(Quote) Alpine is used for Docker containers a lot because it's small (or at least, can be made small). If you're low on resources, don't have a desktop. Command line is king.

(Quote) You might as well ask to compare vi and emacs; they're all functionally similar, but users of one will be passionate about how great their chosen one is and how terrible the others are, without being able to put their fingers on much concret…

Ubuntu and ... not a clue. Whatever it came with by default, I guess?
-
(Quote) If you don't know what you want to do with one, why do you want one?
-
(Quote) Because I wasn't exactly stretching the hardware limits, and it de-risked me from an ageing CPU / HDD crapping out on me. Even leaving aside the fact that a decent VPS offering probably isn't running on a creaky old Xeon, they are going to r…

It's nice not to worry about noisy neighbours, and a low end dedi can come in competitively priced against a similar sized VPS. Then again, the risk with a low end dedi is that you have a single point of failure in the form of a single (probably an…

(Quote) Yeah, yeah, I get it. Microsoft evil. I'm just saying, Github's distaste for IPv6 massively predates any involvement from Microsoft; it really has nothing to do with them.
-
I don't think it's fair to blame Microsoft for Github's insane resistance to IPv6 - they've been saying "oh yeah we're working on it" for literally decades.

NAT64 makes it fairly painless, but it bemuses me that providers will sell you an IPv6-only service without running any sort of NAT64/DNS64 gateway for stupid parts of the internet that refuse to enter the 21st century (yes, GitHub, I'm looking at y…

(Quote) I would predict that fully 90% of people who get their accounts terminated know damn well how they've broken the TOS but they delude themselves that if the shout their supposed innocence loudly enough Virmach will inexplicably believe them.

(Quote) If you're not looking for performance, why "preferably NVMe"?
-
(Quote) Only if they're dumb enough to have multiple accounts.

(Quote) We're all waiting to see what's in our mystery boxes...

(Quote) What IPv6 do they come with? The checkout page doesn't even mention it, outside of the "save 50p by skipping IPv4" tickbox.
-
(Quote) I would suggest your problem starts with the phrase "from a scalper".
-
(Quote) I don't claim; I said "if". I notice you're not denying it, though...
-
(Quote) Not per se, but if you've been breaking the rules with multiple accounts it might be tactically poor to keep drawing attention to yourselves...
-
(Quote) Because power/bandwidth tends to be pricier? I mean even with the Tokyo premium, they're still pretty decent offers that are almost enough to tempt me back onto the VirTrain (if only they had IPv6...)
-
(Quote) Maybe if 50% of Tokyo orders weren't fraud/abuse, the premium would be lower?

Can we have a "quit using ChatGPT to pad your post count" button? ;-)

HostVDS looks to come close, although I have no experience with them. Ahh my bad, missed the 1Gbps requirement. For a dollar a month, it's gonna be a hard search!
-
Do you really only give out single IPv6, rather than a /64? Or am I misreading that?

(Quote) Now I just have to work out why the hell I needed it... ;-)
