(Quote) Glad it's not just me. Nearly every drive I've had fail catastrophically has been one that was retired in full working order for an upgrade, then brought back into service for some other project after many months without power. Has made me v…

(Quote) More like 5 4 years. (Quote) But for those with an account it's been working well as very cheap cold storage, yes it's still slow, but fine for ad-hoc access. I've been using both rclone and hubicfuse to access it as a file system on Linux.…

For you guys that use Fail2Ban. I'm intrigued to know if you still see a lot of blocked brute force activity, and by 'a lot' I mean enough to warrant bothering with Fail2Ban. I used to use it years ago when 'bashing down the door' style probes woul…

(Quote) Yeah I have quite a few, not 226 but a lot, add whatever's going when I remember. Wish they had a local rating system so I could upvote those I actually want to play, or have even paid for, and filter out the filler. I've even purchased some…

(Quote) Thanks, ironically now available on Epic for free for the next 1 day =) Mind you I prefer Steam still...

Very kind of you, would take Vampyr if still available. Merry Christmas to you and everyone on LES !! edit by @Mason: key sent

(Quote) Makes you wonder about the services the connections are really intended for :o though most of the endpoint ports look a bit random. Edit: My guess would be they're de-configured IP's on the host node that you're now getting by default/fallb…

(Quote) It only takes a minor slip of the keyboard, in someone else's DNS config, to send people to your IP in error. (Quote) This seems by far the best first step, especially if you have no active services to confuse the data. On linux tcpdump is …

(Quote) Then Squid will use IPv6 to contact that website, not IPv4, problem solved. Removing IPv4 still seems a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but as @Advin suggests remove the IPv4 bit from the network config. If you're fearful the site might take …
-
(Quote) I think you might underestimate how much of the web does NOT support IPv6 for web traffic. Preferring IPv6 is the default option for Squid see: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/dns_v4_first/ so usually it's the opposite question. If Squ…

(Quote) Actually, any nationality resident in EU, OR, EU citizen resident anywhere in the world, so Irish in US is covered. At the end of the day they don't check. EURid may be a non-profit but they need to make money ;)
-
(Quote) Ah, I stand corrected, I also have one of the Crucial P2's which seemed to be the model most criticised, and yet it works fine for me, even doing large transfers, hence my scepticism about reported issues. BUT a bit of research turns up that…

(Quote) Sure, Grand Theft Auto 5 is about that size, and it's from 2013. Not really my thing, but Epic Games gave it away free earlier in the year, hence how I know. I'd assume modern games are bigger still.
-
(Quote) Don't forget the DRAM vs DRAM-less debate is way less important on NVMe. Nearly all modern DRAM-less NVMe implement HMB, they can call back over the PCI bus and use the hosts memory for the jobs that local DRAM would assist. Something not po…

(Quote) > 2021-10-12 11:07:16 ERROR: could not read Auth username/password/ok/string from management interface> Sounds more like a problem with the OVPN client, does it pop up the dialog box to ask for username/pass? Mine does on Windows but…
-
(Quote) Any specific node? Don't use it extensively myself, but grabbed one as a useful gadget to keep in the toolbox. A few randomly picked end nodes seems to connect OK from vanilla Windows OVPN client.
-
(Quote) With that in mind is there any update on reinstating the upstream IPv6 connectivity with Hurricane Electric / Google at the new datacentre?
-
(Quote) Yeah they were pretty robust boxes. Hope yours doesn't connect to the Internet these days though, they had quite a few exploits to keep on top of and patch IIRC.

A 'modified' fork of RedHat on a Cobalt RaQ 4 early 2000's. A steep learning curve coming from a Windows NT background as nearly everything off the beaten track then needed to be compiled from source without upsetting the core system and admin panel…

(Quote) Don't knock it too hard, they need revenue to cover the cost of the recovery, that and the hole in the finances from offering a year's free service for those affected.
-
(Quote) Hi, not asking for a roadmap, but do you have a wishful time-plan for the remaining OVZ6 nodes. Was minded to switch a couple of Ubuntu 16 instances to something supported, simply because 16.04 went EOL last month, but will hang fire if thi…
-
(Quote) Maybe, but in this case, until the expired signing cert trick was discovered, we were looking at disenfranchising handsets from just 2015/2016, and in less wealthy countries, mopping up older stock, probably those purchased later than that.
-
(Quote) A timely post, which seems to have morphed from a thumbs up for FZ to one for WinSCP. I tried both years ago and plumbed for FZ for features [at the time] and cross platform availability. A recent upgrade to FZ precipitated a weird login de…
-
(Quote) I even skipped the last, supposedly final, 50% offer as my service went completely down the pan, thinking I would abandon ship. Turned out to be a rogue server, switched to a new node and things have been superb since, for the cost, leaving…
-
(Quote) Do you mean 'not encrypted' as in no additional encryption, or 'not encrypted' as in not even a password on the key? A strong password is still reasonably secure for most threat models, other than keyloggers, but no password at all would be …

(Quote) Matter? it reduces the risk, helps for a good nights sleep. It's so simple to configure it should be a reflex action. ChallengeResponseAuthentication noPasswordAuthentication noPermitRootLogin noAllowGroups …

(Quote) I use a variant on this, enabling catchall on the domain, but throwing away anything without a period in the username. So [email protected] delivers but jill@ john@ info@ accounts@ sales@ don't. I can then give a unique e-mail to…

(Quote) I run a couple of HostHatch VPS's and renamed the offending account on first install (I needed another username on UID 1000). I move SSH to another port (PasswordAuthentication no) but happen to run SFTP on port 22 (ProFTPD with virtual use…
-
(Quote) Anyone know if there's a telltale or pattern to the commonly experienced crypto breach, or even the general nature. I have a couple of Hosthatch VPS's but the very first thing I did after gaining access was rename the debianuser account and …

(Quote) ... at a special BF rate I hope :)

(Quote) When you've collected a few year's worth of deals, the calendar plays a big part. Becomes like a game of chess deciding which to renew and which to risk for an upgrade :)

(Quote) Mmmm, how will the bot differentiate what is an order number, and what is an invoice? Some posters have just put a number (might be an invoice or order), others have used a variety of formats Order, Order Number, Order # etc.

(Quote) I must be going blind, or missing some sarcasm =) Anyway, FYI, ordered one and can confirm the service is configured with 1000GB on the meter.
