WARNING: MaxClients of 1000 exceeds ServerLimit value of 256 servers

Yesterday night I was ready to scream at my VPS, because I kept getting:

WARNING: MaxClients of 1000 exceeds ServerLimit value of 256 servers,
lowering MaxClients to 256. To increase, please see the ServerLimit directive.Read More

Sadly, in my tiredness and googleing I didn’t immediately find the answer until today shortly after I woke up, I finally found the solution here. In short “ServerLimit” MUST MUST gobefore MaxClients otherwise this error will show up, no matter how many times you check that you spelled everything right, and how many times you restart the service!

ServerLimit             1000
MaxClients              1000

Simple fix, but if you don’t know, it can be quite a headache!

Matech Corp

Did a swing trade today since I pulled an all nighter didn’t go too bad, there’s still opportunity to jump in for those that don’t mind high volatility. Matech Corp (MTCH) I was in at $0.1065 out at $0.1165. For a while it was floating between $0.108 and $0.114, but that will change a lot throughout the day.

It appears to be up on news: MATECH Performs EFS Testing on Bridges for Federal Highway Administration

Heres the code on how to hide the footer on myspace:

APNIC finding IP ranges for an ISP

Free Rapidshare Premium Downloads

I’m sure most of us like free stuff. So today I’m going to show you how to download those files off Rapidshare premium without having to pay. I’m probably not the first to publish something like this. This isn’t some unknown exploit or hack, its been out and uses Google. I also want to point out this works 50% of the time.

First things first, load up Google and look up [ "RapidLeech PlugMod rev. 41 by eqbal, updated by szalinski" +settings ] make sure its in quotes, (for those of you more experienced users, you will find other versions and ‘updates’ so you can look for even more).

In link to transload, put in the Rapidshare file your trying to download. Then click on transload file.

If you see this “Download-Ticket reserved.  Please wait 92 sec…” Its not hooked up to a Rapidshare premium account.

Be considerate, otherwise these sites disappear. These sites work great for downloading YouTube video and Megaupload if you reach your limit. If your bored you can explore the “server files” you may see something you like.

Other ways to search in Google (I suggest putting them in quotes):

RapidLeech PlugMod rev. 36 by eqbal
RL PlugMod rev. 38B by eqbal
Auto-Delete: 60 Minutes After Transload
“Auto-Delete: 30 minute  After Non-Access” +settings

Sites like http://rlindex.net/ post lists of theses services as well. Some come with limitations.

Now for the webmasters and admins, this can incur a hefty bandwidth bill or high load on your box. So say you want to protect from abuse there’s a few things you can do, in your robots.txt you can write a disallow rule, password the directory (htpasswd generator), security through obscurity; name the directory like rl28904718472 and hope no one finds it.

Error verifying STEAM UserID ticket

I dont get many problems with Steam, however when I do, I usually share on my blog, and the solution or work around; this one “Error verifying STEAM UserID ticket” is pretty easy to take care of.

Simply open up my computer, go to

C:\Program Files\Steam\

Remove ClientRegistry.blob

Sometimes this error comes up because you signed into steam at a friends place and forgot to sign out. However beyond that I’m not to sure. This also fixes the platform error problem other people got in the past.
