(Quote) If you use shared IP, my experience is SES > SendGrid > Mailgun > Mailchimp for deliverability. In fact my mail server flags anything from Mailchimp since there is so much abuse. SendGrid is becoming almost as bad.
-
(Quote) Yes, they are going out in batches, I have been getting them from Jan 30 until today on behalf of different charities I do stuff for.
-
Actually the email to me was slightly different: (Quote) From this paragraph It is not clear to me whether sub-$0.50 amounts accumulate or get reset. If anything under $0.50 gets thrown away then it is like 625 free messages per month.
-
Mailgun deliverability was bad using shared IPs. I first switched to SendGrid (25,000 free/month via Azure). In the end I abstracted each provider to a PHP class so that changing provider just means changing a symbolic link.

(Quote) Especially if your httpd has a one-child policy.

It is simplest to host some pictures of tanks in Tienanmen Square at the IP.
-
Yes. I download IP ranges from not just China but a bunch of countries and do scorched-earth in iptables.
-
CentOS mostly due to years of familiarity + Alpine due to memory. Ideology aside, if you're familiar with one and know how to make it secure and tune the performance, then stick with it unless there's a need to change.
-
(Quote) Understood. It would be better to have 3 x 3 GB ploop devices than swap actually. They are only needed temporarily. That is, allocate them, I'll start with a CentOS template and convert it to Alpine, shut the container down, and then you …

(Quote) It is Mikho's looking glass IP, so probably no privacy issue at least with that IP.
-
(Quote) Who is "you"? @mikho looks like your test IP. Anyway, because the test IP is not blocked doesn't mean the VPS IP is not blocked.
-
(Quote) If you lend me a VM with 1 GB of swap for a day, I can most likely make you an Alpine template.
-
(Quote) The regular price for 1 month of the 1 GB is $3.50, which is basically what LunaNode would charge and less than Vultr. Why not do that as a trial?
-
(Quote) I found and applied the code, and it showed the $6 recurring in the cart, but then generated an invoice for $17.50. D'oh! Maybe others used it up while I was checking out? @ionswitch_stan can you just cancel 3324699964?
-
(Quote) I'd take it if recurring! But since @iandk asked I think only fair for him to get it.
-
Just wondering if any chance of an Alpine linux template getting added?
-
(Quote) From the DHCP server's perspective there's either a reservation or there isn't. If there's no reservation and a lease expires then you have no guarantee. So you need to either (a) set a short lease and not switch off the VM, (b) set a long…
-
The solution is to set the lease time to a low value. A VM that is running will renew its lease before it expires.

(Quote) Sent.

(Quote) Exactly, I am not looking for someone who is good at choosing page builder themes. That's already been tried where someone hooks something off the internet and passes it off as their work product. To make that absolutely clear: NO page bui…

(Quote) Replied via PM

(Quote) That is fine if we can raise a support ticket and ask them to install a Wordpress plugin for us, if they take care of all security updates and patches to WP and plugins, etc.
-
(Quote) Thanks, but looking for something a bit more custom than page/theme builders, and willing to pay a graphic designer for that. Probably makes it a bit different from the other thread.
-
(Quote) Organization has members globally. US or western Europe preferred.
-
I'm reorganizing and will probably dump some stuff after that. Too much in the USA (especially Atlanta). Right now I've got something in the $10-12/yr range to dump in Atlanta but nothing under $5.
-
(Quote) I don't currently cycle keys automatically on boot. My scenario is a bit different. I have a partition with LXC containers which is what is encrypted.
-
(Quote) * iptables filters out everything not in my DNS zone files. 2. The requesting VPS passes a device key, key=$( curl -fs -H "X-LXC-Id: ${devicekey}" "${keyservapi}/getkey" ). 3. The keyserver returns a 403 if either the d…
-
(Quote) No, I'm doing it differently.
-
I use LUKS and pull the encryption key from a keyserver on boot via https. This way I do not have to manually intervene after a reboot, the password is not stored on the VM itself, and to revoke I delete the DB entry in the keyserver. Of course wh…
-
(Quote) Please feel free to take first crack at it. I'll put a few hours into it if you draw a blank.
-
(Quote) For orphans you can probably do something like orphans="" ; for r in $( rpm --query -a ) ; do d=$( rpm -qR ${r} | wc -l ) ; if [[ "${d}" -eq "0" ]] ; then orphans="${orphans} ${r}" ; fi ; done (just fr…
-
(Quote) I don't know of an easy way. My script has a 'whitelist' of minimal packages, and does a rpm --query -a then builds a list of what to remove based on the difference. The annoying thing about this is I have to add all the dependencies into …
-
(Quote) I hate firewalld and try to get rid of it. For me iptables makes it easier to manage scripts across different distros. Generally less is better. If you've got wget, yum, which, rpm then pretty much anything else people want can be added b…
