I've never gotten 1G between storage box and a Hetzner dedi but I haven't tried recently. Maybe they upgraded Storage Box. Main alternative I know of in anything like that price range is Servarica, or some Hosthatch promos. BF is coming so that m…

(Quote) This is way too expensive to be interesting. Hetzner Storage Box is a little over $2 per TB in the larger sizes, and it is raid 6. Storage Share is raid 6 and backed up daily and supports nextcloud, and is around $3 per TB.

20 megabit shared uplink? Lol. The few hundred watts from the machine will not heat your house somewhere. I do know someone who heated his house with bitcoin mining, but he had a big setup in the era when gpu mining was profitable. He was probab…

(Quote) Abuser took that long to notice ban and make a new account for more coin mining.

(Quote) Dynadot itself is not the registry? I think they are the registry for some TLD's. Idk about .ONE. What are the cheapest recurring domains now? I don't like Dynadot because of their shenanigans with .TK etc, but they are out there.

(Quote) Outside the GFW while still having good connectivity to China.

(Quote) Yes, sounds preferable to keep it as simple as possible. Re multiple accounts, is SMS confirmation useless for this sort of thing?
-
Nice offer except amount of NVMe storage seems a bit low for a VM of this size. Larger allocation would be great even if it is ordinary SSD rather than NVMe.
-
(Quote) I was able to reboot ok and finish the upgrade. It's a 768MB VM, and I've been able to upgrade much smaller ones. Debian is way less memory hungry than Ubuntu. No idea what went wrong. I was expecting an openssl patch for a critical vuln…

Anyone notice if SJC2005 just went offline? My VPS crashed during an apt-get upgrade and I half remember something like that happening before and it was the whole node going out. I haven't yet tried rebooting through control panel but will attempt…

Ok, sent a little while ago.

Thanks, I opened a ticket with Hosthatch about this. I can PM you the ticket number for confirmation wth them.
-
Wow this is great, was it some kind of special? I'm interested but I don't use paypal. I was going to suggest cash or MO by snail mail but hmm, you are in Europe? Maybe Hosthatch could let me add funds via CC to your Hosthatch account? This pri…

(Quote) He said he'd had a lot of downtime and gotten poor ticket response, and in his rant's first few words, he complained about VM doing BF offers instead of fixing existing problems. Lots of us have had downtime and those us who have been aroun…

(Quote) Lots of people are using odroid so that might be a reasonable choice. I wonder about pine64.

I thought the issue was getting enough of the SOC chips from Broadcom. I hope they will switch to another supplier for the pi 5 whenever that is. They have deep roots with Broadcom but Broadcom is a crappy company. Meanwhile, there is no shortage…

(Quote) Probably better to not tip the idiots off too much.

I think there were some pretty stringent cpu restrictions in the past, but with stuff migrated to ryzen cpus these days, cpu is more plentiful. I have been in the habit of not running anything on virmach vps's that uses more than a few seconds of c…

* There is a site https://rpilocator.com/ that tracks all the usual resellers and alerts you if there is a stock drop somewhere, though they always sell out fast. * The different sellers like adafruit, pishop.us etc. usually have a "notify me…

Yes, 4's are very hard to get and I didn't realize 3's were even being manufactured. Easiest is to get a 400 which is basically a 4 with a keyboard.

(Quote) Thanks for the tip about this, it is a good deal, but I think it is Texas only. They charge $3.50 extra for a board-powered USB HDD or $7.50 for one that needs additional power, iirc. Info here: https://my2.dataideas.com/store/addons

Well you'd put the laptop disk into an SFF PC like a NUC or whatever the current version is called. Rpi 4's are impossible to find these days, and don't meet the cpu requirement which I assume is for transcoding.
-
I wonder if you can do a small colo somewhere. 4tb is a laptop disk these days.
-
Well I didn't mean circumvent, I meant something more like "ask nicely", but yeah an independent smaller provider would be great. Scaleway is pretty big. There are a few others whose names I don't remember. It feels like this stuff has …
-
If you've been out of Hetzner for a while, I wonder if it is possible to apply for reinstatement. Storage Box is hard to beat, and if you can connect it to a non-Hetzner VPS, that might help stay out of trouble with Hetzner.
-
(Quote) If this is for backups maybe you could use a slice plus scaleway glacier storage. If it's for media and you're really adding 1-2TB/mo then you probably have to up your requirements.
-
Go a little bigger? Scaleway EM-L101X-SATA, 1x Intel Xeon E5 1410 v2, 96 GB ECC ram, 2 x 6 TB HDD, 1 Gbit/s, €39.99/month. https://www.scaleway.com/en/elastic-metal/lithium/

Finland is kind of useless because there is already Hetzner Cloud there. It's maybe of more interest if it is not in the Hetzner DC. Norway has been useful to me in the past. Idk if it is still available from anyone. Other than that, idk. For…

(Quote) Well, data recovery is one of the more frequent whining points, so decreasing the friction might get rid of some of that. Even if it's not completely automated, you could have a simple shell script that bundles up the files from a suspended…
-
I don't have in me to read all these past few 100s of messages but one thing that might help is on suspension, to automatically create a tarball of the user data on an ftp/scp server or similar, so the user can get the data without a bunch of manual…

I've had a few .us and not gotten significant spam as far as I could tell. I do get normal phone spam but it doesn't seem related to web design or domains.

(Quote) I don't know what GB5 benchmark is, but they have some fairly modern 1 socket servers that are probably as fast as older dual socket ones, so I thought maybe that could work for you. I was more doubtful about BYOIP. Idk if they support tha…

I have a .nu at nameisp.com and haven't gotten any such request.

It looks like you can fit that out at Hetzner pretty easily: https://www.hetzner.com/sb?ram_from=256 and add storage.
