That cap is really important if you are power-bound in your datacenter. There's also thermal considerations that some datacenters can only cool so much per rack. I went in a very different direction with Slow Servers and picked very low TDP pr…

Having a master node that your slaves forward into is the easiest option, IMO. Just pass the /.well-known path via a proxy on your webserver. Only run certbot on your master.

Tierhive is impressively cheap -- I'm not sure what more of a "deal" you're looking for. In 9+ years in business with SporeStack, I've never offered a "deal." I completely understand why someone would want servers…

I'm coming from a completely different perspective on all of this. I've only worked with homegrown systems and OpenStack Nova. WHCMS is quite foreign to me, and I've never used VirtFusion, Virtualizor, or SolusVM. I wrote my own pro…

Very nice! There are some shortcuts with deselecting sets. You can do -x*, for instance, to remove anything x related. Now there are some limitations like this. You certainly lose some security aspects of multiple partitions and kernel relinking w…

There's a few factors for me. One is cost. I explicitly preference smaller companies. I also run OpenBSD whenever possible, and ease of running OpenBSD is a factor. I have three external name servers that also provide monitoring services. ARP…

Your website and offering looks a lot better than many I've seen. Nice work!

That is quite something! Thank you for posting. I haven't encountered that yet, but I'll be on the lookout for it. AI is bringing us closer and closer to the point of being suspicious about everything, and to trust nothing. It used to jus…

All of Slow Servers' hosts use DDR3. It's sufficient for many uses and certainly cheaper.

What exactly is a "Intel Special" (the $19/month one?)

I don't see Looking Glass for Port Edwards or San Angelo. I'm surprised that a half rack with 20A is $349 and a full rack with 20A is $699 in Port Edwards. Seems like a particularly good deal on that half rack!

(Quote) Hi Tom, Thank you! I like FreeBSD a lot. I took FreeBSD kernel internals from McKusick, himself! FreeBSD has some weird memory management issues with Firefox. It will tend to climb and and climb from one tab to another. It did that to me …

I went back and forth with this a lot with Slow Servers. I host on OpenBSD, so a lot of the decisions are based on that. OpenBSD doesn't support hotswap, at least on SATA. This certainly lowers the appeal of RAID 1. Also, RAID 1 with 4K secto…

My daily driver is OpenBSD. I was using FreeBSD for a number of years before that. I host VPSs under OpenBSD's VMM. Currently only offering OpenBSD 7.8 and Debian 13. I haven't tested FreeBSD or NetBSD yet to see how easy it would be to …

I am not sure why reverse proxy support isn't more common. I think it may be a combination of available technologies and timelines. SNI makes proxying a lot easier. IPv6 has been around for a long time but adoption was too slow for anyone to ju…
