1) just the usual drama like cpanel/DA etc. If you're already using whm then sure, whatever is easiest, I just wouldn't want to get even more deeply locked into it. 2, 3) It is pretty easy to get started with both emacs and org-mode, and gradually use more and more of it, but maybe the project planning stuff would take a…

1) I'd stay away from whmcs in general 2) I tend to want to use org mode for everything (org-mode.org) and it has features for that, but it helps to already be an emacs weenie if you want to use it. 3) there are a bunch of different free alternatives that i haven't studied but there's lots out there, including the old…

Oh well I guess I missed this. 1tb slices would have been a completely different setup and 12tb on 1 drive was a bit too much for me, but I could have been interested in 4tb or 6tb or even 2x 6tb on separate drives for raid.

8 minute video of Oles speaking about the incident. I haven't watched it yet but he looks kind of stressed. Understandable of course. He does sound calm, at least in the first few seconds. https://www.ovh.com/fr/images/sbg/Octave-Klaba-speaking-en-vid.mp4

I saw something in one of the French news articles linked further up that the firefighters had trouble at first because they couldn't shut off the electricity to the DC, fwiw.

Hope this isn't in SBG.

I have a kinsufi server in rbx if that can help anyone transfer backups from there. Also have one at BHS if that matters. Sympathy to everyone affected.

I'm glad everyone at the scene is ok and that all the users have good backups.

Yes it happened to me. I don't mean to imply they did it without warning--they sent out notifications well ahead of time, but it was still pretty obnoxious to not just migrate the data automatically. The whole c14 concept was long term archiving that you don't have to pay attention to, and they messed it up completely. I…

If this site actually produces enough revenue to sneeze at, I'd like to see it spent on developing hosting software such as a free billing panel. The site would then also become the de facto community support and bug tracking platform for the software, and that would attract more hosts, who would put up more offers and…

Congrats to both Ant and Clouvider!

Haven't had crashing per se. Had some weird compute errors that looked to me like bad memory, so I opened a ticket and their techs swapped out the dimms. They say they do that on suspicion of errors. I guess they put them on a memory tester after swapping, and cycle them back into their servers if the tests pass. Also had…

The attraction is way more cpu speed (13 cores I guess), some of the time. Also it would include 2TB of SSD instead of 1TB. And I'd want DE location. I think you are right though, ax41 may suit me better. My i7-3770 was a great deal when I got it 3+ years ago but current stuff in the auction is even better (my i7 is also…

Interesting, some specs here: * https://business.kioxia.com/content/dam/kioxia/shared/business/ssd/doc/dSSD-XD5-1-product-brief.pdf * https://eshop.comm2ig.dk/kioxia-ssd-datacent-ssd-3840gb-nvme-pcie/cat-p/c/p1000632056 Kioxia is the new name for Toshiba Memory Systems. Anyway it appears to be a TLC drive though intended…

Would around 35 euro for 1/4 of the base machine plus whatever for HDD space (would need other users wanting that too I guess) be reasonable? Are you still thinking of doing a separate storage server? I'm a little bit scared to commit to this just now, even though it makes sense for me in principle. I'm currently paying 28…
-
32 slices = you're supplying yet another small cheap KVM product. There's tons of that already. I'd be interested in something 1/4 of such a machine with a way of cpu-bursting to the whole machine, especially with added HDD. I don't need any ipv4 or NAT (pure v6 is fine since it's for private infrastructure). How does this…

Data center QLC is a thing though: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12423/micron-readies-3d-qlc-nand-based-datacenter-ssds-for-nearline-storage It does have good hosting applications, i.e. for serving lots of static files. Much faster access than HDD's and cheaper than more durable SSD's, just not built for lots of write…
-
A big attraction of a box like that is using all the cores to compute something fast, and that doesn't really fit in with multiple users with vm's. I guess it's still quite a good cpu and ssd to cost ratio as a VM box though. Also I'd like to know the write endurance of the ssd's. I fear they might be QLC given the very…
-
Wow, the AX101 is just NUTS. It's a real value leader. If someone here gets one, can they post the make/model of the SSD's? The one thing worrying me is that they might be the low-write-endurance QLC drives I've seen mentioned that are intended for read-heavy applications. I'd almost rather have HDD's in that case. I…
-
WIth the 10 drive box use raid 6. Thing is with raid0 on 4 drives there is almost a guaranteed eventual fail losing the whole thing instead of just 1/4 of it. How active a server are you planning to make this? The disk bandwidth shouldn't really matter if it's primarily for backups. Transfers will be limited by the network…
-
I'd be terrified of raid 0. Better no raid at all. You don't get that striping speedup, but at least if 1 drive fails the other 3 are intact. I'd be interested in somewhat less than half of an sx63. More like 1/8, but hmm maybe could think about 1/2 so would have space to spare. How would cpu be apportioned? I'd want to…

Tbh, I usually just use email even for chat-like conversations. For more privacy and chattiness I have a self hosted nextcloud server with the talk/chat add-on.
-
Hetzner storage share is just nextcloud, I think. No idea about koofr. I have a self-hosted nextcloud on a vultr VM near me which isn't that cost effective, but it was convenient to set up and I wanted a nearby location because I use it for stuff like voice chat as well as files. I will try to move it to a lower end VM…

I find this a lot more interesting: https://www.clockworkpi.com/devterm

That's a compact re ryzen box on special for $400. Nice alternative to a Mac mini or NUC but not in anything like the sbc space.

@jamesmd those are pi model 1B's? How do you plan to fix them? Do any work? They have full sized hdmi output right? I might be interested in buying one or two, if you're in the US (not sure). Purpose is to make a TV typewriter for my mom's TV as she is hearing impaired.

I don't see much point to a wifi version that will be more expensive. Just get an ESP32 module, or a pi zero W.
