(Quote) This is actually very good advice, playing with monitoring will give you insight into what everything does and how. For host/device monitoring, use Icinga/Nagios/Naemon or whatever. For performance metrics use node exporter or telegraf or s…

You seem to be a "learning by doing" kind of guy just like me, so my suggestion is to simply just dive right in. Pick out a bunch of projects at https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and start installing. I'm pretty sure…

(Quote) Well yes, I know how keyboard shortcuts work. I practically never touch the mouse, not even when using windows. The keyboard shortcut for desktop on Windows is Win + D. But then you minimize everything you are working on. If I have two ssh s…

You people with icons on the desktop, how do you use those? I mean, I very rarely see my desktop. I start my computer, see the desktop for like 2 seconds and then I start a bunch of applications and never see the desktop again until next reboot, whi…

(Quote) I have used a very simple php script for years to accomplish just this, I cant believe I did not think of doing it this way instead. It's just so simple it's brilliant, thank you.

(Quote) Inflation affects everything, directly or indirectly. It is likely that domain names is one of the things people will cut back on when times are tough. Less domain registrations means registrars have to have higher margins to stay profitabl…

(Quote) I manage both linux and windows servers and I run both windows and linux desktops. Only an idiot would chose the same os everywhere regardless of task, you should always use the best tool for the job.

(Image) Keeping it clean, everything is done with keyboard shortcuts, rarely touches the mouse. Also have a second workstation with FreeBSD on it running Enlightenment window manager that looks pretty much identical to the screenshot above. I swit…

(Quote) This is the kind of thing I was talking about. It's not the one I had in mind, but it is similar.
-
Just to clarify, I'm talking about when designing websites here, not scraping websites. It's a utility that you can point to a css file on your harddrive that is part of a website project and it will parse the file and download the dependencies. Th…
-
I might have expressed myself a bit unclear. I'm talking about webdesign here. A lot of templates and themes use webfonts or libraries that are referenced with their full URI. This utility would parse such a template/theme/website and download the c…

(Quote) If 4 visitors causes your site to use 100% cpu, I would seriously consider going trough some optimization and take a good look at what plugins you use. Seriously, it does not really matter how many visitors you think you had or if you added…

(Quote) Well, evidently, someone did. The stupidity of people is limitless, I'm not even surprised anymore.
-
(Quote) Technically looking, nobody has hijacked anything. You seem to have a somewhat odd definition of the term 'hijacking'. Hijacking a domain means that you seize control over it from its rightful owner, without their consent and against their w…

(Quote) Ah yes, the 1177 incident. In a followup interview, they gave this explanation: (Quote) We still use the terms "internet cable", "it got an ip" or "special command move" as jokes at work when we try to explain …

For personal use I have Nextcloud, Wallabag, Mattermost, Leantime, Paperless-ng and Jitsi. I'm not counting stuff like Icinga, PowerDNS, Graylog, Grafana, a shitload of databases and websites and similar stuff. Even if I selfhost it, it's mainly fo…

I've found hourly billing to be hard to sell to low end customers. They want to know exactly what something costs before signing anything, and hourly billing does not really fit in. I have multiple times had customers go with a fixed monthly price i…

(Quote) If someone deadpools and leave their customers hanging, I would not say that calling them out for it qualifies as "being a dick". Whether or not defending such a move would qualify as "being a dick by association" is open…
-
(Quote) Totally agree with above. If I pay peanuts I do not expect the provider to provide anything besides basic infrastructure. If the vps runs, they have done their part. Peoples expectation of complete handholding and teaching them how to use t…

I recently installed https://elementary.io/ on an old laptop. Haven't had time to really test it, but first impression is very good.

(Quote) Use whatever gets the job done and you feel comfortable with. Migrating should not be a problem, there are plenty of ways to convert from vmware to hyper-v images and with only 8 virtual machines you should be able to do it manually.
-
(Quote) Don't bet on it. I've seen Hyper-V fuckups so bad even Microsoft was unable to fix it. And honestly, if you cant figure out how to use ESXi, you will not be able to use Hyper-V either.
-
(Quote) I would not worry about ESXI in this scenario. If you think ESXI is bad, you have not seen a completely fubar Hyper-V. Holy mother of everything virtual, nothing can make a mess of everything the way that Hyper-V can. Last I checked VMware …

Grav with the Learn2 theme https://demo.hibbittsdesign.org/grav-learn2-git-sync/ Flatfile, no sql, markup language, optional sync with git. If you chose to not use git it has wysiwyg editing or you can just feed it textfiles with markup. I have tri…

Can anyone disclose what actually happened to Jay? I'm not asking for details, but is he ill, injured, out partying, got another job or just sick and tired of the hosting business, or did he just disappear and nobody knows where? I mean, if he is il…

(Quote) It is a shitshow of epic proportions, I'm not sure a semi is enough.
-
(Quote) What? Like in not selling anything ever again? I was planning on moving a few resellers from nexbytes to buyshared but it said out of stock. But that is pretty common with buyvm/buyshared so I thought I should just wait it out.
-
(Quote) https://buyshared.net have a rock solid reputation. But I would have said the same about Nexusbytes if you asked me a year ago, so take it for what it is.
-
(Quote) I don't want to sound like a dick here, but I have to ask what you mean by "some time"? Jay has been missing for what now, a year? Not a word, no explanation, nothing. Jord stepped up and kept stuff rolling, and big credits to him …

I love BSD and has been active in the community for over 25 years and I advocate it wherever I can. But why would you use it as a virtualization host? What do you expect to gain? I am a firm believer in using the right tools for every job, and I rea…

Scandinavia. There is basically only Terrahost, and since Epik acquired them they will most likely not be around for long.

(Quote) Not the same, iWeb was a canadian hosting company. It seems they were aquired by Leaseweb.
-
(Quote) People do not chose at all, they just type in what they are looking for in Google and click on the first link. As techies, we might find stuff like web3 fascinating and interesting, but keep in mind that 99% of everybody does not give a shi…
-
Cant remember exactly, but it would be either Layered Tech or iWeb. Layered Tech was acquired by some big player and I think iWeb was rebranded into something else. I know I had a dedi with one and a few vps's with the other, but I cant recall which…

(Quote) Actually, it does. From VirMach's terms: "VirMach, either directly or through its assignee or licensee, will provide support to Customer relating to VirMach Services. Any support which VirMach may provide to you shall be at VirMach’s so…

Unless we are talking hundreds of connections per second you will be ok. Most monitoring solutions use icmp or very basic requests to do their work, the load is most likely totally negligible and not even noticeable when mixed with all other network…
