Volumedrive ran away with the servers and users data

Volumedrive scam

Volumedrive ran away with the servers and users data. Their main website is offline and received a disturbing mail from burst.net regarding the same.

The mail says:

Hello,Unfortunately, due to a recent situation with VolumeDrive, your server is likely currently offline. BurstNET may be able to assist you in the matter, if by chance we still have your server in our possession, or can set you us a rush delivery replacement server.VolumeDrive was scheduled to relocate to our brand new facility here in PA, moved about 20% of their stuff in, put the rest of their stuff in another truck, and never showed up with the remainder at our facility. We tracked them to an office building about 20 miles away, and we assume the rest of the stuff is relocated there, and we saw all their cars and staff outside the building to confirm it. After 24 hours, they do not even have their own website online, so we question whether they will get anything online at all, and how they are going to explain the 300+ servers they left down in our facility with live clients on them.We do have a percentage of the servers they hosted, that they simply left behind, and are more than happy to accommodate you if possible. Even if we do not have the physical server we would be happy to rush build you a new machine and have it online as soon as possible, running in a company that has been in the industry for 23 years, and is not going anywhere soon. The first step in getting your server back online would be opening a ticket to sales@burst.net in which we will provide you with the steps for transferring service to us. We empathize with the inconvenience this has caused you, and want to do whatever we are able to get you, and your end clients/users/visitors, back online as soon as possible.Please contact sales@burst.net ASAP, and we will do our best to assist you in your time of need here…Thank you for your time.

One of my seedbox was down from past few days and i was wondering what could be the reason. Volumedrive is known for providing cheaps servers. Once upon a time BHW forum was hosted there. Its really unfortunate for everyone if they do not comeback. Hard work of so many people is just ruined because of their act. This is one of the treason you should aleays choose reliable web host.

Processes in Linux: Fun with Terminal

Warning: the content may increase your appetite for interest in Linux.
It’s a myth that “processes” are a complex concept. A process is an executing set of machine level instruction or code.
Whenever you are running an application, a process that belongs to this application is running. There are some processes which runs only in the background. They are called daemons in Linux. The process status, “ps” command shows the currently running processes.
Enough with the theory, now let’s get our hands dirty. Open a terminal session on your favorite Linux distribution.

The “ps” command has mainly two options

  • -e lists all running processes
  • -f shows full process status

At the terminal type “ps -ef

full_process_list_linux

  • UID – id of user who invoked terminal
  • PID – ID of that process
  • PPID – parent process ID of the running process
  • C – no. of child processes
  • STIME – start time
  • TTY – terminal executing the process, shows “?” when it is a daemon
  • CMD – name of the process

When the system boots only one process exists – the init process, which is invoked by kernel. Kernel is the core of an operating system on which all other drivers and applications exist and run. The first process on the list is thus always be init.

At the terminal type “ps -e

process_list_linux

How to initiate a background process?

Linux is a true multi-user, multitasking OS. You can run more than one process simultaneously. Type the program name followed by an ampersand(&) separated by a space

vlc &

vlc

The “&” allows to run vlc media player in the background of our parent shell.

  • [1] shows number of child process.
  • 3120 is the process ID(PID) of vlc.

 As a side note, try “ps” command on your Android phone or tablet. Fire up a terminal emulator and see what happens

Quickly setup your website starting from purchase to nameservers update in just few seconds

create website

The very first thing we do after booking a domain name is setting up hosting account and then updating the nameservers. Many time we have faced a problem where we see that after booking a domain name and setting up the nameservers it takes quite sometime to update the nameserver to reflect the nameservers change you did. There are few common mistakes that we wll do in excitement unknowingly.

When we book a domain name we open the website to check whether the name is booked or not. If it is booked then the website’s ip address is cached in your ISP’s nameservers, though the initial DNS ttl is kept usually kept low by the registrars, still as it is cached on your ISP’s nameservers, even if you update the domain nameservers or alter the DNS record, it will not be refleted to you until the DNS ttl is expired. Hence untill then you will keep seeing the old page and it takes time for it to update on your ISP’s nameservers.

So in short follow these steps to quickly setup your website:

  • Book the domain name [dont open it to test, check email from registrar for confirmayion]
  • Set up hosting account
  • Update the nameservers
  • Wait until a min or two [depending upon registrar] and then open the website
  • If you think you opened the site early then dont worry, change your nameservrs and try in few moments again

You may use Open DNS nameservrs or google nameservers

  • Open DNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
  • Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

You can use this website to check the propogation of nameservers update across the globe. Hope find this article useful. Feel free to leave your feedback in comments.

IPHONE Battery Drainage issue | solution

Sometime when IPHONE battery is fully drained it stuck on an empty battery screen and wont charge up ,no matter  how many hours u charge it , it is not going to switched on

 

 And then u have only one option to take this to apple store , but before going read this article it might save your money and time. first of all let see what is a difference between an iphone in charging state and in not charging state. If you see above symbol   that means your  iphone is not charging , after 3 beeps iphone is going to switched off

If you see this symbol on your iphone screen that means your iphone is charging

 So here are some simple trick what should you do to solve this problem

Trick 1

 Check your cable , if possible then use it in another iphone and see if it is working or not , if you are charging from laptop/desktop then try to charge with main point  , if it is still not charging check trick 2

 Trick 2

try to blow your iphone cable ends and iphone connecting port sometime dust stuck on it and iphone is not charging

If not try trick3

Trick 3

while charging do a hard restart , press power + home button for 10 seconds ,if u see apple logo means that trick work if not working then try trick 4

trick 4

plug your iphone to main power source then do a hard restart until if u see an icon of charging leave your iphone for 2 hours ,after two hours do a hard restart again and leave it for charging let say 2-3 hours most probably your problem will be solved if not see apple store for replacement of cable or battery

  Explanation

 Here what happens, there is a backup battery of iphone when it is drained the ios reject to take any charging , it’s a bug in iphone , so when we hard restarting our iphone means we are restarting ios and we leave our iphone for few hours so it can atleast charge upto the backup level , when it is charged to the backup battery level we restart it again , at that time ios might not start but it start to accept charging ………….
