Do I look like a search engine?
yep, because its harder to enter the kvm filesystem if its done right.
think of openvz as a semi-vm but not a full virtualized vm.
@eol , what are your weekend plan? don't tell me your about to assemble another PC .. i wanna hear about your girl situations!
I bought parts for another 2 machines this week, so...
I am too old for girls.
Yes
oky then how about older women? then Hummm
KVM. Period. Is there anything else apart from this that I can help you with?
Older women are still girls.
i bet i am older than you.... i am > 42
Ok.
You win.
now why does that make me feel bad .... anyway, best wishes to you eol.
Sorry.
I didn't meant to make you feel bad.
Thanks, you too, mate.

Nah, OpenVZ is like the adult son you let live in your basement, even when you think he's a little noisy at times.
Neither of these are necessarily accurate, or true. Welcome to the shitposters' guild!
If we talk about virtualization and security, this should include virtualized hardware and the virtual server should act completely on its own. Why is KVM interesting? Because it maintains separate instances for each virtual server. Unless the fact that it uses more resources than OpenVZ from a host perspective. However, it gives a lot more isolation and customizability.
Best security is when unplug the network cable.
And the CD drive too.
lol CD look at this boomer
as a walking survivor of Y2K bug , have learnt that the IDE port can still be infectious. Rj11 remains so.
Goddamn I heard some guys died of a BNC infection.

Nice one! How would you describe kvm then?
KVM is the daddy you never had.
KVM is more secure because one can run Windows on it along with funny anti-virus combinations. To make it even more secure many like to have RDP running and open.
PM fast haven't hacked accounts recently 😬
The best security is when you have nothing to secure
Idling dad?
KVM lets you encrypt your file system. OpenVZ does not. Your files are all in /var/lib/vz/yourvps basically.
Any idiot scam host could very easily snoop on your files on OpenVZ. It would take a skilled and determined host to break into your encrypted KVM, those are the hosts that you want to avoid. Trouble is they would be the most competent system admins.
The point is, go with a host you trust, and if you trust them make sure you trust any 3 letter organization that is also interested in your data. Suddenly you reach a level of paranoia that makes you question everything, including yourself.
I think they are watching me type this..
