  • Can you offer no setup fee on V10G L with extra disks... That would be great

    It is except for the largest one -- it requires manually ensuring that space is available, potential migration etc.

    For longer than 1 month payment none of them have setup fees.

  • Love it when providers say unlimited* and completely fail to resolve/clarify that asterisk somewhere. 🤦‍♂️

    Ooopsie!
    Minimum speed is 100Mbps. My bad when typing that out.

    Good catch, will make extra notion next time.

    Oh and it is explained on our site on that service page

  • Happy with their service overall for the price. However, they do not allow for automatic invoice payments from stored credit. Almost forgot to click pay once and almost lost my service :P

    we are considering changing this over.
    We had so much issues with some resellers a decade ago not wanting their credit to be used automatically we turned that off.

    But now it's vice-versa, and some other things are also pointing towards it might be best to just re-enable that.

  • @PulsedMedia is it possible to use webdav ? I would like to use the storage of the seedbox to mount it to my storage server at home.
    with ftp i was not able to change the permissions

    no. lol we removed the support years ago due to no demand. All of sudden it is now in demand. time to roll it out again i guess.

    With what do you use webdav?

  • I am running a rsync script to backup my storage to the seedbox.
    The main problem is, that i am not able to change the file permissions while uploading.

    If you are already using rsync, and esp if you use a key, you can just send commands to the server, or sshfs mount as well. No need for webdav in that case

  • Hmm. the folder is mounted over ftp to my server /mnt/storage
    If i try to change a file permission manually i always get permissions denied. Also as root user.

    During normal order subscription creation works every single time. From invoice view it is random luck. One time payment works every single time. PP changed something and it's been random luck ever since.

    Software update on our end is coming within december, maybe that fixes making new subscriptions after the order (from invoice view)

    Been down this road a few times. High demand equals 2-5 users 😂

    Seriously though, every time lol

    Great offers and I'm in. Linux ISOs for everyone.

  • can it use on my exist seedbox, or i have to migrate my data to new blackfriday seeedbox, :'(

    I got Debian 8 … EOL … hackers are peeking into my garden.

    Egress to Verizon FiOS is congested in the evening.
    I have to setup VPN through OVH France, and then I can stream 1080p movies in VLC app.

    lol -- Debian 8 is not that old. That being said, we are slowly migrating everyone to newer distro -- it just takes time. We just don't want to do dist-upgrades on the servers, too many things can go wrong. That being said, we are open to feedback on experiences on jumping Deb8 to Deb10/11 straight with dist-upgrade / apt full-upgrade

    Tbh, the way we manage things it might be better if we move to a rolling release distro, since that is what we do as well internally. But at a quick glance there does not seem to be a good option for Debian based distro, and Arch would be the best bet. Tho that might change too many things. There are so many directions we could take the development tho.

    Verizon FiOS: Hasn't it always been congested?
    I cannot recall it ever being 24/7 fast to Europe. Tested from various DCs.

    Webdav; Noticed that atleast module was left in for lighttpd, so if you direct access your lighttpd port it just might work. might. Not sure, have not tested. check .lighttpd.conf. to see your lighttpd port.

    Hi, I see you got rid of the Filemanager rutorrent plugins a while ago. They were pretty helpful, but the last time I tried to install them, it just wasn't happening.
    What do you guys think of the Flood frontend for rtorrent/transmission/etc? It seems more suited for individuals that aren't power-users but it's decent looking.

    Open ticket. This (or any other) topic on LET is not a place for things like that.

    Debian 8 is EOL, which means vulnerability is not patched.

    Reputation says Debian dist-upgrade is well-tested and rarely go wrong, while Ubuntu often breaks on dist-upgrade.
    However, you can only dist-upgrade one major version at a time, so that upgrading from Debian 8 to Debian 11 would take too much effort.

    You may as well install Debian 11 on a spare unit, and give everyone 3 days to copy over their files.

    The first time I used Arch Linux, pacman wanted to upgrade libc, and then the machine never started again.
    I never tried Arch Linux after that.

    I can download from OVH Roubaix fast, so I install WireGuard there.
    The drawback is that Google displays in French.

    Happens all the time to me, although I just use FileManager to go and remove the files rather than FTP.

    open a sales ticket, we don't post those publicly as they will get abused for sure.

    That's a decade+ old rTorrent bug. restart rtorrent and it works again, also refrain from deleting huge amounts of data & torrents at once.

    You can submit bug report to rtorrent github, maybe you can get someone to actually fix this. We cannot.

    no opinion on flood at this time.

    @yoursunny said: Debian 8 is EOL, which means vulnerability is not patched.

    Serious issues still tend to get patches. But yes it is EOL and it is on it's way out. Just changing hundreds of servers, thousands of users is not an overnight task -- nor should any company worth your money take such huge risks.

    This has been on-going process for ... Uh i cannot recall how long now.

    @yoursunny said: Reputation says Debian dist-upgrade is well-tested and rarely go wrong, while Ubuntu often breaks on dist-upgrade.
    However, you can only dist-upgrade one major version at a time, so that upgrading from Debian 8 to Debian 11 would take too much effort.

    Certainly works quite well on a typical no custom stuff servers.
    We don't run vanilla everything, all from repo, no custom configs servers.

    Things are not as simple as on a single user desktop system with vanilla config everything, when you deal with servers and thousands of users. Not even close.

    Always when we have idling already empty production deb8 servers we forget to test what-if the dist-upgrade multiple times over would work.

    but alas, it's also good to do full cleanup occasionally. Even linux builds up all kinds of excess stuff when you do things like this. That stuff can cause that we need 2 versions for certain configs (esp Python!!): One for fresh installed Debian, one for dist-upgraded.

    Oh we initially built our code for Debian 5 ... Yea it's been that long

    @yoursunny said: You may as well install Debian 11 on a spare unit, and give everyone 3 days to copy over their files.

    This is how we upgrade the machines. There are always users who ignore all emails, even if we send 1000 of them over 2 months, still some users fail to notice the notifications. Also that takes work. Typically you also need to give 1-2 weeks of time. Way too often after 7 days we shutdown the server and there are complaints why the old one is down.

    There are always some users who will take gripe with you if you move them. It's not as bad as it used to be, but still some users will be angry about it. Years ago each migration could cause 5+% service cancellation rate, even when it has zero issues, zero tickets, everything went as smooth as it possibly could. I know i would be annoyed of a sudden migration, i just like things to work and remain on place from here to as long as i use it.

    TL;DR; Migration of all old Deb8 systems to Deb10/Deb11 takes years. Not hours, not days, not weeks or even months, but years.

    We are going to try dist-upgrade from deb10 to deb11 -- there are far far fewer changes than even deb8 to deb9. Deb11 tested without any changes to our codebase seemed to be like 98% there.

    @yoursunny said: The first time I used Arch Linux, pacman wanted to upgrade libc, and then the machine never started again.

    I never tried Arch Linux after that.

    Ouch. I've heard of this kind of stuff happening on Arch before too, nature of rolling releases i guess.

    @Nekki said: Happens all the time to me, although I just use FileManager to go and remove the files rather than FTP.

    Sucks completely. You would think something like this gets fixed after more than a decade, but no. Happens less on low load servers tho, as they can erase the data faster. Sometimes rTorrent doesn't even try, got to restart rTorrent.

    These kinds of stuff is why we consider rTorrent abandonware and are gradually moving to other torrent clients.

    also we tested that both rTorrent and Deluge software is the limit for upper performance. No matter how much hardware you throw at them, after certain point you just cannot get more throughput from them.

  • PulsedMediaPulsedMedia Member, Patron Provider

    Oh one more thing; We do take every opportunity to upgrade distro. ie. on raid5 systems rather than replace the failed drive, we migrate all users to new server as it's both safer and accomplishes dist-upgrade & system cleanup at the go.

    But still, it all takes time. We try to avoid provisioning new users to Deb8 servers as well as much as possible.

    Funny thing, there is still even a couple of deb7 servers in production ... tho they are on expedited list to be upgraded.
