(Quote) Thanks for the tokyo's updates

(Quote) Agree with somik on OneProvider—they are a massive proxy reseller, and it's always a gamble whether the CPU match the invoice or the drive isn't already crying with 80k power-on hours. If you want something consistent around $25, Nocix / Wh…

This is wild. Atlassian firing the literal architect of their core infrastructure while pulling in $1.79B tells you everything you need to know about modern corporate logic. On the bright side, that stack breakdown is an absolute masterclass. Using…

Welcome to LES! Always good to see new European providers stepping into the community, especially with a focus on enterprise stability rather than just chasing the gaming crowd.
-
The 'Name and Shame' policy is long overdue. If someone is bold enough to get an entire node suspended, they should be bold enough to have their details posted on LET. It's a shame it came to this, but protecting the reputation of the project and t…

In 2026, I didn't expect 'Government ID' to be the minimum system requirement for gaming. 😂 At this rate, buying a digital game will require more paperwork than buying a car. If the OS itself starts requiring age verification as somik fears, we'll …

Since we are on LES, why not self-host? If you have an idle storage VPS with decent uptime, running MinIO or SeaweedFS is a great way to have your own S3-compatible layer without the monthly subscription headache. For managed options outside the 'B…

Ten years ago they called it paranoia; in 2026, we call it basic operational security. The move away from German/EU infrastructure is looking more like a necessity than a choice now. When 'tax authorities' and 'intelligence agencies' can bypass war…

Looks like my Tokyo node decided to take the 'YOLO mode' a bit too literally today! 😂 It's currently unreachable. Since all help requests belong in this thread, I'm reporting it here. No rush, just wanted to flag it for the admins when you have a m…

I hear you on the WP bloat. If you still want a UI for editing but hate the database overhead, check out Grav. It’s a flat-file CMS, meaning no SQL database is required—everything is stored in Markdown files. If you don't mind a slightly heavier se…
-
Softmaker is okay, but as an OG, I’d suggest giving OnlyOffice a shot before committing. Its engine is built specifically for OOXML compatibility, so formatting retention is miles ahead of LibreOffice or Softmaker. Plus, since we are all server ner…

(Quote) Moving to a flexible resource pool is a fantastic evolution for FreeVPS. It brings that 'Private Cloud' flexibility to the community, which is much more useful than static slices for those of us running multiple micro-services. 6 vCores and…

(Quote) A built-in breathalyzer for sudo would actually save 90% of late-night rm -rf disasters. Maybe California is onto something here. 😂
-
Good luck to the California government trying to enforce a KYC check on a headless Debian instance deployed via an API script. Politicians legislating technology is always an absolute comedy show. I can't wait for the new Linux kernel patch that re…
-
The contingency plan is an absolutely brilliant idea. Evaluating risks and worst-case scenarios is literally what I do all day for a living, and it's shockingly rare to see a host actually document what happens if their upstream provider pulls the p…

Hello LES/FreeVPS team! Massive respect for keeping this amazing community project alive. I'm going with Option 2. I have just made a donation of €5.25 (which is over the $5 USD minimum) to the Horn of Africa Crisis project. I've attached the scree…
-
Voted for no redundancy (pay a little less). Rule number one of the LE world: RAID is not a backup. I've seen too many budget providers lose entire RAID arrays due to controller failures or user error. I'd much rather buy two cheap, non-redundant …
-
If MS Office compatibility is your main goal, you should really look into OnlyOffice before settling on Softmaker. Its entire core engine is built around OOXML (docx/xlsx), so the formatting retention is miles ahead of LibreOffice. The desktop edit…
-
Well, this perfectly aligns with the NVMe/HDD discussion you posted the other day. The golden era of dirt-cheap, overpowered hardware is officially ending. Like I said before, it's time to dust off those optimization skills. The hosts that survive …
-
If you are only using it for contacts and calendar sync (CardDAV/CalDAV), Nextcloud is a massive overkill. It's like buying a school bus just to commute to work alone. You might want to look into Baïkal or Radicale. They are incredibly lightweight,…
-
Voted Yes. Keeping the $7 section untouched preserves the original spirit of LES, which is crucial. But adding the $15 tier is a much-needed reality check for 2026. Hardware isn't getting any cheaper. Giving hosts a dedicated place to post sustain…
-
Whichever one is responsible for buying up all the global NVMe stock and ruining the LE market for the rest of us. 😂 Jokes aside, mostly ChatGPT. It basically acts as my junior sysadmin intern. I ask it to write obscure iptables rules or Docker con…
-
The AI market eating up the global NAND/NVMe supply is a harsh reality. To answer your question: I'd take the NVMe-cached HDD route in a heartbeat. The whole spirit of the 'LE' world is price first, specs second. If I have to pay double or triple j…

(Quote) 28 servers? You're basically running your own ISP at this point! The struggle of "good deals" is real.
-
(Quote) Those 10th gen Intel chips are beasts for transcoding thanks to QuickSync. Eating Xeons for breakfast is no exaggeration! 15W idle is the dream.
-
(Quote) Wow, that gives me hope. Good things come to those who wait, right? Thanks again for the heads-up!
-
(Quote) Bummer, I was hoping to grab one right now! Guess I'll have to play the waiting game until BF. Appreciate the info!
-
(Quote) $100/year for a dedicated server sounds like a steal! Mind sharing the provider? I'm looking for some affordable storage options myself. (Quote) Yeah, running searxng on a datacenter IP is tough these days with all the Cloudflare captchas. …
-
(Quote) Exactly. I'm not a hoarder; I'm a 'Stability Philanthropist'. I pay the provider so the CPU graphs stay flat and my neighbors get full performance. You're welcome! 🤝 (Quote) WireGuard mesh is probably the single best justification for this …

Singapore please! Better latency for Asian users is always welcome.

(Quote) 15 is just the number I admit to my wife. 😉 Regarding NATs vs IPv4 yearlies: It's mostly for the sport. Squeezing a functional service into a 128MB NAT container is a different kind of fun compared to just throwing money at a proper IPv4 sli…
