    Help with Cloudflare and VPSSIM on CentOS 7

    I'm in the process of setting up a vps and I want to move multiple domains to the VPS (soem are mine and some are sites hosted for friends). The VPS is based in US. I've found recently with locally hosted sites hosted with Afrihost / JCW and others, that the sites are becoming incredibly slow...

    Durbanville ADSL Research: Request assistance

    I have been struggling for two years to get my line speed upgraded to 10Mbps or faster, but my exchange does not support 10Mbps. I live in Durbanville in an area with a high density (many housing estates). There are many people struggling to either get DSL or to get decent quality DSL. I'm...

    A comedyof incompetence at Afrihost

    Shortly after moving from MWEB to AH I get this call from AH saying that my line had been upgraded to 10Mbps and that they have automatically upgraded my line for me. I now had to upgrade my DSL acct to receive the faster speeds. So I said they could go ahead and increase the package to 10Mbps...

    Chromecast vs Raspberry Pi

    Trying to think of reasons to get use chromecast as opposed to using my RPi / Plex as a media centre, and more importantly, if I should continue recommending RPi or just start punting Chromecast. These are the reasons I can think of to use Chromecast: 1. No HDMI cable required 2. No memory...

    Is there an equivalent of a "Hellkom" like site for Vodacom?

    I'm planning to deploy an Vodacom complaints blog. Does anyone know of one that already exists? Yes, I have googled it but only the usual stuff comes up (Hello Peter, Get Closure, Facebook and MyBB). We need targeted detailed complaints aimed directly at Vodacom. MTN, Cell C and TM to follow...

    Why do we have to put up with pathetic service delivery from Vodacom?

    I know this question has been posted here over and over again. And I know i’m going to get the same stale responses. Some might offer a thought provoking response but others among you will choose to try and be clever by offering some sarcastic, acerbic response. Well don’t. Rather just think...

    Nice article on Android vs iOS / Open vs Closed

    Nice article on S3 vs iPhone 5 http://www.mobilemag.com/2012/12/13/galaxy-s3-versus-iphone-5/ I think the author sums it up quite well. (Well enough to shut me up.) Both phones are great. Each individual will choose whatever suits them best. Each to their own.

    Nice article on Android vs iOS / Open vs Closed

    Aaah. 3 articles all about the same issue, and all on the same phone it appears... (except the neowin article... that phone looks rather enticing actually) Apple have sold 463 phones per minute (in China), and 5 million phones over its launch weekend and the best they can come up with for...

    Nice article on Android vs iOS / Open vs Closed

    You might be right. I might not know what I'm talking about. I read an article that seemed to claim there were models of the S3 that did not include LTE, that appears to be *BS* according to GSMarena. So whatever I was saying on that specific point, I retract and concede, i'm a poepol. Or at...

    Nice article on Android vs iOS / Open vs Closed

    Buddy, we're talking cash prices, not over subsidized contract prices in ZA. Go and find the bill of materials for the iPhone 5 vs the Samsung S3 LTE (and make sure its the LTE, so we compare apples with apples... so to speak) haven't got time to go find it now but its out there. I'll add a...

    Nice article on Android vs iOS / Open vs Closed

    Do you remember a phone called iMate, or something like that. It ran Windows Mobile 5. Trust me. There were NO apps for that phone nor that OS. And that was around the same time the iPhone was launched. I think I must have figured iMate, iPhone, whats the difference, huh Yes, I'm a Dumb@ss...

    Nice article on Android vs iOS / Open vs Closed

    Sorry for the tirade. You sounded a bit android-ish. I'm just tired of people stereotyping apple supporters and ripping into Apple unfairly. Something I do utterly despise about Apple is its international trade relations with its international clients. Seriously they could not care two hoots...

    Nice article on Android vs iOS / Open vs Closed

    Litigious? like Microsoft? Hugely greedy? Like all of us would be if were running the most profitable tech company ever? Expensive? Like any other Tech company. FYI... the iPod is expensive because it quality design. There is STILL nothing that can compete with the iPod. Like wise the iPhone...

    Nice article on Android vs iOS / Open vs Closed

    Well its open. More open than iOS. I... guess? Until you decide you want to use Skyhook and Google says you can't. Then its not so open anymore. I'm not sure if I still understand who is more open. iOS or Android. How 'bout you? Apples never really told me I can't use a certain app to ensure...
