If you are just testing number of connections, start with ab.

How often I visit is definitely related to the signal to noise ratio, and if I start seeing threads with (e.g.) political titles then I'm out. There should be a way of masking/muting threads. Currently they are sorted by last post and that already…

Maybe remove your IP address?

Personally I'd do software. My concern with BIOS is that if your computer dies and you replace it with a newer/current model that has a different controller chip then will it still handle the array OK - probably, but maybe not. For commercial RAID…

(Quote) Set up rclone using rclone config, hit n for new remote, give it a name, then choose the type of backend. Once you've configured the backend, rclone is pretty simple. Not answering your question specifically, but with borg an incremental w…

(Quote) Interesting. Thanks for sharing the datapoint. From memory (it has been a while) my issue was with de-duplication of some quite large files, and it being very slow when doing a synthetic full backup.
-
(Quote) What sort of servers (i.e. RAM, disk)? I found Veeam to be heavy on the resources, but could be I have lower-end stuff.
-
(Quote) Borg is good. Very happy with it. Quite fast for large numbers of small files. For VMs, for a few years I've been using a rsync script, and then creating a hardlinked copy each day. This means linux takes care of all the incremental stuf…

(Quote) f2b chains don't exist, so clearly nothing is going to be blocked.
-
(Quote) We already have the POPs, they are not included in the calculation on either side of the ledger. However, it doesn't change the end result. We'll forget Anycast and go with GeoDNS. If another special Anycast offer comes along then we'll c…
-
What type of virtualization? Show iptables-save with your IPs redacted - possible that there's an ACCEPT before the f2b chain?
-
(Quote) All of that makes perfect sense. I'm doing the same type of cost-benefit on a much more lowend scale. For reference, this was my starting point: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/8981. To step through my thought process, if…

(Quote) Use fail2ban-regex to see what is being matched in the logs rather than blindly guessing.
-
(Quote) I'm sure that's great for a lot of people! Unfortunately, lack of Australia kills it for me, and $30/month is way over my budget. But for someone who needs mitigation it would be good.
-
(Quote) The list of countries allowed to sign up does not include US, Canada, or any in Europe, which must severely limit their customer base, although of course people can put in fake info. Maybe for some people it works - India, Russia, etc. Bes…
-
(Quote) Yeah, that is what I was starting to figure. Quite off-putting for me, to be honest. Not sure what I'm even allowed to send on that network due to export restrictions. But everyone can form their own opinion on that subject. (Quote) Thei…

(Quote) Got the following, which is strange for a company with contact info in Germany: (Quote) Language on signup page defaults to Farsi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvan. What the heck.
-
(Quote) Looks interesting. Worth giving it a try. They say they "currently offer" free DNS and the page looks like it is written with the expectation this might change in the future, so I don't count on it lasting forever. But a good on…

(Quote) I re-checked AWS billing and seems good. By pushing the Hetrix updates to CloudFront metrics, the Route 53 health checks are considered 'AWS endpoints' and thus free of charge. Amazon Route 53 Health-Check-AWS$0.00First 50 Health Checks of…
-
(Quote) Run multiple HAProxy. If you have the budget then use anycast and remove failed nodes. Otherwise return multiple IPs in DNS and update DNS using health checks. To answer the original question, also take a look at https://www.gslb.me/ whic…

(Quote) I'm looking for a phone company that provides free ice cream, and an electricity company that will give free shoes.
-
(Quote) Today I integrated Hetrix with Route 53. It wasn't too bad, and looks like I've managed to do it on the AWS "free forever" tier (not the "free 12 month trial"). But maybe I should give it a day for billing info to updat…
-
I run one in a DB cluster for less than a month. Limited experience to draw on, but so far no downtime, performance good.
-
(Quote) I put in an hour figuring out the Oracle DNS API and integrating Hetrix. Not fun, but better than I thought it would be. Price-wise it is thus a flat $4/M for "traffic director" (i.e. GeoDNS) queries. This might be a short-term …
-
(Quote) Thanks for the link! Good to see more providers with competitive offerings, and nice list of POPs. Probably I need sub-country for US (60% of my traffic is US and I have POPs in West/Central/East, so not necessarily state but at least reg…
-
(Quote) For on-demand video, may not even need geolocation. I guess my point was that when most people start out with web hosting they just put everything on one web server including large static downloads (software, video, etc.) and that could get…
-
(Quote) Yeah, "anycast DNS" refers to the property of the DNS server itself, where a single IP takes you to the nearest DNS server to improve latency. If I've got users in Australia then going to the wrong DNS can add 300 ms to the lookup…
-
Another option I forgot is Oracle. Their "cloud DNS" has no per-domain charge, $4/M for "traffic director" queries (so 0.7M = $2.80) and their 30 sec health checks are a comparatively reasonable $0.30/month. So 2.80 + 6x0.30 = …
-
(Quote) Thanks! I have sent you a message. Yearly payment would be fine for a lowend plan. How does it work with your system if one of my VPSes goes down - do you have any sort of public docs or setup guide?
-
(Quote) You do NOT need a traffic policy to get GeoDNS working with Route 53. Traffic policy is designed for more complex routing rules. Example: if you want GeoDNS that returns multiple values (rather than the nearest IP) then you start to need t…
-
(Quote) That is how anycast works. The issue is the granularity. I'm happy to be corrected if wrong, but the way BuyVM implements it is on a datacenter granularity. In other words, if the whole BuyVM location goes down, then anycast works as you …
-
(Quote) You might be right that nothing else is competitive! Good to ask though. Especially for the anycast-as-a-service option, I am not sure if I missed other providers. For anycast, if someone did a lowend annual plan (e.g. 200GB for the year)…

(Quote) For Constellix, GTD is their "global traffic director" which is a more advanced thing including RUM - not the same as GeoDNS. The basic pricing is $5 for a domain + $0.06 for each filter rule + $0.60/M geoproximity queries + any h…
-
(Quote) I don't/won't use Cloudflre. Anyway, NS1 billing is for an average of 0.7M per month, so the assessment is already done. This means I get charged overage by NS1 ($8/M), but NS1 is still quite OK price-wise. But the issue is not query volu…

(Quote) Get apk-tools-static, mount spare partiton (e.g. swap), run apk.static to install alpine-base onto it, reboot to partition, reformat old partition and repeat process. Never had it fail yet. although Joyent images can be challenging.
