(Quote) That's comforting. I tried the free tier of loader.io before, but that doesn't have sufficient firepower & the paid one starts at 100 bucks. So current plan is to using azure server(s) with siege. Raw throughput between the two is good …

(Quote) hmm. Very tempted to upgrade my home internet to 1gbps and use this to offset some of the 35 bucks price diff....

Nope. I clever enough to know when I don't understand something...(and won't without massive time investment)
-
(Quote) Interesting. I knew some VPNs leverage home broadband but didn't know you could sell it. Mind sharing a bit more details?
-
Ouch. Happens I guess I'd sorta expect the backup software to have verification included? e.g. I know one of the drives in my NAS is bad because duplicati has been complaining about hashsums failing (It randomly picks one archive to verify on each …

(Quote) Up to a point. Some of it def makes me uncomfortable
-
(Quote) Still haven't learned the correct answer to "does this make me look fat"?
-
(Quote) That's pretty cool. Not scared of a 3 letter agency busting down your door because someone did something shady via your box? (Quote) @AlwaysSkint said: (Quote) That looks useful. Bit of googling suggests you can add comments to rules and t…

(Quote) Be glad. All the Rammstein lyrics are a little sketch so understanding it doesn't necessarily improve the song

(Quote) Wow. It even support onedrive. I've got a spare 1tb onedrive. Amazing

One gotcha - 1 device vs 5
-
(Quote) Thanks mate. That is indeed much cheaper

Nginx isn't gonna work cause it learns. Ie it temporarily blacklists servers tgat 404. So if you request files in quick succession it might blacklist server a cause file isn't there and then second file that is on server a can't be access cause sti…

@Ympker. Yeah might just grab a ivacy sub. Their 5 year one is priced well and solves some other problems for me (parents want German TV) If you have a referral code send me one. If its compatible with the deal I'll use it
-
(Quote) @WSS Well the thinking is to get as close to immersion as possible. Plus I suck at learning langs so so need all the help I can get lol
-
Hmm. Might just have to pony up for a vpn then (sigh)
-
@uptime fair point on not discussing it. I've got a vpn provider already (PIA) but after recent bullsht I'm kinda over giving them cash. Seems like one of the shadiest things on the Internet Might need to set up a script and try a few places. But …

(Quote) You miss my point. A 2019 BF deal will get you way better specs than a 2012 BF deal. The 2012 will still work but it's no longer optimal That said there is some inertia. I expect to support my two provider for a while cause I can't be arsed…

(Quote) Uhm. Have all da things. Nah I guess Alpine is just irritating me cause docker and not used to non Ubuntu stuff. I get the thinking and understand that I'm in the wrong (if deployed at scale) but at the learning stage the bare bones approa…
-
(Quote) LOL no 16 ramses not hdd In fairness that was a wicked once off special so calling it LES compliant is a stretch (thanks @nseries) Point is ram is no longer in short supply
-
(Quote) Alpine is irritating me frankly because it's taking this too far. Cutting usability to save megabytes just doesn't work for me in an era where a 16gb vps is LES compliant
-
Right so uptime speaks German. The rest are well versed in Hollywood's idea of evil German villain
-
Ubuntu. Familiarity and lots of tutorials out there for everything
-
(Quote) No I mean: (Quote) Didnt really mean it as commentary on this particular deal - I'm sure it's great & frankly didn't look at it too closely. The concept of a three year term (with specs pinned down now) just strikes me as weird in gener…
-
3 years? Bit long given how fast tech advance, no?
-
(Quote) No its not. Youre not relying on obscurity for safety. You're running the exact same security as normal. But moving it to a non 22 port. Its a additional step on top of normal security measures that happens to cut login attempts dramatical…
-
(Quote) I get what you're saying but don't agree 100%. Cutting down bot attempts from 100s to near zero has to have some security benefit
-
Anybody doing anything fancy with specific IPs? I've been toying with the idea of doing a dynamic dns type thing which tweaks firewall rules on the fly Or alternatively blocking all countries except mine. I know iptables can do this via bulk rule i…
-
Basically as per @ouvoun except Python3 not 2 I'd actually run the apt upgrade. Not sure why it's commented out The firewall config section is broken. It's setting up the rules but never actually enabling the firewall. Add a ufw enable And you'…
-
Seems rather expensive. ublock + pihole + noscript for me
-
(Quote) Yup. 20:1 is the norm locally Fortunately people caught on and ISPs started declaring it in marketing info. i.e. Normal we guarantee sub 20, pay for pro and it's 10
-
(Quote) Interesting. Never saw numbers for it. The pricing diffs seem smaller than those suggest though
-
I avoid it like the plague due to increased risk of overselling - which goes hand in hand with what Anthony said. Vcpu in that concept becomes a very fluid concept Plus I don't like the container like nature of it. Def has its place though. Eg sto…
-
If you load test a WP without add ons the cpu bottlenecks first on a mediumish vps. Once you add caching it starts depending on how dynamic the content is and whether users are logged in or not etc Planning on starting a new blog about stuff like …
