sensitive data, need to destroy the data on the tapes and
then dispose of the tapes.  Hoping to find a company that
can just take care of it (also have some zip disks, jazz
disks, a box of floppies, hard drives with broken drive
heads but again, sensitive data).    I don’t have to
magnetically destroy it, but I can’t justify my time or the
guy who works for me’s time busting everything with a hammer
and then taking scissors to the tape; just to much.

  I can probably put my hands on one of the
bulk erasers used for old broadcast tapes. Computer tapes
are a lot denser but I've managed to scramble data before.
It would probably depend upon how serious you are about
destroying.

Re: [brlug-general] Digital Ocean

Considering buying a dash cam anyway. Would that contribute to Russian-ness? 
Can I put that on a resumé? "Expected salary: $400k, I have a dashcam."

While we're on the subject I recommend anything in Iceland if you value

So, years ago I created a "slice" at Slicehost to run my personal website and
have root on a box somewhere. A few years ago, Rackspace bought Slicehost and 
then about
a year ago my VM was moved into the Rackspace managed site. Which has been 
working fine.
In fact, my cost from slicehost to rackspace was cut in half because of the 
difference in
rackspace's pricing model. So, i went from $20/month to $11 or so.
But, that slice runs an older Gentoo and i can't seem to get it to upgrade with 
an emerge.
To much stuff fails, i fought it for a while but gave up.
Then I found this site:
https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing

For the same price i'm currently paying, $10/mo. I can triple my current specs. 
or for half the price, i can double my specs. So, for $10/mo. i've created a 
CentOS 6.4 "droplet". 1GBmem. 1 CPU, 30GB SSD Disk with 2TB transfer.
My current slice is 256m, 10gb, 1TB, 4xcpu.

So far so good. There are less OS choices than rackspace, but enough options.
If I build a new VM at rackspace, it would be $16/mo. Rackspace doesn't have 
the VM choice that
I currently have. 

If you're interested, please use this code:

Re: [brlug-general] admin and networking positions

I worked for Eatel support years ago. I remember trying to help someone on BSD 
once. We,  unfortunately, could not resolve the issue since they had a 
WinModem. I suggested an external US Robotics external serial modem. Hardly 
anyone using *nix back then, but we aimed to please.

I hated EATel so hard for pulling out of Livingston Parish back in the day. 
Even though they didn't support it, i remember one of their techs trying to 
help me figure out my dial up modem under FreeBSD.

If they still operate that way, I imagine it's a great company to work for.

Hey everybody,

EATEL has some a few positions open if anyone is interested

Another is a IP network admin:

When I was in CSC at LSU, IBM came through and only hired 3 music majors. Now 
that I'm playing music, I might have a shot.
