(Quote) Anything where the source code is readily available to anyone looking for it is open source. Yes, linux is opensource. Almost all projects on github is also considered opensource. Windows is not open source as you dont have access to the so…

(Quote) Well, raspberry pi's are way to pricey now a days due to scalping. Maybe that's why? I mean I was looking to up my collection as well, but cant buy now :disappointed:
-
(Quote) That's the question I asked. Lifetime of what? Hardware? User? ZAP hosting? Owner? A random housefly? :lol:
-
(Quote) FYI, you can always just click the tanks button bellow the username instead of a comment to just say thanks. Ofcourse it's ok to comment if you have some other comments or questions
-
(Quote) Cause the server was wiped and OS was reinstalled, so the server signature changed. Yes, your data is gone. No, you are requried to keep own backups. (Quote) The server itself is free and open to people. So having a small limitations like o…

(Quote) Is that supposed to be @FrankZ ?

@Not_Oles forgot to mention, but please ensure that apache is not running as "root". It should be running as user "www-data" and group "www-data", otherwise certain scripts can be used to get shell access to the server …

(Quote) Ok... did not consider that... even though I myself have used virtual numbers with skype to reduce costs of overseas calls... I guess I never used it with SMS so that's why that didn't even cross my mind. So what kind of verificat…

(Quote) In that case, why not defer the access to KVM and/or sudo unless the user provides personal identifications? That way you can either provide the info to immediately get access or wait for it while gaining trust through other means?
-
(Quote) In that case, you need to define a vhost (virutal host). Create a new file: /etc/apache2/sites-available/all_user_directory.conf And edit it as so: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName placeholdername ServerAlias *.example.com Vir…

(Quote) A better link with guide: https://geekrewind.com/setup-apache2-userdir-module-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts-servers/ Also, do note that you can enable it for specific users like so in your /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf file UserDir disabl…

(Quote) 100% support this. Since the server is given out for free for educational and knowledge sharing purpose, opensource is the way to go. You also dont have to deal with licensing issues (although some opensource software do require licenses for…

(Quote) Soon, not yet. @Not_Oles could you also setup a donation box? Not saying you need it, but it'll help people donate to the project and also help you in the long run.
-
(Quote) I think show of identity can be done via social media as well. Facebook/Linkedin/Twitter etc is a good way to verify their identity to some extent. Apps that require a phone number like Telegram and Whatsapp are also good options. (Quote) W…

(Quote) We do not promote scamming. We only enjoy popcorn when they get scammed and complain about it. (Quote) No. Neither is US or any first world country with a strong copyright law. But as long as they dont find you, well.... Moreover, with pri…
-
(Quote) In that case you should not even be on the internet. If you want to rent server from ANY provider, you will need to disclose your full name, address and phone number. So why are you on LES? Dont take it the wrong way but I'm just sayin…
-
(Quote) The list would be too long and people will avoid reading it. I guess can make a short and simple list or link to content maybe? Dunno how this will work (Quote) What happened to number 2? :p Anyway, telegram group is a great idea. (Quote)…

(Quote) Hello police? Yes, this post right here.

(Quote) What do you people have against cats?!?
-
(Quote) Just sign up for a temp email service if you really care. Or a email forwarder service. Once done, delete it.
-
(Quote) +1 Great way to show that you care, however you should post the info on the original website/social media for those who checks.
-
(Quote) Plenty of those available online though. Specially people bragging on social media about something.
-
(Quote) Not for teachers. If it's for educational purpose, ask the prof to help send the email.
-
(Quote) Ya, cause it's easier to hide it inside a KVM with disk encryption then running it openly for everyone to see. Most port scanning programs run on windows (while there are a few scripts for linux, they are less popular). They also have a…
-
(Quote) Well, I did not know that. I guess those who have good intentions have nothing to hide. (Quote) Lets just say that the servers I setup and provided free hosting to users were used as torrent seedboxes. This used up the bandwidth very quickl…
-
(Quote) No, I'm not sure. Because I only posted the KVM users there. Not ALL users. Generally abuse comes from a KVM server rather then a naked script running on the server itself, but it is always different. A full ps aux would give a full res…
-
(Quote) A great way to set the price of dedicated server is to imagine buying the hardware and dividing that price by 6. Then add the price of internet in your desired location. That will give you a ballpark figure of what it'll cost you. I wou…
-
(Quote) Sorry about that. This just brings back old memories of the time I was providing free hosting. I was not serious about personal identification. It's just a pipe dream. No one will provide such personal info to another individual on a f…

(Quote) Question is why? And if he truly says who he is, he should be willing to provide documents to back up his claim. He is expecting premium service FOR FREE. When you sign up with AWS, Google, Oracle, you have to provide your email, home addres…
-
(Quote) The way I see it, you got two choices IF you want the MetalVPS. Either provide personal Id for verification or pay a reputable provider. You can always NOT get a server. It'll save you on the internet bills and phone bills as well. All…
-
(Quote) Well, then you should not look for free services on less renounced websites run by Clueless people. Sign up with Oracle for free lifetime account, GoogleCloud for 1 year free, AWS for 1 free year. All are free. Enjoy.
-
(Quote) So why are you on this forum? Why the interest in low end servers? Either way, you registered 2 days ago. So unless you are willing to provide personal documents for verification, I would strongly advice @Not_Oles to only allow those with a…
-
(Quote) I guess they are a bad service provider but not out to scam you. You get what you paid for and they maintain the minimum service level. So they are still heaps better then pump and dump type providers.
-
(Quote) As I read your post, I was thinking from the start about how this is a bad idea. Firstly, in your basement, you share the servers with people you know and meet in real life. You know who they are, their habits, their home and family. So trus…

(Quote) Yes, the movie was great! Wait, you were taking about the movie right? Cause I can't think of you saying monetary loss and data loss to be great.
-
(Quote) If you have the option, use the Arm VMs. They come with 4 cores and 24GB of ram that you can split up or use as 1 big VM.
-
(Quote) Disable KVM/qemu so no windows. If they want to build windows, their personal computer shall suffice. Or only allow it for fully verified accounts that have been using metal vps for a number of months. LXC containers share their directory s…
-
(Quote) Unfortunately I agree with you there. If you don't have money or not able to get a laptop, what are you doing on a forum about spending money on cheap vps? I am not saying that he is lying, but I have seen a lot of people who say "…
