I would setup an extra vm and run FreeNAS or similar on it and share the storage from there via iscsi of nfs, depending on requirements.

Use libpam-oath and Authy if that makes you feel better. Or whatever other app you feel comfortable with. https://www.g2.com/categories/multi-factor-authentication-mfa

While I agree with the nice gesture part, I don't think anyone would want that to actually happen. Just imagine if every business that uses FOSS in any way would run a mirror. We would have millions of flaky ass mirrors running on old hardware and crappy uplinks maintained by idiots that have no idea what they are doing.…

Dashboards, plural. I have a lot. :smile: And sorry but no, I'd rather not. They contain lots of hostnames and other info that I prefer not to post on a public forum. But if you want to look at dashboards for inspiration there are thousands at https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards. If you just want some of the simple…

I just use simple scripts, mostly sh but some perl and php, to collect the metrics I want. Its mostly just pingtimes and checks to see of a process is running or a service is responding on a certain port. Most of my checks are just a few lines of sh that echoes a textstring to influxdb using nc, so its really nothing…

Google banned the Fortnite app the same day Apple did, on the same basis. Google takes exactly the same cut as Apple, with the same terms. Epic sued Google too, but for some reason media only focuses on the Apple lawsuit.
-
This was a well planned trap by Epic. Apple clearly states that in-app purchases has to go trough Apple Pay, so that they can take a 30% cut. However, there is a clause stating that goods and assets used outside of the app itself, does not have to be purchased trough Apple Pay. This is of course to facilitate for apps like…

They do have ipv6, so I just use that.
-
Most of my clients are in Europe so I don't really need that...but yeah, I might do it just for the awesome Grafana dashboard I could make with metrics from the whole world. :smile:
-
I have 5 x mrvm that I use for monitoring. Being able to measure things from different networks in different parts of the world for basically no money at all is awesome. They all collect metrics and feed it to a central Influxdb which is then used by Grafana to draw pretty graphs on a monitor in my office. Looks pretty…

Really nice, thank you.

Among the lowend players, I think Racknerd should be mentioned. Not a longtime player yet, but it seems like they are growing fast. Big boys not mentioned yet are Ionos by 1and1 (www.ionos.com) and MissHosting (www.misshosting.com). 1and1 is gigantic and I'm sure a lot of the lowend VPS providers here with presence in…

I agree with KamalW. Barracuda is poorly maintained and seems to be run by total assholes. I have never in my life sent spam or abused in any way, still I have spent many many hours fighting to get removed from Barracuda's list. Sometimes successfully, but most times not.

I'm using restic, and I must say I really like it. It's lightweight, easy to use, efficient and very scriptable.
-
Hell yeah, I would switch my linux NAT vps's for jails in a second!

My guess is that Netflix doesn't really care if you use VPN or not, so they probable does not have all the latest bells and whistles when it comes to detecting it. The restriction on content in different parts of the world comes from the big moviecompanies, not Netflix. Netflix just obeys to be able to stream the content…
-
I actually really like Discord. It's fast, easy and efficient. For pure bullshit and chitchat it's perfect. As a business, privacy becomes a concern. But then there is always Mattermost, which you can run selfhosted.
-
I had similar issues a while ago so I tested a lot of solutions, but landed on Authy. The only thing that bugs me a little is that it is not open source, but I feel that the company behind it is solid enough to be trusted as much as anything else (which depending on the size of your tinfoil hat may be nothing or a lot).
-
Oh no, you are by far not the only idiot, there are plenty of you out there. ;) I'm glad you took my comment the right way, now that I read it again I realize that it might have sounded a far bit harsher then intended. I apologize even if I sense that it is not needed. :smiley: What I was trying to say was that it does not…

Well, if you chose to agree upon a contract you haven't even read, that is your choice, but don't assume that everyone is equally stupid.
-
Well, if the cancellation policy is stated in the contract and you have agreed to that contract, most people in Germany (or Europe as a whole I would imagine) would consider it your own fault for agreeing to it. We simply hate people that try to change the rules after agreeing to them, and most businesses does not want…
-
I would say pretty much every point you made can be said about Swedish providers as well, take it from a native Swede that have lived and worked in Germany. We are very similar when it comes to consumer protection, the customers have a lot of protection and rights against the provider. Both German and Swedish businesses…
-
I second that. In most cases I just need space, not performance. I have no need for ssd/nvme and lots of ram and cpu.
-
Since we are on the topic, can someone explain the purpose of the "nameservers" boxes? I see them almost every time I sign up for a vps, but I have never been able to figure out what they do. It doesn't seem to matter what you put there, the vps will be configured with whatever nameservers the provider see fit anyway. And…
-
I have a vps in Norway, and it's been having a lot of packetloss and timeouts lately. As I'm typing this it is unreachable from seven other locations, but reachable from two.
-
I've used http://www.gestioip.net/ a few times. It's not perfect, but in many cases sufficient.
-
I don't blame you, at first glance Acronis can look like a bit of a mess, but its really just one product with different packaging/licensing. Once you get to know their AnyData Engine then you can use all of their products, the rest is just branding.

Changing ssh port doesn't really make it secure, it just makes it harder to find. If you truly believed security by obscurity worked, you would change your ssh port and then have no passwords. Hopefully, you don't do that. Real security is filtering the ssh port and only allowing connections from trusted hosts, denying…

Probably the service provider licensing, they have lots of licensing options and integrates well with cpanel, whmcs and most others.
