Congrats Fran, I got the email announcing Namecrane a couple weeks ago, but didn't know the backstory. I'm looking forward to domain registration there!
-
I'd like to try these. Can anyone help me out with an invite?
-
Rack space can be pretty cheap, power expensive. What exactly do you want?
-
Don't forget the ESP32C3 which is on little IOT boards for under $5.
-
Colos and dedis and storage... OH MY!
-
I got that email too, but couldn't understand how it is supposed to work. Is @Hetzner_OL around much these days? There is also a discussion thread on Hacker News. Things I'd be interested to know: * If you cancel a dedicated server, can you have…
-
That's ok, i'm asking about the performance of the existing nodes, just to have an idea of what the new one might be like.
-
Do you have anything like this deployed right now? I'm wondering what kind of throughput people are getting.

Moto G Play is $100 new unlocked and comes with Android 12. I don't know of anything better in terms of hardware at that price. But, there is not official LineageOS support (yet), and Moto is not so good about software upgrades.
-
(Quote) No. The big move of websites to https and tls certificates is partly due to skids taking over public wifi hotspots and executing AitM (I guess that is what we used to call MITM) attacks on the client connections. SSH isn't much different. …

I've been using K9 and Fairmail is supposed to also be good. Both are on f-droid. I basically don't use anything that isn't on f-droid.
-
(Quote) Yeah I see now, it's on NYCB022. It's at 80ms ping from California which is pretty good for cross country. Anyway no need to move it. It's fine wherever.
-
It's possible I got some kind of notification about the IP change and missed or forgot about it. It seems to have happened a couple weeks ago. The server got switched to a different address. It's ok, I updated the DNS and everything works now. I…
-
Wait what, I have a virmach vps that I host a low traffic web site on and it stopped working, and it looks like its IP address is now assigned to alibaba cloud? Checking into it...
-
(Quote) It's the opposite though. Anything that says lifetime can disappear at any moment. I've bought a couple of 3 year storage plans here before and both collapsed partway through. I mostly use Hetzner now.
-
Shouldn't we know better than "lifetime" deals for something like this? Hetzner Storagebox is around 2€/TB/mo so this pCloud at the 2TB level is like 70 months (~ 6 years) and the 10TB level is almost 4 years. I'd expect something to go …
-
Lol it never stops. Hopefully everyone here stopped using those products years ago.
-
I haven't been paying much attention to LES lately, so may have missed elsewhere: what is the DC location? I don't see it here or on the order form.
-
(Quote) It's about 40euro/m for 10TB and you don't get anything like 1gbps transfer from it, especially when mounting it as a file system. Other than that, it works pretty well. I have 5TB there and use Borg for backup these days, so I don't have …
-
It would be great if it could do 10 digits so it could handle a NANP phone number with area code.
-
Thread says "cheaper than Contabo" as if that's a good thing, but it makes me expect the VPS to be crap.
-
Hourly billing is great but for it to be an on-demand product, you have to have stock available all the time, which means you need idle capacity and higher prices. People who spin up an hourly VM may also have heavy cpu requirements while the VM is…
-
Always prefer self-hosting. "apt-get install gitit" is simplest way to have a self-hosted wiki. No database-- it uses git as the version control backend.
-
I've only seen this happen on the one specific operation of apt-get upgrade.
-
I doubt the OOM killer was involved in that crash. I had almost nothing running on the VM when I did the upgrade. Plus, I just did the same upgrade on a similarly configured 384MB VM and it didn't crash. Something seems weird about the 768MB VM o…
-
I see 255MB of swap, but don't understand why any at all should be needed. In the great early LES days, I had Debian boxes as small as 32MB, though they were OpenVZ. I had a 256MB KVM for a while though, and have a 384MB now.
-
Had another incident of apt-get upgrade wedging my VPS. (Edited) I was able to succesfully reboot from client area, but this happening repeatedly makes me think something is busted at the other end. I don't think this can be the VM running out of …
-
I'm in western US so mostly would want to be near here. I wobbled between LA and Dallas in the poll. LA is closer but I already have some storage there, so a different location would help resillience in case of an earthquake or the like. So, I pi…
-
Your current location is good. Put the money into more disk drives for your storage plans instead. ;)
