I have just released 33 days worth of benchmarking data for Nexus Bytes' Germany server. You can be sure that the performance will stay the same for a long time.

Thank you for the explosive benchmark sir. I hope you are also putting your vm to good use?

I know multiple people have mentioned this, but I just wanted to add myself on to the list of people that are incredibly impressed with the service provided by @seriesn. He takes any issues seriously, and will do whatever it takes to ensure smooth service. This really feels like a dedicated server at VPS pricing.

If you don't have one of these bad boys please pick one up before the sale ends. It'll be worth it.

The time is ticking. You don't want to regret this one.

AGAIN: my 1GB NexusBytes box performs better than my Linode 1GB box. But Linode box is more expensive than it. (5$/month compare to < 2$/month)

Thank you so much for the kind words Family . Thank you for giving us and me the opportunity to be your hosting partner

We try our best to keep things underutilized and a true believer of "There is no such thing as enough monitoring" . Still working on a couple of network quarks but hopefully, things will be getting better as we move forward

No. Manual running of script. How do you code a randomized cron?

havoc

Jikes.

sudo crontab -e

and then add

0 1 * * * speedtest-cli > speedtest$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

That should run a speedtest every day at 1AM and dump the result in a file with the current date. I think...haven't tried it. Don't think cron can do a random time though if that's what your asking. Best bet is stick it in a script and add a randomized sleep if you really want that

There's probably a nice one-liner that would work in cron, someone well versed in bash-fu would know right away probably..

uptime

@poisson - bash has a built-in $RANDOM variable which yields an integer between 0 and 32767 inclusive

echo $RANDOM
4775

so could use with sleep to easily introduce random delay up to about 9.1 hours (32767 seconds) with 1 second granularity

for example, in bash, this should run speedtest-cli after a random delay up to 1 hour:

sleep $((RANDOM % 3600)) && speedtest-cli > speedtest$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

But I'm not sure how this one-liner would fare inside crontab - assume nothing, test everything

Finagling some over-engineered script to do the needful (quite possibly introducing more bugs than I am trying to prevent) ...

cat random_delay

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# random_delay: execute $command after random delay up to 32767 seconds 
# example: random_delay 60 echo "alrighty then"

seconds="$1"
command="${@:2}"
max_rand=32767
error=""

case "$seconds" in
  ''|*[!0-9]*) error="must be a positive integer" ;;
esac

if [[ -z "$error"]]; then
  if [[ seconds -lt 1 ]]; then
    error="must be greater than 0"
  elif [[ seconds -gt max_rand ]]; then
    error="must not be greater than $max_rand"
  fi
fi

if [[ -n "$error" ]]; then
  echo "$0 first argument \"$1\"" $error
  exit 1
fi

sleep $((RANDOM % seconds)) 
$command

seriesn

Yes please experiment. This is how we will have 10 geek bench instance running out of no where at 3 am and I will die with an heart attack. Rip ?

@seriesn said:
(...) and I will die (...)

Please don't die!

uptime

Lulz ...

indeed, and ... when in doubt, simplify.

for @poisson we might assume default delay up to 24 hours with granularity of 1 minute

cat random_delay_daily

#!/usr/bin/env bash
command="$@"
minutes=$((RANDOM % 1440))
sleep ${minutes}m && $command

or as a one-liner:

sleep $((RANDOM % 1440))m && speedtest-cli > speedtest$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

best to first test in crontab with something like:

0 1 * * * /path/to/random_delay_daily date >> /tmp/random_datelog

Note this depends on functionality of sleep provided by gnu coreutils, which has an "m" option for minutes

sleep --version

sleep (GNU coreutils) 8.28

cybertech

Just let me know what command to put and where

poisson

Lol my benching script takes up to ten minutes to complete.. imagine if I fuck it up with a bash script that runs it several times an hour (it trashes the CPU and disk in the process).

Thanks for the leads, though. I am going to experiment a bit.

Latency my man. We can't figure out proper routing from asia. Imagine another planet?

All jokes aside, thanks for the kind words fam. There's a reason, my users are member of the family, not just a customer. We treat our family right .

I appreciate you guys for giving me and my company a chance and being a member of the family

Those running random HD+Network speed tests will get banned. I will not forgive, and I do not forget.

@seriesn said: Latency my man. We can't figure out proper routing from asia. Imagine another planet?

Don't stress about that my man. I just disabled Cloudflare when using my NY service because for some reason CF can't get the routing right. It's way faster directly connecting to your server (IPv4, my location is Australia, server location is NY)

EDIT: PS, my opinion is that IPv6 sucks. I hate the idea of a public IPv6 for each device in a house, so I hope it never comes to be. CGNAT is better than IPv6 for that stuff. And if you need to run a server, there's a billion ways to do that without needing direct IP access at home (think SSH tunnels, etc)

quark[ kwawrk, kwahrk ]

noun

Physics. any of the hypothetical particles with spin 1/2, baryon number 1/3, and electric charge 1/3 or −2/3 that, together with their antiparticles, are believed to constitute all the elementary particles classed as baryons and mesons; they are distinguished by their flavors, designated as up (u), down (d), strange (s), charm (c), bottom or beauty (b), and top or truth (t), and their colors, red, green, and blue.
