I dodged that bullet. Almost became MannDad.
Waiting for fresh YABS;)
Here you go, freshly baked! @VayVayKa. Thanks @MannDude
Very nice stuff. The CPU and SSD are great. Congratulations!
Jan 17 14:14:29 box9 Tor[410]: Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 1 day 18:00 hours, with 166 circuits open. I've sent 81.69 GB and received 80.27 GB. I've received 28339 connections on IPv4 and 8245 on IPv6. I've made 583613 connections with IPv4 and 34887 with IPv6.
I had 10-day uptime, then I got blocked.
How did @MatthewM catch me?
I haggled with support for a week and it's unlocked again.
When I reach 69 days, I can get free onion shirt.
*Tor support, not us.
I've got one, it's pretty okay. Thick cotton and the collar on mine has stretched already, but I have a lot of hair to push through it... Though I like our IncogNET shirts better...
They just wanted to get to know you better for a long time.
Oh, please, IncogNet has terrible uptime, and I don't care if their ryzen node was defective. It's just plain bad service. Remember when @MannDude was on VPSBoard bitching about how LET was so bad? Kek.
Were you on NL-02 by any chance? https://portal.incognet.io/serverstatus.php?view=resolved
TL;DR, long period of service degradation. Tried everything suggested by the datacenter. System checks, swapped some memory, etc. Then on New Years Day the motherboard crapped out and was replaced within a couple of hours and it's been smooth on that node ever since.
Also got a better monitoring system setup with some automated messages getting sent to my phone if certain thresholds are met, which before a lot of the original NL-02 node reboots were going unnoticed on my end due it being a 2-3 minute ordeal and not meeting the 5+ minute threshold previously required for it to trigger an alarm on our end.
Perfect? No. But when things go wrong we fix and improve.
And I still sarcastically make "cluster error" comments when referencing LET. All in fun.
Yes, I kept having my screen sessions killed, and I noticed the uptime was never high (>2 days). Oh, and I really don't think the 128MB plan is good anymore, perhaps, deprecate it. Debian will not run even with SWAP (new kernel versions will just panic due to OOM on boot), only an old version of CentOS works good.
Ideally, just make 256MB the new 128MB plan and keep the 128MB pricing, I guess.

Something for us to consider, I suppose. I already have messaging in the order process that hints that those plans may not work unless using something old like Debian 9 or installing from ISO something like AlpineLinux. Seems like more often then not we just increase the user's RAM for free on those tiny plans to make it more comfortable for them since not everyone realizes how restrictive they are.
Maybe 256, 384 and 512 can be the 'micro plans'.

Guys, the content is over.
Tor support never asked for my name.
I generated two random words on https://correcthorse.pw/ and registered a .tk domain using those words for the contact email.
Nevertheless, if you are reading this, it's pretty easy to figure out which node is mine.
The /24 has only three Tor exits.
I realized that Tor is a US charity, so that it's unlikely for FBI to knock on my door, just for having an exit.
Last time FBI knocked someone, it's because they have hidden service selling weapons.
I do not have any hidden service myself.
Are you speaking of 11 specifically? I've got a few 10's which work fine on 128M.
And? It's just more pointless than before. I plan to keep bumping it.
No, 10, 11 is awful. Bullseye will never be put onto any system ever again after my experience with it. I would rather run EOL software and patch shit myself than use 11.
Ok, I'll bite. What was so broken about it?
Newer version of gcc, etc., too much to go into.
@MannDude said:
Well the virmach thread from 2018 is alive. Why not this? lol
You can relax and sleep peacefully. Only because of the presence of an exit TOR node, no one will come for you;)
I liked Debian 11. And after my experience with it, I installed it on half of my servers, although before that I used only Ubuntu.
Bump. Now 60% more pointless
Bump
The "content" may be over, but the "contest" is still on lol
sigh I never win anything ðŸ˜
Completely Pointless Bump

minimum ram should be 2GB.
For what? Most people over estimate their needs greatly.
Most my stuff runs with 512mb or less with resources to spare.
so that ram will be cheaper.
