Your current location is good. Put the money into more disk drives for your storage plans instead. ;)
-
My HH storage vps in LA is working fine, uptime 135 days.
-
Hey, congrats on the new location. I'm looking forward to storage boxes in the US too. I've been worrying a little bit about European providers and hope everyone is holding up ok over there, and that electricity stays available and affordable for …

(Quote) I think that would have been written in the 1960s or 70s. Stuff was much different then. Are you trying to learn actual PLT, or just pick up some languages? PLT is an abstract and pointy headed subject compared to most programming. Langu…
-
PLT is a totally different subject than PL software. The main post-2000 development I know of is homotopy type theory (HoTT). What is that? I don't know either, but there is a book about it at https://github.com/HoTT/book . All the other pointy …

What does this actually do? Is it a replacement for WHMCS? What language is it written in? Thanks.

I've written a considerable amount of FOSS code. Some as a volunteer, but I got paid for some, so in that sense I've contributed a negative amount of money ;).
-
I'm fine with v6-only. Everything I want to back up has v6, so I don't need v4.

On the BF customization screen it looks like NVMe space is just $10 per 2 years for 100GB. Is that intentional? It seems too good to be true. I presume I can't get it as an upgrade for my existing VPS though. Oh well. Btw it would be nice to be…

Nice, Killer Whale still seems like the most enticing offer, and it has been around for a while. If I get it on monthly, can I later switch it to annual?
-
Threadtitle should say OnlyOffice (which I had never heard of before) rather than OpenOffice. I wondered why the hell OpenOffice was offering any type of license. Up til recently it had been a FOSS suite of desktop apps, later forked into LibreOff…

The one I saw was from letsencrypt, which makes me think "apt install certbot" could help ;).

I've never gotten 1G between storage box and a Hetzner dedi but I haven't tried recently. Maybe they upgraded Storage Box. Main alternative I know of in anything like that price range is Servarica, or some Hosthatch promos. BF is coming so that m…

(Quote) This is way too expensive to be interesting. Hetzner Storage Box is a little over $2 per TB in the larger sizes, and it is raid 6. Storage Share is raid 6 and backed up daily and supports nextcloud, and is around $3 per TB.

20 megabit shared uplink? Lol. The few hundred watts from the machine will not heat your house somewhere. I do know someone who heated his house with bitcoin mining, but he had a big setup in the era when gpu mining was profitable. He was probab…

(Quote) Abuser took that long to notice ban and make a new account for more coin mining.

(Quote) Dynadot itself is not the registry? I think they are the registry for some TLD's. Idk about .ONE. What are the cheapest recurring domains now? I don't like Dynadot because of their shenanigans with .TK etc, but they are out there.

(Quote) Outside the GFW while still having good connectivity to China.
-
(Quote) Yes, sounds preferable to keep it as simple as possible. Re multiple accounts, is SMS confirmation useless for this sort of thing?
-
Nice offer except amount of NVMe storage seems a bit low for a VM of this size. Larger allocation would be great even if it is ordinary SSD rather than NVMe.
-
(Quote) I was able to reboot ok and finish the upgrade. It's a 768MB VM, and I've been able to upgrade much smaller ones. Debian is way less memory hungry than Ubuntu. No idea what went wrong. I was expecting an openssl patch for a critical vuln…
-
Anyone notice if SJC2005 just went offline? My VPS crashed during an apt-get upgrade and I half remember something like that happening before and it was the whole node going out. I haven't yet tried rebooting through control panel but will attempt…

Ok, sent a little while ago.
-
Thanks, I opened a ticket with Hosthatch about this. I can PM you the ticket number for confirmation wth them.
-
Wow this is great, was it some kind of special? I'm interested but I don't use paypal. I was going to suggest cash or MO by snail mail but hmm, you are in Europe? Maybe Hosthatch could let me add funds via CC to your Hosthatch account? This pri…

(Quote) He said he'd had a lot of downtime and gotten poor ticket response, and in his rant's first few words, he complained about VM doing BF offers instead of fixing existing problems. Lots of us have had downtime and those us who have been aroun…

(Quote) Lots of people are using odroid so that might be a reasonable choice. I wonder about pine64.

I thought the issue was getting enough of the SOC chips from Broadcom. I hope they will switch to another supplier for the pi 5 whenever that is. They have deep roots with Broadcom but Broadcom is a crappy company. Meanwhile, there is no shortage…

(Quote) Probably better to not tip the idiots off too much.

I think there were some pretty stringent cpu restrictions in the past, but with stuff migrated to ryzen cpus these days, cpu is more plentiful. I have been in the habit of not running anything on virmach vps's that uses more than a few seconds of c…

* There is a site https://rpilocator.com/ that tracks all the usual resellers and alerts you if there is a stock drop somewhere, though they always sell out fast. * The different sellers like adafruit, pishop.us etc. usually have a "notify me…

Yes, 4's are very hard to get and I didn't realize 3's were even being manufactured. Easiest is to get a 400 which is basically a 4 with a keyboard.

(Quote) Thanks for the tip about this, it is a good deal, but I think it is Texas only. They charge $3.50 extra for a board-powered USB HDD or $7.50 for one that needs additional power, iirc. Info here: https://my2.dataideas.com/store/addons
