On IPs and Reverse DNS records
With my current setup, I have more IP addresses than I need, and despite most services having two IPv4 addresses, with proper RDNS records, I still have about 100 IPs with no usage. My initial thought was to rent them out to people who need them, but the question is how! Even if I
Weekly Update 3: New servers means more fun!
As the week started, I decided it was time to retire a few old servers, and sell them on Kijiji. After 24 hours of posting on Kijiji, I was able to sell and retire two older servers. As you know, when one server retires, another must take its place -- so let me introduce

Out in the woods
It's been a stressful week, and it's always nice sitting in the woods, enjoying nature and working hard. As time has gone by, I've came to appreciate the woods, nature and find it relaxing. There's no city lights, there's clean air, tons of trees and makes for the perfect place to sit back
