shimon_e··on PHPMailer Exploit – Remote Code Execution
It's not been patched yet.

Edit: Seems like another exploit found 8 hours ago: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/issues/924

Probably wise to disable phpmailer on your servers for now.

You are ruling out providers like OVH because lack of sufficient SLA but then you are replacing it with your own solution that will have no SLA.

Lower your SLA requirements and go with multiple providers like OVH. Make your site work at multi datacenters. At the end of the day your users will be much happier.

My 2 cents.

shimon_e··on Reddit’s CEO edited comments that criticized him
Thus my point you need to claim false basis if you have reviewed the source material and determined it is false. You can't claim no basis if you are just going to ignore what the other side is presenting.
shimon_e··on Reddit’s CEO edited comments that criticized him
Ton of source material. OP can't argue on no basis. Maybe false basis but not no basis. I haven't look at the source material for more than 30 seconds - so I can't be any judge of it.
shimon_e··on Reasons not to use Uber
From the sounds of it a Trump Presidency would be for removing red tape that effects Airbnb but against the dumping practices that Uber does.

There are a lot of talk that Trump is going to break up some of the Silicon Valley companies up. Especially the ones who don't care about American jobs.

Peter Thiel seems to be the polar opposite to a majority of Facebook's board. Not to say you don't have a point.
shimon_e··on Claims that China's Transit Elevated Bus Is a Scam
Chinese media is a scam. This is probably also a scam but the Chinese media is only reporting it as such because someone refused to pay them off.

The last trains on line 2 are really fast as they skip most stops. Also really noisy as the trains are going well above their usual speed.

I think he is taking Trump's POV that it shouldn't even be discussed by either side and whole thing is stupid.
shimon_e··on [dead]
Donald Trump Jr went onto Morning Joe and said he never said something that stupid.

Edit: He said on Morning Joe that Trump Sr was not part of this conversation and his head would be rolling for suggesting such a deal. What makes you think this is Trump Sr's style? From what I can see from his campaign he is very hard working. Always willing to give media reports and has very rapid response times. He responded to Nice within 8 minutes.

If anything hiring someone else to do the job seems to be Hillary's style. She always has surrogates speaking to the media. Trump isn't afraid of defending his position to highly critical media. Its something that even his critics admire.

No matter if you are a Trump support or hate. There are definitely things you can admire about Trump's character.

The president makes judgement calls not the VP. If you have bad judgement as the president you have no hope. Plus the opposition's job is to disagree with the government when they are wrong.

Use their VPS. Not oversold. Latest CPU. ECC RAM. RAID storage. Was $3/m with their 30% off promo recently. Put a single service on a single VPS. Order a few extra. Will make testing things much easier.

shimon_e··on OVH: PaaS DB PostgreSQL
I got an email survey from OVH for an Asia / Australian DC a few weeks ago.
shimon_e··on OVH: PaaS DB PostgreSQL
The VPS isn't fault tolerant or managed. I am assuming this is? I actually asked them on IRC if they could launch MySQL, PSQL aaS less than a month ago. Turn around from the RunAbove team has been super fast.
