• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Wireless pcie desktop NIC recommendation

    I'm using a TP-Link WDN3800. I didn't bother with installing the software. Just downloaded the Atheros drivers. It connects quickly, and stays connected.

    Modem for Time Warner?

    Motorola and Arris are generally good bets. With Comcast, I'm using a Arris CM820 that I bought refurbed off ebay a few months back, for a whole $30 shipped.

    High speed internet options

    Probably your best bet is going to be fixed wireless. The hard part can sometimes be finding one that serves your area, as they tend to spend little on advertising.

    They've got a ton of IPs.

    Remote Linux V2P

    Instead of using NFS, I would stream the disk image over an SSH tunnel from the VPS. Here's a guide on it, https://www.pantz.org/software/dd/drivecopywithsshanddd.html, though searching for "dd over ssh" will find other examples.

    Remote Linux V2P

    Depends. If the provider offers IPMI or remote console access, this is do-able. You don't even need virtual media support for it. You could have GRUB boot a live OS (run from RAM) using memdisk. Then from within that, overwrite the disk. I've done it in the past, where I had GRUB boot up mfsbsd...

    CentOS hdd issues.

    That's a bit odd. sda contains /boot on sda1 (so kernel, and grub). While sdb contains everything else.

    DVI-D or HDMI to VGA?

    Digital to Analog requires active conversion. That said, if you don't care about performance, you could get a USB video adapter.

    Workstation reliability - any major differences between makes or lines?

    We've had decent luck with Dell Precision. But, for the most part we opt for Supermicro systems built by a local vendor, as they offer more for the money, and quicker support.

    Why are external HDDs still cheaper than their internal equivalent?

    Demand by consumers, perhaps? Almost everyone I know has bought an external HDD or two. But, only a handful I know have bought an internal.

    Alternative to Duplicati (FTP backup program)

    I've had good luck with Areca Backup.

    Are there any reasonably priced per U colocation services for enthusiasts?

    Having worked in the biz, colo costs more than dedicated servers. Colo customers tend to use the resources they pay for.

    2 Xbox Ones and ASUS RT-N66U problem

    It may not fix the issue, but I'd suggest updating the firmware on the router. You're a couple versions behind.

    Competition with ISP's

    Having lived in places with a bunch of ISP choices, it's not always great. Only one bothered to offer faster and faster speeds, the local cable provider. Local telco reduced their speed offerings down to 3Mb (they had ADSL2 DSLAMs so they could offer up to 24Mb), and the other local ISPs...
