Hamsters with unixsocks? Or still a no go?
Ahh the paradox of life
I must say I'm pretty stoked with my Pi. The things feels quite snappy and suits my needs perfectly.
You like to torture them don't you?
I use both a theme and some combo of location provider service etc.
When I started growing my idlers it started off as planets
Then the BeatlesOne album
Then I found a random list of unique names
So, the hostname of any system is always unique
A cname is added with the provider location service combo

Why? What did ya do?
I think the spanking part of the title wasn't liked by some people.
Yeah
How peaceful she looks
Calmly waiting for the smoke being lit
no
Totally.
I use my pi for a Tang clevis server for remote network unlocks running almalinux
Just works
Let's change the title
Does it actually make sense to use luks on VPS disks? Just asking for my own use case.
Oh no
Technically not much as the password can be sniffed with a command or 2 or more from the host.
I remember someone saying if the host threw the disk away, it may help?
I have always used it as a thing and it just happens by default on any setup I do.
Maybe I am over paranoid...
It has little to no performance impact. So that's another reason I end up implementing luks
Ahh
Good old pull the plug
YABS of my @ShockHosting dedi from the giveaway, two 480 GB SSDs in RAID 0:
I do kind of want the sweater, even though I'd feel dirty wearing it.
Oh damn.
Completely forgot about this
So how does it work? U pick any config and it's deployed for 3 months in any location?
It's a decent box I'd say. Slightly low powered cpu but I think it will serve as a good light weight setup box
Yes, but in the USA only.
And again many thanks to @ShockHosting and @FAT32!
Adding it to my to do list...
No problem, let us know if you ever need anything!
For my part, following getting the 6/6/66 and also in part due to the participation here, I’ve preordered their 8/8/88 in NL and paying a good chunk more there compared to the $12 flash offer. So hopefully I’m not alone and those deals have or will lead to more sales for them. From what I could tell over Xmas, their ‘mostly dedicated’ plan were selling through nicely for them.
Honestly think the $20yr will be recouped from the positive comments given there appears to be some very active members there that nabbed it.
Not too worried ATM. Took a while for them to sort out the 6/6/66 for Black Friday but they did. I’ll give them time again. Just saw that Silver acknowledged receiving the details this morning, so I’m comfortable it’ll go through.
Need $7/yr VPS 🥺👉👈
Yeah, a 3/yr IPv4 VM thank you
Anyway..
guilty as charged
