I strongly recommend that you separate the VPS provider and the offsite backups to two independent entities. I would also verify the restore process before you go live. It is no fun to troubleshoot restore issues while the system is down. Just ask t…

My first provider was YourDomainGoesHere (YDGH) which was run by @corey. That was over 12 years ago. Later I had another VPS from Corey through BitAccel. Sadly, BitAccel shut its doors in 2021. Hats off to Corey for great service and helping me boo…

(Quote) I won't argue with your comment. At the time, I was tired of bot-generated useless comparison websites, so I thought that the real people here might have experience . You saw the results, so I never tried that again.

Asked and answered. To me, this offer did not seem unusual or special, which is why I asked. Thanks.

This is just another one of those bait-n-switch loss leaders that automatically charge your credit card every year for a software product that you deleted and have not used for years. When my father-in-law passed away, it was very difficult for my m…

(Quote) True, but if you switched to Cloudflare to get "at cost" domain renewal fees, then it would take many many domains before the registration fee savings covers that $250 per month. Otherwise, it does not make much sense to me.

Cloudflare offers domain registrar services, but you must use Cloudflare as the authoritative DNS servers for your domain. In return, they register and renew domain registrations at their cost. You must decide whether the financial benefits are wort…

Can people in Iran access ordinary VPNs outside the country? Do they know how to make sure that the authorities are not playing "man in the middle"? Do VPN providers need to provide services in a non-standard way to bypass restrictions? D…

Hmm. I thought that an "ssh machine" plays "ssh ... ssh ... ssh ... ssh ..." Sounds that help you sleep better.

(Quote) I think of analog computers as really old technology that never went anywhere. I played with an analog computer when I was a kid, but it was a useless toy. Can you provide a link to a summary article about this future transition to analog? …

Bump. The weekend is past us, and maybe someone will notice this thread and show interest or take pity. See my post above. Feel free to join in or send me a PM if you have experience (with netboot.xyz and iPXE in particular) and are willing to answ…

(Quote) ... but a very timely one for me! I am so happy it appeared! I have been working on this exact same problem all week. -> Check out the netboot.xyz website. They have automated many of the steps described above. It is one of the "pro…

(Quote) @rcy026 is 100% correct. I started reading RFC 2131 this morning. It did not take long to find the paragraphs that confirm rcy026's assertion. Here are the relevant paragraphs from page 7 of RFC 2131: "The following list gives design g…

I am not ignoring you. Give me a chance to read the RFC carefully, and I will give you a better response. Be patient.

(Quote) Fair enough. It has been a very long time since I looked at the DHCP RFC. I just pulled the Stevens book off the shelf. It is too old, so it barely mention DHCP (and refers to RFC 1541, now obsolete). -> Can you point me to a specific par…

(Quote) I will accept the "conspiracy theorist" title for this instance. Let me say that having a consistent IP address that does not change over a period of months (or years) makes it easier for third-party tracking, too. It may not be on…

The dynamic IP address for our home never changes. It survives power outages of longer than half a day, and survives separate reboots of the modem and firewall. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I felt that it had to be giving the ISP some kind of…
