All the listed TLD's have been delegated and are in the DNS root zone db[1].

Thanks! I'll add custom result count per page to my TODO list.

Thanks. Column sorting is definitely in the works, I quickly hacked this thing out over the last week.

Thanks, I'll fix the "no restrictions" label for the .eu TLD.

But in general, "no restrictions" means there are no rules as to who can register the TLD, or how the registered domain has to be used.

That's correct. Prices for the first iteration of this project is limited to a handful of major registrars[1]. I'll be adding more over the upcoming weeks (suggestions welcome).

Can encbup be used for automated backups? Seems like it's using symmetric encryption, so that the passphrase would need to be entered or passed as an argument on each run.

Not sure if it meets all your requirements, but duplicity [1] has support for asymmetric encryption via gpg pub/priv key pairs.

EDIT: just noticed the article mentioned duplicity as insufficient.

Unfortunately things didn't work out with intovps. They're using OpenVZ (2.6.32 kernel). Apparently it's not possible to run truecrypt on OpenVZ, so I'm going to keep looking for a Xen VPS based provider, starting with http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VirtualPrivateServerProvid....

FYI - I just signed up with these guys to try them out. Here's how it went:

1. Account setup was pretty smooth. I was able to create an account without giving my billing details (unlike Linode). However, when I attempted to pay my invoice via their credit card form, authentication failed (maybe because it was an international payment and my bank freaked?). So I tried again Paypal (yuck), and it worked.

2. I received a some welcome emails, one of which had my intovps account password in plain text. Big warning sign that they might not be hashing passwords in their DB.

3. I opened a ticket about #2, and within minutes got this response:

"We don't store any of the passwords as plain text. Since we've received this complaints before I will talk to my colleagues to no longer send the password as plain text."

So a little more encouraging.

I'll try to post updates as I try out their service.

Thx! This provider looks very promising. Their price for a large instance is roughly half of Linode's price.

From their twitter stuff, LEB has been getting DDOS'd for the last day?

They also make a few references to Linode - how are are/were they using their service?

While twitter bootstrap does help give websites a familiar layout for users (ie. nav starts in top left of header, login/account functionality in top right), I agree that without customization, it's helping to make the visual web more like eating vanilla paste.

I made http://convertunixtimestamp.com/ over the weekend, and I used bootstrap mainly for the responsive design. But I tried to customize it enough so that it wouldn't be recognizable as a bootstrap site.

And I chopped about 85% of it out b/c it just wasn't needed.

I've got a how-to for relaying SMTP mail thru google apps on a CentOS server using postfix here:

I used this to make a utility logging class for bash scripts. It prints nicely formatted messages to the console and/or logfile. The format is similar to Linux boot messages.

It's interesting that US grade school focuses on the Puritans/Pilgrims being persecuted for not being Catholic. I didn't realize they were religious fundamentalists to this extent (from wikipedia):

"They preached the belief that bicycles should be used for utilitarian purposes only and any pleasure derived from cycling was a sin".

> instead of a currency that must be exchanged for goods.

My prediction is the bitcoin market will correct itself, as markets without interference do. Bitcoins are intrinsically worthless, like the USD, unless it can be exchange for goods/services.

> Imagine if the dollar was appreciating in value big time every week and month.

As long as a central banking authority (Federal Reserve) can legally make dollars from thin air, this will never happen.

I agree that circulation of currency/commodities is necessary for a healthy economy. I don't agree that we're better off having value stolen from our currency by inflating it for the sake of "incentive".

How many joe sixpacks actually spend their money as quickly as possible because they're afraid of inflation? Hopefully it never comes to that.

> Deflationary spirals are no fun. $5/gallon of gas and $7/gallon of orange juice are no fun either.

Banks also inflate the money supply using fractional reserve banking, effectively diminishing the value of every other dollar in active currency.

If you think that is honest behavior, then bury all your money for 10 years and then try to spend it. Suprise! You've been robbed.

If I'm not mistaken, there is an eventual limit on the amount of bitcoins that can ever be created.

This is awesome news. Setting up a separate xen kernel for the host domain was always a pain in the butt.
