If the UK has recycling, you might get lucky to find a private recycling center corrupt enough to let you dig through their bins. They probably have a pallet full of USB sticks.

(Quote) The internet was already splintered - for profit. This forum and other parts of the small internet are remains of the dead online world we all used to share. You all remember it. We used to live on these forums, these infinite diverse and qu…

This is great, we should have had this 20 years ago before 100GB+ games and 4K movies became the norm. This hits directly at the endless-growth-for-no-reason of media companies and gaming studios. This directly ties into the endless upgrade cycle of…

(Quote) Thank you, this is a load-bearing piece of this feature. Harsh is right, old trolls should not retain their privileges if this is to be anything except a social filter on newcomers.

(Quote) I'll repeat this question. What problem is it spending $14.95 million to solve? That linux distros generally work reliably and efficiently?

(Quote) Great, I'd make a separate button on the blog page, or maybe add a hover tooltip or some obvious indication. I was about to come complain that it's impossible to dismiss the notification blip. Edit: Also no offense, but wanting to…

(Quote) Is Väinämöinen your AI agent that you use instead of customer support? Just, for no reason - How much of your infrastructure is vibecoded vs coded by hand? Say a rough percentage?

Maybe https://tierhive.com/, unless you're in one of the banned countries. Maybe @AnthonySmith can make an exception if you ask nicely in PM. They charge by the hour, and give you some free money to start with. You can turn the VPS off when you…

(Quote) When clicking through to order, the prices are in EUR not USD (1 EUR = 1.18 USD), and without tax (25%). So the real prices are actually around 50% higher than advertised: LES1: 1 CPU / 1GB RAM / 25GB NVMe $4.28 LES2: 1 CPU / 2GB RAM / 50GB…

To follow up these cynical people who can't believe anyone does anything just for the benefit of the community; Thank you @msatt and @Not_Oles for doing this work for the benefit of the community. As a FOSSVPS user I can vouch that they are r…

(Quote) Tierhive doesn't support IPv6. So until they do - what to use?
-
(Quote) Wow, that's just amazing. Like you say an obvious feature (to someone who knows what they're doing...) - but still a gamechanger in usability and featureset. Getting up there, punching two orders of magnitude above your pricepoint.…

Thanks everyone. Now I can play with Pangolin.net :). I ended up going with Hetzner, even though the advertised €3.49 turned into €4.36 at checkout.... The cheapest I found was actually Scaleway STARDUST1-S at €0.1/month charged HOURLY at €0.00015…

Re: the original encryption question: adding additional layers of local encryption may make your system different enough from the rest, that an attacker won't bother to get your data. But it's a weak insurance. The only foolproof way to s…

(Quote) If it's available in fine increments like other resources with no minimum or minimum of say 100GB, then yes absolutely. Edit: Actually what I want is just more than 100GB in fine increments. Network or local doesn't really matter …

(Quote) Oh yeah you're right - I forgot we were talking about VPS's only here. Then yeah, it's much more practical to just dump disk + RAM as standard practice since the process can be completely automated.
-
(Quote) Sure but - is it done routinely, to every seized server? If not - how would the tech know the disk is encrypted before powering off the server? I would argue that encrypting your server is extra valuable if you're small fish, and you&#…

(Quote) Who are your opponents? Some hypothetical James Bond Hackerman, or some real state organization with budgets, bureaucracy and burnout to contend with? The benefit is that: 1) It is much, MUCH more difficult and expensive to extract data fro…

(Quote) 100%. Personal VPS's and small orgs are small fish that nobody cares about. And the regulations will not hit the hosting providers, they will hit the orgs themselves that are then required to comply (install backdoors) with their own …

(Quote) No idea, but I guess open marketplaces like Craigslist or Facebook marketplace maybe. Maybe look around mac forums if they have a buy/sell subforum.

Just after christmas is the best time to pick up a secondhand macbook :) Everyone's dumping their old model.

The problem with cloudflare isn't that it's less reliable, it's that it's a private for-profit business based in the US whose business model is to privatize the entire internet and centralize all traffic onto their networks DNS …

(Quote) The ssh agent forwarding option is -A. So the commands would look like this: user@laptop:~$ ssh -A server-1user@server-1:~$ scp my-files/ server-2: Only do this if you trust server-1. It essentially shares access to all ssh keys on your l…

(Quote) This smells like mismatched ansible version to me. Ubuntu repos especially are very behind - maybe try finding a PPA to install ansible from. Or maybe install it from pip. (Quote) Not unless you want to share the git repo with other people …

Outside ansible, another option is to use a terminal multiplexer like Terminator to type commands in many windows at once If you do go with ansible, I'd propose the way we do it at work: * Store ansible playbook in git repository * git commit…

Thx for the review! I'm very curious how the durability of the x280 is. I tend to bang my computers around and kill them quite fast, and I'm scared that the thinkpads have been profit-maximized to be fragile.

(Quote) Huh yeah you're right, the second maintainer Kristoffer Dalby gets paid by Tailscale to maintain Headscale: https://archive.fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/goheadscale/. That really makes me trust it less :(. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish…

(Quote) Headscale is a free and open source implementation of the tailscale server (the software), which is closed source. Headscale is unaffiliated with Tailscale (the company) and is written from scratch afaik. The tailscale client is commercial …

Ansible. It's a sysadmin framework that abstracts away a lot of the OS specifics, but still lets you write simple code that can either just run pure bash, or do simple/advanced sysadmin things like user management, configure services etc. You…
