Are any of those books known to be good? They all seem a little lame. If someone here is involved, that's great, otherwise the game bundle looks better if you're into games. I've seen some good book bundles in the past though.

keys only, standard port, no vpn, no jump box, no ip locking, fail2ban blocks persistent scanners. Maybe I should upgrade some of this but it hasn't been an issue afaict so far. For work boxes we are much more serious, but there are real admins running them too. Jump box istm works best if all your stuff is at a single…

Boost freq is only available when temperature allows it. If you run something compute intensive on all cores, the chip heats up and runs at base freq. Threadripper is single socket but has higher base freq so they are the fastest single chips.
-
Oh I see, the high frequency plans are still there at the same prices as before, and hopefully the same overall specs. Sounds good. I see they now have a $2.50/month 0.5gb plan. Maybe I can switch my $5 plan to that, for my super low traffic nextcloud. Thanks.
-
They got rid of the high freq $6/m plan? I used that a little and it was great, oh well. For $6/m now it's harder to compete with Hetzner.

There are 3 separate questions here: 1) protecting your email content from surveillance by e.g. state agencies: for that you need end to end encryption. 2) Preventing your email content from being collected and analyzed by personal profiling companies like google: for that, it helps to use smaller providers, who simply…

I stay away from google anything when I can. I'm happy with fastmail.

This is threadripper pro which gets rid of that limit. New limit is 2TB iirc.
-
Looks to be 2.4x(?) the speed of ryzen 9 5950x, and maybe 10x the price. I have to wonder what people are doing with these super high end cpus, other than virtualization. Yes there are a few applications that require all the cores in one place, but for most large compute tasks I'd figure out how to use a fleet of smaller…

Is Canada (Quebec) ok? @servarica_hani may still have some storage vps there.
-
Anyone notice if storage share has faster transfers in practice than storage box? Wondering because it's more of a file sharing product, as the name implies.
-
Has the cost of electricity in DE changed much due to current events? :( Here in USA, gasoline is more expensive than before. I don't know yet about electricity.
-
I believe one account does everything. I have a vague memory of custom domains only being available for the larger storageshare sizes, but I don't see anything about that in the docs, so maybe they got rid of that restriction. https://docs.hetzner.com/konsoleh/storage-share/configuration/subdomain/

Yes I do see old SX servers (usually i7-2600) in the auction sometimes. I guess your team knows better than I do, but I would have thought what I suggested was a common use case. RIght now, my new 5TB Storage Box has taken some of the disk pressure off my auction server, so I'm ok for a while.
-
I thought Hetzner was also a low end provider so at the beginning of your post I thought you were about to say you were moving away from them, heh. Yeah I've had terrific hardware uptime and hardware support with Hetzner. There has been some trouble with network routes on and off though: I've had pretty big slowdowns…
-
Thanks Katie, bypassing setup fees is always welcome here ;). A lot of us want low cost storage servers though, and not that many care about 64GB of ram. Could you ask your colleagues for an AX41 HDD configuration with the same price (same hardware cost), but with less ram and more HDD? Say 32gb ram and 2x 4TB instead of…

Yeah I'd also want to know how well a laptop runs linux before I thought about buying it. Idr whether the Frame.work uses arm. I think it is possible to build a reasonable laptop around a raspberry pi or similar, tbh. It wouldn't be for hardcore development since I always use remote servers for that anyway.

Stay away from refurbs jeez.

Thanks, I'm not familiar with Elementor and don't use wordpress so I'll have to take your word that there is some kind of value here. I host a few basic static websites on free hosting and a self-coded dynamic site on a low end vps, but none are as fancy as wordpress.
-
Um why would anyone on LES care about this? Could a $5/y shared hosting plan not handle that amount of workload?
-
For this reason I would not even think of using anything that is closed source. If we have the source code we ought to be able to get it working on a 2042 machine somehow. I kept using a 1980s text formatter til not that long ago.
-
Heh, I think a lot of my 1.6TB directory is already backed up elsewhere, so I will be ok if I just back up the remaining part a little bit selectively. There is also some other cheap storage around that I can pursue. I suspect part of Storage Box's pricing relies on lots of users not using their entire allocation, so 1TB…
