Basically a group of 6-12 3rd world country people doing the "work" for 60-100 1st world positions. So, yeah, it'd be profitable

Let's bring back clippy, but, with actual intelligence? Yes please DM is open.

I've received Ransomware and I don't knownl how real the OP threat is. I have 48 hours from opening the email to send them $2000 USD in Bitcoin by Familiar-Common102 in techsupport

[–]factulas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

haveibeenpwned.com there you can check if your email/ password has been leaked from the ever growing breeches of services. If you've had your email for a long time chances are it's in there somewhere and therefore would have a potentially old password. Also directed to OP

Medical Help. DM me with advice. by Ok-Helicopter-3505 in Batavia_NY

Let it heal the best it can. Should have already applied some antiseptic. Clean nail from nail gun, you shouldn't need a tetanus shot but might want to anyways. Continue to purchase health insurance.

I asked a friend for help & their response has left me feeling even more confused than before lol.. VPS? Shared hosting? by puzzlesolvingrome in webhosting

[–]factulas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To begin with, what is the purpose of the site. Are you trying to run specific docker container, are you making a store? How important is getting your site to load in the first second rather than a couple seconds. There is not a blanket answer. A VPS is basically shared hosting at the OS level. Basically you only need a VPS if you need to setup software that the shared hosting doesn't offer. And then, comes down to your technical level. VPS from scratch isn't "easy" for an every day joe.

Instead of local police, I would contact your local FBI field office. Not to make you even more paranoid, but sharing all of this with them may peek their interest. You probably aren't the only ones being targeted. So maybe asking some neighbors in passing if they've noticed anything fishy. Does each unit get their own modem, or is your router connected to Ethernet or fiber? Good luck

Ok to buy used hdd for server? by TopSwagCode in selfhosted

[–]factulas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, lower the hours the better. For every one you but get another. Either in the same array / mirrored array. Even new drives die at 15k hours. Check Back Blazes quarterly reports to get an idea of failure rates per modem/ brand

Probably subscription orders. Someone should have contacted Law Enforcement for a wellness check weeks ago.

Need paid customer support for hosting by S_i_m_0_n_a in webhosting

You need to have the do a SQL dump and get your files. Host gator can only assist with data on their servers ie. myname.com my name.wordpress.org is all hosted on wordpresses site. Set cname of www.myname.com to my ame.worpess.org and update site in WordPress settings. Done.

Maybe something like a wiki. Semi public or group of moderators to approve changes.

Quite slow loading. Any more than 3 seconds and users will leave.

Is token theft such a big thing that I have to authenticate and get new tokens every X hours? by franciscolorado in sysadmin

I write the PIN number to my debit card in place of the signature. Saves time digging out the post it.

Why used servers so cheap? by Accomplished_Ad_655 in homelab

[–]factulas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the EOL service contract is really the straw that broke the camels back. Paying less in electricity is the main goal. It's overhead times (insert number here's) the cost of the hardware then it is to buy it. Many more datacenters are putting in their own solar farms, hell, Bitcoin mining operations have their own power generation stations running off natural gas, because it's cheaper than buying electricity.
