  • True! But, if it's going to be a cat and mouse game with the RIAA, there is a chance that these too will disappear (At least from official repos.. for a moment, I imagined being forced to get FOSS software sources/packages from a shady warez :D) Probably quite a few reasons here, the ones I came up with: -Your home…
  • Since I just sshed to my new server for the first time, let me share the benchmark right away. (location: Romania) Basic System Information:---------------------------------Processor : Common KVM processorCPU cores : 1 @ 1795.649 MHzAES-NI : ❌ DisabledVM-x/AMD-V : ❌ DisabledRAM : 486MSwap : 819MDisk : 1.0Tfio Disk Speed…
  • @cociu Thank you for your swift response! One more question: can you fix the TOS link, because it's a 404... http://en.hostsolutions.ro/about/tos
  • @cociu Is this a recurring offer? (Would I be paying the same 50 eur for 2023-2026?)
  • This news itself isn't that interesting given that this is really bare bones (I took a glance at their features and prices pages and couldn't find any mention of persistent volumes nor load balancers, only VMs - weird pricing), and there already is some lowend competition providing full fledged k8s (Linode, DO, Scaleway…
  • @raman2020: thanks! (although I have to say i generally am skeptical of any lifetime deal.. but assuming it would last a couple of years, not bad :) Found another option with supposedly unlimited storage (although still almost 100% above the budget requested by OP, but cheaper than multiple Gsuite/Dropbox Business…
  • Er, wrong URL? (or they just pulled the lifetime deals)
  • Hobbies as in you your personal blog that you are not going to make money with it? How about the wordpress.com free tier then? I'd say it's the best for a personal blog! Pros Stable (maybe not Facebook/Google level lol, but they are not going away any time soon) Fast + great uptime Comments with great anti-spam (Akismet)…
  • Is FTP access a must? In case it is, perhaps https://1fichier.com/tarifs.html - although you'd have to split those containers into smaller files... Also first and foremost, what is the use case here BTW? Also, 1. Are you OK with this data possibly being lost ? (i.e. you don't expect the storage to be redundant) 2. Do you…
  • I wasn't able to find neither Folding@Home nor BOINC for Android/iOS, but apparently there is this something similar - an app called Dreamlab - you can use while charging your phone/tablet during the night: https://www.standard.co.uk/tech/coronavirus-research-app-vodafone-dreamlab-a4409806.html
  • I do not have much to add, as @tetech basically spelled my thoughts.. But you might also consider taking a look at https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=0VI-9Q7-24G to get an idea what your competitors' prices are (a rather broad view, both major and minor providers are listed here, many of which are present on these forums…
  • Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I was trying to make the point that in use cases featuring rather constant high CPU usage, then (and only then) it might be a good idea to use Scaleway - provided they'd allow it (i.e. that these indeed are dedicated CPU or at least close-to-dedicated CPU instances). (Also, I guess your YABS…
  • Let me be a possible devil's advocate :) @willie said: Any idea what Scaleway's policies are for sustained CPU usage? I'm not posting hyperscale clouds as they are obviously expensive, but other dedicated core offers aren't the cheapest either, example: https://www.linode.com/pricing/ I am not a Scaleway customer so I…
  • This is no hard science, but to give you an idea what might be a bad idea: https://security-soup.net/good-domains-for-bad-guys-the-riskiest-tlds-for-malware-and-phishing/ https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/ Basically it seems all cheap domains have a bad rep... and this makes me think that any choice below 5$/year…
  • Um... I know they're having a sale now, your point being?
  • You're right, it's even more than that lol.. https://www.namecheap.com/domains/#pricing -> $27.88 inb4 $3.88: I was specifically referring to regular renewal pricing - as far as sales go, Porkbun's current promotional renewal pricing is still below 3 USD https://porkbun.com/tld/stream
  • Uh, sorry, stability being? Could you please elaborate - perhaps any of the following? A: the domain still being available after 2 years? B: the domain still being cheap after 2 years? C: the registrar being consistently cheap - tracing TLD owner's prices (=if the wholesale price goes down, the registrar also makes it…
  • Won't hurt. Although just by looking at this screen I can't say whether the emails were forged so, ideally, do not use the link inside the email, but enter it the websites via a search engine or type their URLs directly inside your browser. (BTW I just checked my email, seems I didn't receive such a notice from Mega)
  • https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-t4g-instances-burstable-performance-powered-by-aws-graviton2/ NOTE: it's not 100% free, as you will still have to pay for the HDD (min. 8GB AFAIR, some 0.3 USD in the cheapest regions) and possibly egress (some 0.1 USD / GB depending on the region, but the first 1 GB each month is free)…
  • A: Fair enough! B: I agree 100% that it's suboptimal, but (forgive me for my sticklerish nature ;) ) even if the VPS were to be throttled, assuming it would have been an otherwise idle instance, I still think that making your (existing, fully prepaid & completely idling) server travel those 10 miles on a skateboard isn't…
  • OK, I'll bite! ;) If you're hinting at the fact that it's forbidden on LES NAT VPS, there was already a warning inside this thread... BUT! as a broad generalization, allow me to disagree :>:>:> For example, there are 'regular' VPS like Vultr that do not explicitly forbid these kinds of things, but instead they say they'd…
  • Sorry, I'm lost, but assuming it's a US company with staff in the Ukraine, where exactly is the EU/RU exposure? (the US exposure being registered as an American company)
  • Thanks for the tip, but my credits won't last that long so I guess I'll pass.. Also, do you really earn that much? As in, including your electricity costs? https://www.techradar.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070 says the card itself was some 500 USD - hope you didn't buy it specifically for mining ^^' Sorry for being so…
  • Hey guys, I was about to start a new thread about Folding at Home, but luckily found this one first, so I'm bumping it instead! It's not that difficult to setup, but to make your lives easier, here goes a quick start for Linux: 1. Ubuntu (suggested because of easier setup) optional: install wget (in case you don't have it…
  • Wow, thanks man! Could you please try these checking for these two? https://unogs.com/title/80011356 (Germany or Switzerland) https://unogs.com/title/81026951 (Mexico)
  • Which countries are you referring to here? By any chance, have you tried any of the Latin American (esp. CL/MX) or European (esp. AT/DE/CH/ES) locations? I'm asking because I'd be interested in watching region specific Netflix content (btw, personal recommendation: I love the by country search at https://www.unogs.com),…
  • aaronstuder, this is a great course! I passed CKA last month thanks to the practice tests it includes.. One note of warning though, the exam has changed this month (it's no longer CKA, but CKA2020) so it might be not as effective as it used to - as in, until last month, you were basically 100% sure to pass the test as long…
  • What... thanks for the warning, really didn't see that one coming... OTL Since over 1h has already pased, I can't edit the original post anymore, but this definitely means .feedback is a no-no :'(
  • What's the cheapest TLD renewal you have seen? 0.65 USD .cyou at Alibaba Cloud (but since they are involved in some shady business [1] and have terrible reviews [2][3][4], personally I'd opt for the already suggested Porkbun) What TLD would you consider using? if money were not an issue, I'd go for com, otherwise: .cyou…
  • I agree with seanho - k3s might be a good idea if you want something lightweight. 4. Does Kubernetes allow to deploy a container only to a specific node? Let's say that I'd like to run a Minecraft server on Kimsufi so that it doesn't overload the lower specs VPS, is that possible? Yes!
