100GB for $4.50 a month sounds expensive. I suspect most people would rather have multiple backups on different cheaper providers than one backup on an expensive provider who promises that it's RAID under the hood, because that's only addressing one point of failure - the disk, whereas proper multiple backup locations can…

I've bolded the relevant part. I had previously just quoted the relevant part, but that quote got removed so I quoted the whole section this time.

This: Regardless of how you spin it, that is unquestioningly racist. Assuming that because you've have a bad experience with some people from a country that everyone else from there is also bad. And if you didn't mean it to be racist, I'm not sure why you even mentioned it. OK, yeah fair point. My dictionary has a far more…

You know he could have just replied "This offer was only available last year". That would have been fine. Saying, "you know what, I think you're trying to take advantage, and so I'm increasing your price from the next renewal" would have been a crappy move, but still up to the provider to renege on a recurring deal. But to…

You might feel justified in your actions, but it surely takes seconds to just close a support ticket. Regardless of whether you think their request was pointless or not, that does not justify cancelling their already paid-for service with just a weekend's notice not because they violated any terms of service, but because…

Hold on. WTF??? Customers can be a PITA, but actually look at that invoice. It is for immediate payment of $5 (due date same as invoice) with a note that if it's not paid within 48 hours his existing, already paid for, service will be terminated immediately. IMHO, no matter how much of an irritation support tickets are,…

Oh, so Neighbourhood Discovery is just the IPv6 name for ARP? I guess I probably am using that then! I guess I still don't know what the difference between routed and non-routed IPv6 is.
-
I'm actually interested in what @yoursunny considers to be routed vs non-routed IPv6. From what I can tell on the internet, routed seems to be things that use Neighbourhood Discovery... Someone else here then said it's when you can just use any IP address you like without pre-configuring it. But, e.g. in my home setup…

I didn't try your beta, just clicked on the link in your signature, which I guess is the same project. It doesn't seem possible to determine what regions you provide services in without going through the ordering process, and the first step of that requires you to register. Maybe it's just me, but as a user, I prefer to…

Apologies for not adding more info. I did a similar proxy to a US VPS with Racknerd in LA and run iperf directly on that machine. I was getting about 300Mbps direct but for some reason the forwarding to a VM that did wireguard and forwarded on to the RN machine seemed to top out at about 130Mbps. Not sure why yet why it…

A counter point to this is that I've helped proof-read some Chinese friends' theses before they submitted. They'd already done a couple of iterations through grammarly and it was happy with their work, but as a native English speaker I found them all to have glaringly bad grammar errors. Maybe they just ignored those…

Oh oops. Yeah. Brain fart!

The Kimsufi KS-1 is about €5 + tax a month. Officially comes with 2TB, but often has 4TB now. The CPU is very slow though and bandwidth is limited to 100Mbps. EDIT: ignore this!
-
So, initial tests using that (as it was already set up) seem pretty good for up to 100Mbps. My direct setup is: (unecrypted) laptop -> wifi -> 192.168.1.1 (pfsense) -> WAN -> internet -> gra.proof.ovh.net My test set up using the tunnel is: (unecrypted) laptop -> wifi -> 192.168.1.1 (pfsense) -> 192.168.3.2 (wireguard…

This is bad advice from the moment you start selling things to customers. If everything goes wrong, as a sole trader you are personally liable for any debts. If your provider increases costs and you can't make ends meet any more because people no longer think you offer value for money, it's you personally who will go…

Everything about this screams "Just do a full re-install at start from scratch"! First of all the domain name. Looks sketchy AF. Then automating downloading of a script and running it on a regular basis with no oversight of what the script is doing. Big red flag. Deleting the script afterwards leaves no forensic evidence…
-
Wireguard is no longer supported on recent versions of pfsense, so I'm going to roll my own linux VM to share a route48.org amongst some other VMs on it. Obviously I won't be in much control of throughput on that, and it feels a bit like abuse for a free service. I do have a wireguard proxy set up to another VM at OVH…

N5105 router with 4x 2.5GbE from aliexpress. I've installed 8GB Crucial DRAM and 480GB WD Green NVMe. Only just got it and set up proxmox on it, so before even bothering setting up the virtualised pfSense install, I thought I'd set up a quick VM for testing yabs. ralf@yabs:~$ bash yabs.sh |tee yabs.1gig.passthru.txt# ## ##…

There's quite a lot of good options around this price point where for Epyc / Ryzen vCPU and both IPv4 and IPv6. You haven't even mentioned what CPU yours is, so a YABS would be good otherwise there's absolutely no way of telling if this is decent value or not.

VPS baby! I need to go on a diet anyway.

This thread of lovejet's was closed on OGF: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/180047/is-reliablesite-net-reliable Also, I'm pretty impressed he managed to download at 10Gbps and yet still wants to moan about the network connectivity!

What if he doesn't have enough storage to store the result? :p

Just as a grammar point, "Virtual Dedicated" is the correct thing. "Virtually Dedicated" means nearly but not quite dedicated.

I agree with everything you said, and agree with the sentiment of this statement too, but it's a bit optimistic to say 40 years. Think back to what the computing landscape looked like 40 years ago. I wouldn't place bets on any of the cloud platforms existing in the state they're in now in 20 years let alone 40. Also, while…
