I agree with FAT32's suggested condensed format for notifications, also easy for scripts to parse.
-
Yep! I don't have an exhaustive list of their eBay accounts / storefronts, but at least rhinotechnology and core4solutions are. https://www.core4solutions.com/about-core-4-solutions
-
SuperMicro's use (in some lines) of standard form factors like SSI-EEB make it easier to swap parts and frankenserver when needed.
-
To vouch for Core4/Rhino, over in ServerBuilds.net (Discord and Discourse) we've had lots of positive feedback from many forum members using Rhino for used storage, motherboards, HBAs, and complete systems. Great folks to work with.
-
I quite liked Seattle and hope it works out with Sabey. I don't at all mind losing backups or changing IP; I can easily reinstall from ansible.
-
Great write-up; very ambitious to cover such a broad scope for the lay reader! In the buying recommendations, I'd add a paragraph about used enterprise SAS HDDs. In the US at least, the prices are so good ($90/12TB) that even if you conservatively …
-
I am in definitely in favour of holding off on further deals until things stabilise a bit. I'm confident you'll pull through this season with your head above water, and once you're ready with the capacity, we'll be ready for your deals!
-
if you're ok with the decreased availability and just need to manage multiple sshfs mounts as one, consider mergerfs.
-
Distributed FS like Tahoe or MooseFS, or distributed DB / key-value store like Cockroach or Cassandra. If you want them to be safe, they're generally not going to be fast. Ceph, gluster, minio, etc. all are designed for within a single site (stret…

I use old AeroHive APs; Omada, UniFi, and Aruba IAP are fine, too. OPNSense on an old Lenovo m73 (4th gen uSFF). Lots of options for old enterprise gigabit PoE switches: I use an Enterasys C3-series; Juniper EX-4200, Aruba S2500, and ICX6450 are g…

Just wanted to say I'm glad the mess is looking more manageable; great job pulling through!
-
(Quote) I'm a mod at ServerBuilds.net, and both sellers have posted deals for our community. OceanTech has a rep on our Discord; higher-capacity drives are in high demand, but I know they have over a thousand 2TB/3TB SAS spinners, and multiple thou…
-
Spinners still generally follow the bathtub curve, and heat / vibration is a bigger killer than just use. I have many drives with 30-50k hrs power-on time, but only 1-2 drive writes total. In other words, they've been spinning constantly but rarel…

Get a cheap SAS2 HBA; used SAS drives are cheaper than SATA. 8TB/10TB for as low as $6/TB from RhinoTech, OceanTech, and others. LSI SAS2008-based cards (9211, M1015, H200, etc.) or 2308-based (9207, 2208) flashed to IT mode, or Adaptec 7805 (and …
-
OPNSense or pfsense on a cheap corporate SFF desktop like OptiPlex 3020, Lenovo m73, etc.? (Those are super old 4th-gen chips; newer is fine, too.) Add a I340-T2 or I350-T2 PCIe NIC. Separate AP.
-
There are a gazillion uSFF (1L, tiny/mini/micro) corporate desktops on ebay; 7th gen is super cheap now, e.g., m710q. Anything of that gen or later, even the little 2c Celerons, has QSV and can transcode 26 simultaneous 1080p h.264 streams without …
-
I agree with the article that 12VO should be relegated to ITX or low-power appliances; if any component needs 5v or 3.3v, it's more efficient and modular to do the stepdown in the PSU rather than on the board. I'm also confused about what the propo…
-
Hey you're here, Ash! I did enjoy ZX while it lasted, and I knew you tried your best to recover.
-
(Quote) That's exciting! I assume you have enough nodes that you can lose a few without going HEALTH_WARN; the stress of heavy scrubbing on a live cluster can quickly cause cascading issues. Some of us still remember ZXHost....

Non-standard port, keys only, no root, raymii's cipherlist.eu, whitelist to two jumphosts on different providers. No whitelist when sshing via wireguard.

WD shucks for SATA: https://shucks.top/ Used SAS, lower capacity but cheaper per TB: https://bitdeals.tech/

In my experience, the solution is to migrate backups as the technology shifts. I've used URBackup, BackupPC, burp, etc., each for many years, and each time redid full backups when migrating. I didn't keep the history with incremental diffs. Impor…
-
(Quote) Oh, see, my GDrive just happens to be full of thousands of my home movies, each one exactly 64GiB of static!
-
In the US at least, shucking does not void warranty; folks have shipped the bare drive back to WD and gotten warranty replacements. My previous post included a link to a price-tracking site for shucks; I believe 12TB or 14TB is the sweet spot for $…
-
This is a very common use-case over at ServerBuilds, and a number of whitebox NAS builds would be suitable. E.g., $40 LGA1155 board in a large case like RSV-L4500 (15 bays) using SAS2 HBA and either cheap SAS spinners ($10/TB) or WD shucks (MyBook/…
-
No worries, I'll take that as a compliment, as @cam 's been a conscientious provider; I've had a NAT box with him for a long time!
-
Sorry, still not quite following! The only Cam I can think of is Gullo's Hosting, who's definitely not me!
-
I haven't found a lot of other people using burp. Came out of the dev's master's thesis: tiered incremental, chunk-level dedup with definable cross-client pools, resumeable. Primarily Linux, but there's a windows version using VSS.

(Quote) My apologies; I must have misunderstood. I thought you were asking if my account region was in Central America (CAM), sorry if that wasn't what you were asking!
-
(Quote) Is there a way to check which region my account is in? It's been a while, but I think I signed up on the .ie site. Billing is in euros.
-
Excellent, thanks!
-
How does transferring servers work with Kimsufi? Do we have to transfer the whole account, or can we just ticket to transfer a single server? I might let go of my old 3C (3570, 2TB) at some point.
-
You want the wg connection to go through one specific WAN interface? One way is to add a static route for the remote wg peer via the desired WAN gateway.
-
Also, we don't have a lot of <$30 dedis here in N.America. If/when Hetzner offers SB in Ashburn, that could change the game.
-
Can confirm; I ordered one on 1-month, went through the motions of renewing, and the rate is still 15EUR/mo. I'm seeing about 200Mbps in and 100Mbps out, even from BHS-3 to BHS-1. Motherboard is X9SRE/X9SRI. Drives have 39k and 41k hrs; HUS724020…
-
On the KS-LE, "special offer valid for entire commitment duration" means non-recurring, right? So prepay for 1 year and get the discounted price for 1 year, but the second year reverts to higher pricing?
-
I like the community around OPN more than that around PFS, but functionally they're very similar. PFS acquiesced on dropping support for non-AES-NI CPUs. ERX is cheap and functional as fw but not terribly powerful as a router, as others have said.…
