I'm so long behind that I just recently upgraded some machines from Jessie to Buster. So much for state of the art... but there's nothing like stability from Debian. Of course many would say I live in the stone age but I'll gracefully show myself out before precipitating things... Now to figure out how to get rid of some…

If you're only looking for network information (and not detailed protocol specific stuff), I suggest you take a look at vnstat - it's a very lightweight interface monitoring tool that keeps track of traffic totals (in+out).

I thought I'd just add my random $0.02 - one of the funky things with (I think) newer kernels and/or systemd (or some crazy lunar configuration between them) is that the there's some dynamic sorcery going on for automatic bridge devices (at least at startup). What seems to happen is that the mac address is dynamically…

For those who care, Singapore DC2 is Leaseweb (volume network if you care even more). LW generally has very good (and consistent) peering to multiple locations in the APAC region - so it's usually a good network to have presence on (even if volume). I really doubt anyone is going to be able to directly benefit from the…
-
@mikho - have you considered a "flexible" bundle - so something along the lines of x VMs of 256 MB that we (the customers) can instantiate/destroy as needed (you can maybe even restrict it geographically so only 1 or 2 in each continent or whatever). I'm not sure how this'll play with resources on the machine, but it'll be…

From the post: So OpenVZ7.

Thanks. It wasn't a config issue at all then - nice to know.

Care to share for others benefit? Separately, I remember from a while back, that there was a similar issue I faced with a provider when my IPv6 connectivity would mysteriously drop for some time and then magically reappear as if nothing happened. After a fair bit of back and forth and some involvement from the provider, it…

Don't forget to factor in some crazy routes because many providers will go with "cheap" transit. This often times results in some utterly useless routing despite Anycast "best intentions". This is especially true for mass broadband/residential/mobile carriers and the like (esp. if they are "big"). Unfortunately, I've not…

Depending on the space in question, I typically end up using both ext4 (on lvm/mdadm) and zfs (directly over raw disks). I usually use ext4 on the root (OS) volume along with some space for VMs (that can be run on lvm/ext4). I also have a separate zfs pool for either additional storage or VMs running on zfs (for…

Actually a lot of times, the issue is to have encryption at rest, especially for the "casual" users. This sort of protects people from mistakes and human errors (on the providers or others including law enforcement's part). Paranoid folks will encrypt from their end on top of whatever the provider does (don't trust…

If you're OK going a bit south (<8ms) to (almost) Houston (actually slightly north of Houston) consider https://dataideas.com/ (DataIdeas-Josh at the OGF, I don't think he's registered/active here). Definitely worth considering.

Happy Birthday @mikho! As you age, I hope you keep adding more (preferably exotic) locations to your NAT offerings. Yet another idler added thanks to your generous offers! I've honestly lost track of what I have and where. Oh well... that's for another day of painful auditing.

Separately, I'd be very wary of a such a huge raid-0 setup. Any disk dies and the whole array goes kaput. Better to just treat each disk separately and slice it among that particular disks users proportionally. If something bad were to happen, you only loose that one disk and only those users suffer. Plus as @teamacc has…
-
What was I thinking... maybe someday though that looks too far fetched for mere mortals like me. Though @lentro will disagree... That makes sense. If you literally divide the server into 30 "chunks" evenly, netting 100GB NVMe + 1 vCPU + 4GB RAM at roughly $5/month (including 1 IPv4) will be > break even for you cost wise…
-
One suggestion, in case it hasn't crossed your mind (yet), is to have both RAID 1 (mdadm) for your main OS (avoid ZFS only because rescue with ZFS isn't very straightforward). A simple <50GB partition should do the trick for Proxmox and friends. Have a separate RAID 1 setup (either mdadm or ZFS) for the OS for your VMs -…

Good Luck @AnthonySmith and looking forward to more interesting things from you now that you'll have a long overdue carefree vacation where you can rest assured that @Clouvider's team will look after the customers. I hope now that you're onboard with @Clouvider Dom and Team will finally kick off some super dooper…

Isn't it supposed to be 3.84 TB x 2? I just posted https://talk.lowendspirit.com/post/quote/2505/Comment_55726 for @willie - could you post your drive details as well?
-
From this comment on the OGF it is TOSHIBA KXD51RUE3T84 and it seems pretty solid (TLC per the specs and 1 DWPD - so enough and more endurance that you shouldn't worry about it!).
-
Oh Tom... Oh @Not_Oles ... : <3 Not one but two... uber drooling.
-
Knowing Hetzner and the fact that they mention these as datacenter SSDs I'd assume that they have pretty decent endurance. Irrespective, I also assume that if you're nearing end of life on these drives, they will replace them without issue (and quickly at that). So all in all, I'd assume that you're covered as far as these…

proper encryption needs code to be written in a correct verifiable way. So if code is badly written, there is no guarantee that the encryption is correctly implemented and so this will be all the more worrisome - not something that can be trusted/depended on. I'd be very wary of using their code to rely on encryption and…
-
I only hope this results in some good all round this-is-the-new-normal kind of storage options. It's been a while in the making to get some sort of a new threshold on storage and @Hetzner_OL has really set a new standard! As @willie pointed out, I think now it is time to expect some good changes on their storage boxes as…
