  • Any international event originally scheduled for March or April has been rescheduled for June or September. I'm positive those won't be delayed any further. EDIT: I see the Bundesrat in Swiss has decided to obliterate any event there, I find it unlikely they won't be eventually rescheduled. Honestly.
  • Handling a mail server isn't that impracticable mess some people describe if outbound filtering isn't necessary (i.e. not a relay, no newsletters, no transactional mails) Sure, you have to keep an eye on the reputation of your IPv4; and maybe you have to be ready to switch IPv4 in another block as an extreme measure...…
  • None of my ex failed so swiftly, badly and early like (allegedly) this NVMe model when you're younger that's something you should absolutely try I guess
  • they recently revamped their control panel; not that I use it a lot and it's not something I'd weight in when going shopping. Their ticket support was awful last time I needed it (~9 months ago) but maybe things have improved. I have one serving as Asian PoP for services running on Hetzner and another one actually…
  • I'd generally avoid RAID-5 (it's 2020 already!) and go for either RAID-1, RAID-10 or RAID-6 (depending on your requirements); RAIDZ3 only if your OCD is grave enough
  • I usually perform a set of action required to score 80+ on lynis. While the score, per se, is mostly pointless, some of the suggestions aren't pointless to me. These involve: * automating install of security updates on a pre-defined day of the week (usually on Sunday), followed by a restart of the involved processes. I…
  • I'd point, for reference, to these topics: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/137/simple-free-monitoring-tool https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/270/lightweight-server-monitoring/
  • I'm a simple man. I see Alpaca. I vote Alpaca. I never use a smartphone to browse the Internet unless exceptionally required, not to mention a forum. I'm an old millennial after all I'd add a css to make signature blink on mobile only, so those dissatisfied with their mobile rendering would be dissatisfied enough to flag…
  • You're still asking about DNS, right? There isn't a one-size-fits-it-all solution, really. Most of the features a managed DNS solution may offer are often overlooked. I'd say your needs and expectations are more than covered with a Cloudflare's free account. That alone offers short TTL & anycast'd DNS for more records you…
  • This is a separate topic but I'd reply here, even if you you've been kindly asking via DM too, since I generally follow the "default to open" approach (and others may correct me or add something too) When we talk about authoritative DNS (not: DNS resolvers, just authoritative DNS), latency isn't really that important if…
  • First you should identify your needs. Do you need a lot of bandwidth, or you're just looking for better latency? Do you manage a streaming site, or a wordpress blog? Then, you'd look to optimize for your usage case. It's complicated. If your provider is a Cloudflare partner and can deploy Railgun, and if you can put those…
