(Quote) As far as I know, usage of TLS 1.2 and 1.3 is mandated by several security standards, and older TLS and SSL versions must be disabled (eg I think PCI-DSS may mandate this now, or soon), so older browsers/devices that only support TLS 1.1 or …

Which ISP are you using? If they don't support IPv6 in 2021, it's time to name and shame them, and set up an IPv6 tunnel :)
-
Personally I like predictable pricing so I'm not a fan of pricing models like this. I want to know exactly how much my bill will be every month. For CPU usage, I like when the host is straightforward about the limits (eg. BuyVM's lowest plan clearly…

Their Chicago deployment is very good. I'm actually pretty frustrated that I moved my HostHatch storage to Los Angeles and transferred the Chicago one to someone else because the disk speeds in Chicago are consistently 3-4x the speeds of Los Angele…

(Quote) PayPal, or if you're in the USA I can also take Zelle or Venmo, or if you're in Australia I can take a PayID payment. Someone else messaged me expressing interest, but if they pass on it, you can be next in line (if you're interested) :smil…

Do you get any error messages? It's hard to tell what's wrong when you just say it 'failed miserably' with no other info (error messages, what failed, etc) :smiley: (Quote) I recently wrote a guide for NFS over WireGuard (https://d.sb/2020/12/nfs-h…

(Quote) Oh yeah, I forgot about the pro version. I use the open source version. I think Nextcloud still lacks delta/partial syncing (if you modify a large file, only upload the parts of the file that have changed, rather than the entire file) which…
-
Out of curiosity, if it's just for files, why Nextcloud rather than Seafile? Seafile's syncing is faster and more reliable than Nextcloud. Sorry if it was already mentioned on one of the otter pages in the thread.

Maybe a long shot, but find someone willing to transfer their London HostHatch storage VPS from their recent sale? On January 21, they sent out an email about some offers with limited stock, and had a few 10TB plans in stock in Chicago, Los Angeles,…

(Quote) Some VPN providers offer port forwarding even though they use shared IPs. AirVPN provide port forwarding, up to 20 ports per customer, and the ports are reserved for you across all their servers. It's not like some other providers where the…

For lightweight, self-hosted analytics, there's also https://umami.is/ (Quote) Yeah I recently wrote a post about sharing storage with NFS and WireGuard: https://d.sb/2020/12/nfs-howto (Quote) Make sure the files are owned by the same UID you're t…

(Quote) I've got https://d.ls/ too! haha

Oops, sorry, I should have included a link!

I use Borgbackup via Backupninja, and take daily backups. I've been using backupninja for maybe 10 years now... It's basically a shell script to help with automating backups. Handles a bunch of things like dumping MySQL databases. Works pretty well …

Netlify is very good! We're using it for the Yarn (https://yarnpkg.com/), React (https://reactjs.org/), and Babel (https://babeljs.io/) sites. One of the features that I love is that if your site is on Github, pull requests get a link to a preview v…

(Quote) They'd have a ridiculous amount of cache contention (https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/what-is-cloudflare/ says 26 million sites use Cloudflare), so the caches definitely aren't warm for many users of the free plan, particularly if the sit…

Flippa is decent for buying/selling domains.

(Quote) Buffalo. Would have been nice to get a server in San Jose as that's very close to where I live at the moment. I've actually got two servers from Black Friday 2018. The one that I mentioned earlier, and one with the same processor, 8 GB RAM …
-
This is a really good post. Thanks for detailing your experiences!
-
(Quote) I hear this a lot about VirMach, but one of the best performing VPSes I've got is with VirMach, from their 2018 Black Friday sale. It's a beast of a server though: 4 vCores @ 3 GHz, 10 GB RAM and 120 GB SSD.
-
The script looks pretty good... Nice work. (Quote) I've got WireGuard running on a 256 MB KVM with no issues. On Linux, at runtime it's just a kernel module so the memory requirements are lower than other VPN apps that need userland apps to be runn…
-
A while back I was looking for a storage VPS for backups, and one of the providers I tried out had such absolutely horrible disk I/O performance. An fio benchmark returned a result of 0.58 MB/s. I think the IDE hard drive I had in my first computer …

(Quote) When I was doing my initial prototyping, I couldn't get BoringTun working on OpenVZ: https://github.com/cloudflare/boringtun/issues/90. Seems like the issue I had was fixed though, I just haven't tried it again since Wireguard-go is working …
-
(Quote) Not 100% sure but I have a feeling this won't work on OpenVZ due to how it configures the network device, and you'll need to try it on KVM instead.

(Quote) (Image) Is that "All services are operational" banner just hard-coded? lol ???

Original comment from LET, from an employee of Heymann (who Hostdoc were using): (Quote) https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3081113/#Comment_3081113

(Quote) Someone once asked me why their computer was so slow... They had four different anti-virus programs installed. "I got a virus once, so I installed a few antiviruses to make my protection even better".
-
(Quote) I've heard that CGNAT is relatively popular in various European countries, and in China. On the other hand, a lot of the American phone carriers are almost exclusively IPv6 now... T-Mobile is ~95% IPv6, using NAT64 to connect to legacy (IPv4…
-
(Quote) You could get a HE Tunnelbroker IPv6 tunnel and set that up on your laptop :) (Quote) I think it's possible (tunnelling 'public' IPv6 over WireGuard), not sure though. I just use it for a point-to-point VPN, connecting a bunch of VPSes toge…
-
(Quote) For all my NAT VPSes, I'm using the IPv6 addresses (in general I use only IPv6 for inbound connections to NAT VPSes). You could use the IPv4 as long as you use a port number in your NAT port range, but I found it easier to use IPv6 so that e…

(Quote) You're very unlikely to hit that in real life though - Usually you have far more reads vs writes, except in some particular cases (eg. a database server could be write-heavy if it's primarily for transactions instead of analytics).

(Quote) Indeed it is, even for legacy OpenVZ6: (Image) You can see a full list of supported kernels here: https://patches.kernelcare.com/

(Quote) The great thing with Grafana is that you can combine multiple servers into a single graph :) (Image) I'm scraping data from Netdata into Prometheus, but haven't had time to set it up on all my VPSes yet.
