So the only difference between lolroot.ca and cacert.org is that one wants to be taken seriously?
(Re: up_the_irons's tweet just now)
no idea
brycec: btw, your ticket didn't get lost, i was just mildly sick for the last couple days; i'm going to work on it now
Personally I pimp startssl for free, reputable certs.
Ah thanks up_the_irons and sorry to hear you were sick.
i think cacert didn't publish their private key...
LIke I said ant, one wants to be taken seriously ;P
np :)
brycec: good point
Issuer: C=US, ST=CA, L=LOLCA, O=lolroot.ca, OU=lolroot.ca, CN=lolroot.ca/emailAddress=admin@lolroot.ca
lol
"The world's first self-signed cert authority." Not to nitpick (or rather to nitpick), but they're all self-signed. That's what a CA is.
well, i think they mean authority for self-signed certs (which doesn't make sense either)
I like how their website doesn't even use their cert.
why should it? You'd just get an "unrecognized ca" error :p
Instead I get wrong site, it's signed for *.snorby.org
brycec: not if you properly installed their root cert as trusted (which i strongly recommend ;)
lolololol
would anyone be interested in a dedi server with these specs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Poweredge-C1100-1U-2X-XEON-QC-L5520-2-26GHZ-NO-HDD-72GB-DDR3-Tested-/261274072295?
i'd pop in a 1TB SATA or 120GB SSD
i'd ask like $200 / mo
72GB of RAM!
brb
I can only wish I could afford that. kindof pointed that out hoping it would help your virtualization offering remain cost effective, but dedi servers can be nice too ;-)
wonder how loud those buggers are
toddf: yes, i think i understood that, but i find it more straightforward and quicker to sell as dedi's if there are any takers
avj: i bet very loud :)
wtf
1000 units available?
srsly
where the hell are they pulling those from, alphared?
(that is a joke btw)
lol
up_the_irons: do you see a lot of dedicated server customers these days? seems like there aren't a lot of reasons left not to virtualize
_elf: actually yeah, there's still a big market for it.  some want the autonomy of a "house" rather than shared tenancy of an "apartment"
happy dance.  Very last credit card is PAID OFF
right although a private virtualization solution might also fit the bill there and give them management benefits
no revolving debt!
used to be that virtualization didn't do disk I/O well (mostly for lack of scheduling) but that is less and less true; you see some pretty high IOPS stuff being virtualized these days
_elf: well nothing is stopping someone from getting a dedi and using it for virtualization :)  i suspect most do these days
RandalSchwartz: congrats :)
ah I see
up_the_irons: i use my dedi for virt :V
a looot of virt
:)
hey up_the_irons ever plan on taking paypal
have a customer or two but they seem to be pp only
seems really fraud prone, and lots of dubious stuff around freezing accounts/funds for recipients
i want to take it one day but fraud is a problem
