They do have the "normal" version (2 cores, 8GB RAM, 200GB NVMe for $10/month) if that interests you. It's in their main VPS offers: https://www.wishosting.com/order/main/packages/VPS/?group_id=2. The sale one has +2 cores and +300GB NVMe for an extra $2/month. One of the things I really like about Wishosting is that they…

Interesting site! It's similar to what I'm doing with https://dnstools.ws/ but with more probes.

I posted about the installer not booting on the other forum, and someone mentioned an incompatibility with Ryzen and Linux 5.10. https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/174556/segfaults-when-booting-debian-11-installer I had to install and boot into Debian 10, upgrade to Debian 11, and install the backported 5.14 kernel (from…

If I want to move my VPS from Romania to Norway, can you match the price I was paying? It's an NVMe VPS.
-
and swap shouldn't actually be that slow on NVMe drives. A week or so ago, Wishosting had a sale VPS with the opposite issue: 32GB RAM but only 100GB HDD (SSD-cached) storage. I nearly ordered that one since it was in Los Angeles which works really well for me (I live near San Francisco and get ~10-15ms pings and full…

Yeah it was tempting me for a day or two, so I thought I'd try it out. 500 GB NVMe is really good for the price! I wish it had more RAM though. The 'regular' (non "Deal of the day": "KVM SSD NVMe") one is $10/month for 2 cores, 8 GB RAM and 200GB NVMe, so for an extra $2/month you get 300GB more space and 2 more cores, but…

Sure.

GB5 score increased after upgrading from Debian 10 (4.19 kernel) to Debian 11 with backported 5.14 kernel (the standard 5.10 kernel it comes with was causing kernel panics on boot). Apparently Linux 5.11 had some performance improvements for AMD Ryzen/Epyc systems. Geekbench 5 Benchmark…

Yeah... The ideal design is for the website itself to be built on top of the same API, which automatically means that all features on the site are also accessible through the API. Some of these older forum systems have coupled the business logic too tightly to the web UI, and the API is just an afterthought that lacks all…

why do you just have 64MB of swap? lol

Wishosting $11.99/month sale. Located in France (OVH) but feels very fast and responsive even when connecting from the USA thanks to the fast processor and disk. # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## Yet-Another-Bench-Script ## v2021-10-09 ## https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script ## ## ## ##…

How does one get an access token though? Plus I don't really want to spend time using the API to build an RSS feed if it already has an RSS feed built in 😛
-
Yeah looks like 8 to me. _spf.google.com has include:_netblocks.google.com include:_netblocks2.google.com include:_netblocks3.google.com which adds 3 queries (all of which are just IPs), and mxroute.com has include:_s00002163.autospf.email which adds another query. I wouldn't recommend having so many vendors on a single…

Is your SPF record set to softfail (~all at the end) or hardfail (-all at the end)? It should be set to hardfail once you're sure that it's accurate, in which case any email that fails the SPF check should be marked as spam by recipient servers. This is where DMARC can be useful, as it lets you tell approximately how…
-
An approach I could take here is to write a script that: * Does a GET to /entry/signin to get the CSRF token to log in (although I don't see one there... I know Vanilla is kinda basic when it comes to security, but please tell me it at least has a CSRF token somewhere). * Does a POST to /entry/signin to log in, saving the…

This is still going to get you suspended with a free account... File extensions don't actually mean anything on the internet; content type is entirely determined by the MIME headers. Even if you set the Content-Type: text/css for your video files (which will break any video player that determines the protocol based on…
-
Combining all offers into a single file would make for a very useful RSS feed. Even if it was just in one JSON file I could just use Huginn to convert it to an RSS feed (I'm already using Huginn to scrape offers from a few hosts that aren't listed on Serverhunter)
-
How though? If they set the from address to yours, it should have failed SPF and DKIM checks, and even without DMARC those emails should have still ended up being marked as spam by most mail systems. Do you have the full headers from one of these fake emails? This is something DMARC is good for. Even if you don't set it to…

FreshRSS can't do it today, but I can add it if needed. The only thing is that the cookies may periodically rotate for security reasons (fairly common these days). Isn't that basically what RSS for, at least for a read-only API? If it allowed username and password via HTTP Basic auth then that'd be useful.

Yes! Twitter and Facebook are good for aggregating content, but too noisy. On FB I mostly care about posts from friends and groups rather from pages (and that's mostly what I interact with, so I barely see any page posts), and Twitter is just a disorganized mess of a feed, plus not every company is on social media (and…

Los Angeles - good connectivity to a lot of parts of the world.

Sure, will do! Fresh OS install isn't too bad, and actually setting up the system for the DNSTools worker is all in an Ansible role (https://github.com/Daniel15/dnstools/blob/master/ansible/roles/dnstools-worker/tasks/main.yml) so once I've got the base OS installed and SSH properly configured, the rest is automated.
-
I've been using Zappie Host for the New Zealand and South Africa locations on https://dnstools.ws/ for a while (albeit the older LXC-based service rather than this new KVM one). Great provider. A++ would recommend.
-
Interesting, I'll ask them about it. Even in its current state, it feels a LOT faster than some other VPSes I've got. I was skeptical about the service quality given the price, but the VPS feels ridiculously fast, to the point where it makes me question why I still have VPSes with legacy 9-year-old Intel E3/E5 processes…

Contabo VPS S with NVMe drive. €4.99/month, plus I'm paying an extra €1.25/month for their Seattle, USA location.

As far as I know, usage of TLS 1.2 and 1.3 is mandated by several security standards, and older TLS and SSL versions must be disabled (eg I think PCI-DSS may mandate this now, or soon), so older browsers/devices that only support TLS 1.1 or lower would likely already be having issues with "high security" sites…

Which ISP are you using? If they don't support IPv6 in 2021, it's time to name and shame them, and set up an IPv6 tunnel :)
-
Personally I like predictable pricing so I'm not a fan of pricing models like this. I want to know exactly how much my bill will be every month. For CPU usage, I like when the host is straightforward about the limits (eg. BuyVM's lowest plan clearly says "Average usage of around 15% of a physical CPU"), and then customers…
-
Their Chicago deployment is very good. I'm actually pretty frustrated that I moved my HostHatch storage to Los Angeles and transferred the Chicago one to someone else because the disk speeds in Chicago are consistently 3-4x the speeds of Los Angeles, Chicago has faster processors (3.0GHz vs 2.8GHz), and sometimes I get…

PayPal, or if you're in the USA I can also take Zelle or Venmo, or if you're in Australia I can take a PayID payment. Someone else messaged me expressing interest, but if they pass on it, you can be next in line (if you're interested) :smile:
