(Quote) Ditto, but I always try and also leverage the mailto facility in cron, so you get to know if one of the wheels is coming loose, deprecation warnings in a package say, even if the job is superficially doing all you're testing for. Of course …

And I only recently received notification their Raspberry Pi server prices are to rise 50-60% in June, pleading unsustainable pricing.

Bhost in London circa 2013, now seem to be part of Mythic Beasts. I think the spec was OVZ/2C/256MB/10GB, it was teeny tiny and cost only £1.20pm, it was my first foray into VPS/Shared resources for my own personal use having managed bare metal prev…

Not really in the app category... but a *nix like shell with Posix utils, e.g. Git for Windows (bash) ~300MB or busybox-w32 (ash) 1MB, if like me you're more familiar/productive with that, hate Windows commands/scripts and have only dabbled with Pow…

(Quote) Beat me to it. :) Just a heads up for anyone who likes this kind of strategy game, that 'Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice', also on @Mason's list, is available free on Epic Games for a week from Thursday. (Edit: that's a zero priced purchase …

(Quote) Are ed25519 elliptic-curve SSH keys a technical requirement here, or just a preference to encourage good practice? Many people prefer to use smartcards for SSH access, which adds an extra physical dimension of security, but are often limite…

I suspect the majority will ditch theirs, I use it as an occasional testbed for new packages or setups and it's often horrendously slow. Have never really understood this offering, as a loss leader it gives a very negative view of their service, I'…

(Quote) OK, was thinking of AES support for VPN transfers which the later Avoton era had, though sounds not the case here.

(Quote) What vintage of Atom?

(Quote) Yes, already converted mine using this sideloading script on a Debian donor install. https://gist.github.com/trimsj/c1fefd650b5f49ceb8f3efc1b6a1404d

Very interesting concept, congratulations, gives me the chance to experiment with Alpine on varying spec. small memory OVZ VPS's without commitment. But I've noticed a minor glitch, if I provision 3x (96MB + 4GB) and 1x (128MB + 4GB), I think I sho…

(Quote) Fell into the same trap, enabling TUN before the initial provision doesn't seem to take effect (or gets reset). Re-enabling and rebooting after initial install then solves the problem.
-
(Quote) Not sure if I'm being dumb, but is this a separate login? The overview and actions panels for my new active service under clients.natvps.uk shows no information or options (apart from cancel), 'additional information' just shows: Panel:Micr…

Great service, have had a mouse for the last 3 years, no problems.

(Quote) Pi's bundled with accessories seem to sell well on ebay, suppose it depends how niche yours are.

Timing was weird on this offer, had all but given up hope as I'd applied on 1st Oct., then suddenly got the e-mail voucher last night, over 2 weeks later. Have had an active zone with CF for years so no idea why I was given the slow service treatmen…

(Quote) As in need to receive an SMS to proceed? I've never seen that on Paypal (albeit EU). Paypal EU use TOTP (App based) 2FA and I'm very happy to have that enabled.

(Quote) Mine's a slight twist on this, one on my house keys, that still needs to be plugged into the desktop to access most things, the backup stored securely in the basement. 2FA aside, this way I mostly always know where my house keys are having o…
-
(Quote) The methods are usually dictated by the service, but if offered, and as I always have a YubiKey plugged in here for SSH/SFTP access, FIDO/FIDO2 preferred (Google,GitHub,Shopify) followed by TOTP (everyone else). FIDO is just so much simpler,…
-
(Quote) It's usually environmental factors that kill HDDs, extreme temperatures, constant temperature fluctuation or vibration being the most obvious. In my limited experience, drives that are powered on, well cooled, and in constant use, fail more …
-
(Quote) I guess a good reason to avoid an upgrade. As a bit of an aside, does anyone know what extra features non legacy systems have over migrated ones (apart from smaller partitions :) ), and does booting from ISO in any way trigger the upgrade/sh…
-
(Quote) I don't see any specific addresses configured now in the new control under either of my subnets. I can assign a random address (under either /64) interactively on the interface and it just works, seems to be a fully routed /64. (Edit:) inclu…

(Quote) I had a bit of a fumble getting IPv6 working after the London migration. It didn't work straight off the bat, and going into the new CP saw IPv6 was disabled, so clicked enable hoping to get it working. That resulted in a different /64 than…
-
(Quote) Well I can see the general idea behind this, but as you suggest it's yet another example of the trade-off between freedom and security, a debate that goes way beyond web technology. WebAuthn hardens the traditional concept of 2FA, something…

Posting data relies only on curl, why does the script also install wget? Maybe test for and use whichever is currently installed as the posting tool.

(Quote) Glad it's not just me. Nearly every drive I've had fail catastrophically has been one that was retired in full working order for an upgrade, then brought back into service for some other project after many months without power. Has made me v…

(Quote) More like 5 4 years. (Quote) But for those with an account it's been working well as very cheap cold storage, yes it's still slow, but fine for ad-hoc access. I've been using both rclone and hubicfuse to access it as a file system on Linux.…

For you guys that use Fail2Ban. I'm intrigued to know if you still see a lot of blocked brute force activity, and by 'a lot' I mean enough to warrant bothering with Fail2Ban. I used to use it years ago when 'bashing down the door' style probes woul…
-
(Quote) Yeah I have quite a few, not 226 but a lot, add whatever's going when I remember. Wish they had a local rating system so I could upvote those I actually want to play, or have even paid for, and filter out the filler. I've even purchased some…

(Quote) Thanks, ironically now available on Epic for free for the next 1 day =) Mind you I prefer Steam still...
