a phone call from a number in Mountain View CA. It was Google letting me know in advance that Google Checkout was to be shut down (and asking to keep the call quiet). This was, to say the least, very surprising cons

This won't protect against OVH being compromised. In the manager you can select the netboot / PXE option and "boot from rescue mode". From there you get e-mailed the logins from the server booted onto a Debian rescue image. You have full ac

I personally feel this is a really minor problem (if that!) I found my personal phone number appearing on customer bank statements as a Stripe merchant. That's a bigger deal than exposing an e-mail address, but it's still a minor issue. Do

Have you considered providing this data to merchants? For example, it would be great to know if you do get any calls for customers (or my prospective customers) and to see roughly what they're asking. That way the merchants can act on the d

I was in a similar position with my ex -- although I think I used my start up as an escape putting more time into it than I would have otherwise. Then again, I could just have an addictive personality and it might not have made a blind bit

No it does not, it's only when you ping their edge routers do you see packet loss, they still pass all traffic (and thus ping) over them just fine. You can see this in traceroutes or running mtr. I believe (not 100% sure) they put their ant

by _Lemon_ 14y ago
It probably won't change. Their US routers do not appear to be any different to the EU ones (e.g., they both intentionally rate limit ping to them so you'll see a lot of timeouts).

I have a response from OVH: We are aware of this and are currently investigating it. Our initial thoughts were that it was indeed a compromise but after further review it seems that this is actually a bug with Debian and certain versions of

That's the only reason you've found so far? That's pretty good. They have much worse things in place:- their anti-dos measures make it near impossible to put anything of value on their without a LOT of work. For example, once they detect a

I just fired off an e-mail to OVH to see their response (and to probably make them more aware of this). OVH pre-install a number of things by default on their Debian image including monitoring software (it integrates into their manager) and

I have decided on wanting to use riak as well. I was wondering if anyone had examples of how they used it with their data model? For example this article mentions "With appropriate logic (set unions, timestamps, etc) it is easy to resolve t

Redis can only perform asynchronous replication because it uses a single thread. It cannot block the main thread waiting for the network and have acceptable performance. This makes replication as good as "appendfsync no" as you have no gu

That's not quite what I'm trying to stay. OP's expectation was that Linode should have unlimited liability where no guarantee on their part has been made. If you expect Linode to take on the risk then you would want (and probably need) that

If you put $12k of value on their service, why do they take on that risk? Why wouldn't the risk fall squarely on your shoulders? Why would a hosting provider take on the liability of what you host on it? If the underlying filesystem had an

OVH put brand new disks in every server sold. They also do remarkably well: out of the thousands I've had from Leaseweb and OVH, OVH wins hands down.

Another good one (from someone who worked at Amazon) is Pat Helland's "Life beyond Distributed Transactions: an Apostate’s Opinion" which details more generally how a system might work without a global transactions. Part of which boils down
