(Quote) It's about 40euro/m for 10TB and you don't get anything like 1gbps transfer from it, especially when mounting it as a file system. Other than that, it works pretty well. I have 5TB there and use Borg for backup these days, so I don't have …

It would be great if it could do 10 digits so it could handle a NANP phone number with area code.
-
Thread says "cheaper than Contabo" as if that's a good thing, but it makes me expect the VPS to be crap.
-
Hourly billing is great but for it to be an on-demand product, you have to have stock available all the time, which means you need idle capacity and higher prices. People who spin up an hourly VM may also have heavy cpu requirements while the VM is…

Always prefer self-hosting. "apt-get install gitit" is simplest way to have a self-hosted wiki. No database-- it uses git as the version control backend.
-
I've only seen this happen on the one specific operation of apt-get upgrade.
-
I doubt the OOM killer was involved in that crash. I had almost nothing running on the VM when I did the upgrade. Plus, I just did the same upgrade on a similarly configured 384MB VM and it didn't crash. Something seems weird about the 768MB VM o…

I see 255MB of swap, but don't understand why any at all should be needed. In the great early LES days, I had Debian boxes as small as 32MB, though they were OpenVZ. I had a 256MB KVM for a while though, and have a 384MB now.

Had another incident of apt-get upgrade wedging my VPS. (Edited) I was able to succesfully reboot from client area, but this happening repeatedly makes me think something is busted at the other end. I don't think this can be the VM running out of …

I'm in western US so mostly would want to be near here. I wobbled between LA and Dallas in the poll. LA is closer but I already have some storage there, so a different location would help resillience in case of an earthquake or the like. So, I pi…
-
Your current location is good. Put the money into more disk drives for your storage plans instead. ;)
-
My HH storage vps in LA is working fine, uptime 135 days.
-
Hey, congrats on the new location. I'm looking forward to storage boxes in the US too. I've been worrying a little bit about European providers and hope everyone is holding up ok over there, and that electricity stays available and affordable for …

(Quote) I think that would have been written in the 1960s or 70s. Stuff was much different then. Are you trying to learn actual PLT, or just pick up some languages? PLT is an abstract and pointy headed subject compared to most programming. Langu…
-
PLT is a totally different subject than PL software. The main post-2000 development I know of is homotopy type theory (HoTT). What is that? I don't know either, but there is a book about it at https://github.com/HoTT/book . All the other pointy …

What does this actually do? Is it a replacement for WHMCS? What language is it written in? Thanks.
-
I've written a considerable amount of FOSS code. Some as a volunteer, but I got paid for some, so in that sense I've contributed a negative amount of money ;).
-
I'm fine with v6-only. Everything I want to back up has v6, so I don't need v4.
-
On the BF customization screen it looks like NVMe space is just $10 per 2 years for 100GB. Is that intentional? It seems too good to be true. I presume I can't get it as an upgrade for my existing VPS though. Oh well. Btw it would be nice to be…
-
Nice, Killer Whale still seems like the most enticing offer, and it has been around for a while. If I get it on monthly, can I later switch it to annual?
-
Threadtitle should say OnlyOffice (which I had never heard of before) rather than OpenOffice. I wondered why the hell OpenOffice was offering any type of license. Up til recently it had been a FOSS suite of desktop apps, later forked into LibreOff…
-
The one I saw was from letsencrypt, which makes me think "apt install certbot" could help ;).

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) Yes, sounds preferable to keep it as simple as possible. Re multiple accounts, is SMS confirmation useless for this sort of thing?
