This has been explained before.
Sorry but as I do not know your favorite color I couldn't paint it nicely to please you after building in a browser, javascript, nodejs, and a video viewer too.
In other words: I already did all the hard work, feel free to create rainbow unicorns and other things you desire yourself.
You can have any colour you want, so long as it's black.
it is about readability and usability, it has nothing to do with my favorite colors.
good work, but without source, it is just a tool i will not use and it is nothing someone should use.
No personal attack here — just wanted to point out that some people do care about knowing what they’re running.
Sure — we might be a small niche — but you can’t really blame us for low usage. It was harder to find than a generic benchmark bash file.
You’re absolutely right. It’s your work and it’s your choice on whether your source is public or not.
TL;DR
Well, then don't use it. Simple as that.
Largely pure theory. Many asked, even demanded source of v1 ... and virtually nobody looked at it. At all.
There is no proof that foss software is better or less vulnerable than closed source software. foss has become a quasi religion for many and they simply blather their mantra. That can be proven.
Funny btw. that next to nobody has any problem downloading and running bash code - which actually is a major security risk.
Really? Clicking on a link was "too hard to do?"
Looking at what was said and how it worked out the reason is a different one: my way didn't match their mindless pattern ("github!").
Correct. And I said it myself openly and clearly. I wrote vpsbench for myself, my own use, and I explained that multiple times. It was simply friendliness and good will to make it available to our community. Btw: The version line says so and mentions LET positively.
.. and for not using github and for some small purely personal preferences.
Correct modulo one element: vpsbench has been used and is being used and some (mainly providers) are known to use it for checking their products and for finding weak spots.
Well noted, I'm not angry with you, I simply responded. Nor am I angry with people using or not using vpsbench. What does anger me though is mindless demands, utter ignorance, virtue signalling, and group dynamics (to put it politely). And no, I don't mean you, I took no offense from you, not at all.
TL;DR I wrote a tool for myself (and I'm very happy with it), I shared it with our community, and a bunch of millenials (at least so they acted) ran their usual mindless but loud ego show preaching open source, github, and what and how I must do and which demands I must meet to make them like vpsbench.
You guys bickering on about not getting the source is really getting old. It's his decision whether to make it public or not. While I love foss and what it stands for it doesn't mean everyone need to go that route. Don't like it that the source is not open? Don't use it. Simple, move on with your life.
Do we have a similarly useful program/script that's open source?
Sorry for the necro.
