I haven't compared it to modern setups with very large hosts. However, a major thing that helps is usin…

Hi,

I'm requesting to be added as a provider.

I offer VPSs hosted on OpenBSD, on second hand, low power hardware, from Spokane, Washington, USA. The datacenter is in a b…

I think this one supports direct SMTP/IMAP. In fact, their web client uses SMTP/IMAP over websockets.

How bad is your downtime currently? How much downtime is acceptable? Do you know why it's going down?

Shared hosting isn't necessary unreliable, but it can be.

Is this a…

I think it really defeats a lot of the purpose of crypto to use a major KYC payment provider like Paypal. Better to use your own nodes and have a gateway that you control.

I know that'…

Wow! This sounds like a huge pain.

I wonder how they track state of which page to go to next? I think there would have to be a mesh or some kind of centralized system to know what to c…

I'm sorry, that sounds rough. AI is a thorn in everyone's side, in my opinion. 15 second page loading times for Github seems like a real pain!

Have you tried Gemini/smolweb options? Th…

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 w…

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 ce…

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 extern…

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 …

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.
