(Quote) I would say powerful. Powerful like in a landmine. It can be extremely effective when used correctly, but if you don't know what you are doing it will be a mess.

The beginning of Checkmk forked from Nagios like 20 years ago, so if you want to compare it with something I would say Nagios, Icinga or OP5 is closest. I think the Checkmk Raw Edition actually still runs the Nagios core, its only the Enterprise edi…

(Quote) I have a few domains there. Have had some issues with transfers getting stuck and it took support a couple of days to answer and then another couple of days to fix the problem, so if you are the kind of user that requires constant and immed…

Got the letter, pimped one of the laptops and my workstation. Thanks! :smile: (Image)

(Quote) True, but you got the reason wrong. They are idiots because they are inconsiderate assholes that only think about themself, not because of ROI.
-
Also, kvm is a virtualization technology, its a vps. I'm not really sure what you are trying to say when you differentiate between vps and kvm but I'm pretty sure you got something wrong there.

Think of it as an airplane. If you pay for one seat, you use one seat. There is nothing stopping you from using parts of the seats next to you as well, but the people paying for those seats surely will not appreciate it and you will most likely get …

You really should do some input checking in your script. I could say that I want timezone icecream and ssh port blue and the script would accept it. It would not have the desired effect when you reboot.

(Quote) I'm not sure I agree. Other resellers probably charge more and cover their costs, Stromonic obviously did not. Judging by the offers Stromonic used to run their customers are only interested in the absolutely lowest price and will jump to wh…

(Quote) This time it kind of bugs me a bit to be honest. It is pretty obvious that Stromonics business plan did not work out. Their customers were not providing them enough revenue to be profitable. Leapswitch is a serious player, they are big and …

(Quote) Backing up entire vm's is another thing, I already have that covered.
-
(Quote) Yeah, I've been playing around with solutions like that, but I feel it does not really scale well. If new networks are created and you forgot to make a backup container for them then you miss something. It should be scriptable without too m…

They've been $0.99 for a long time, I've used numerical .xyz for years for internal stuff and testing. You cant really send emails from them and they look like shit, but they are excellent for just playing around with.

(Quote) I don't know where you ordered the stickers, but a lot of those places will let you sell them directly to other people. That way anyone could order as many stickers they want directly from the printer and you will not have to pay shipping.
-
(Quote) This is actually very good advice, playing with monitoring will give you insight into what everything does and how. For host/device monitoring, use Icinga/Nagios/Naemon or whatever. For performance metrics use node exporter or telegraf or s…

You seem to be a "learning by doing" kind of guy just like me, so my suggestion is to simply just dive right in. Pick out a bunch of projects at https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and start installing. I'm pretty sure…

(Quote) Well yes, I know how keyboard shortcuts work. I practically never touch the mouse, not even when using windows. The keyboard shortcut for desktop on Windows is Win + D. But then you minimize everything you are working on. If I have two ssh s…

You people with icons on the desktop, how do you use those? I mean, I very rarely see my desktop. I start my computer, see the desktop for like 2 seconds and then I start a bunch of applications and never see the desktop again until next reboot, whi…

(Quote) I have used a very simple php script for years to accomplish just this, I cant believe I did not think of doing it this way instead. It's just so simple it's brilliant, thank you.

(Quote) Inflation affects everything, directly or indirectly. It is likely that domain names is one of the things people will cut back on when times are tough. Less domain registrations means registrars have to have higher margins to stay profitabl…

(Quote) I manage both linux and windows servers and I run both windows and linux desktops. Only an idiot would chose the same os everywhere regardless of task, you should always use the best tool for the job.
-
(Image) Keeping it clean, everything is done with keyboard shortcuts, rarely touches the mouse. Also have a second workstation with FreeBSD on it running Enlightenment window manager that looks pretty much identical to the screenshot above. I swit…

(Quote) This is the kind of thing I was talking about. It's not the one I had in mind, but it is similar.
-
Just to clarify, I'm talking about when designing websites here, not scraping websites. It's a utility that you can point to a css file on your harddrive that is part of a website project and it will parse the file and download the dependencies. Th…
-
I might have expressed myself a bit unclear. I'm talking about webdesign here. A lot of templates and themes use webfonts or libraries that are referenced with their full URI. This utility would parse such a template/theme/website and download the c…

(Quote) If 4 visitors causes your site to use 100% cpu, I would seriously consider going trough some optimization and take a good look at what plugins you use. Seriously, it does not really matter how many visitors you think you had or if you added…
-
(Quote) Well, evidently, someone did. The stupidity of people is limitless, I'm not even surprised anymore.
-
(Quote) Technically looking, nobody has hijacked anything. You seem to have a somewhat odd definition of the term 'hijacking'. Hijacking a domain means that you seize control over it from its rightful owner, without their consent and against their w…

(Quote) Ah yes, the 1177 incident. In a followup interview, they gave this explanation: (Quote) We still use the terms "internet cable", "it got an ip" or "special command move" as jokes at work when we try to explain …

For personal use I have Nextcloud, Wallabag, Mattermost, Leantime, Paperless-ng and Jitsi. I'm not counting stuff like Icinga, PowerDNS, Graylog, Grafana, a shitload of databases and websites and similar stuff. Even if I selfhost it, it's mainly fo…

I've found hourly billing to be hard to sell to low end customers. They want to know exactly what something costs before signing anything, and hourly billing does not really fit in. I have multiple times had customers go with a fixed monthly price i…

(Quote) If someone deadpools and leave their customers hanging, I would not say that calling them out for it qualifies as "being a dick". Whether or not defending such a move would qualify as "being a dick by association" is open…

(Quote) Totally agree with above. If I pay peanuts I do not expect the provider to provide anything besides basic infrastructure. If the vps runs, they have done their part. Peoples expectation of complete handholding and teaching them how to use t…

I recently installed https://elementary.io/ on an old laptop. Haven't had time to really test it, but first impression is very good.

(Quote) Use whatever gets the job done and you feel comfortable with. Migrating should not be a problem, there are plenty of ways to convert from vmware to hyper-v images and with only 8 virtual machines you should be able to do it manually.
