To the guys/gals that mirror the roms. - Off-topic

Do you have any stats on how many hits and amount of data downloaded?
I'm thinking of helping out and using my server to host roms but am a little worried if my server would handle it.
Cheers.

What's your server's stats?

It's a midphase vps, silver option.

[Q] Password protection software

Ok, so I've got about 1.75 million user names/passwords for all kinds of things. Some are fluff but some are a bit more protected like hospital PW's etc.
So here's where I'd like to get your input. There are a good dozen apps or so out there and I wanted to get input from you all on what pw protection app you use? Which one has quick/easy access and is secure? any other pros like sync'ing with a desktop file, etc?
Obviously this is quite an important piece of software so I don't mind buying one just want to get opinions on which one to buy.
Thanks!

Maybe not the most elegant solution, but I'm very happy with a combination of KeePass + Dropbox. The first for password management and the second for syncing between multiple systems. Works great for my needs and it's all legit, free software.

Thanks for the input....dropbox is awesome and been using that for some time.
Does keepass sync with desktop?
Dose it sync
From the looks of it it looks like it I would sure hope that it sync
http://keepass.info/index.html
Because it is a pc program
And Rvt1000 and alienhairball would u recommend keepass to me?
I know what you mean, but at this time keepass doesn't sync on its own. I know there are apps out there which do, but I've used keepass on my desktop for years so I'm pretty used to it
I've also been a dropbox user for a while so it just made sense for me to use the two programs together.

Thanks for the input, may give keepass a shot. Also thinking of The one that sbsh makes. Can't recall the name but it's ipp in the poll bit I can't see it since I'm on mobile mode.
mwiz: I'm still getting input from people so I don't feel I can provide any input yet.

One last bump before I go out and buy one....would love to hear other responses
Lastpass is what I am using. It fills forms and saves passwords on the phone and desktop. Its encrypted syncs between desktop and phone but uses lastpass's server for it but its totally secure. Replaced roboform with this and like it much better.

Rate limiting in the Revolution??

My 4G hits 20 Mbps constantly. I would hate to tether to my PC and hit my data limit in 20 minutes.
Does anyone know if the LG Revolution can be configured to rate limit the download or upload connections? This way I can make sure that I'm not over using it?
If nobody is doing this I will see if I can program it, my skills are a bit rusty though.

I'm not sure what you are saying, but just because speedtest shows 20mb/s doesn't mean you are actually doing that while tethered to a computer. The only way is if you are streaming high def movies our downloading heavy files. To keep an eye on data usage you can use the My Verizon app.
For example, I turn on the tether and let a friend and his laptop connect. If he had bittorrent running he could easily max out my usage in less than 1 hour under ideal circumstances.
Currently I don't know of a way to prevent this, trusting my friend may be a mistake. If I had controls on bandwidth and even firewall out some ports/protocols like bittorrent then I wouldn't have to worry at all.
Tell your friend to get his own Internet.... Just sayin... Lol problem solved!

Bittorrent and a limited data plan don't go together. And yes, your friend could eat up your usage real fast and cause you overage charges.

Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to General
Doing this very easily could require Kernel support. Linux obviously supports this ability but is it built into the linux Kernel for Android?
this makes no sense, why would you use a limited data plan and plan on letting people use your phone like this? Wifi tether has a built in log that shows data usage while using tether.

file transfer services.

i see everyone using some type of file server account. then getting your accounts suspended from too many transfers.
why don't you all create your own ftp websights and have your own servers.???????
what would be the drawbacks.
i used to have an old pc i would use for transfering funny shows from my tivo to my dad who lives 1700 miles away.
i used dyndns.com. it's free. to direct his traffic to my pc. and had a free ftp program installed on the pc.
basically i had my own ftp web address that he could tie into my pc with.
i had a folder on the pc. that allowed access. so he could see any file that was in that folder only. not the rest of the pc. but it was a dedicated pc for his use only. so i coould leave it on. and let him access and trasnfer at his discretion.
in other words. i had my own ftp websight set up on a seconday pc specifically for that purpose.

This has NOTHING to do with development.... reported!
Moved to the more appropriate Q and A
I would reckon many don't want to open themselves up for potential attacks and/or potential slowdowns. Me personally would have no problem with it but I wouldn't be using FTP.
EDIT:
Now that I think about it I probably wouldn't as the significantly increased traffic to my IP would raise an eyebrow or two at Verizon. Running services violates my TOS with them. Shame as I have a decent fiber connection.
Because it ha nothing to do with servers and everything to do with bandwidth, which is still a concern if you host your own server. Although some of these links get hammered (ask Samurai about that lol), and would require good hardware (read: expensive) to properly host as well. Besides, most can barely read forums and handle their phone hardware. Setting up a raid 10 NAS with iSCSI and load balancing servers is beyond the grasp of most...

I get port scanned regularly by Comcast. My Sonicwall logs are filled with the discarded packet messages.

if you have cable. speed shouldn't be much of an issue these days. the roms aren't that big. so users could download pretty quickly.
FTP is wayyyyyyyyyy faster then https.
https has a max of 50kbps.
ftp also has a setting that one can choose for max uploads. which would suck if the entire world was trying to download at the same time.
the cheapest computer you could possibly find. is sufficient. no need for a raid and all that stuff.
it's a dedicated machine for your needs. get a virus. 10 minutes is all it takes to format and re setup. your own computer is never touched.
only problem i see as one post indicated would be the amount of uploads. and TOS if that applies.
i never got hammered and neither did my dad. when we transfered as high as 50 gigs per month on movies. i had qwest and he had ATT dsl
in all reality. really not much difference then the old days of using kazaa and napster. cept your providing your own server.

Possible to block IP from Kindle?

Hello everyone,
I currently have a friend who is somewhere in the middle east doing something (if you've ever been in the military you'll understand) and she recently purchased Amazon Prime not knowing it was only usable in the US and very few select countries. The issue I am running into is she's using wifi since she's on her Kindle and the p2p guards I know of don't work with wifi so I am hoping someone here in the xda community has an answer for me.
If your asking what I think your asking, its basically how can I use amazon prime videos and not be in the USA? If so I have never tried this to see if it works and I can't now that I'm on cm without reflashing, but I think if she proxies through a USA server it may work, don't know the militaries stance on you proxying though. Its completely legal to do but just like at school or at work they tend to get mad if u go through a proxy because it can bypass their firewall for website blocking and such. I think the kindle has the option to set a proxy but I prefer using proxy droid because I can save a list of proxies I use. You need root access to use it though. Once u have that u would just need a USA proxy server off the internet. Idk if this would work, but if they only check your country based off your IP then I would think it would work. Note when proxying your bandwidth will go down usually, the further from the server the more the bandwidth will suck. By the way what did you mean by p2p guards? I know p2p usually is involved in torrenting, so if your suggesting anything about torrenting be very careful, its bounds for getting banned I think if u mention much more than that.

[Q] Looking for a drone with specific features

Hey everyone!
I'm sure this isn't the place, but where else on the internet do you find more people with gadget knowledge than here?!
I am looking for a drone with certain features, that might or might not exist. I haven't been able to find it so far.
The features I'm looking for are:
- connects to existing wifi network and usable remotely through internet.
- A charging dock which it can drive into or a standby mode that can last all day without going flat.
- camera! (obviously)
The purpose is to be able to remotely check on my rabbit, as he freely roams my apartment.
If anyone has advice or can just tell me it's a pipedream, that would be awesome!
Thanks
It's a challenging question and as much as I know I haven't found such an exquisite drone. But the other problem is are your pockets big enough for the price of such a drone. Best of luck.
