This is a really nice post. Nice work! Since this is a server-related forum, it's probably worth mentioning the U.2 interface. U.2 drives look like 2.5 inch SATA drives, but it provides a PCIe x4 connection like M.2 does. It's also hot swappable. I…

(Quote) As far as I know, something about packet routing or NAT or something is still single-threaded on BSD. When I was testing, it was hitting 100% usage of a single core. On OpenWrt, it was using all cores evenly. I was able to hit 8Gbps with a …

I tried Opnsense but I've got a 10Gbps internet connection and couldn't get 10Gbps throughput no matter what I tweaked. It was maxing out at around 3.8Gbps even after enabling offloading, disabling Spectre and Meltdown mitigations, and tweaking a bu…

The only thing I'm looking for is deals from GreenCloudVPS, and they have their 10th birthday sale next week so I might not even have to wait until Black Friday. Their 9th birthday sale had VPSes with 9 cores (Xeon) or 4 cores (AMD EPYC), 9GB RAM, 9…

(Quote) Thanks! Here's a photo of the 'server' PC sitting on the shelf with the Pi. It's very small! The power and Ethernet cables are tied to the back posts of the shelving unit using Velcro (Ethernet on the left, power on the right) (Image) Only…

Use a separate email address, get a PO box, and use a VoIP service like voip.ms to get a different phone number :smile:

Pretty boring at the moment - Just based on the location of the server (most are VPSes). (Image) It's starting to annoy me a bit though, since I was inconsistent with when I used country ISO code (e.g. ch** for Switzerland, ca** for Canada) vs wh…

GreenCloudVPS - BudgetKVMSJC-3, San Jose California, 8GB RAM, 60GB SSD RAID-10, 4 cores, $45/year (~$3.75/month). Their support is amazing for the price - all my tickets have received replies in <5 minutes. # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## …

I ended up signing up for a VPS with GreenCloudVPS, since they have good reviews on here and OGF, and their live + ticket support are both very responsive. I'm a bit worried about the CPU usage quotas in the Terms of Service but I guess we'll see ho…

Does anyone here have opinions on GreenCloudVPS, good or bad? They have some "budget servers" available for preorder, in my budget.

(Quote) I used to use BuyVM - in fact I was a customer for 9 years from way back when they had servers in San Jose with ColoCrossing - but they're outside my price range this time. I also ended up hitting issues with high iowait and slower network p…

(Quote) I ended up getting my VM up and running again. This was an NVMe VM rather than a storage VM though. It took a while. What I ended up doing was restoring the 10 GiB backup to a different HostHatch 10 GiB VM (or I guess I could have restored…

(Quote) They still use Bing. Pretty much every search engine that isn't Google uses Bing in some way, as Bing is the largest search engine that has an official public search API that other companies can use (whereas Google does not have one). Voice …

(Quote) They're RISC processors instead of CISC, so the optimizations are very different. They probably have their own issues in other areas, they just haven't been found yet. (Quote) This will change over time as prices change... I'd guess that th…

(Quote) This should have really been mentioned in the email or the control panel. Customers wouldn't expect that a "reinstall" button would reduce the amount of disk space on the VPS. I reinstalled one of my VMs to see if it'd get rid of …

(Quote) I've got a bunch (I think around 15?) of HostHatch VPSes and the ones that haven't been migrated across for me yet are Milan, Amsterdam and Stockholm. Everything else is in the new panel now. I've got 4 in Los Angeles (3 legacy and one AMD E…

(Quote) Tell them that you're fixing it, then just open a support ticket and let the host do all the work :smile:

If your friend isn't tech-savvy and you don't want to manage things for them, I'd suggest moving to a managed WordPress host, where they handle updates and security for you. WPEngine is best but expensive, SiteGround is decent and fairly cheap, and …

Makes sense... Costs are going up all over the place these days. I expect most hosts to increase their prices at some point. They can't stay at the current prices forever given inflation and massive (far larger than inflation) increases in prices fo…

@antibomb Did you end up resolving this?

(Quote) Exactly this. This drive sounds quite useful for anything that needs an immutable audit trail, such as for regulatory reasons.
