Virmach had and maybe still has a thing where you get a free minimal shared plan if you have a paid vps with them. I have it and use it, it has some downtime and other flakiness but it basically works. I only use it for a few very low traffic pers…

Discord is maybe about to be acquired to Microsoft for $10 billion. I hope those currently using it can migrate away.

Dogex pro! I'm losing millions!! /s

Privatebin looks cool but doesn't appear to do what was requested, namely delete the message after one viewing. I may try to code something like what I described above (permanently connected clients sending null messages every few seconds) but when…

Oh I got confused about the pi zero. Oh well. If you have a cheap dedi (kimsufi?) that you're using for some other purpose, this would be a good use for it too. Or if you can use client software that makes things easier too.

Wait, this puts the decryption key into a newly generated url. How do you transmit the url to the person? By email? I guess if someone else intercepts and uses it, at least the intended recipient will get a link that doesn't work, and figure that…

I'm out of touch about what these site generators do, but I tend to use a combination of hand-hacked scripts and org-mode export with a little bit of templating in my emacs init. If you want markdown input you could use pandoc to convert it to html…

1) just the usual drama like cpanel/DA etc. If you're already using whm then sure, whatever is easiest, I just wouldn't want to get even more deeply locked into it. 2, 3) It is pretty easy to get started with both emacs and org-mode, and gradually…

1) I'd stay away from whmcs in general 2) I tend to want to use org mode for everything (org-mode.org) and it has features for that, but it helps to already be an emacs weenie if you want to use it. 3) there are a bunch of different free alternati…

Oh well I guess I missed this. 1tb slices would have been a completely different setup and 12tb on 1 drive was a bit too much for me, but I could have been interested in 4tb or 6tb or even 2x 6tb on separate drives for raid.

8 minute video of Oles speaking about the incident. I haven't watched it yet but he looks kind of stressed. Understandable of course. He does sound calm, at least in the first few seconds. https://www.ovh.com/fr/images/sbg/Octave-Klaba-speaking-…

I saw something in one of the French news articles linked further up that the firefighters had trouble at first because they couldn't shut off the electricity to the DC, fwiw.

Hope this isn't in SBG.

I have a kinsufi server in rbx if that can help anyone transfer backups from there. Also have one at BHS if that matters. Sympathy to everyone affected.

I'm glad everyone at the scene is ok and that all the users have good backups.

(Quote) Yes it happened to me. I don't mean to imply they did it without warning--they sent out notifications well ahead of time, but it was still pretty obnoxious to not just migrate the data automatically. The whole c14 concept was long term arc…

If this site actually produces enough revenue to sneeze at, I'd like to see it spent on developing hosting software such as a free billing panel. The site would then also become the de facto community support and bug tracking platform for the softw…

Congrats to both Ant and Clouvider!

Haven't had crashing per se. Had some weird compute errors that looked to me like bad memory, so I opened a ticket and their techs swapped out the dimms. They say they do that on suspicion of errors. I guess they put them on a memory tester after…

(Quote) The attraction is way more cpu speed (13 cores I guess), some of the time. Also it would include 2TB of SSD instead of 1TB. And I'd want DE location. I think you are right though, ax41 may suit me better. My i7-3770 was a great deal when…

Interesting, some specs here: * https://business.kioxia.com/content/dam/kioxia/shared/business/ssd/doc/dSSD-XD5-1-product-brief.pdf * https://eshop.comm2ig.dk/kioxia-ssd-datacent-ssd-3840gb-nvme-pcie/cat-p/c/p1000632056 Kioxia is the new name for …

Would around 35 euro for 1/4 of the base machine plus whatever for HDD space (would need other users wanting that too I guess) be reasonable? Are you still thinking of doing a separate storage server? I'm a little bit scared to commit to this just…
-
32 slices = you're supplying yet another small cheap KVM product. There's tons of that already. I'd be interested in something 1/4 of such a machine with a way of cpu-bursting to the whole machine, especially with added HDD. I don't need any ipv4…

Data center QLC is a thing though: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12423/micron-readies-3d-qlc-nand-based-datacenter-ssds-for-nearline-storage It does have good hosting applications, i.e. for serving lots of static files. Much faster access than H…
