That I can understand and I'm the first to acknowledge when we have made a mistake so that we can do better, as can be seen in this thread. However in this particular instance we have not failed to give the customer support, in fact we have just been ignored when trying to help.
I would once again strongly recommend anyone with an issue to contact our support, PM me here or send an email to emil at hosthatch.com.
95 has that shit winsock trumpet shit. You'd want at least Win98se
I've tried 95 and 98 installs a few times in Proxmox and 95 actually gets further, but neither has completed (yet)
There's also that 98SE version with Millennium patches. Too lazy to Google for a link, sorry.
But such old operating systems are vulnerable. Even if one gets them working, exposing them to internet will compromise them.
I still remember... good old memories...
That brings me back. Thanks.
The thing is that nobody is really scanning for vulnerabilities in very old OSes any more.
Many years ago, I did an experiment where I set up a Windows XP (original, no patches) VM and exposed it publicly via my router's DMZ, so it was fully exposed to the internet. Wrote some scripts to alert me if network traffic for the VMWare process increased a lot, to catch if anything suspicious happened.
And... nothing happened. In the early 2000s I would have gotten a flood of Windows messenger service popups
along with other attacks (there were a bunch of vulnerabilities in the original XP that were patched in SP1 and SP2).
This was before randomware like WannaCry, so maybe things would have been different if I had the VM online while WannaCry was running wild.
Anyways, this is getting a bit offtopic now
sorry
Challenge accepted..
Back in 2002, there was a stat that a fresh WinXP that finished setup on a publicly exposed network would be hacked in 3 minutes and change.
And now Windows setup prompts for which network connection it's plugged into and defaults to public when not specified.
Seems that the DDoS protection in Chicago will be turned on automatically when there's high inbound traffic, and 3-10ms latency will be added. It'll be switched off automatically after several hours.
Noice!
When I get time I keep playing around with it.
When using their IPv6 in Stockholm, there're some strange random packet loss and "no route to host" error occasionally.
I googled then and it seems to be fixed after configuring
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1in thesysctl.conf. I have no idea why this worked, but I'm posting here in case someone also met this issue.IPv6 is too complicate. yoursunny should stop shaming no IPv6.
I agree. IPv4 usually works while IPv6 usually doesn't work.
@yoursunny
you are causing me anxiety now.
OK
IPv6 is working very well in my rice jar, which has a /56. Every grain of rice I put in has an address.
Yesterday I ate the xxxx:46f8:47a0:7832:c044:5000/116 bowl of rice.
If I were to use IPv4 in the rice jar, it would have run out of addresses already.
If a provider doesn't have IPv6, how am I gonna eat?
hosthatch has eaten more salt than you eat rice.
Chinese proverb? May not understandable by most LETers.
And, perhaps I mean, yoursunny may not be a China-born young man and don't understand salt and rice.
Wondering if anyone's here got BGP with @hosthatch up?
We started setting up the first customers this week and everyone with a ticket open will receive an update about their BGP session in the coming days.
That's pretty cool! Will wait till then!
How's BGP working for all of you? I guess silence means it got up and running and everyone is happy?
We're currently rolling it out gradually. All customers was setup in Stockholm last week, today we are doing Los Angeles and Chicago. Should be finished with all locations by next week.
Aha! I asked a bit too quick
Will there eventually be a way for people who didn't open a ticket about BGP last November to get it? I'm at $17?/yr and would probably see about upgrading one of my services if I could still get BGP.
We will be able to offer BGP to the broader customer base once we have migrated over to our new upcoming hosting platform and have it automated it in a better way. Until then it does require some manual work and maintenance (keep in mind we have 14 locations) and we can only offer it to customers spending >$25/mo. I believe we said min. $180/year for Black Friday 2020 customers though which is still applicable.
Any ETA for that?
