(Quote) Correct me if I'm wrong, but HostBill system requirements look rather standard, i.e. should work on a basic shared/reseller hosting stack. VPS makes sense if you need some "exotic" system setup. In terms of power, I don't think VP…
-
(Quote) I agree. It's just worth noting: Check your hardware resource needs. Some reseller hosting providers allow you to tune those (Brixly, HostMantis, KnownHost and MDDHosting as of recently - to note a few). Others have set limits per a created…
-
(Quote) Good points. Still, I don't like being "that guy" if you understand what I mean (I don't mean, nor imply the OP).
-
(Quote) I think that's good. It can be argued that this allows for better resource usage - closer to optimal. For example: I can create accounts on my reseller hosting, providing say 5 GB of storage for each (overselling practically). That provides…
-
(Quote) Twitter is censored, that's a fact. That's a dangerous thing to do with what is in practice and in fact a public service (privately owned, but public nonetheless). For example, I think abortion should be legal, while 16-spoked bike wheels s…

(Quote) Yup. :( It makes perfect sense in capitalism to force us to get new PSUs (and computer cases for that matter, though for now that part is still not inevitable, ATX 3.0 should fit the existing housings). I expect the new standard to not re…

(Quote) More power - sure, I guess. But the way it seems to be implemented - doesn't sound promising, as in "not problem-prone." If the article is correct.

Still suspended (LOL): https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump Nothing to see, carry on... :)

(Quote) I thought they be payin' you!? They ought to! :)
-
(Quote) I've tried a few other options, and in terms of uptime no one was better (so far), while regarding performance, Brixly was just a tad better (but had some other hiccups so it's not a good match for me). Tried even some more expensive option…

(Quote) I'm interested in finding a good alternative. DirectAdmin reseller hosting, preferably UK, or US-East coast location.

If it's of any help, this is my advertising and guest-posting policy: https://bike.bikegremlin.com/links-to-your-website-and-advertising/ It's allowed me to remain as independent and as objective as possible, without preventing me from accepting an…

Our local cycling forum has a "points" system (pluses, like likes). A vast majority of people with a lot of points are long-time members, knowledgeable and experienced. For new members, I suppose it gives some idea when asking for help o…

(Quote) We'll see. Doesn't fit my long-term plans for now. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK4Q9J01FQs
-
(Quote) Yup - exactly. www. and the naked domain should redirect to forum. or something similar. Preferably with a 302, in case you make other stuff with the domain. I'm not very smart, it's just that I've been there, made that mistake. :) As fa…
-
(Quote) Yup, ditching WP makes sense. Just - the naked domain is potentially less flexible IMO. If forum is going to be it, I'd still suggest making it www. Though, I think it's even better to have a www. landing page with a link, or a (302/301) r…
-
I'd suggest making the forum on either www, or forum. subdomain. And installing WP on a separate (sub)domain (though, if I got it right, you ditched the WP and use forum for that now?). More sturdy in the long run. Redirects are working fine so far…

(Quote) Using Linux Mint mostly. But yes, later Windows versions do have that sorted out quite decently out of the box if memory serves me correctly. Never used Mac - it's for the (wanna be) rich people. :)

For me, f.lux beats any dark mode and similar (tastes and eyes differ, so your preference may not be the same): https://justgetflux.com/

(Quote) To make matters even more complicated: even with a written request/boss-order/legal-dept.-approval, you may not be legally allowed to infringe a person's privacy - double-check with a competent lawyer.
-
(Quote) I see. Yes, makes sense. Even though the problems did occur after an update (i.e. I haven't changed anything else), sometimes it helps re-checking all the settings and excluding stuff from caching. Will see what LS support says (if anything,…
-
(Quote) Where, how? Edit: what are the consequences of that choice?
-
I'm using Windscribe - it works fine for what I need which is geoblocking avoidance, auto-redirect avoidance and static IP service, so nothing privacy-related :) - not that I think Windscribe is any worse in terms of privacy compared to most other…

Thanks for the heads up... fake @deank :)

If you make a summer host, please name it "Donna!" :) And make your own Linux distro for the servers, calling it the "Queen of" distro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCtDAAPO-j4 ...there are three kinds of people in this wo…

(Quote) That was expected. @Mason is a marketing genius. In this case, he used some reversed psychology with a survey as a bait call for action... This forum is going places, le' me tell ya! :)

(Quote) It's usually at the bottom. (Image)
-
(Quote) Is it not normal for a person to support their country? Would they deserve kicking if they supported it? Should the same system be applied whenever one country attacks another country ("even" if it's the USA)? :)

WordPress.com - hands down N01 in terms of uptime and stability. Not my choice for the lack of freedom and prices, but hard to beat in terms of uptime. HostMantis comes second, of those I've used and tested. No idea whether their VPS hosting is any…

For those using a mobile phone with these, they are more mobile-friendly. So there's always a bright side. :)
