    Using mouse, keyboard & monitor over lan -- Is it possible?

    If you're just a home user teamviewer is free and probably the best: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/windows/ I prefer setting up a VPN and using Remote Desktop built into windows, assuming the computer you are connecting to is a Pro version of Windows.

    Good, Cheap VPS Hosting for Total Newbie

    Check out this too for managing a "headless" server: http://centminmod.com/ Though I believe it doesn't run on Debian/Ubuntu. You would have to use CentOS - I think the guy that develops it (@eva2000) posts here. Linode is a great VPS provider - I've been with them for years with minimal issues.

    Loving my SSD, how do I clone my Windows install on to it?

    Did you buy a Samsung SSD? If so, they include cloning (data migration) software for their SSDs: http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools.html If not, you could use something like Macrium Reflect (you should definitely look at some youtube videos before going this route...

    Anandtech migrating to XenForo

    They really need to shrink down the top banner - talk about wasted space. The sidebar on every page is also aggravating.

    What is the Fastest shared or vps hosting for under $45 a month?

    Linode or Digital Ocean - Linode just bumped their $10/month plan to 2GB a few days ago. No, you don't get a cpanel. Completely barebones. Look into this for an option: http://centminmod.com/ - I've never used it but have heard good things about it. Linode's library is also a good guide...

    XF 1.5 Custom BB Code with file extension

    The {$id} only in the embed HTML field did it. So the end result is: Match URL: http://i.imgur.com/{$id:alphanum}.gifv https://i.imgur.com/{$id:alphanum}.gifv Embed HTML: <video poster="https://i.imgur.com/{$id}.jpg" preload="auto" autoplay="autoplay" muted="muted" loop="loop"...

    XF 1.5 Custom BB Code with file extension

    I'm having an issue trying to implement a custom media bbcode to allow folks to directly load animations from the website imgur when the URL ends in .gifv. I am aware there is an add-on that does this - but I do not want to install an add-on to accomplish this. I created the following: Match...

    So with Mandrill going premium, what are some alternatives?

    I went with SendGrid - setup wasn't hard and I easily fit into the 12k emails per month free plan limit.

    So with Mandrill going premium, what are some alternatives?

    Just got this blog post in an email: http://blog.mandrill.com/important-changes-to-mandrill.html Amazon SES maybe, I know if your volume is low enough they may not even charge your card.

    Free SSL/TLS Certificate Authority

    Sorry if my sarcasm detector is broken - but if not... I wonder why? Surely it can't be due to the fact that it is a dead operating system that had support for over 12 years before Microsoft pulled the plug! I understand legacy applications exist in many environments, but continuing to navigate...

    Have ads ruined the internet?

    If ads are "ruining" the internet for you, I suggest something like this: Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ Safari...

    Which Antivirus?

    Have you tried the new version? I wasn't happy with the changes - I enjoyed the windows gui based console. Wasn't happy to see them move to a web based management. Also wants SQL express installed - or run it in their supplied virtual machine image.

    OpenBSD 5.7: Free, functional and secure

    Why that instead of something like Debian or CentOS? (Or even Ubuntu)

    Which Antivirus?

    We roll out ESET for our business clients - the centralized management console is very good and detection rates have proven to be excellent. It also has a very nice linux based boot image you can use to clean up an infected PC without actually booting into windows. It has teamviewer built in, so...

    Hosting prices

    For managed that seems very cheap. For unmanaged it isn't terrible. Check out these prices: https://www.linode.com/pricing https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/ https://www.ramnode.com/index.php Note that all of the above are unmanaged. Linode offers managed services, but they charge $100 per...
