Aha, I see the stats in the top screen shot, saying there are 3366 comments. If they average 1KB each (that is probably a high guess), that is just 3.3MB. Of course there is some db overhead and stuff, some static files, etc. But still, yeah, 512…

I'm surprised this board needs 2gb of memory. I wonder what is happening that is using so much. Database cache? Is the underlying disk an SSD?

(Quote) Solus is more for starting and stopping VM's and that sort of thing. You're thinking of cpanel. There are some reasnable alternatives to cpanel, like DirectAdmin (proprietary) and VestaCP (free).
-
(Quote) Wait what? You want to host VM's on an 8 core box which is maybe $50/month these days and they want another $48 for solus? Yeah ok, not gonna work. People complain about Virtualizor but there have to be more alternatives out there.

The Jackery web site says their powerbank supports "pass through" but I guess there could still be some switchover interruption. I sent them an email inquiring. It seems like a nice unit in many ways so it will be cool if it can work as …

Does anyone really have to run solus on more than a single core? Is it that slow, and have they found a way to cash in on it being slow?
-
17 is the only truly random number, so I pick it. http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/random-numbers.html
-
Why does anyone use this stuff? Do the existing alternatives have significant deficiencies? I understand how cpanel has a crapton of features, but whmcs and solus don't seem that complicated.

For 240WH, try this: https://www.jackery.com/products/explorer-240-portable-power-station They have a 300WH model coming out in a few months, that will be a little more modern, supporting USB-PD, similar to the 1000 watt model.

Lead acid is still a lot cheaper than lithium. Its disadvantages are weight and not being able to survive as many charge cycles, but both of those are less of an issue for a UPS than for a portable or energy storage application. What are you looki…

I picked up an Energizer UE10042 on sale a few months ago and it seems to come on right away although there is a button that shows the battery charge indicator. I don't know the situation about charging it with solar cells though, or using it as pa…

If you want a static site, just use a static site, either raw or using a static site generator. Stay away from anything like wordpress unless you really need it. Static is fine for most things.

Yes for interactivity use ssh-agent, and for your automation put everything behind a VLAN. The only way into the VLAN should be through a jump host that you connect to with ssh pubkey authentication.

LESbians? Sheesh, can we get rid of that? Unless we are going to have our own code repo, of course: https://www.xkcd.com/624/

There's FOSS panels out there that might or might not suffice for LEB/LES style hosting. I played with VestaCP a little and the worst thing about it was a huge CPU-intensive crypto key generation process at installation time, and I think that is fi…

Did Cogent have some kind of ARIN WHOIS access that regular users don't, that was yanked? If not, I expect they will keep finding ways to scrape the info.
-
There are tons of french videos on youtube and everywhere else. Maybe just don't bother with netflix.
-
@AnthonySmith any luck with this? Do you have some kind of setup for welding packs together? I'm wondering what you're using and am thinking of some kind of homebrew setup with a gel cell. There are some youtube vids about how to build those.
-
I did some tests on one of MikeA's 3900X VMs a couple of months ago, and commented on the LET thread at the time. It was great, beating my i7-3770 on per-core basis by a substantial margin, maybe 1.5x, I don't remember the numbers. The 4-core dedi…

(Quote) Well, 16 cores with 128gb ram is 8gb per core as mentioned, similar to the E3-12xx servers with 32gb and 4 cores that I'm used to. Those sometimes do run out of cpu, though with 16 cores it's less likely to happen by unlucky concidence of a…
-
The other thing I'd want with an offer like this is the availability of a lot of HDD storage. Something like BuyVM slices (mountable block storage) would be great, but a separate storage VPS in the same data center with fast local network and prefe…
-
(Quote) There are 2 threads per core, so 4gb per thread = 8gb per core. This is a $750 cpu ($47 per core) so it would seem a bit underconfigured with just 64gb of ram. I don't know what 32gb ecc ram modules cost these days though.
-
Sounds nice! How does the CPU load look so far, and what is the HW configuration? Assuming 128GB with VM's getting reserved memory, that's 8GB per core. It occurs to me that for this kind of product, I don't expect (or want to pay for) dedicated …
-
Well it's up to you, but I would say that unlike hosting (where the customer is dealing with the host as soon as they press an order button), with a freelancer there is no dealing taking place (i.e. no funds or work being committed) until there have…
-
(Quote) I don't think it's similar to hosting: hosts are required to have an ordering system too (or at least on LET they were). Unlike hosting, one doesn't hire a freelancer/consultant based purely on an LET offer. It's more like: contact the per…

I'm able to take on some work and obviously am ok with customers knowing my name, but would rather not have it on the site, especially on the search indexed part.
-
Does tag require putting real name on the site?
-
So what are the fallbacks? cpanel -> directadmin, does anyone miss cpanel? whmcs -> blesta, same? What about solus: is it time for stallion world dimunition domination? Anything else?
-
There have been a few other incidents where a DC kept servers alive for a while after a reseller deadpooled, so customers could retrieve their data. It just seemed like a good and thoughtful gesture.
-
It's a cute idea but tetech's reservations are well taken, and also NAT services are frequent DDOS targets and generally low end enough (many many containers per hardware node) that trying to build high availability services from them seems a bit mi…

Joepie91 is great but he should charge a lot more than he does ;-). Overall nothing against this in principle but I figure this audience is way too cheap for freelancing here to be worthwhile. I see huge amounts of money going to products that are…

(Quote) SARs are something financial service businesses (FSB's, like banks, payment service, etc) have to deal with. CC is not an FSB and the regulations don't apply to them. I don't know if they are allowed to file SARs but either way they are no…
-
Know Your Customer (KYC) and money transmission regulations in the US mean Fastspring has to know where the money is going or they can be in big trouble. They should be filing SAR's (suspicious activity reports) with the US Treasury about those pay…

The 80% is likely to hold imho. It is around that level for AWS and GCS, depending.
-
Those prices don't seem so great compared to hetzner cloud or scaleway bare metal.
-
Wonder if they're selling because the cpanel price hike backfired so they don't want it any more.
