The plan is still orderable on Servarica's web site. I don't know if that means it is really in stock. I have been considering it for a while, depending.

Thanks, smallweb is looking good. Does anyone know what is going on with.com.au domains these days? They used to be a standard thing, right? The usual registrars don't have them any more.

Was smallweb sold a few months ago? How is it now?

When will they do some 8 socket systems?

On a dedi it doesn't seem worth it for the tiny savings, though I might do it anyway. On the small VM's, ipv4 is a big chunk of the cost so I'm eager to save it. I think there are some technical issues they have to fix for the dedis though, and ip…

I remember looking into Borg and not pursuing it, but I've forgotten specifics. There was another one (duplicity?) that I tried for a while and found annoying. So now I just use rsync. I will keep trying to figure out alternatives. What I really…

The now very ancient article The Tao Of Backup (http://taobackup.com/) is still worth reading. It discusses use cases for backups and strategies for testing. The "surprise" ending is that it's a sales pitch for backup software. I don't …

I haven't managed to get one yet, but imho it is attractive for north america. The 100mbps is annoying but not that big a deal. Should I figure these are all out of stock? I tried to login and order when I saw the post a few days ago, but there …

Is Chia still a thing? What are you doing really? What kind of server are you going to do this on without root access? If you're not seeking a lot, HDD's intended for this sort of use (surveillance drives made to record video 24/7) might be a goo…

At the moment I don't know of any that I don't hate. I mostly just use rsync and have vague thoughts about writing something myself, but don't have a really clear idea of what I'd want it to do. I wish there were better backup hardware (tape drive…

(Quote) That was the idea of CEPH backed VPS but the performance hit is significant. It was interesting to hear that Hetzner has deprecated it now.
