(Quote) I never would trust a hard drive with more then 5 years of activity (run time). Then again, for my "mission critical" data, i usually have 3 copies with at least 1 fully offline backup. Paranoid? What's that? Can eat? :lol:

(Quote) Yep. SSDs are great for when you need to access a lot of small files at once. For larger files, SSD and HDDs are almost same. Since most applications are memory cached, storage doesn't matter for running most apps. So cheaper HDDs are bette…

(Quote) Given that @poppz is still alive, i doubt that's the case :lol:

I am hosting a raspbian repo mirror from HDD. Was planning to extend it to include debian as well since newer raspberry pi runs on debians but the debian mirrors in my area are good enough. Other then that, I use HDDs for storing the server backups …

50 different IPs? For what? Ad view counting? Fake account creation? DDOS?

(Quote) VPN + single use browser = security better then RDP. If you want more security, you can use a local VM that you have full access over to manage/manipulate the hardware of. Linux VMs are preferable as they allow more control over what info is…

(Quote) Many people uses RDP cause they don't know how to use linux (or terminal). You do not expect the entire population of the world to be comfortable using terminal to do things. So RDP has very legitimate uses. Many uses RDP as it is very simil…

No no, install monitoring scripts and let your idler vps monitor eachother

(Quote) Well, systemctl is good for paired services like samba where you can just do sudo systemctl restart smbd nmbd or for php/nginx combos where you need to restart both sudo systemctl restart php8.1-fpm nginx

(Quote) That's what I am talking about. How do we know that the keys being sold by them are obtained legally? That you are not getting a key that they stole from a company or educational institute?

(Quote) No no, i am not saying not to have your other joys. I am saying to ADD gaming to it! :lol: (Image)

(Quote) Well, what made me sad was the systemctl "fix"... Previously when we ran system apache restart we used to get a few lines of messages to show if it succeeded or failed and if failed, what happened. Now it's just empty response...

Just connect up all of your VPS with a VPN like Tailscale

(Quote) Hey, i got no excuse there! You literally used it correctly on the message I quoted and I still got it wrong :disappointed:

(Quote) Hey, i got nothing against that! As long as you are supporting the creators of what you like, you are doing more good then the people who are not buying it at all! Btw, i am guessing you are talking about games like "Cities Skyline II&…

(Quote) More like "pay a hundred dollars then than get hacked/backdoored and be made into part of their bot-net" :p

(Quote) Damn... you are missing out on one of the small joys in life! (Quote) Damn......... well..... not sure what to say to that.......

(Quote) No, you are right. If a seller buys volume licensing directly from microsoft and sells the "activation", it is considered legal. The issue is we do not know if the key they are selling for $5 is a volume licensed copy they obtaine…

(Quote) Exactly. Buying and selling OEM keys are also considered illegal and using a OEM key to activate your windows is not legal either. You are basically paying for warez in this case. OEM keys that you buy online are usually obtained illegally t…

(Quote) Yes, but how long is the person gonna be alive before he/she/they/it is dead?

(Quote) Yes, you are right there. Initial connection to validate the authenticity of the KMS server. After that, all windows/office activation happens without the knowledge of microsoft. So it is somewhat similar to those "modified" KMS th…

@Nekki @jqr @terrorgen Is it me or is only members with triangle (or butt-plug) shaped display pics are responding to this thread?

(Quote) The post was directed to windows PC users as most server users uses legit windows licenses. As for windows "looking" linux, I have tried it out for a while when windows came up with their windows 10 and automated updates before re…
