Flippa is decent for buying/selling domains.

(Quote) Buffalo. Would have been nice to get a server in San Jose as that's very close to where I live at the moment. I've actually got two servers from Black Friday 2018. The one that I mentioned earlier, and one with the same processor, 8 GB RAM …

This is a really good post. Thanks for detailing your experiences!

(Quote) I hear this a lot about VirMach, but one of the best performing VPSes I've got is with VirMach, from their 2018 Black Friday sale. It's a beast of a server though: 4 vCores @ 3 GHz, 10 GB RAM and 120 GB SSD.

The script looks pretty good... Nice work. (Quote) I've got WireGuard running on a 256 MB KVM with no issues. On Linux, at runtime it's just a kernel module so the memory requirements are lower than other VPN apps that need userland apps to be runn…

A while back I was looking for a storage VPS for backups, and one of the providers I tried out had such absolutely horrible disk I/O performance. An fio benchmark returned a result of 0.58 MB/s. I think the IDE hard drive I had in my first computer …

(Quote) When I was doing my initial prototyping, I couldn't get BoringTun working on OpenVZ: https://github.com/cloudflare/boringtun/issues/90. Seems like the issue I had was fixed though, I just haven't tried it again since Wireguard-go is working …
-
(Quote) Not 100% sure but I have a feeling this won't work on OpenVZ due to how it configures the network device, and you'll need to try it on KVM instead.

(Quote) (Image) Is that "All services are operational" banner just hard-coded? lol ???

(Quote) Someone once asked me why their computer was so slow... They had four different anti-virus programs installed. "I got a virus once, so I installed a few antiviruses to make my protection even better".
-
(Quote) I've heard that CGNAT is relatively popular in various European countries, and in China. On the other hand, a lot of the American phone carriers are almost exclusively IPv6 now... T-Mobile is ~95% IPv6, using NAT64 to connect to legacy (IPv4…
-
(Quote) You could get a HE Tunnelbroker IPv6 tunnel and set that up on your laptop :) (Quote) I think it's possible (tunnelling 'public' IPv6 over WireGuard), not sure though. I just use it for a point-to-point VPN, connecting a bunch of VPSes toge…
-
(Quote) For all my NAT VPSes, I'm using the IPv6 addresses (in general I use only IPv6 for inbound connections to NAT VPSes). You could use the IPv4 as long as you use a port number in your NAT port range, but I found it easier to use IPv6 so that e…

(Quote) You're very unlikely to hit that in real life though - Usually you have far more reads vs writes, except in some particular cases (eg. a database server could be write-heavy if it's primarily for transactions instead of analytics).
-
(Quote) Indeed it is, even for legacy OpenVZ6: (Image) You can see a full list of supported kernels here: https://patches.kernelcare.com/
-
(Quote) The great thing with Grafana is that you can combine multiple servers into a single graph :) (Image) I'm scraping data from Netdata into Prometheus, but haven't had time to set it up on all my VPSes yet.

What does this even mean? (from https://datawest.com.au/about-us/) (Image) Does this mean they're running at 90% capacity on their VPS nodes? 25% of domains are not registered? They have 5% unsold inventory of dedicated servers? I'm so confused. …

Is Seattle OK? FWIW, I live near San Jose and Cloudflare often routes via Seattle for me. MrVM has a location in Seattle, as does RamNode. Los Angeles might give you slightly better pings to the Bay Area though.
-
@mikho Hope you feel better soon! Definitely rest up and spend time getting better :)
-
(Quote) In my case I was trying to switch to Debian 10 at a provider that's quite slow to respond to tickets. They still haven't responded... I think I'll just cut my losses and either stay on Debian 9 or switch to a different provider.
-
(Quote) There's enough IPv6 addresses for each human on Earth to have trillions of addresses, so no worries there :) (Quote) I found each of my devices takes about four addresses. Am I wasting too many addresses? Should I release the /48 and go bac…
-
(Quote) It's not a waste; it's required for some features to work properly. IPv6 was intentionally designed this way. See https://etherealmind.com/allocating-64-wasteful-ipv6-not/ It's actually quite useful even on one server/VPS, as containers (LX…

(Quote) Are you encountering issues with the libraries even when statically linking them? Do you get an error message?
-
(Quote) Hmmmm, quite possibly a different setting. AFAIK there's no 4.19 kernel for OpenVZ so the version number is a lie, which is dangerous (as the kernel may not actually support all the features of 4.19.0).
-
(Quote) I'm seeing the same thing. Filed a ticket earlier today.
-
(Quote) Hmm... I'm not seeing that. Milan: daniel@it01:~$ uname -aLinux it01.d.sb 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21 #1 SMP Thu Jun 27 15:10:55 MSK 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux France: daniel@fr01:~$ uname -aLinux fr01.d.sb 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21 #1 SMP Thu …

(Quote) Ensure the virtio driver is installed / compiled into your kernel.
-
I do something similar to @ouvoun's script, except via Ansible. Just have to manually configure SSH keys and install Python3 and then Ansible handles the rest. The Debian installer already asks to create a new user, so I guess that part of your scri…
-
(Quote) Not allowing importing npm packages really limits the usefulness though. One of the primary benefits of CodeSandbox is that you can import third party packages and modify the Webpack config (or use something other than Webpack, like Parcel).
-
(Quote) I've installed Netdata on several servers and have never seen it use more than 5% CPU. I've even got it running on NAT VPSes, although I decreased the refresh rate to 5 seconds on those (not due to CPU usage, but due to RAM usage). For me, C…
-
Netdata is really awesome. Here's a post I made about it on another forum: https://hostballs.com/t/netdata-awesome-system-monitoring-tool/1662 It has per-second granularity for all the metrics it collects, so can be extremely useful for debugging C…

If the VPS supports iPXE, you might be able to use https://netboot.xyz/ to start the CentOS installer.

(Quote) Can I add the extra 192 MB to one of my VPSes? lol
