(Quote) IPv4 or IPv6?
-
(Quote) Perfectly understandable! Raw data is always good.
-
(Quote) I don't mind naming names. My Inception VPS in Phoenix is worse than their other locations (London, Amsterdam), which I suspect is because they use a different (non-Clouvider) provider in that location. Similarly, UltraVPS.eu in Los Angele…
-
My experience, a lot of providers' performance varies by location. High uptime in no particular order, Inception Amsterdam, UltraVPS.eu Düsseldorf, Avoro Frankfurt, and (although they get bagged a lot) some VirMach locations are objectively very re…

Had a similar experience with LAX storage a while back, it was a bad RAID card. The end solution was that I got set up on another node and rsync'ed the data across. I ended up losing some % (maybe 5%) of the data due to corruption, which I had to …
-
(Quote) Sounds like that would work, assuming you are somehow handling failover when one region is unavailable, but a pain in the butthole - spare domains, 1 month TTL, etc. The Bunny approach seems fairly clean. At first read it seems like LUA re…
-
The pricing is good. It enables some things that are in CF paid plans - for example, if you want to have multiple backends in different areas and have the CDN pull from the closest available one, that is not free in CF, but it is pretty cheap with …
-
(Quote) I guess reducing population surveillance is not being considered as a solution.
-
(Quote) Well yes, it is obvious after reading the post that the intention is something completely different.
-
From the title I thought you were starting to offer a spam service.
-
(Quote) Hmm good question. It seems to vary a bit by location. In general I'd say "reliable" but not "rock solid". Probably in the Vultr type range of reliability. They have a "health check" system where if the conta…
-
(Quote) I actually do use fly for DNS, and it has positives - anycast for free/cheap, and the ability to hook containers up via Wireguard has proved useful. For certain use cases (like when you've got some kind of failover or retry logic in the cli…
-
(Quote) I am disappointed by fly's failover algorithm. The servers seem to go down more often than they should, which results in a "black spot" until BGP updates and a new instance starts. Then I end up with two servers in a single regio…
-
I went back and looked at my own stats for providers with > 6 months monitoring history. The following had 100% uptime in the past 6 months: Avoro (Frankfurt), UltraVPS.eu (Düsseldorf), Inception (Amsterdam), GreenCloud (Dallas, Chicago), BuyVM…

(Quote) naemon (with 4 distributed monitoring workers)
-
(Quote) Was there a particular part of Completed Orders are manually activated within 24 hours. that you didn't understand?
-
(Quote) Past 12 months on my Avoro server. (Image)
-
For my critical stuff, the truthful answer is that I use Azure. For other production-quality stuff, I've had particularly good reliability with Avoro, UltraVPS.eu and Inception (at least in Europe). If you configure LunaNode block storage as the b…
-
(Quote) Not sure how to interpret that, but I settled on it being something about a fart.
-
(Quote) I tried to resist asking what 5TB @ 1Gbps translates to in scams per second.
-
(Quote) Yeah, the basic principle is to share the free resource fairly but give users flexibility on how/where to allocate it. Another thing in the "idea bank" is to allow users to choose their balloon memory. So you can over-allocate be…
-
(Quote) I would say changing the firewall and killing network access to the container was a dumb error! :disappointed: But easily fixed. The panel now allows users to provision their own containers. The way I'll do it (at least initially) is giv…
-
First, a big thank you to @Not_Oles for testing! He's picked up several dumb errors and made good suggestions. The ability to reset networking and reinstall the LXC container (same or new template) has been added to the control panel. Still a bit…
-
(Quote) Thanks for the encouragement. I don't consider being inconspicuous a bad thing at the moment ;) That may change, but at first I'd like to do a sanity check of whether the containers work and I haven't done a major screw-up! (Quote) Thank…
-
Looking for a volunteer/sucker/guinea pig to do an initial test. Same requirements as @Neoon, * Your account needs to be 6 months old * You need to have at least 50 Posts * You need to have at least 50 Likes But I don't have a fancy bot so the in…
-
(Quote) Yeah, agreed.
-
(Quote) It blew out to at least 30 :( I had to learn the Prometheus API from scratch and after that I refactored some things.
-
Prometheus integration is working, plus the profile/preferences. Fiddled with the UI a bit, but still don't claim it is good. I'll set up a new node and optimize the memory usage a bit, then maybe it is time for someone else to take it for a test-…
-
Status this morning: * Minor changes to UI from the screenshots. A few new things like SSH key download. * Control (start/stop/restart/noVNC) is complete. * Security is mostly finished - login/out, forgot/change password, verifying permissions in …
-
(Quote) Oh, the important functionality is mostly done. Here's noVNC. (Image) To be clear, my time budget for this is around 20 hours and I've already burned a third of it, so it won't get too fancy.
-
I'm the first to admit that it won't win prizes for UI, but this is what I got so far. Stats are obviously faked, I didn't do the Prometheus connector yet. (Image) (Image)
-
I kind of decided I should whip up some type of control panel. Seems nothing works well/properly on the low-end stuff I'm running. Proxmox certainly isn't going to be suitable.
-
(Quote) The essence of it (cutting out the parameter parsing etc.): echo "CREATING CONTAINER..." DOWNLOAD_KEYSERVER="keyserver.ubuntu.com" lxc-create --vgname=vg0 -B lvm -n ${NAME} --fssize ${DISK} -t download -- -d ${DISTRO}…
-
(Quote) At least I put a routed /64 in each LXC, in this case via tunnelbroker. # ./mlxc.sh add --name=debtest2 --mem=128M --swap=256M --disk=2G --cpu=10 --distro=debian --rel=bullseyeCREATING CONTAINER...Using image from local cacheUnpacking the r…
-
(Quote) How much time do you spend dealing with tech support and/or abuse in that case? Or do your eligibility filters largely solve that. Technically, the LXC containers are already running. Potentially there's some things could be done, e.g. 6x…
-
(Quote) Thanks for the ideas. First one is no go since none of the cores are dedicated and ToS for most of the plans specifically disallows such distributed compute. Second one seems more viable. I'll look at that, thanks again for the idea.
-
(Quote) True, true.
-
(Quote) If you want to collaborate more generally on network tests in Dallas, let me know. I have 8 KVMs being actively used in Dallas at the moment. Unfortunately they are a bit concentrated at Carrier-1 but I've got a few at other DCs like Infom…

(Quote) That's irrelevant, since they're not up for transfer at this moment.
