I'm seeing the same thing. Filed a ticket earlier today.

Hmm... I'm not seeing that. Milan: daniel@it01:~$ uname -aLinux it01.d.sb 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21 #1 SMP Thu Jun 27 15:10:55 MSK 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux France: daniel@fr01:~$ uname -aLinux fr01.d.sb 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21 #1 SMP Thu Jun 27 15:10:55 MSK 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux Both are Debian 10.2. In any case, the…

Ensure the virtio driver is installed / compiled into your kernel.

I do something similar to @ouvoun's script, except via Ansible. Just have to manually configure SSH keys and install Python3 and then Ansible handles the rest. The Debian installer already asks to create a new user, so I guess that part of your script wouldn't be necessary if you install from ISO. Maybe I should post my…

Not allowing importing npm packages really limits the usefulness though. One of the primary benefits of CodeSandbox is that you can import third party packages and modify the Webpack config (or use something other than Webpack, like Parcel).

I've installed Netdata on several servers and have never seen it use more than 5% CPU. I've even got it running on NAT VPSes, although I decreased the refresh rate to 5 seconds on those (not due to CPU usage, but due to RAM usage). For me, CPU usage of Netdata collecting metrics once per second is actually less than Munin…

Netdata is really awesome. Here's a post I made about it on another forum: https://hostballs.com/t/netdata-awesome-system-monitoring-tool/1662 It has per-second granularity for all the metrics it collects, so can be extremely useful for debugging CPU usage spikes that only last a few seconds (as one of the metrics it…

If the VPS supports iPXE, you might be able to use https://netboot.xyz/ to start the CentOS installer.

Can I add the extra 192 MB to one of my VPSes? lol
-
I haven't used RansomIT directly myself, but I think @mikho's Australian NAT VPSes are hosted there. Those things are faster than some of the VPSes I've tried that cost much more. For Australian VPSes, I'm using https://quantumcore.com.au/. Their parent company (GoHosting) has been open since 2003 so I don't think they're…

You can also check the commands that ServerScope uses. It does several fio tests.

Huh, interesting. It's basically the opposite in the USA - some providers are heavily pushing IPv6 in order to avoid having to implement CGNAT. For example, over 95% of traffic through T-mobile's network uses IPv6. Modern phones on the T-Mobile network only get an IPv6 address. They use 464XLAT to allow connections to…
-
If you use IPv6 at home, you don't need to use NAT - each device gets its own IP address. Similarly, on VPSes it's very useful if you have multiple Docker or LXC containers as each one can get its own public IP. That's assuming your provider gives you a routed subnet rather than just one address - any provider that knows…

* BuyVM. Been using them since 2012. A bit more expensive than many other hosts now, but the service is excellent. * QuantumCore. The best cheap Australian host I've used.

Hmm... It's always taken exact USD amounts for me

For locations that are on OpenVZ6, Debian 9 is the latest version that you can use. Debian 10 doesn't work on OpenVZ6. For OpenVZ7, if any locations don't have a Debian 10 image, you should be able to install Debian 9 then upgrade to Debian 10. Easy way to tell is to check the kernel version using uname -a; a 2.6.xxx…
-
I experienced the same issue with mine. Thought it was a mistake by me.
-
Is this because your ISP doesn't offer IPv6? Write to them and complain (because all good ISPs should have native IPv6 now), then set up a TunnelBroker tunnel. https://tunnelbroker.net/
-
Thanks for confirming!
-
What about PHP 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4? All the PHP versions you listed are EOL and no longer get security updates: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
-
Debian 8 was released in 2015... Debian 7 is ridiculously old now. For all the OpenVZ7-based services, the Debian 10 image works very well. It's likely you're not seeing Debian 7 for the OpenVZ7 services as Debian 7 images only exist for OpenVZ6.
-
CloudFront is good! BunnyCDN is also pretty good, and relatively cheap.
-
Cloudflare's free plan doesn't cache content at their CDN nodes for a long time (given the massive number of users they have, it'd be impossible to have fully primed caches for every single site) so in some cases you'll actually see worse performance when using Cloudflare compared to just having servers closer to the…
-
And I think the only reason they can even have that low level of support is thanks to paid Virtuozzo users. If Virtuozzo disappeared, OpenVZ would die along with it. I doubt any other company would pick up OpenVZ dev given there's so many other choices these days.
-
Anotger thing I forgot to mention that I really dislike about OpenVZ is its handling of CPU cores. On a VPS, when you ask how many CPUs the system has using the glibc sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) function, it returns the right number of virtual CPUs, but when you ask it which CPU the current thread is executing on using…
-
It's not just getting a custom kernel, it's also getting a modern kernel. Even OpenVZ7 still uses a 3.10 series kernel, so you're missing out on a lot of newer features. I know some newer features get backported but it's not very common. It's possible the kernel is larger than I remember, which would definitely cause a…
-
Disagree with "isn't as tested"... The Wireguard-go userspace implementation powers all the non-Linux OSes supported by Wireguard (including the Android app, iOS app, Windows version and MacOS version). I think with OpenVZ you can install the Wireguard kernel module on the host then add a Wireguard interface to a VPS, but…
-
KVM is part of the mainline Linux kernel, whereas OpenVZ is a third party kernel modification. This means OpenVZ is far more likely to disappear in the future. KVM is more future-proof. The only real use case for OpenVZ that I can think of is cheap VPS hosting where the provider can oversell more easily. For most use…

The source article is way more detailed. Very well-written. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/internet/330379-how-internet-resources-worth-r800-million-were-stolen-and-sold-on-the-black-market.html

If you set up a lot of VPSes, it's definitely worth learning how to use Ansible. You can automate everything so you can just run one command and it sets everything up :)
-
It depends on what you do during setup. If you enter a root password, it does not install sudo. However, if you do not enter a root password (just leave the password field blank), it locks the root user, installs sudo, and adds the user account you created during installation to the sudoers group. The latter is my…

Seems like the domain is pointing to some sketchy-looking parking service. https://dnstools.ws/lookup/megarbl.net/NS/ https://dnstools.ws/lookup/megarbl.net/A/ My guess is their registrar is one of those registrars that points expired domains to landing pages full of ads, rather than just showing a "this domain has…
