Following members still have missing posts for April.  Gentle reminder.  April only has 30 days.  So tomorrow is the last day.  Looks like @sohamb03 will have to do his marathon run again with bulk quality posts. Since we are running short of quality VPSs his VPS would be much sought after.

VPS Holders with missing posts:
NONE!  Thanks to all the VPS Holders for completing their number of posts!  

As per usual and for those who aren't in the know.  The missing posts rule is strictly enforced by @Dynamo.  Posts have to be made before the end of the last day of the month GMT time.  Failing which the VPS will be powered down.  If you still want to keep the VPS you will have the opportunity to reapply during the Giveaway that immediately follows after the penalty.  Provided you have 100 credit points spare, your Forum account and VPS Holder eligibility are in good standing, and you have applied for the VPS, your VPS will be returned to you in the same condition as it was before it was powered down.  Please note that should you choose to "dump" the VPS (without prior notification) and then return in a few months or years time and apply for a VPS, this will still be remembered and the penalty will still apply.

I have been a long-time user of Google Chrome and I have noticed slowness and a bit of freezing for a while now. It has happened in Windows 7 and It still happens in Windows 10. It doesn't freeze anymore but slowness is still there. Now You get Mircosoft Edge long with Windows 10 and I noticed it's faster and works pretty well. It's definitely by miles improved over old Internet Explorer. Also, they have plugins and pretty must most of the stuff you have in the Chrome app store.

Anyone here uses MS Edge for a while? How's your experience?

Sad news indeed.  Our much treasured VPS 14 from Bladenode has been cancelled with effect of the end of April.  Bladenode is experiencing high demand and needs the space.  @phoenixwolfowever says that should an opportunity arise in future, that he may be able to provide us with a VPS again.  This is good news indeed.

We would like to extend our warm appreciation to Bladenode and to Phoenix for the excellent VPS we were able to use for a few months.  We also wish to thank him for his excellent support during that period of time.  

Wishing Bladenode everything of the best.  And a speedy return in future, if and when an opportunity presents itself again.  Hopefully we will still see you in the Forum Phoenix.  Your participation is always appreciated.

I just got to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. For a long time I have been looking for forums related to free web hosting, but the truth is that it is difficult to find any interesting one.

I found this forum in the search engine, and when I saw it I thought: "I think I could learn a lot here and maybe find a good web host as well".

I am very interested in learning, and I hope at some point I can contribute something to this community.

Many regards to everybody.

YEP... if you own a NVIDIA GPU and you use Virtual Machines it is very probably that you meet this error. If not, don't worry I will explain what it mean.

Do you know what is a virtual machine? No?
Well, you can think about as a sandbox, you can run a Operation System inside that sandbox and do whatever you want, like dangerous experiements without damaging your real Operation System. IT PROTECTS YOUR OPERATION SYSTEM, NOT YOU. IF YOU DO SOMETHING DANGEROUS/ILLEGAL INSIDE A VIRTUAL MACHINE... YOU ARE STILL TRACKABLE.

So let's immagine you are running a virtual machine, for this example you have a Linux Machine and you are running a Windows VM, and you want to do a GPU-intensive workload such as gaming (Linux Host that doesn't work well with wine) or video rendering (using specific software such as Premiere PRo).

You will soon discover that you can passthrough your GPU, while installing the NVIDIA drivers or on device manager you will see the "Error 43" and the gpu-device shutdown. What doesn't mean passthrough? Well, you are linking your GPU to the VM so it can use the video card full power.

NVIDIA on the past introduced a check on their CONSUMER products to block this features because they wanted it exclusively for their enterprise cards such as QUADRO.

BUT: Recently NVIDIA announced the enabling of this feature again on our consumer cards on the newest beta drivers!

NVIDIA BLESSING
Should we be happy? I mean this feature was already there and blocked at once on the past... so we are just receiving back what we had.

What do you think?

I know that this news is a bit old, 4 days ago, but I touches me at the core and I wanted to write about it.
If you didn't read it, don't worry I will provide a "offensive-less" summary of what the researchers of Minnesota tried to do.

On 21 April 2021 an email from Greg Kroah-Hartman announced his decision to ban University of Minnesota from the Linux development contributors and the revert their commits (= nullify all their code changes). The researchers tried to intentionally insert bugs in an unauthorised Penetration test to perform an experiement described on one of their scientific article... THEY COULD HAVE AFFECTED YOUR SECURITY. 

These ***** researcher just used the trust of the open source community to just to perform a dangerous experiment to boost their own paper-career. It is disgusting.
We should thanks the numerous reviewers who protect us by inspecting the code.

I will stop here my personal summary because I could use a offensive tone, so I would just append the "polite" email from Greg Kroah-Hartman:


What do you think about it?
The open source community is always friendly and open minded to new and senior contributor, but these reseachers just decided on their own to do something so dangerous that could have been affected our daily usage devices.

I need to change URL of a forum from www. Website to www. website/forum/.  I think I should do it by changing  'bburl'  file /inc/settings.php. But I don't remember if there anything else. Maybe something in Admin control panel too?

Hi friends, I had a few questions.
What is the best VPS Anti attack and Website anti ddos (free) and how can I get it, does it need a visa card or is it completely free?
Please share the sites that offer this package for free. Thank you

As the title suggest this thread's goal is to track the vaccination status of the Post4VPS community. The poll has 4 exclusive options and you're invited to select the one that applies to you:
> 1- Fully vaccinated (2 shots)
> 2- Vaccinated (1 dose)
> 3- Not vaccinated but willing to get vaxxed and waiting my turn
> 4- Not vaccinated and not intending to get vaxxed!

In case you're vaccinated, can you please specify which vaccine did you get in your post.

Thanks!

For me, I'm fully vaccinated with the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

NB : The poll is public(/not anonymous.)

Instafree is a free hosting provider, but with very strict rules that they pay attention to and in my view I think the administrator is a big racist, he bans approximately 47 countries worldwide and he also slowly adds more, I think if you want a good hosting you should give everyone access instead of banning 47 countries, I honestly think they are a bunch of racists! As if all foreigners abuse everything, sure, in every country there are people who like to abuse everything, so I had a member of Post4VPS who did that to me and had broken the rules and I got a report from RSA about his domain, later he wanted to use a reseller and I rocked that because he also abused the place last time but that makes no reason to ban the whole country, because the administrator Bryan claims that in America there are no abusers on his server, well Bryan is himself as blind and dumb as a baboon's buttocks, in America you have a lot of abusers and he won't admit that, but anyway. Currently they are going to replace cPanel with DirectAdmin but when is unknown, but watch out if you use them, if you want a reseller and you are in their list you could buy it from me, but here are the specifications of the server.
