(Quote) How can you pull bandwidth on Droplets? I've asked for that feature for years but wasn't aware of them adding it to their API. I agree, that data is helpful.
-
(Quote) Wow, 1 legitimate to 20 illegitimate? That is pretty bad. I guess it's not just me. How does your card accepting clientelle compare to those figures? I used to work at a large hosting company many years ago. This was pre-Bitcoin and w…

(Quote) I think that is a big part of it in the past couple of months, but there's still been seaonal trends over the past several years where I'd get almost no complaints, or I'd get a lot. So many major vulnerabilities being made p…

(Quote) I have wondered if the 250 masscan servers were more directed at SporeStack than a deliberate malicious act, but it's one of about two actions that I have felt were not just "genuine" malicious use, if that makes sense. It…

(Quote) Yes, VPS spun up on Vultr. I'm not controlling the hypervisor. (Quote) I've had seasons without any issues. Seems like people come and go, but I am pretty sure it's a number of independent actors. I caught them before the ti…

I missed it! Another time.

(Quote) I can't do that with reselling. There's a lot of advantages to hosting instead of reselling for this sort of thing.
-
(Quote) I would certainly feel more confident letting people on LES than completely random people, if there was demand for it. (Quote) Yes, in some places it is, but I don't want to make money on that. It's like a system. They scan with s…

(Quote) I have some rate limits in place, but I tied them to lifetime deposits as a "reputation." I think you are right that an association with age is wise as well. I was kind of going for that with lifetime deposits, but a $1,000 lifetim…

I would be cautious with the quality of some of the cheaper units, especially in larger sizes (may only be an issue with 32GB+). On some they advertize one size, but "roll over" as data is written with a flash chip half the size, or less. …

I had a customer who checked against one of my IPs for a while before he bought. He was also checking for jitter. Shortly after they signed up, the jitter got worse. I was able to improve some of it, but it won't get much better until I have fa…

That's a very well handled response to an extremely difficult situation.

What do you consider "affordable?"
-
Yikes. Quite the hack. Yet another reason to have signed packages. Pinned TLS fingerprints in DNS would be good to, but that isn't particularly common or well supported as far as I know. The public CA system is not great for many reasons.

Hi, I had seen your Reddit thread where you requested feedback. I wrote a comment with some questions I had, but never heard back. I'll paste that here: (Quote) It does seem like some things have been addressed. I now see OpenBSD listed as a…

I am not the biggest fan of Mailbox. Used it for a while. Would rather give Posteo a try, over Mailbox. Have been very happy with Mythic Beasts, though.
-
Looks like it might be pretty cool. Probably worth a try. The other one that I think is interesting is Neocities: https://neocities.org/
-
(Quote) Very nice! I honestly did not know that they did any injection at all. That is pretty scary. I thought for a while they were trying to move in a zero trust direction with the TLS handshake on the backend side, but it seems they're goin…

Dallas is a great location if you want one central point to cover the US well. Chicago is also good, maybe even a little better. Now your users may not notice at all, depending on what you're hosting. It does depend on how much it matters, but…

(Quote) How can you promise 100% Privacy, no logs, no tracking, when your website pulls in "cloudflareinsights.com?"
-
"100% Privacy • No Logs • No Tracking" -- then what is "cloudflareinsights.com" for?
-
I have slowservers.net running on a 768MB plan without a IPv4 address. This ends up being $3/month, or rather $36/year if a customer wanted the same thing. OpenBSD 7.9 gmid for Gemini httpd for static web Users can SSH in and use a Perl script for …

I'm sorry to hear about your health. I hope that the news is positive! At this point in my life, family keeps running into more and more health issues. I miss my younger years when I felt invincible, and no one had any health concerns... I am…

(Quote) I haven't compared it to modern setups with very large hosts. However, a major thing that helps is using 35W TDP 6 core processors. There's definitely a large element of performance to energy tradeoff. It's possible that some …

This sounds a little bit fishy to me...
-
(Quote) Unfortunately, I haven't set things up for that. I don't even have BGP sessions running yet, though I do plan to.
-
From GTHost: 1 x E5-2650v2 128GB DDR3 2x800GB SSD 300Mbit/s Unmetered Montreal (CA) 64 USD Just a hair more expensive.
-
(Quote) Are you asking if you can bring your own IP space with BGP, or if I use BGP? (Quote) Almost! A customer offered an ounce of silver, but didn't see my email back in time. Ended up already using the ounce. Sent me cash instead.
-
(Quote) Thank you so much! I appreciate it! (Quote) Thank you! My daily driver has 4x the memory, but some provider websites are painful to load. The ones with animated backgrounds slow things to a crawl. The HTTPS site is proxied from Gemini. I&#…
-
(Quote) Oh yeah, it definitely goes down. I think though that if you need a more reliable service, you should pay for it. Lots of good paid email hosts, like Mythic Beasts, Posteo, or FastMail.

I think this one supports direct SMTP/IMAP. In fact, their web client uses SMTP/IMAP over websockets. https://cock.li/

This is YABS from a "slowservers-2gb" (2GB memory, 1 vCPU, 64GB disk, routed /64, 1x IPv4) VPS running Debian 13 on Loki. Located in the Levy Building in Spokane, Washington (USA.) Hypervisor is OpenBSD's VMM. Hardware is used and des…

(Quote) Yikes! Thank you for sharing. Some very sketchy stuff.
-
Looks good and well priced to me! (Quote) I don't want to derail this thread, but is there somewhere I can look to learn more about LET/LEB shadiness? I don't know of any issues, personally.
-
How bad is your downtime currently? How much downtime is acceptable? Do you know why it's going down? Shared hosting isn't necessary unreliable, but it can be. Is this a static site? Dynamic but readonly, or dynamic and writable?
-
I think it really defeats a lot of the purpose of crypto to use a major KYC payment provider like Paypal. Better to use your own nodes and have a gateway that you control. I know that's a lot more work, but Bitpay and the like has been a thorn…
-
Wow! This sounds like a huge pain. I wonder how they track state of which page to go to next? I think there would have to be a mesh or some kind of centralized system to know what to crawl. Would be interesting to see how that operates. These must…

Have you noticed any user agents in common or IP ranges in common?

Through SporeStack / SporeStack EU I have IPv6 only (/128) available. 2 vCPUs if you get the 4GB of memory plan. Mail ports might be blocked there, but I think I can unblock them. Through Slow Servers I have routed /64 VPSs (also IPv6-only). Only o…
