It would be great if it could do 10 digits so it could handle a NANP phone number with area code.

I notice prgmr.com now redirects to tornadovps. No idea when that changed, if it was a name change, acquisition, or what. Also it uses Blesta on the front page now, rather than that cool ascii logo…

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 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 …

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 htt…

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 ;).

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…

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,…

My 5TB box went up from 10 euro to 11. On the other hand the USD price may be almost the same as before, because the euro/usd exchange rate has gotten lower.

Nice offer except amount of NVMe storage seems a bit low for a VM of this size. Larger allocation would be great even if it is ordinary SSD rather than NVMe.

Finland is kind of useless because there is already Hetzner Cloud there. It's maybe of more interest if it is not in the Hetzner DC. Norway has been useful to me in the past. Idk if it is still …

In principle, it shouldn't be possible to crash a whole VM just because some application runs out of memory. I wonder what is going on.

Thanked by (1)yoursunny
Is this Comcast? They intercept ports 80 and 443 of my Buffalo VPS but I can still ssh. Apparently that server's IP range is in some kind of scam of phishing blacklist.

Thanked by (1)AlwaysSkint
420 ;).

Meanwhile I got IP change notice for NYCB022. Is that still Buffalo these days? I didn't get any notices for SJC.

This being LES, I expect that for most of us, low cost dominates everything else.

Glory be, one of my SJC VPS's is back online. That's the one that has been down a few times over the past few months. The other has been down the whole time. Let's hope the upcoming DC visit helps.

It just seems nuts that people let some company host this stuff for them, instead of self-hosting. That's an awful lot of linux isos.

Hmm, maybe. It doesn't have to be vps: borg or rsync is fine. I don't see a need for ip addresses, especially v4. v6-only or shared v4 is fine for this type of thing. Raid level should not be 5. …
