(Quote) Tom - have you considered experimenting with DN42 - it should help you go a long way with minimal cost (and I think you already have most of what you need). I'd say it's a great way to get your toes wet and then figure out what next after yo…

Go with either pfSense or OPNSense. pfSense has had some issues with their plans to go pseudo-closed-source/commercial with the community supported edition becoming an after thought. As a result OPNSense is gaining a fair bit of traction. Both are q…

(Quote) Thank you - I have enough bandwidth to run circles around the globe many times over and still have some left over bits to spin some tails with. (Quote) Oh wow! Now that's evil genius for sure. Just imagine what the nefarious like yours trul…

Woah @Not_Oles - I'm honoured (or should I be distressed?). Thank you for your kind words. I wrote that up purely as a tribute to our local IPv6 champion @Brueggus - his wit, impishness and repartee over at the OGF have always been fun and inspiring…

I'm so long behind that I just recently upgraded some machines from Jessie to Buster. So much for state of the art... but there's nothing like stability from Debian. Of course many would say I live in the stone age but I'll gracefully show myself ou…

If you're only looking for network information (and not detailed protocol specific stuff), I suggest you take a look at vnstat - it's a very lightweight interface monitoring tool that keeps track of traffic totals (in+out).

I thought I'd just add my random $0.02 - one of the funky things with (I think) newer kernels and/or systemd (or some crazy lunar configuration between them) is that the there's some dynamic sorcery going on for automatic bridge devices (at least at…

For those who care, Singapore DC2 is Leaseweb (volume network if you care even more). LW generally has very good (and consistent) peering to multiple locations in the APAC region - so it's usually a good network to have presence on (even if volume).…

@mikho - have you considered a "flexible" bundle - so something along the lines of x VMs of 256 MB that we (the customers) can instantiate/destroy as needed (you can maybe even restrict it geographically so only 1 or 2 in each continent or…

(Quote) From the post: (Quote) So OpenVZ7.

(Quote) Thanks. It wasn't a config issue at all then - nice to know.

(Quote) Care to share for others benefit? Separately, I remember from a while back, that there was a similar issue I faced with a provider when my IPv6 connectivity would mysteriously drop for some time and then magically reappear as if nothing hap…
-
(Quote) Don't forget to factor in some crazy routes because many providers will go with "cheap" transit. This often times results in some utterly useless routing despite Anycast "best intentions". This is especially true for mass…

Depending on the space in question, I typically end up using both ext4 (on lvm/mdadm) and zfs (directly over raw disks). I usually use ext4 on the root (OS) volume along with some space for VMs (that can be run on lvm/ext4). I also have a separate …

(Quote) Actually a lot of times, the issue is to have encryption at rest, especially for the "casual" users. This sort of protects people from mistakes and human errors (on the providers or others including law enforcement's part). Paranoi…

If you're OK going a bit south (<8ms) to (almost) Houston (actually slightly north of Houston) consider https://dataideas.com/ (DataIdeas-Josh at the OGF, I don't think he's registered/active here). Definitely worth considering.

Happy Birthday @mikho! As you age, I hope you keep adding more (preferably exotic) locations to your NAT offerings. Yet another idler added thanks to your generous offers! I've honestly lost track of what I have and where. Oh well... that's for anot…

(Quote) Separately, I'd be very wary of a such a huge raid-0 setup. Any disk dies and the whole array goes kaput. Better to just treat each disk separately and slice it among that particular disks users proportionally. If something bad were to happe…

(Quote) What was I thinking... maybe someday though that looks too far fetched for mere mortals like me. Though @lentro will disagree... (Quote) That makes sense. If you literally divide the server into 30 "chunks" evenly, netting 100GB N…
-
(Quote) One suggestion, in case it hasn't crossed your mind (yet), is to have both RAID 1 (mdadm) for your main OS (avoid ZFS only because rescue with ZFS isn't very straightforward). A simple <50GB partition should do the trick for Proxmox and f…

Good Luck @AnthonySmith and looking forward to more interesting things from you now that you'll have a long overdue carefree vacation where you can rest assured that @Clouvider's team will look after the customers. I hope now that you're onboard wi…

(Quote) Isn't it supposed to be 3.84 TB x 2? I just posted https://talk.lowendspirit.com/post/quote/2505/Comment_55726 for @willie - could you post your drive details as well?
