LEA (LowEndAdmin) is the original founder of LowEndBox and the visionary who gave rise to an entire movement around minimalist, efficient hosting. In 2008, LEA launched LowEndBox with a simple but powerful idea: that it was possible to run meaningful applications, web servers, VPNs, mail servers, and more – on small, low-cost virtual machines with minimal resources.
At a time when most infrastructure discussions were dominated by high-end servers and enterprise platforms, LEA championed the opposite approach: lightweight Linux distros, self-managed servers, open source software, and thoughtful optimization. This philosophy gave birth to the term “Low End Box”, which would come to define a new genre of hosting tailored to developers, tinkerers, and budget-conscious users around the world.
Through LowEndBox and its companion forum, LowEndTalk, LEA built the foundation for what would become one of the most active and enduring communities in the hosting world, prioritizing knowledge-sharing, transparency, and accessibility.
After several years of nurturing the site and community, LEA stepped away from active involvement, passing the torch to a new generation of admins, contributors, and moderators. Today, LEA remains a respected figure in the LowEnd ecosystem, credited with launching a platform and philosophy that continues to influence thousands of infrastructure providers and users globally.
LowEndBox’s legacy, and its thriving community, is a direct result of LEA’s original vision.
Offtopic – No deadpool this month?
Argh I know I have forgotten something…
Just when you think youve seen everything possible in terms of ridiculous IRC policies this one comes along.
IPXcore allows the hosting of IRC servers. IPXcore prohibits any other use of IRC software, including but not limited to: clients, daemons, bots, botnets, BNCs.
IRC daemons(normally abbreviated to IRCd) of course being the server software, so on top of being ridiculous it contradicts itself.
Yep. Why the hell would it be ok to run a server (ignoring the contradiction later) but not to run a client? Their TOS seems quite sensible apart from that, but don’t they get someone to proofread things? :/
The word “daemon” is used to cover ourselves. We’re not allowing any kind of bot, specifically regarding: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warez#Automated_warez_distribution_via_IRC_robots
How about admitting its down to cluelessness, that is the only possibility.
An IRC daemon is the server software you claim to permit earlier in the same sentence. It has no other meaning. Clients, bots and BNCs are not IRC daemons.
If you want to play the wikipedia game try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_daemons. You will notice every piece of software listed there is an IRC server, which the first sentence from your TOS claims is acceptable. Bonus points go to those noticing that the link you provide does not feature the word daemon anywhere.
One day a wannabe VPS provider will bother to understand their TOS rather than cut’n’pasting it from somewhere that looks pretty and randomly changing a few words.
heh Good luck with that.
Damian @ ipxcore people here try to tell you the difference.
This would have sense: IPXcore allows the hosting of IRC clients (and channel bots) but prohibit IRC servers – and not opposite as you do.
Many of us are connected to some irc server/network with irc client and some of us run some channel bot like eggdrop (http://www.egghelp.org/whatis.htm) while running own IRCd (irc deamon – irc server) is completelly different story and in hands of some unskilled newbs introduce bigger risk than personal irc client, BNC, channel bot…
It makes no sense to prohibit irc clients but to allow irc servers. Whith a bit of common sense rather allow irc clients and prohibit irc servers if you feel the “need” to prohibit something irc related.
Perhaps they have a reason for allowing irc servers and denying irc clients. I’d sure love to hear it. :)
btw. your link about “Automated_warez_distribution_via_IRC_robots” is so damn outated. It’s not like 1996 – 2000?
Do you use torrents? Or your friends? Well no need to say anthing regarding that. But how often did you download something through irc bot? Most like NEVER as this isn’t really known and attractive way to share files and nowaday no one do that (more or less).
Most people use irc bots like eggdrops, mechs, psotnic for specific channel task like keeping operator status, logging, trivia, stats, user limit, etc…
@Gary yeah – it would be interesting to hear something new regaring internet relay chat.. :)
hmm,, Ive seen this template before…..
