(Quote) If the URL shortener could have a separate (sub)domain, you can achieve that with GitHub Actions. https://dev.to/tusharsadhwani/how-i-made-my-own-url-shortener-for-free-293p It's semi self-hosted because you control the git repository and c…

(Quote) I kept wishing for Singapore because it’s supposedly faster to China, but this is good numbers despite it’s in Los Angeles. Is this speed test over TLS, or is it UDP?

I process all the pictures with: convert input.* -geometry 600x600 -quality 70 image.jpg PageSpeed Insights want me to use WebP, but why bother? 2 seconds of load time on a photo won't make a difference.

(Quote) Please put it back after Black Friday. My plan was, in case I miss the 70% off (how about YOURSUNNY70 just for me?) on Black Friday, I’m going to use EDU50. I’m University of Arizona alumni and have real EDU inbox. (Quote) Don’t they have H…

I’m patiently waiting for 70% off on Black Friday.

I deployed Chocolatey last year. It simplified software updates significantly. No more clicking through multiple pages of the installer, or reading the never ending license agreement. I wish ALL software can be installed via Chocolatey, including th…

(Quote) My father uses China Mobile broadband, not China Telecom. I hear China providers charge “exorbitant fees” to nearby countries (Japan, South Korea, etc), but not North America. Thus, a website in Los Angeles is faster than a website in Tokyo.

(Quote) $12 is too much. I have: VirMach $4 per year KVM 384MB with IPv4. Gullo $1 per year VZ7 128MB no IPv4. I wonder how much the provider is losing for these boxes. IPv4 costs more than $4 per year.

(Quote) I didn’t buy this box for hosting website serving China. It was for s̶o̶f̶t̶w̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶d̶e̶v̶e̶l̶o̶p̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ idling. But I did a download test when my father gave me remote access to his laptop … So far, China routing works well only in Sin…

My first VPS was PhotonVPS. It’s one of the big providers back in 2011. I didn’t know I could get VPS for $7 at that time. Linode was the biggest at that time. Right now, I have accounts in Google Cloud and Scaleway. I only use a paid product for a…

I have a VZ7 box from this provider. The network is OK for US visitors, but very slow from China. CPU is throttled at 900MHz. Not a bad service for this price level, but not premium.

(Quote) I often wonder how could VirMach offer $4/year with IPv4 address.

(Quote) So the lesson is that we should email ourselves the partition table, so that we can recover data even if some files are not yet in the backup.

(Quote) This is not OK. Change to “leader/follower” or “primary/secondary”.

For me the only reason to use Scaleway is to compile stuff for ARMv7 architecture (BeagleBone Black) on their C1 instances. Now I use Docker balenalib images for this purpose, so I don’t use Scaleway anymore.

My email client used to be telnet on Windows 98. I learned the essential POP3 and SMTP commands. I tell people to write to me in plain text only, so that I don’t need to decode those equal signs. Nowadays I have Gmail.

I stay away 2FA so that I don't have to carry a specific device. If some service must have 2FA, I use the Google Voice number, and setup an Asterisk server to automatically answer the call and press the button on the keypad.

(Quote) 3 workstations + 2 phones = 5 entries in authorized_keys 6 servers + 5 online services = 11 places to edit every time I get a new device OR * primary key for all my workstation and phones, saved in Dropbox, not uploaded to VPS * 1 entry in…

I have limited trust on VPS. For OpenVZ, the “serial console” can enter the container without any password. Nothing prevents the provider from doing the same. While I have my website and Nextcloud there, I keep off the really sensitive stuff. The …

Now let's hope SmartHost LLC doesn't deadpool. My main website is hosted there since the deadpool of WootHosting.

(Quote) It's still an open question regarding the business model of NDN. Suppose customer C is watching movie from provider P via transit networks A and B. First, bandwidth fees should be paid in C -> A -> B -> P direction, where bandwidth…
