(Quote) Now with new AMD CPUs and Nvidia GPUs, youa re looking at 1200 SGD (about 660 pounds) for a good gaming rig, together with monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers. Just dont go for prebuilts if you can. That way you'll end up saving 100 to 200…

(Quote) Sigh... Sucks to be the guy who just bought 2080Ti at 1200 to play Flight Sim 2020 and now is looking at losing 900 (after selling it for 300) and buying a 500 dollar card. That is 1400 dollars down the Nvidia drain for a 500 dollar card.

(Quote) Ya, I'm working every Saturday for at least half day too... Sigh... When I was young and used to play games, my parents would tell me to stop and study. They said I can play games all I want when I grow up and start working... How wrong the…

(Quote) Try it on highest res on a 8K TV and let me know how it goes :tongue: (Quote) 1060 here. Will definitely upgrade to the 3070. (Quote) FYI, it is called 3090 and it has 24GB onboard: https://nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series…

(Quote) Well, to each their own. We prefer PCs because of versility and customizibility. Not to mention MODs! Lots and lots of mods. (Quote) If they did, most smart people wont buy consoles. You buy them, use them for 1 to 2 years, then buy new. In…

(Quote) Completely offtopic, but what are the minimum system requirements to host a node for personal use?

(Quote) Been using it since 2011. Community version. Thats about 9 years. Before that I used cPanel but got fedup paying $15 for features I never use. (Quote) You can just not install the "bloat" or remove it once you get it installed if …

(Quote) Ya, cause I'm using TOTP Authenticator app for android on my phone... My chinese phone that runs google's android... Nevermind. I guess google's authy will do fine. (Quote) Looks like google was the easiest to setup. Now I just have to ensu…

(Quote) £4.5/year? Very expensive! What do you offer for $0.01 per decade? :tongue: Jokes aside, great deal at low low prices! It is true that sometimes we only need 1 location but end up buying 3 as a pack. More hosts should offer a similar deal!

(Quote) Scratch that, this tutorial worked fine: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/configure-ssh-2fa Turns out, my ssh client was the issue on the windows machine. Putty is the way to go. On linux/mac, terminal (or terminal emulator) works fine with TOT…

(Quote) I agree with you there. If there is a targetted attack on my server, there is very little I can do, given my knowledge, except just turn it off for a few days and hope they go away. That being said, I doubt I'll be targetted for hacks given …

(Quote) I'll look into wireguard, but it looks complicated to setup. Fwknop, never heard of it. I'll see how far i can go with it. (Quote) > % cat .ssh/config > Host givetheserversomename> HostName insert-ip-or-dns-name-here> P…

(Quote) Except that my IP keeps changing (dynamic IP) so thats not a option unless I setup a VPN server specificly for this. But if the VPN server dies, all my servers die with it. So ya...

How about a simplified guideline or checklist to see if a host offering services is a scam-host? From what I see on LET, most people do not know the tell-tale signs of a scam host (including me apparently since I got scammed twice). Most of you he…

(Quote) I run a custom PHP script that connects to open ports on my regular servers and sends me a notification if the server failed to connect after 6 attempts. Pool the data from 3 or 4 of these servers distributed all over the world, and you hav…

Botnet! I usually use them as uptime trackers or private VPNs.

WTF! I can't believe it! We are in Q3 of 2020! Terahost? 2~4 letter name starting/ending with host? Have seen a few of them go belly tits up

Bought the lowest plan. Hope there isn't any weird capping on it.

As the spammers say, very informative post. Thank you. Sad to see a good host turn scammer...

Host doc went from recommended to scam. How long was I away for?

Wait, wasn't host doc supposed to be a good host? What happened?

(Quote) LOL, isn't that a given? Avast started showing up with ads and making pc slow. So wiped system and reinstalled OS.

(Quote) Similar, but different. First, get a cheap vps with fixed ip. Then forward ports using reverse SSH tunneling. Here is a guide I wrote: https://somik.org/persistent-reverse-tunnel-using-autossh/

Previously used avast. Then switched to panda. Now using a readonly version of porteus Linux with preconfigured pi hole based adblocker. Still using panda on Windows gaming machine, that gets powered on over the weekends...
