Very. The assumption is that you'd run this on dedis, VDS with unlimited CPU usage per ToS, or owned hardware (e.g., homelab). Don't run F@H on a LES NAT VPS, just ... don't

The probability of not winning any of the next drawings from 2k-10k is (untested python): numpy.prod( 1.0 - 1.0 / r for r in range( 2000, 11000, 1000 ) ) So the probability of winning at least one of those drawings is 1 minus that. Comes out to ab…

Yep, just touch /option.netfilter and wait at most half an hour for the host cron job to pick it up. The file will then be renamed to /netfilter.enabled, container will reboot on its own, and you'll be good to go. There's also /option.fuse and /opt…

You are too kind, WSS! My expertise is not in hosting (nor is it surveillance!), so I have learned a lot from this community over the years.

I have not used solar powered cameras. Everything I've seen points to sticking with PoE. For power, the daily charge/discharge can be taxing on batteries. For data, local-only storage is useless if it gets stolen / destroyed, and WiFi tends to flake…

Dahua 2MP with Sony StarVis sensor. Can see in pitch dark, it's like magic. (Some of the Swanns are rebranded OEM Dahua.) Andy at EmpireTech, drop him a line on ipcamtalk or his AliExpress store; his Amazon prices tend to be higher. Also, BlueIris …

Wallabag (on the above list) seems to be popular

Selling the old hardware for cheap? :wink:

As an end user, I find lobster (LunaNode's panel) a beauty to use. I don't know about WHMCS integration or monthly/annual billing, though. https://github.com/LunaNode/lobster

Can vouch for IonSwitch in Seattle; network and uptime have been solid. I haven't need to use support much, but they've always been prompt and courteous as far as I can tell. I appreciate their slow and measured approach to expansion.
-
It's OpenNebula; if your plan has the resources to support it, you can create multiple VMs. ISO upload is in there.
-
https://k3s.io/ Kubernetes for the edge. I'm working on an ansible role to install it on top of debian; this is my plan to run it on my fleet of VPSes. Sticking with KVM >1GB for now. K3s uses sqlite instead of etcd, so no HA server yet (they're…

Ok then: * Best LES provider: IonSwitch * Best non-LES provider: OVH
-
* IonSwitch 2. DRServer mod edit: fail.

Enterprise pull equipment can be so cheap. Instead of paying for a support contract with same-day replacement, just buy two or three spares! (Yes, I know corporate procurement doesn't work like that. But in a SME situation where you can directly ma…
-
I understand, my point is that these old boxes are so cheap nowadays that you can pick one up for a dedicated firewall and put your M4 to work with a hypervisor. You can have a second failover instance of PFSense (with CARP) on a VM if you like, bu…

And after you learn iptables, now you can learn the "new hotness" that is nftables....
-
R210ii, HP T620plus, T730, M73/M93p SFF, X9SCM/L in a little 1U, lots of options. These are all old tech, but will do very well as dedicated PFSense boxes. For the SFF and thin clients, make sure there's space to add a $20 PCIe NIC.
-
The cutover to nftables default is such a pain. Kubernetes also requires reverting to iptables-legacy.
-
Do you need it to be new with a support contract? If not, used Dell 5324 is dirt cheap and has everything you list except for 10G uplink. To add 10G uplink, Aruba S2500-24T. There are lots of these sort of EOL managed gigabit switches around as e…

For debian, in addition to what you've listed: git, rsync, locales, apt-transport-https. Perhaps bash, but dash may well be sufficient. Nowadays, just ssh and apt are enough for ansible to install everything else I'd need.
-
This would be awesome! I never considered that it might actually work.
-
Yep, that was my conclusion regarding gluster, as well. I have my doubts ceph would tolerate long latency, either. Maybe it could work if I segment VPSes into geo-regions of latency less than 40ms.
-
I enforce that all server and app config is managed and tracked in git, and all data is in storage buckets that can easily be backed up with common tools like borg. If a server dies, reinstall the OS, hit it with ansible, and restore data from backu…

In the past year, I've started getting into home labbing and now have around 70c/140t in a 36U rack, plus some pretty nifty switches. I thought that would decrease my annual spend on VPSes, but somehow it has only increased....
-
Oh, it's like the old quarterly Top Provider contests! * Kimsufi: I'm sorry, I know OVH is the behemoth everyone loves to hate, but I have an i5 that has been good to me, and I will never ever let it go (as long as they don't raise the price too mu…

I admire the effort you put into tracking CC's various shell hosts, and I am indignant at their blatant scamming, but at this point I am just tired of the drama on the old forum, even from a schadenfreude kind of view.
-
I didn't get many new servers this time, mostly just renewed BF deals from previous years. I'm still undecided whether it was better to renew my HostHatch 2.5TB in LA or switch to a 3TB in Chicago. I tracked VirMach's algorithmic deals for a bit, …
-
(Quote) Yeah, that was my plan, too -- consolidate over a dozen small VPSes into one nice dedi. Now I still have a dozen idling VPSes, plus multiple idling dedis....
-
Doesn't AlphaVPS use CC for their LA location? So you'd put Alex on your blacklist, too, even his UK/Clouvider location?
-
Also, just to note that VirMach is not exclusively CC, e.g., at their Seattle location.
-
My small VirMach idlers (mostly just for VPN) have been very stable, probably because they have such strict processes in place for abusers. Consequently, I don't use them for anything remotely CPU-intensive. You would have been nuts not to have go…

I have less need for EU VPSes nowadays, but in the past had only good experiences with LiteServer. Excellent support.

Very nice offers; this is too good to pass up!
