(Quote) Linux will run happily with only 4 MB of RAM, including all of the trolls such as Windows 98, Vim, and push-ups. (M. Welsh & L. Kaufman, Running Linux, 2e, 1996, p. 32) Therefore, 4MB should be the low end minimum. (Quote) I had a 64MB…

(Quote) The caveat of free Google Cloud is not the lack of IPv6, but the measly 1GB transfer per month and very expensive egress fees. Even Virmach and BF-DOLLA-NAT provide more than 1GB egress. (Quote) You should setup a brand selling 4MB IPv6-onl…

(Quote) Last year I discovered that the antivirus is crashing, and later unearthed an SSD malfunction. I asked IT technician to replace the hard drive, and reinstall with a clean OS image, not copying anything over. This turned a somewhat slow compu…

I do not use any ad blocker. As a website author myself, I understand that many websites rely on advertising to survive, so that I keep relevant advertisements loaded and visible. I watch ad-free movies on Amazon Prime Videos that I have paid for. …

Number inputs on the https://app.cloudcone.com/compute/create page (not special offer) are behaving weirdly on Chrome Android. For example, RAM default to 1024. I can't delete the existing number and change to 2048, etc. If I type additional digits,…

Google deadpool imminent! I'm moving to: * Chrome => Firefox * Gmail => MXroute * Maps => OpenStreetMap * Drive => Dropbox * Photos => Nextcloud * YouTube => VCR tape * Music => iPod * Search => library * Calendar => pape…

(Quote) The main benefit of Netlify is its ease of use: * Drag and drop a folder. * Build in Netlify. * Build in GitHub Workflows and deploy to Netlify. Nowadays I have Cloudflare in front of Netlify. It works like a charm. However, be careful wi…

(Quote) Don't you want: * AF_XDP sockets so you can transmit more than 10 Gbps in one core? * kernel drivers for the shiny new 5G modem? * acceleration for post quantum crypto? * compiler optimization for next year's CPU model?

(Quote) I use Ubuntu LTS but upgrade every two years, typically after XX.04.1 version comes out. I have Debian on smaller machines, but haven't experienced an upgrade so far. I like to live close to the edge. I'm definitely not waiting 5 years to t…

Everyone should switch to Ubuntu LTS or Debian Stable. I do not use RHEL derivatives because, as a geocacher, the word "DNF" has a negative meaning. (Image) Push-ups solve all the problems. Serve push-up videos from all your VPS. Never…

(Quote) Cheapest is ColonCrossing. (Image) Premium providers are on Clouvider. Asian-optimized providers are on Psychz Networks.

Web-based jailed FreeBSD shell accounts, supported by advertising. You already have the perfect logo for that.

Auction can potentially increase profits but it comes with a risk of having to sell at lower than cost. It cannot prevent reselling.

(Quote) Virmach has been selling to fraudsters and spammers for years on rented platform, and they haven't deadpooled yet. (Quote) Business is hard. Looks like I shouldn't attempt to enter this market as a provider. (Quote) In this case, the VPS c…

(Quote) This server is compiling large programs. The Go linker is reading many files. I'm hoping for even faster compilation. (Quote) It's ext4 filesystem on Intel NVMe. I'll consider ZFS when it's due for reinstall. Occupied memory is 128GB of hu…

(Quote) I'm not making money. F-1 and J-1 visa holders are not allowed to make money. I build websites and apps for giggles and LOLz. (Quote) That's true. I built my own virtual machine management software before Vagrant becomes popular. (Quote) A…

(Quote) Good to know. It's Google Compute Engine offering per-second billing. Their egress traffic is pretty expensive though. (Quote) Virmach would definitely suspend if you exceed 33% for more than 10 minutes. Clueless Administrator LLC would pro…

(Quote) SLURM is widely used in supercomputing to manage job queues. You have to figure out the bidding and micropayments side of things. There is a vulnerability when the same person own the clearinghouse and a provider: * Let's say Incompetent A…

(Quote) I have a different idea. These non-time-sensitive, compute-heavy jobs, such as video encoding or machine learning, are more suitable in a batch system. * Customers post their jobs to a queue: program (Docker container), command, input files…

(Quote) On VPS: High CPU, high IO, high load => suspend. I want to encode 1-minute of push-up videos, once a week. It would be a few minutes of high CPU on Ryzens. However, I'm too scared to do that on a "fair share" VPS. I can't affo…

(Quote) I don't have current service with any of the above. They are too premium for me. I had two of my firsts with these providers. My first KVM box was from RamNode in 2012, 256MB, $11.35 quarterly. I canceled after one quarter because OpenVZ is…

My favorite is https://bgp.he.net/ It has a clean interface and information about BGP peers. However, there's no geolocation feature.

(Quote) There's only one official troll. I wonder how to submit an application for a troll tag. As for the drama, HostLoc has even more of them. HostLoc is infiltrating LET these days. Every time I see a "user banned please carry on", I g…

(Quote) I met the designers of the NIST Randomness Beacon and asked a question similar to this. Their answer is that, you can aggregate the results of multiple randomness beacons controlled in different countries by different agencies. It is improba…

(Quote) A drawback of using RANDOM.ORG is that there's no way to prove that the administrator did not run the randomizer more than once. A more trustworthy method is to use the NIST Randomness Beacon: * Prepare the list of entries. * Pick a time i…

(Quote) Too late. Already terminated. Cyber Monday was Nov 30 and billing cycle ended on Dec 01. I didn't even have enough time to migrate the services, so that now my push-up video site is operating at reduced capacity. It was on EDU50 promo code.…
