sleep time!
iDaho
Also nice. There's a Christmas thingy downtown. Might stop by if I can find a sitter.
I've thought about buying a pair to try them out to see if I notice anything. I don't have issues but always wondered if I would "feel" a difference with them.
I really notice the difference, especially if I'm behind a screen for days in a row.
fuck yes!!! third fucking time is the charm, as per fucking usual.. i was able to make VPS use VPN and work as SOCK proxy!!!!!!!!!!!! so many fucks is because i literally spent somewhere nearing 10hrs trying to make it work. every time revealing next tiny bit to help.. took me hours just to figure out how to keep SSH connection out of the VPN traffic and hence not to drop me every time i turn on the wireguard VPN, and finally today on 3rd attempt i was able to use VPS with wireguard VPN and socks proxy using DANTE!! fucking yes!!! there's been a lot of info churning, lots of trial and error, and finally I got it. actually there's no need to allow or disallow any IPs, the main idea is to route traffic to/from SSH port and DANTE connect port outside of the VPN traffic, so needed just 2 simple rules added to VPN config (well 2 per port, so 4 rules), and it works.. i am really happy. this may or may not be a game changer for me.. thanks to everyone who believed in me. it's fucking awesome.
no i do agree, i am getting old and my eyesight is deteriorating. TBH i can read books with much more ease if i turn very bright light onto the pages, so i bought a little lamp to help with it. but screens - all just need to move away a bit and avoid tilting head, then evertthing gets into right focus and i have no issues there. but of course reading fine-print like some ingredients on a candybar or similar - i cannot do it unless i put it under bright light (using phone or that lamp).. it's different with PC screen a bit because if it's day light bright color scheme - when turning head onto a darker screen i can see those color lines from the bright screen., hence i prefer using darker styles to avoid that.
Oh that would be fun
Woot! So did you learn anything new from this experience?
sounds like you are trying to trap me somehow? i mean, i learned how to do what i needed to do. what else? i reconfirmed that hard work and perseverance always pay off sooner of later. as usual i understand that it is very, i would say extremely useful to write up what you are trying to do, sometimes several times, it really helps kick your brain into higher gear and make it work and churn the data and eventually spit out a solution.
my next project will be trying to set up that at home using windows and vmware install of ubuntu24. i want to see if i can make such VPS from my home PC. the problem is that i am behind CGNAT, which doesn't allow open ports, so VPN should be acting as the port opener, and things seem very complicated once again.. i also tried to do this already and spent a few hours but with no avail. involves stupid windows firewall, redirecting vmware and/or other instances to use VPN, etc.. this is more of a personal project to check some theory i have.. any ideas?
No trap, just whenever there's issues, I always try to learn something new from the experience/situation.
vmware is pretty easy, especially on windows so you shouldn't have issues. Though if you have a spare PC or old desktop, I say either install on bare metal or use something like proxmox. I would say esxi/vsphere but since broadcom bought vmware, they kind of killed all faith in the free versions.
As a heads up, IPv6 is now natively supported in our Toronto location
The list at https://my.racknerd.com/index.php?rp=/knowledgebase/25/Do-you-provide-IPv6-.html has been updated.
Oh, that's cool! Thanks!
Yeah, even though I've done sysadmin things for decades, whenever I'm doing something new for the first time (and usually second and sometimes third) time, at a minimum I copy all of my commands from the history into a text file, along with snippets of any file I modified in the process, and stick it in a git repo with just a descriptive name for the text file (no directories). It's amazing how many times I've wanted to do the same thing a year later, and this really helps just remember all the steps, and I create a second text file for the repeat - and then look to see if there were any differences.
If I do something more than about 5 or 6 times and there's lots of manual steps, I'll probably try to make a script to do most of it so it's easier the next time.
Just 2 more pages....
What happens in 2 more pages?
1345.
Its a nice number.
Nice! I can't wait to see more locations on that list!
Biggest question being, is it available in Ireland?
Love you
Yep, seems like Ireland is listed in that link.
Do you provide IPv6?
RackNerd can allocate native IPv6 in the following locations:
Los Angeles DC-02
Los Angeles DC-03
Utah
Toronto, Canada
Strasbourg, France
Dublin, Ireland
After ordering your VPS, or if you've already ordered a VPS with RackNerd, just open a ticket requesting as many as you like (up to 100). We allocate these free of charge.
If you are a dedicated server customer in any of the above datacenter locations, you can submit a ticket to request a /64 IPv6 allocation at no additional charge.
You can open a support ticket here: https://my.racknerd.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=1
Same,
Oh, thank your for that!! didn't know. Now, it's on ipv6 IE server. Life is beautiful....
If I win enough credit that is ...
What a lovely day.. couldn't find a sitter though, so no partying unfortunately
I did however receive a gift from a client today, Johnny Walker blue label...
Stoked!
I mean, unless you deal with shipping for the handheld (pretty sure you mentioned you're not in US), you will get a decent amount of RN credit for your current placing in the engagement
Oh that would be nice ! I have a server in ie currently but really want something beefier!
Hello, I would like to double my bandwidth.
