Has the cost of electricity in DE changed much due to current events? :( Here in USA, gasoline is more expensive than before. I don't know yet about electricity.

I believe one account does everything. I have a vague memory of custom domains only being available for the larger storageshare sizes, but I don't see anything about that in the docs, so maybe they got rid of that restriction. https://docs.hetzner…

Yes I do see old SX servers (usually i7-2600) in the auction sometimes. I guess your team knows better than I do, but I would have thought what I suggested was a common use case. RIght now, my new 5TB Storage Box has taken some of the disk pressur…

I thought Hetzner was also a low end provider so at the beginning of your post I thought you were about to say you were moving away from them, heh. Yeah I've had terrific hardware uptime and hardware support with Hetzner. There has been some troub…

Thanks Katie, bypassing setup fees is always welcome here ;). A lot of us want low cost storage servers though, and not that many care about 64GB of ram. Could you ask your colleagues for an AX41 HDD configuration with the same price (same hardwar…

Yeah I'd also want to know how well a laptop runs linux before I thought about buying it. Idr whether the Frame.work uses arm. I think it is possible to build a reasonable laptop around a raspberry pi or similar, tbh. It wouldn't be for hardcore …

Stay away from refurbs jeez.

Thanks, I'm not familiar with Elementor and don't use wordpress so I'll have to take your word that there is some kind of value here. I host a few basic static websites on free hosting and a self-coded dynamic site on a low end vps, but none are as…

Um why would anyone on LES care about this? Could a $5/y shared hosting plan not handle that amount of workload?

(Quote) For this reason I would not even think of using anything that is closed source. If we have the source code we ought to be able to get it working on a 2042 machine somehow. I kept using a 1980s text formatter til not that long ago.
-
Heh, I think a lot of my 1.6TB directory is already backed up elsewhere, so I will be ok if I just back up the remaining part a little bit selectively. There is also some other cheap storage around that I can pursue. I suspect part of Storage Box'…

Thanks, Katie. Meanwhile, my 5TB storage box has 1.5TB of free space left and I have one more system to back up, which has 1.6TB of data... ouch ;)
-
Added to above: my Hetzner dedi to storage box transfer slowed to maybe 15MB/s(?) for part of a day but then returned to the earlier 35MB/s or so. My backup of that dedi is now finished and it feels nice to have a complete copy in one place. I'm g…

I had sort of remembered FLK from the Hetzner console, but ok maybe it was FSN :). Meanwhile my borg backup went back to its original speed after a few hours of slowdown, but I think the program itself can be sped up somewhat.
-
Well, I got around to spinning up a 1tb storage box to try borg backup. It worked ok, I transferred around 900GB to it, took overnight at around 35-40MB/sec, not great but not terrible. Then I bumped up the size to 5TB and sent another 200GB over …
-
I decided to go with borg for now since it's supported by Hetzner. It looks like they have a borg server (not just ssh) at the remote side. I have a backup running with most options left at default, getting 35-40MB/s from a local dedi, not terribl…
-
Thanks, will look. I see that it wants to compress my data, which is bad because any large data collection will usually already be compressed. E.g. linux isos are gzipped or whatever. Added: at first glance Kopia looks very similar to borgbackup,…
-
Added to above (past edit window): see https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/internals/security.html#fingerprinting It looks (per above) like borg also leaks metadata about file sizes etc. Not good. I'm glad that they considered and documen…
-
Ok I finally got around to looking at the borgbackup docs, and it looks like borg expects the backup repository to be sshfs mounted. It is possible to mount Hetzner storage box that way, but IME transfer is a lot slower (like 2x) with sshfs than wi…

There are already two yabs for this product posted here? Both were numerically similar and both were unimpressive.

Ah right, Contabo was one of those LET services. But people are asking about it here. They will get about what they should expect.
