This is great research material for my whitelist. Do write your experiences here so that I can make an informed decision on adding more reliable hosts to my whitelist.
-
@uptime thanks for the list! It certainly helped me remember some obvious candidates that I missed whitelisting, namely: AnyNode Hostens Ikoula OVH Scaleway SSDBlaze SSDNodes SecureDragon SoYouStart TerraHost TNAHosting TurnkeyInternet Virtono If …

(Quote) If you commit to buy enough boxes, it will happen.

(Quote) I see some mixed reactions about Contabo, but a lot of it was in the past. I haven't seen many recent Contabo experiences. Could you point me to some?
-
(Quote) Naise!

In light of the latest mass LEB deadpooling, I thought of improving the whitelist on LEBRE through the community's collective wisdom. If anyone has hosts worthy of whitelisting that I am not aware of, drop a reply. If you would like to second a…

(Quote) This is why 500MB to 1GB files are usually better because the effect is greatly diluted after a while. If I have time I will modify an existing script to use 1GB files instead (with a warning on high bandwidth use)
-
(Quote) I prefer iperf but problem is there are few public hosts in APAC. I may run my own APAC iperfs using my bundle from @mikho (never done it before but should not be too difficult I guess) but no way I can make those public servers.
-
(Quote) Ok, I see where you are going. Not sure if he deliberately intended to lay the blame on someone else or he just panicked, but both sides could have handled this much better for sure.
-
Thanks everyone for the input, especially @uptime. I thought there was no curl timeout issue, but when I investigated more, it seems like timeout was indeed an issue for certain locations. I modified the timeout parameter and now the speeds are simi…

(Quote) That money buys you only one beer here.

(Quote) I am not sure what you mean. Not very PR-ish for sure but certainly trying to minimise damage in a responsible manner.
-
(Quote) Yes and no. Many of the tests use big providers like Linode and Softlayer, which is ok. Results are fairly consistent. I am contemplating changing to 1GB download tests instead of the 100MB most scripts use (or to iperf) because often it see…
-
I hope it will be a professional discussion. At least here, if not on the other site. Can't see any fault with how @HostDoc is handling this for the moment.
-
(Quote) Thanks @somik! Good to learn from your experience so that I don't walk down a known rough path. I guess I will just have a dual boot configuration for using applications that require the GPU in Windows. Everything else I will just roll …
-
(Quote) That's why for my own benchmarking purposes, I might set up a private iperf on my mikho SG box. Can't make it public.
-
(Quote) YABS uses iperf but the problem is there are few Asian public iperf servers. The one in YABS often doesn't work.
-
(Quote) I actually have lots of data points, not just a single bench. This is why I became curious and started to dig. It seems like scripts tend to be under-reporting for reasons that I don't know why, even when everything else is pretty much …
-
(Quote) Nope I didn't use the same flags but they should not affect because there is no timeout (--max-time accounted for) and -s simply silences curl, but I did use -o because I had to output the file to disk. I cannot see how they can reasona…
-
Many of the big cloud players will be AMD soon. Not being able to hyperthread on Intel processors hurt profitability like crazy for them. They probably consider the change a capital investment for the next 5 years.

Welcome @Delong!

(Quote) I know.. there is no easy way to passthrough. Here's one guide that apparently works: https://mathiashueber.com/windows-virtual-machine-gpu-passthrough-ubuntu/
-
(Quote) Haven't tried it yet. I am just going with a full single boot Linux install but I intend to stick a spare SSD this month into the system and see how it goes. From my research, everything can be passed through into any virtual machine on…

(Quote) Even if it works now, the question is for how long. The GFW army is huge and they are on cyberpatrols every day.
-
(Quote) I don't need to look elsewhere now that I have Windscribe, but they are blocked in China and I don't think they care too much about fighting the GFW unfortunately.
-
(Quote) According to Google, it is not as important now.
-
(Quote) It seems to be an open, on-going offer that has no expiry. They review case by case.

If a VPS does not spark joy, cancel it!

(Quote) I haven't been to Vegas. The most sinful place I have been to in the USA is Orlando.

(Quote) Sorry about think you are in China. The currency is spiraling downwards too. :) Ok, now that I know your location, to keep everything that you have going at a really decent cost, I am going to suggest that you go with @HostDoc in either Kan…

I am not sure how well Ivacy works in China. Might be better to roll your own.

(Quote) I got my from stacksocial and it said lifetime defined as 10 + 10 upon request. Considering my age, it's pretty much my lifetime.

(Quote) @cociu ahem..

Didn't get because haven't figured out how to tunnel through HE to access the box. I do have some NATs with @mikho that has IPv6 so I should try and figure it out.
-
@Ouji You clearly have an addiction, like we all do at some point. :) I think you should just work out what are the CPU, RAM and storage requirements and consolidate on a well-managed VPS offering optimum performance nearest to you (you are in Chin…

(Quote) That's... quite underwhelming for 4 core. Guess I will stay away from Virmach. I will probably be remorseful despite the price.
-
(Quote) Yes. I had boxes that ran ok with providers that are massively popular during this period, and they are now stuttering with the influx.
-
(Quote) That clock speed and Nvme speed combined easily manages even busy medium sized database-driven sites without breaking a sweat. I am hugging my box so tightly that you won't pry it from my fingers until I am dead.

(Quote) A buyer's remorse for sale to make up for someone's Black Friday slow finger remorse.

I had a little hiccup with building a PC for research purposes using second hand parts, with the motherboard dying on me on Black Friday. Faced with the choice of getting another secondhand motherboard or changing both motherboard and CPU to a brand…
