Well you'd put the laptop disk into an SFF PC like a NUC or whatever the current version is called. Rpi 4's are impossible to find these days, and don't meet the cpu requirement which I assume is for transcoding.
-
I wonder if you can do a small colo somewhere. 4tb is a laptop disk these days.
-
Well I didn't mean circumvent, I meant something more like "ask nicely", but yeah an independent smaller provider would be great. Scaleway is pretty big. There are a few others whose names I don't remember. It feels like this stuff has …

If you've been out of Hetzner for a while, I wonder if it is possible to apply for reinstatement. Storage Box is hard to beat, and if you can connect it to a non-Hetzner VPS, that might help stay out of trouble with Hetzner.
-
(Quote) If this is for backups maybe you could use a slice plus scaleway glacier storage. If it's for media and you're really adding 1-2TB/mo then you probably have to up your requirements.
-
Go a little bigger? Scaleway EM-L101X-SATA, 1x Intel Xeon E5 1410 v2, 96 GB ECC ram, 2 x 6 TB HDD, 1 Gbit/s, €39.99/month. https://www.scaleway.com/en/elastic-metal/lithium/

Finland is kind of useless because there is already Hetzner Cloud there. It's maybe of more interest if it is not in the Hetzner DC. Norway has been useful to me in the past. Idk if it is still available from anyone. Other than that, idk. For…

(Quote) Well, data recovery is one of the more frequent whining points, so decreasing the friction might get rid of some of that. Even if it's not completely automated, you could have a simple shell script that bundles up the files from a suspended…
-
I don't have in me to read all these past few 100s of messages but one thing that might help is on suspension, to automatically create a tarball of the user data on an ftp/scp server or similar, so the user can get the data without a bunch of manual…

I've had a few .us and not gotten significant spam as far as I could tell. I do get normal phone spam but it doesn't seem related to web design or domains.
-
(Quote) I don't know what GB5 benchmark is, but they have some fairly modern 1 socket servers that are probably as fast as older dual socket ones, so I thought maybe that could work for you. I was more doubtful about BYOIP. Idk if they support tha…
-
I have a .nu at nameisp.com and haven't gotten any such request.
-
It looks like you can fit that out at Hetzner pretty easily: https://www.hetzner.com/sb?ram_from=256 and add storage.
-
(Quote) I don't see it as exotic. There's lots of tech stuff in the bay area, so if I want to run a low latency service for that region, SJC is the best place for it. Linode, Vultr, Digital Ocean, and maybe others all have services around there be…
-
(Quote) There has to be a lot of users in the bay area! If SJC goes away, LAX would be my next choice, but SJC is a nice location if the issues can be straightened out.
-
In principle, it shouldn't be possible to crash a whole VM just because some application runs out of memory. I wonder what is going on.
-
(Quote) Meh, another layer of proxies, accounts, etc.? Idk. Maybe it is workable. I'm just trying to run a personal znc, not an ircd. It didn't occur to me that irc had the idea of problem networks. Anyway it's only one address giving me troub…
-
Meh, I notice one of my San Jose IP's is banned from an irc network that I use. The other one works, which is good enough for me for now. Haven't tried the NY one. These IP's generally don't seem like the cleanest, oh well.
-
(Quote) I think the big providers qualify new hardware configs for months before opening them up to non-beta users. 14 day burn in is for new installs of hw configs that have already been qualified. It sounds like the hw issues in this thread came…
-
Hmm, I hadn't thought of the DNS. I figured they were intercepting the TCP stream since they do resolve to the right address for ports other than 80 and 443. Or anyway, ssh and ping go to the right place. I haven't tried putting an httpd on anoth…
-
(Quote) It redirects port 80 to a safebrowse.io page that says warning, high risk content. Trying to visit anyway loops to the same page. 443 fails SSL handshake because of comcast messing with the connection somehow. Other ports like ssh work fi…
-
Followup to above: I spoke too soon, Comcast blocks the new Buffalo IP too. It's annoying. It is one of the old 384MB specials and I have a small personal website on it. I guess I can try to migrate it to another location? I'm not sure if that i…
-
In positive news, I see that the new IP address for my Buffalo (NYC?) vps seems to not be blacklisted by Comcast. I hope it keeps working. Also re: (Quote) I should add that it's ok (and expected) if the 2 year renewal cost goes to $40. I can't …
-
I have VPS on SJC2005 (down) and SJC2008 (older servier, working again after being down for months, but idling and expiring soon since I don't need two VPS at that location). I'd rather not get migrated to LAX if there is some hope of SJC2008 becom…
-
Is this Comcast? They intercept ports 80 and 443 of my Buffalo VPS but I can still ssh. Apparently that server's IP range is in some kind of scam of phishing blacklist.
-
420 ;). Meanwhile I got IP change notice for NYCB022. Is that still Buffalo these days? I didn't get any notices for SJC.
-
(Quote) If you have an ASN, getting your own v6 space should be pretty easy still. It is v4 that is difficult. (Quote) This doesn't sound worthwhile. v6-only is almost as good, in the event that the VPS's dedicated v4 address goes away. Whatever…
-
(Quote) For dedicated servers too? Yikes. Can someone tell me what MJJ is? Malaysian Jiu-Jitsu? I only know about the Brazilian kind. If I understand the Tokyo stowaway thing, it sounds crazy that they haven't been booted, but it is also a seri…
-
How does an IP address get stolen from a VPS, except through someone getting to the control panel somehow?
-
(Quote) Same thing as before, can't seem to reboot from panel. Should I assume the disk is trashed, and reinstall the OS? It's a slight nuisance if the old data is lost, but I can deal with it. Aha, I was able to connect with VNC, which didn't wo…
-
Ah ok, I will check again in a few days I guess. Thanks.
-
Looks like SJC2008 is reachable from billing panel again, which is great, it had been unreachable before. Is this node still having network issues? Billing and control panels say my VPS is offline, attempting reboot doesn't change it, it's unreach…
-
This being LES, I expect that for most of us, low cost dominates everything else.
-
(Quote) I think people mostly want raw capacity. More drives = more rack space, more power consumption, more separate bits of hardware to fail, etc. Better to use large drives, but enough for raid 6. Whenever the Hetzner SX line is refreshed they…
-
I was thinking more like 4x or maybe 6x, enough for raid-6 to not burn too much of the space. Although, borg backup to one or your storage vps might be an alternative.
-
This is nice, a version with more drives would also be interesting.
-
I'm now getting ticket updates saying the invoices were bogus and are being cancelled.
-
I just got 3 different $15 "IP blacklist" invoices and tickets for a VPS that has been offline for months. The IP address specified is not the one that the VPS was originally been on, though maybe it got migrated. The tickets say "w…

(Quote) That is interesting. Some years ago providers were leery of crypto payments but a few took a chance on them and were pleasantly surprised to find very little abuse. I guess that didn't last. Thanks for keeping us informed.
