This matches what I saw on a InterServer 256MB box last year, except OpenVPN survived but the handshake took 11 seconds. Client timed out before auth finished.

128MB is not about whether the daemon starts. It's whether...

Two times. First one was OVHcloud, 2019, network not stable for months then poof. Second was cheap Contabo deal, сервер just gone, no email, no refund. Now SamAlvi preachy but right, backup not on same node. Learned that les...

I run BGP to two upstreams in Moscow. The idea that a provider can promise latency on a path they don't control is fantasy. They should say "we guarantee nothing past our border" like honest people.

Self-hosting WordPress is not hard. One cron job for updates, fail2ban, done. People pay $18 for hand-holding because they fear the terminal. The fear is the product.

Still quiet here but I wanted to add: my 60GB drop was on the CloudCone "NVMe" tier, not their SATA SSD. So it's not just a controller bottleneck. The TLC itself hits a wall once the pSLC buffer empties.

I had same thing on CloudCone, ssd plan tanked after 60GB

Da exactly this I had domain for "distributed monitoring project" three year zero code only thing distributed was my attention

Many pointing nowhere I had 45 domain now 6 сервер much happier renewal money now buy better VPS no regret real server need real attention toy domain portfolio just distraction

In Moscow we had customers on that Strasbourg region. 48 hours of explaining that no, I cannot fix OVHcloud. The Zip drive story is better than my stress dreams.

Nothing is. But it is open, documented, repairable, improvable. The vendor solutions are black boxes that age badly. I will take imperfect and open over polished and abandoned.

This is why I self-host. This is why I build.
