The project I have is not very CPU intensive, but I need a well connected network in the EU so this sounds perfect. Thanks again for helping me out on this.
Dare I say....
WELCOME TO PAGE 12 !!!
We'll Reach Page 50 in Next Year.
Maybe we can even accomplish that before the new year hits! Anything is possible — let’s partyyyy! 😎😎😎🥳🎉🎊
We can go go go

Easy, if the band gets together again!
Really glad to hear it!
I'm not sure if someone else has already pointed this out already, but in case you were not already aware, the $11.49/year plan on your website shows "1000 GB Monthly Transfer" while your offer post shows "1500GB Monthly Premium Bandwidth".
Just spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out why my web mail server was showing an expired cert, when I had renewed it on the 9th of December. Restart Apache, cert still shows expired. Verify that cert is correct by decoding at https://www.sslshopper.com/certificate-decoder.html yep cert is good. Then I remember that I am running nginx on that server not apache. Restart nginx. All good now. Does anybody else get these senior moments where you forget which type of web server you are running on a particular server ?
I am currently running 48 VMs.
It's quite natural when you are running 48VMs! BTW, don't most SSL certs provide a way to auto-renew the certs on a daily basis?
@Xrmaddness -- Good eye, thank you! We've adjusted this now to reflect the higher of the two values - 1500 GB
Hope you had an awesome Christmas, by the way!
@dustinc hoping for an SG location in 2024!
Only 2 left for 50
Yah. Target for this year or next?
I renew every 60 days or so. Because I geocast I find it easier to have all my certs auto renew to one location, and then run a script to send them to all the places they need to go. I set it up this way on purpose so that I can read the output to make sure everything goes where it is suppose to and all the web servers restart properly. In this case I fat fingered the web server type so restarting apache did not make the cert renew in nginx. Good news was that my monitor caught it real fast and let me know there was something wrong.
Ngl, 50% of that stuff went over my head, mainly cause, "geocast" is a new term for me. But, thanks for that. I got yet another thing to learn about.
Why not just use edge certificate and origin certificate for this.
I try to stay around 42, but you know BF and RN sales and all that sometimes puts me over then I sell a few off to get back to 42. Of course some of the 42 have gotten much bigger over the years, but there is no limit on size, just the number of VMs.
ryzen in europe please!
Geocast just means that I have multiple servers that run the same synchronized data in various locations around the world. The user gets sent to the closest server to his location so the response time is fast no matter their location. Most people normally just use a CDN to accomplish this but I do it my way. Not saying it is better for everyone, but it is better for me.
Oh, got it. So, kinda like your own CDN. Cool. So, is there a primary server that filters IPs to determine the country and then send the user to the closest server? Or, is there a different mechanism that does the initial filtering.
You may be smarter than me on this one but if I wish to have independently redundant servers without using Cloudflare how would one do this ? Each server is an edge and each server could be an origin at any give time based on failover when any server in the group goes down.
I may not be referring to CF but a traefik nodes serving as edge and others as origin of edge goes down the origin takes over and ssl is automated with traefik, really need to think an approach on this one.
Not like a CDN it’s like GeoDNS the resolver returns different up based on request origin region.
Oh Yeah, Let The Racknerd New Year Party Begin 🎉👏
