  • Thanks for the edit! I was wondering what was your gripe with OVH, but I didn't want to hijack the thread by asking. Wish you the best with your new server! Have fun!
  • @WSS You've been so nice to me ever since I arrived! Thank YOU @WSS
  • Hey! @Lee I know you can appreciate that I am joking when I mention that terminal doesn't work too well for uploading files to some web hosting services. :-) Or for editing a file right there on some-hosting-service's server. :-) Wanna let me have ssh? I have a little file that I'd like to move off $BIG_CLOUD.
  • Glad you loved it @flips I sincerely appreciate your feedback!! I almost didn't post this, because, you know, there is such a thing as too much "old geezer" ranting. :-) Of course, there are amazing young programmers too.
  • I never heard of termius before. From a quick look at the Termius website at https://termius.com/ : About Termius not being open source: https://support.termius.com/forums/215251-general/suggestions/7150574-can-i-trust-you How much is Termius' Monthly Recurring Recenue (MRR)?

  • @quangthang Maybe you might want to try these instructions (with a couple of minor changes that I think you will understand): https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-connect-to-vnc-using-ssh/ On Windows, maybe these instructions about PuTTY might be helpful (but maybe RealVNC Viewer has the ssh functionality built in;…
  • Awesome use of the Ides of March Free VPS! Congrats to @quangthang!
  • I would like to thank everyone who has participated in or helped with the Ides of March free VPS program. Just this morning, I received a message from a user who said, in part, "I'm very happy with this VPS. It's fast and runs stable so far. I had and have servers that do not perform as good as this one does." Yesterday I…
  • Hey! A few slots are available, so I am looking forward to meeting you! To request your free VPS, please send @Not_Oles a Private Message here on LES containing your ssh public key. Please also include (1) your name, (2) email address, and (3) phone number if you do not mind sharing this information. Please remember to…
  • Replied in the Cest Pit. Thanks!
  • Right now there are two available spaces, maybe three if I give away mine. To request your free VPS, please send @Not_Oles a Private Message here on LES containing your ssh public key. Please also include (1) your name, (2) email address, and (3) phone number if you do not mind sharing this information. Don't forget to…
  • You posted prior to the start time.
  • @mukshai Right now we are out of IPs. I expect to add another server, and maybe we can add a few more IPs to the existing server. I will be watching the load averages to see whether additional IPs would seem okay. I can't say much about the exact time schedule for more slots. At best a few days. Maybe longer. Anybody…
  • Hi @Ganonk! We seem to have two more slots because I added four more IP addresses and allocated two. There now are 12 slots all together. Could you please send me a private message about what you want to do with the VPS plus also the information requested in the first post: ssh public key, name, email address, and phone…
  • Every backup system has trouble sometimes. Use at least two remote providers plus one or maybe even two local, external hard drives stored in different places. Make sure there is no single point of failure. Encrypt at least the remote backups if there is anything sensitive. Make backups at fixed intervals, and keep some of…
  • There are many here who know a lot more than me. Could some of you guys please help out by giving advice on the following question, which somebody asked me in a Private Message earlier today: Here is what I said:
  • I am super delighted that the CentOS network problem reported yesterday has been mitigated. I just delivered a CentOS 8 VPS with all it's software upgraded with dnf. CentOS 7 also has been tested, and it also works. If you and I talked about CentOS, I will be messaging you again soon. Meanwhile, please don't hesitate to…
  • @AlSwearengen My impression, which could be wrong, is that the high disk numbers might be not because of the ext4 and raid1 on the rust but instead might be because the Proxmox LXC containers "think" they are running zfs. All slots on the first server presently are allocated. We have somebody working on using his VPS as a…
  • Maybe my original post should have explained the reason why I asked for phone numbers and the reason why I mentioned Signal App: Signal App and a phone number allow container users to get in touch with me very quickly whenever they need help -- even if I am not at my computer. Also, Signal App has a pretty good reputation…
  • I think I have responded to everyone who sent me a Private Message. If I missed your message, please message again. In my original post, above, I forgot to ask people to mention in their PMs their choice of distribution and release! I also forgot to give credit to @david for suggesting Proxmox VE6, which is what is running…

  • Based on running / helping to run five MTA servers for a year (three personal, and two business), I'd guess that the type of emails being sent and their quantity might be more important than other factors, such as IP address, DKIM, DMARC, ARC, and maybe TLD. All four servers that send (one just receives), send only…
  • People here might be interested in a thread I recently saw on Hacker News which mentioned Hetrixtools. Here is a link to the post in the HN thread which mentioned Hetrixtools: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22406960 After reading the entire HN thread, I came off it surprised at the number of anecdotal reports of DNS…

  • Haha! I checked the end of the thread to see if the promotion was over. Then I registered my account and posted the key without first refreshing the page. And the promotion was over! @Andrei Want to make it 63? :-)
  • 71a6958ae19abb28daad9198d82e8343 Hi! Thanks very much! Tom
  • @benj0x @seriesn @Clouvider Thanks for generously wanting me to have a solution to the issue here and for posting suggestions about how to achieve a resolution. @Clouvider Thanks for mentioning mtr. For anybody who doesn't know about mtr, please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTR_(software)
  • It's fun that the ping time from flovps seems to be about 268 ms versus about 160 ms to flowvps and 209 ms to OVH SYD. I didn't seem to find an easy way to get a ping from OVH SYD.
