Grid Webhosting by Media Temple!






I have been looking for an alternative against my Lycos site. I have my website hosted there. Well MediaTemple offers some real cool stuff for $20 a month! I pay , hang on how much do I pay?

Well 17.50 for
  • I have 4 MySQL databases
  • 4G diskspace
  • 40G monthly transfer
  • And some goodies
And what does Grid Server (which I saw on Techcrunch today) has to offer?
  • 100 GBs of premium storage
  • 1 TB of short-path bandwidth
  • Host up to 100 individual sites
  • 64 MB Ruby/Mongrel container
  • All of the features below, and more...
That is 2 euros less than what I pay and 20 times more disk space and 25 times more data transfer!

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges.

As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op
