Hopefully this post won't offend any providers...not intended to... Alas that to be honest is a big part of the problem. Bargain pricing is the main (only?) selling point for LES sized providers. Price it higher and you're squarely in DO/Linode territory or worse GCP/Azure with all of the synergies of their other toys and…

Except he WAS seen as a reputable provider. First the whole colo shitshow now this. Whole thing has kinda shaken my faith in LES style providers. Obviously I was aware that LES pricepoint comes with risk but still. Gonna park my stuff on Azure. At least until I figure out a way to do cleaner automated backups & restores to…

Damn. Well I just checked...I got to near enough to what was promised so fine Was close though...nearly went for annual billing
-
Possibly. Downloaded some of it. It's just a blog so not too fussed Busy building a new desktop so #priorities
-
Anybody know when the servers are going down? Been procrastinating moving stuff
-
nah seemed pretty legit to me. Dude must be coining millions a year...a "btw I might personally do less vids" seems quite reasonable

Reckon Germany will be hard to beat latency wise...basically "central" Europe with ideal links in all directions

Don't think so. paypal is musk & co while stripe is ycombinator backed originally afaik

@seriesn what is the storage configuration in NY? Website looks like Nvme while switcher post says raid hdd & nvme
-
Not massively surprised. Was pretty clear that he wasn't having fun anymore. Anyway - was fun while it lasted. Thanks doc Gonna suck to replace...can't see anything comparable at that pricepoint (6 usd for a 4 core ryzen). Guess he was right about the no profit part

Pretty sure the EU never collected/received VAT...and VAT goes to the Exchequer not Westminster...

Not quite accurate https://www.gdpr.associates/gdpr-brexit/

As a side note I recall seeing this effect on another seller's site too like a year back, so at least partial blame goes to whoever made the crappy plugin Anyway...drama seems overplayed, but also hoping a fix gets implemented

Team at work has start doing quizoftheday and keeping score. Loser of week buys breakfast

Work gives me a MS Azure/MSDN subscription with 150 bucks credits a month. With no specific reason attached (I'm in finance not tech) so if my actual work bores me then I screw around with that stuff
-
Just not UK. Still can't believe they decided credit cards is a good way to verify age on their mandatory por.n filters

Maybe seriesn is a global collective with a hive mind

Jikes. sudo crontab -e and then add 0 1 * * * speedtest-cli > speedtest$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S) That should run a speedtest every day at 1AM and dump the result in a file with the current date. I think...haven't tried it. Don't think cron can do a random time though if that's what your asking. Best bet is stick it in a…
-
ugh that's bleak. Scratch that plan then
-
What tool are you using for that? Daily cron or something?
-
Why I'm glad you asked. It's node-exporter, prometheus and grafana. And it just so happens that I just finished writing a blog post on how to set this up https://kaizen.today/grafana-prometheus-docker-monitoring/ (still need to make those other changes you suggested, but wanted to pump out some articles first :)
-
There is good commentary by the founder on hn. Doesn't sound like they're in trouble or anything. Just new head honcho cleaning house
-
Unsure. Debian has systemd too, but I'd imagine they fixed it too. It's a timing question. Basically either you need a very old version without systemd (which will pull fixes over network during upgrade) or a very new version that has the fix baked in the image already. Not a major deal tbh...just puzzling if one's not…
-
Just a heads up - the Ryzens don't like the latest systemd Ubuntu. Works fine though if you start with a 18.04 image and upgrade
-
Grafana
-
Nope. That fingerprinting is absolute black magic...they're not even gonna feel the impact of this
-
And the googlebot? UA strings still seem quite important to the functioning of the internet
-
That's comforting. I tried the free tier of loader.io before, but that doesn't have sufficient firepower & the paid one starts at 100 bucks. So current plan is to using azure server(s) with siege. Raw throughput between the two is good for just over a gigabit but I'm guessing perf3 throughput doesn't translate to http…

hmm. Very tempted to upgrade my home internet to 1gbps and use this to offset some of the 35 bucks price diff....
