(Quote) You used to be able to get them for basically nothing when ARIN still had IPv4 addresses :joy: Just gotta pay the yearly service fees which is based on how many IPs you have.

(Quote) CC was/is sitting on a mountain of spam listed v4 addresses - so Virmach using it for cheap VMs actually helps clean it up long term. There's a lot of cheap v4 floating around right now since covid screwed up a lot of the cheap vps/pro…

Good way for them to raise some money I guess? I wouldn't touch it at that pricing, but I'm sure they'll convince a few folks. Between Tor, a cheap annual/"lifetime" VPN deal, and a $15-20/yr VPS running wireguard - i'…

(Quote) You misspelled "broke", lol. Adding a /28 in some places I colo would cost more than the colo itself. (Quote) If we're going to throw out a couple decades of work for a new addressing standard (and even more delays, unsupport…

(Quote) Coming up on a decade since World IPv6 launch day and we've run out of v4 address space. I like direct connecting to things and not stuffing them behind NAT, reverse proxies, port forwarding, etc - or paying out the ass for additional v…

(Quote) > There's a time and place for it, for sure. If you're blocking regular attacks, then that's worth using to minimize downtime and whatever outages CF have are much lower than what you'd face without that protection. I…

Lack of v6 is killing me in 2020...

(Quote) It lists them all at the bottom. I don't know what applications you're running and if they could be optimized, if they can't then you need more hardware.
-
I run MySQLTuner and other similar scripts to get an idea of where the slowdown may be, turn on the slow query log and tail that for a bit when the box is under load, then inevitably I have to yell at our developers to optimize their shit. I'm…

Always with the top-up credit offers... if a host does it too often it's obvious that they're hurting for money.

(Quote) There is ProxCP from the Vapornode (? I think) dude, haven't played with it yet - but would hope it works a bit better than the WHMCS plugins https://proxcp.com/tour - comes in more around Solus/Virtualizor pricing and has an owned/unli…

(Quote) +1 - I wish more providers offered affordable daily or even weekly snapshots. Would save me a ton of downtime/hassle if a restore was needed. Get running again and only have a few things to sync over vs. full rebuild. BuyVM launched backups…

(Quote) You generally want a server with a good connection to where you'll use it most often. That's going to be your main bottleneck. So if you have a good connection to Germany then go with a provider around there. The other thing to no…

Almost forgot about them, newer host but good service the last 2-ish months I've had a VM with them. https://aliendata.com/ - $1.50/m - Houston, TX
-
https://www.virtua.host/vps-cloud-servers - 1.75 Eur/m Already mentioned them on the other forum today, promise I'm not shilling - just keep finding relevant threads :joy: Annual billing is always going to be a better deal because you're…

Porkbun running .com's at $4.15 first year ($8.56 renewal), think the limit is 3 per person. And $3.90 .net's (also a limit of 3). Free whois privacy on those as well.

(Quote) My guess: it's going away. I'm sure they've run the numbers on how many people actually use Bootcamp and it's some tiny percentage that they're not too concerned about. Hopefully the final MacOS release with Intel s…

I'm excited to see what happens when they scale up their custom silicon. The iPad Pro silicon is already pretty killer in terms of performance to power usage. I think the A12z in current iPad Pro is like 8 cores @ 2.5GHz, and 8 GPU cores. I th…

(Quote) Well if you want one for OpenVPN/Wireguard script testing I'll pay for it if @serverian is cool doing the transfer.

(Quote) Key word: HE tunnel

Give it a week or two for everyone to let their VMs idle and not run 20 benches at the same time, speeds will be looking even better then :wink:
-
Welcome back @serverian - saw my old 512 plan got a bump as well :smile: Had that thing since 2014

(Quote) Backup server's about to commit suicide with 2 gunshots to the back of the head.

Whenever I've run the numbers, even on the deals, it's always better to just rent a VPS. Can also get a well priced rental like https://rpiservers.com
-
(Quote) They gave out free credit to test their panel in 2017, that's apparently when I signed up as well.

Looks like it's all being eaten by Slab? Which iirc is kernel-related cache. Try slabtop and maybe that can give you some hints, or you can share the output here for someone much smarter than myself to help with. lol
-
(Quote) Yeah, that will probably be a huge pain in the ass. Could probably create custom templates that auto partition and mount it, but that's a lot of extra work. I personally really like split storage setups but I know how to install from I…

Thanks for the share @Ympker - didn't need it myself, but my buddy in Mexico was looking for a cheap way to watch US Netflix on his TV boxes and this seems to fit the bill. Working well so far apparently. The lifetime deals always sketch me ou…

(Quote) I agree on synthetic benchmarks, and I apologize for derailing the thread here. I saw someone else mentioning the same issues I was seeing the other day, but as you addressed above those were already resolved. I'm seeing 16-20MB/s sorta…
-
(Quote) Well it does matter for transfers of large files (ie backups) - don't need a 300MB/s seq write but line speed-ish would be nice. It seems a bit better right now (~16MB/s), but I would suggest using a file bigger than the available ram f…
-
(Quote) What about backups that you want to run faster than 5-10Mbps? lol.

OVH US also has Ryzen dedis in stock, plus Intel options. https://us.ovhcloud.com/dedicated-servers/game/game-1/

Completely agree with @lebuser I don't think there's anything wrong with treating v6 just how you treat v4, in terms of running off a single v6 address. I only really care about v6 access/usage, not too concerned on the implementation spe…
-
Both of the results you posted are most definitely hitting a ram cache. NVMe is a bit of a safer bet that you will have the iops available even after the node is loaded up. A well managed box with SSD storage at a good provider can work as well/bet…

(Quote) The reason I prefer Debian in a server environment is precisely because it lacks the extras. I'm sure I could rip a lot of stuff out of Ubuntu to streamline it, but that's more work than starting off with something lighter. Bare mi…

Pop!_OS 20.04 working quite well on the ThinkPad I don't really 'get' Ubuntu as a server OS though, it's like 2x the footprint of a base Debian install. I guess the 5 yr LTS is nice, but Debian seems to be going in that directio…

(Quote) Wireguard does that all on the client side under AllowedIPs in the config. I haven't looked at Nyr's script yet, but I assume his default would be to push all traffic over it 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 (v4 & v6). You'd just take thos…

Netlify is another free option that will take care of hosting + CDN for static sites. https://www.netlify.com/ Cloudfront works well too if you've got a low traffic site, that's about $0.09/GB though iirc.
