Yeah, something in that!!

Very useful piece. Thanks. :-)

Yes, have used both - TestDisk and PhotoRec (CentOS) extensively and both work like a charm.

Everest: The Unclimbed Ridge by Sir Chris Bonington and Charles Clarke [1] - then story of an individual failed attempt. Very enlightening and a great read imo.

Try this:

# curl -O http://vestacp.com/pub/vst-install.sh

# bash vst-install.sh

My bad - I was typing from memory (that I thought was accurate ;-)). Thanks for catching/correcting.

I recall Digital Ocean lets you whip up a 1-click VM instance with OwnCloud all setup and ready to go.

As an alternative, you can just:

# curl -O http://vestacp.com/vst-install.sh # bash vst-install.sh

which would setup the entire LEMP stack for you (along with a full-featured, minimalist hosting admin panel) and then you can install any of the available file sharing tools.

> They usually come in hordes and attack any content against Modi on the web usually by unethical tactics like questioning your character/love for country, down-voting, mass reporting, abusing and general trolling - whatever it takes to shut the critics up.

This. And to add a bit, it is a little-kept secret that many/most are paid workers, hired to carry out those activities.

Age-old RSS modus operandi - when you can't argue a point, try to drive away from it, by bringing up a quasi-related nationalist issue.

And thus, a Modi bhakt is revealed. For those not from India, one of the standard characteristics of a dyed-in-the-wool Modi bhakt (devotee) is that the moment you say something against him (Modi), you are an anti-national.

For the sake of historical accuracy, he was a 'persona non grata' not just in the US but also in some 27 EU member countries and in several other countries around the world:

> India is so big that centralization of power is impossible. But thats what is needed right now.

Sounds scary beyond description.

> We need to be yanked into 21St century. Only way to that is through charisma

So, getting 'yanked into 21st century' (whatever that is supposed to mean) would magically wipe out all the problems of the country (using charisma as a wand) - is that what you're saying?

Care to explain how? His highest priorities appear to be 1) to bolster his ego and 2) to gain more popularity/consolidate his political position (usually with cheap-ish speeches, stunts, gimmicks etc.) while everything else takes a backseat. Seriously doubt if that is good for India.

Truer words were seldom written!!

Thanks for your feedback. Actually, I'm not the one who is offering this. WebPub is a startup launched by a group of seasoned IT entrepreneurs with a combined industry experience of 70+ years. (I am a consultant there.)

The company is adequately funded with multiple revenue streams planned for the long run.

Nothing? Nothing at all?

Thanks but I'm afraid this is not the one I'm after. That one shows a sort-of bird's eye view of the entire roundabout, with several roads leading out, with individual signboards (white on green) for each road, showing the country name.

>Sure there are sites like Upwork or Freelancer, but they limit the amount of jobs that you can bid for.

Yes, bid limits are there but you can pay a (very) small amount to get a (much) higher number of bids. At Freelancer.com, it is something like <$10/mo. for 300 bids. I have also found PeoplePerHour.com [1] to be a good market place. Over there, after the free bids, it is more expensive to buy additional bids but I've found the overall quality/mix of buyers to be at least somewhat better comparatively.

AFAIK, all credit cards should work directly - whether company or personal. So far as debit cards are concerned, to the best of my knowledge, such cards are issued to company/business accounts ONLY if the business is a sole proprietor type. If there are multiple people operating a business account, no debit cards are issued. Thus, a business account debit card is essentially the same as that of a personal account.

HTH

>It is amazingly hard to get any information from anyone on this topic.

Truer words have seldom been written before.

What you might find even more amazing is the fact that almost ALL bank staffers are equally ignorant/in the dark about online/international payments. Case in point: I have had a Corporation Bank account of which the debit card just wouldn't work for online payments. Sometime ago, a niece opened an account with them (at a different branch). Shortly afterwards, she needed to make an international payment. On checking with the branch, she was told it (the debit card) wouldn't work. She thought of trying anyway and guess what - it DID work!! On coming to know this, I asked my branch - they said no idea. Next, I asked her branch - the same answer. I had also had a similar experience with ICICI bank debit card, that wouldn't work. After a good bit of struggle calling back and forth and personal visits to the branch, I learnt that their older debit cards won't work, but they do have a newer 'Chip and Pin' version that would work. After getting this (new) card, I've been able to use it without a problem (with 2FA).

HTH

>I remember reading about this in Reader's Digest...

Yes, that is where I had first read about it too. Don't remember exactly, but probably under the section called Drama in Real Life.

The ones I've been using (as mentioned in my previous comment) are all personal cards, both credit and debit. While I don't have any first-hand info on business cards vis-a-vis international payments, I believe they should work the same way as the personal ones.

Based on my first-hand experience:

1. Credit cards issued by ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and AXIX Bank work directly for international payments (been using all 3 for over a decade now)

2. ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank Debit cards also work for international payments, but not by default. The card holder has to call up the bank to activate international payment facility - a quick and simple process.

Let me know if there is any other specific info that I can provide.

HTH.

Yes!! :-)

Yes, even the TOS before downloading the package says:

Has it been HN'ed or what?

CentOS 6.7 and FireFox 45.5.0 here. I do get to the terminal screen, but just the header, footer and a large white block in between. No terminal, no prompt, no cursor. Tried typing some random commands, but no joy.

In the footer, shows:

Status Connected

Time remaining 53 minutes, 52 seconds

etc.

Same here, on CentOS 7.

Bravo!!!

Yes, count me in too!!
