About a Year ago maybe longer I did review when I first found bitninja so I thought I’d do another one to give you further incite.

This takes me back to when I first got a computer I started off on aol which back in the day it was a well known internet provider.

Very old version of aol.

Very old version Aim

You had this aol and it had messenger service on it or AIM as well call it. it by far one of my first messengers my big brother had introduced me to I can’t tell you how many alias I went though on aol..

MSN chat and msn messenger – This was another favorite one that my cousins had introduced me to and I tell you msn chat was so much fun back in those days you had your irc and msn chat bots where you could gain more features in the chat room.

Back in the day everyone wanted to have those butterfly wings.

Kinda of old version of msn messenger

I can’t tell you how many countless hours. I’d spend chatting to friends and doing all nighters just having fun being a teen.

Yahoo Chat / Messenger – After getting bored of the above I’d drop in to yahoo chat where I met even more people. Lets be honest yahoo was like the generic version of msn granted you had voice and video eventually

Old school version of yahoo chat

I remember this it was yesterday

From where it led to one of my favorite messenger services which is Skype. It’s something I’ve used so much from then and now even still use the updated version. Some of the changes I didn’t like but learned to deal with.

Granted skype did have a group chat but not public type of chat room it was great for voice and video. It was perfect for inviting group of friends on.

This is old school version of skype

Paltalk – When I first was introduce to this by a friend I wasn’t to for sure about it but the more I learned about it the more I loved it more and more. One of the most interesting parts about paltalk they are more toward the voice and video niche. It’s free service but if you want better quality video you pay and the price is actually affordable monthly. yearly annually

Now this would be top of my list. (This is very old version)

Discord – after some convincing few my friends introduce me to this which it’s free had voice and is free. Alot of gamers and just people who want there own chat server use this alot. You can even generate invite links to get people on your chat.

This place has been spot for geeky stuff but lately I’ve been seeing alot of school shootings on the news and it’ doesn’t stop. To make a change it takes us to make a change.

You may ask how can we help? Very good question you can by being vigilant and reporting those who make threat about it on there social media pages. Right now you may not think anything about it but you may have saved a lot of lives.

How would I report them? Contact your local authorities or Contact the FBI yes they may want to drop in to get further information from you now if that person lives close by I’m sure they can make other arrangements. make sure to get a screen shot and copy the text of the threat, the link to the persons profile any any additional information will help law enforcement.

Not all heroes have capes.

Now this is based of theory and my own personal experience. I know we have vpn, proxy’s, tor all stuff we’d like to assume it will mask your IP address and make you untraceable.

This is for educational purpose. Is to be used for that purpose.

For starters when your IP address leads to your internet provider and a location of some sort Keep in mind that is not location of the personal account holder it’s the location of the data center or the company who owns the IP.

VPN – Can be traced back to the provider – VPN provider still may keep logs and your billing information as well.

Proxy server – Based off the information I’ve found they can be to a point.

Tor – We all have seen you can be traced on tor as well.

Your ip can be traced to extent. If you have person who has knowledge of ip and dns and how they work they could find away with probably utilizing the tools online internet. There are alot of smart people out there.

I’ve been sitting with the same old theme for I don’t know how long. So I thought I would change things up just make it more different. I’m not for sure if I will stick with it but for now. We will see how this turns out.

I thought I would make this short and sweet.

Okay I most certainly thought outlook had a chance but will no and with mailbird being much more affordable email client it’s up on my list. Most likely second on my list.

Outlook left and Mailird on the right

This should be embarrassing for Outlook. If you pay for outlook 365 monthly at $6.99 it would average out to $84.00 Vs Mailbird is $79.00 Lifetime $24.00 yearly. Granted I do give Microsoft they do include a lot more if they didn’t I wouldn’t have ever went back to it.

The last topic made me think what other email client could Thunderbird beat. Now Emclient is another paid email client I’m to cheap to buy and now I found another reason not to get it.

EM client on the left and Thunderbird on the right

I just wanted a reason to buy Em client and it looks like they won’t read .html or .txt files neither. You pay money for this really? You’d think these paid email clients would actually support a feature. Jesus I’m not trying to ask for cheese burger at pizza hut.

I recently wanted to see some of the features of outlook so I decide I’d get it and see how it is so far will I’m not to impressed. with it because some emails won’t even show up if you have .html file or .txt

Ms outlook on the left and Thunderbird on the right.

Trying to find fix is like trying to find needle in a hay stack and it turns out this isn’t even feature that Microsoft has implemented . I’ve been working to find a fix on msoffice365 forum. The only way to view it is to manually doing it. You’d think for paid for type of program like this any email would show up. If Thunderbird can do it they are free outlook can do it to.

This has made me rethink my selection email clients now. I mean come on you pay money for this they should have this feature look at thunder bird it’s free and you get feature that outlook can’t seem to comprehend the reason a person would use it.

I guess I got use to things actually working like there suppose to within thunderbird. I wanted to move back to outlook just because it had some handy features so I thought.

In thunderbird this email would show up fine.

I did try to reach out to Microsoft support but that was another fun game just because I was trying to them the email came this way he told me how to do stuff through everything but outlook the program it self. don’t get me wrong here I do like microsoft but it scares the crap out me thinking the person who made this feature actually drives a car.

For the past month I’ve been wanting to host my own email server granted I know there is alot of providers out there but I just don’t know what they are doing so I figure I might as well get vps host my own email server and if friends, family wanted unique email address I’d host them as well. The goal is reliability and trustworthy

i’m going to go through with some of the kinds I’ve tried so far and my personal thoughts. None of these I would suggest use for selling email services just as your own private email if you want to kick the habit with going with gmail, hotmail and go unique

Mailinabox – Not to bad pretty easy to configure and install on your vps. uses ubuntu

Mail Cow – Alot more options which I’m testing that one out if you’d like to test it with me push me tweet or reach out to me on discord.

It’s been few months since I’ve published much on Facebook and twitter due to my social media plugin stopped working. So I’ve been hunting for a different one after few months I believe I found decent one spent about 8 hours finding the right one but I think I nailed it. .

You should be seeing more post on Facebook and twitter. I do try to check twitter and Facebook as often as possible. Now the next thing I was thinking was to add Facebook comments or just use word press and go crazy on the spam filters because I’ve seen legit post on comments.

I had friend offer to sell me vps but I was a bit excited to try something new or if even new provider I haven’t tried so I thought I would try to order from leasewebs.

From start I fill in the information you know first last name and address and all that jazz then they said there is verification process about 1 – 3 days I’m cool with that just shows there proactive. So I get to the part where I select the payment and I select PayPal then hit pay. Then it brings me back to where I filled in my address. Being geek in all I figure it could be a browser issue so I tried chrome and Firefox granted I should have tried explore everything works and breaks in that but I threw in the tows emailed them nearly 24 – 48 hours later they reply I done ordered from differ provider took me less then 5 mins to put my vps order in.

At the end of the day I just wanted to order a vps not buy car. When small provider thats using blesta, whmcs, etc and you can order from them within less then few minutes these bigger companies with there custom made billing systems better make make sure there are some measure in place to ensure customers can order.

I’ve been working more on this site to increase the performance of it. I take and value you feed back and advise. While working on this site I realized a few things.

A lot of plugins. Since WordPress now has YouTube integration there is no need for YouTube plugin.

Update settings on server.

Still working on figuring out why the site went down last night some time. reviewing the logs.

The thing that bugs me in the huge auther pictures which I’m working to get rid of those if you have advise leave a comment or join our discord channel

Could MeWe be a Facebook alternative?

Profile page 

Settings page

A friend had came to me and showed me this site. What I like about it’s simple and easy nothing difficult and no crazy ads, tracking .  Your in control.  they do support android and ios. So far I haven’t gotten that far to test it yet. 

It’s my far different from facebook and google + as you will see below the menu style is different. Granted the top bar does stick when your scroll down.

The post menu

If you want to cut strings and make the move here is there about page and here is there main page. It’s very simple to join.

Now I’ve recently had change providers this one is so so granted after upgrading my package it seems to be a little better but I think I need more cores in this vps to get to where it was at.  I think I will see how this month goes and go from there. 

I have nothing bad to say about this provider they’ve been amazing to me even have helped me out with a few issues I’ve had so major props to them granted when it comes to providers I’m a bit picky I’d like to say but you may not think so.

This will be alike no other review I’ve done and most of my reviews are more good then bad and this may be different. Server4you.com

Pros: - Good vps deals for 100 GB SD / 2 Vcores /4 GB ram or 200GB with the same as ram and core. - Live Support very helpful manage to resolve my issue. - Ticket support response time is decent .

Cons: - No refunds - If you want to update your paypal or try to buy via paypal you have to have active account. Third of the time the link doesn't work. - Update credit card feature doesn't work. - WHM/Cpanel not recommended on vps - Limited to 128 iptable rules VPS. If you want to use CSF good luck they will just recommend you upgrade.

If I were to rate this on a scale from 1 -10 I would give this 4. If you use WHM/cpanel and CSF I wouldn’t recommend getting vps from here dedicated okay or virutal dedicated but keep in mind if you don’t like there services there isn’t a refund.
