(Quote) I guess this means the VPS of mine that's vanished is in Chicago, then :lol: (doesn't seem to be a way to see what node you're on once it's dead... /sigh)
-
Things like Zabbix (other monitors are avaiable!) will give you an insight into your CPU usage over time (along with... lots of other metrics) which can be useful in spotting your general resource requirements. Tools like top are great for a snapsh…
-
(Quote) It's the percentage of your virtualised CPU; 35% constantly is ... pretty busy tbh. I'll spike to close on 100% for a few minutes for big heavyweight daily jobs (like backups), but the background on any of my servers doesn't come close to t…
-
(Quote) I suppose there are "only" 4 billion IPv4 addresses, which at least makes the database size feasible - but as you say, it would be out of date before you even finished assembling it. There's probably a smarter way of pulling the d…

(Quote) Frying pan, meet fire.

(Quote) "do expect to face the consequences of not follow them, without further notice, future amnesty, or warning."

It's the huge volumes of CSF spam that he really objects to, which kind of makes sense given that they generally go straight in the spam folder anyway. It's trained me to be more aggressive it turning off a lot of those pointless warnings, so overa…

@Francisco while you're fixing things, you might want to change the URL for reseller hosting to mention cpanel a bit less :lol:
-
Back in the mists of time I ended up getting a Reseller plan just because the shared ones were so cheap I felt bad about paying such a pittance... :lol:
-
At 100mbps, the Kimsufi option you mentioned is probably your best bet - a couple of EUR more will get you up to some entry level SoYouStart choice, which bumps you up to 250mpbs.

(Quote) You might want to renew that domain, so I can continue to visit your holding page every few months...
-
Another option to consider (if you're comfortable suckling at Cloudflare's teet) - https://github.com/cloudflare/wildebeest
-
Indeed; to be honest you're probably better off looking for a dedicated mastodon hoster (I think masto.host are open again) rather than a managed VPS.

(Quote) Waiting on a fraud check perhaps?
-
When did high-end become "over $15 a year"?
-
Depending on how strict your egg restriction is, Twiglets. (they don't contain egg but do have an allergen warning because their factory uses egg and they're paranoid about cross contamination)
-
(Quote) Maybe "p.m" (per month) instead?
-
(Quote) I saw those, wasn't sure if they'd be awesome or disappointing (so I bought some Tunnocks Teacakes instead). I think what we're all ignoring here is that someone is flying across an entire ocean to go to ... Milton Keynes?!
-
And Jaffa Cakes.
-
Really? You waited less than 90 minutes before bumping? Your waiting time has been doubled.
-
(Quote) What is their Discord? It seems to be ... well, if not hidden then certainly poorly advertised!
-
I'm curious; is it that DCs run by staff with functioning brains simply don't exist, or that they're out of the price range of "low end" providers?
-
(Quote) You need a new pizza parlour.
-
(Quote) I know I shouldn't, but I'm trying to square that with "I've opened a dispute on Paypal". Ok, enough feeding, back to beer n bed.
-
I can always tell when BF is coming up; just getting my renewal notices arriving in my mailbox :)
-
(Quote) Wow, that must be a pretty special deal from them - that much RAM and storage isn't far off that per month on their website =)
-
(Quote) I had to hard refresh to get it to come up. It's pretty slick, and generates some awfully nice prices. Does the order button work? :)
-
(Quote) You're right of course; I got lured into feeding because I was bored in my hotel room and I should have just gone and got an early beer. This is, happily, a lesson worth learning :-)
-
(Quote) Meh; his opening post was "this is a scam, I'm doing a chargeback" without any information about what problems he had actually had (nodes, locations, any actual facts that could have been looked at to help). The OP DID NOT WANT any…
-
(Quote) Needs? I already have all the servers I require for my needs. This is more about the craving for ... let's call them spares. Although I should probably install something on my last idler before adding yet another one!
-
(Quote) Do you get that much abuse from that? I (perhaps naively) assumed that web serving was a fairly prime VPS use. Also, which of your locations is least ... troubled, in case I was to grab an offer =)
-
(Quote) Oof. No port 80/443? I'm used to SMTP being closed off, but ruling out web services too is ... kinda limiting :)
-
(Quote) tbh there's a lot of alternate SBCs that are better designed for a lot of stuff and have a less stressed supply chain; the Pis are great for general purpose tinkering but these days unless you're looking to use Pi-specific hardware add-ons I…
-
(Quote) I continue to be amazed at how patient and polite you've managed to be through all of this. Don't think I have the temperament to be a hoster!
-
(Quote) They've spoken pretty extensively and openly about it - a blend of supply (as with everyone else on the planet, they're finding it hard to get enough silicon in) and demand (which went through the roof as soon as Covid hit and still hasn't r…
