Mini-guide : configurer Nginx en français, erreurs courantes · Multilingual

Quelqu'un a réussi à faire marcher le chemin nginx-locale sur stable ? J'ai tenté de backporter le module pour une VM Hostinger et le build plantait sans cesse sur la chaîne sub_filter.

Backup geography

GDPR Article 32 requires "ability to restore availability and access." It does not require honesty in marketing, unfortunately. But the German host with the padlock PDF: I forwarded to my Datenschutzbeauftragter. Their opinion: "enterprise" without TOM documen...

Malicious incompetence

From a regulatory standpoint, interfering with ICMP for "security" while degrading basic connectivity is worth documenting. The BSI in Germany has guidance on this. Not that providers read it.

'Enterprise-grade' on budget hosts is meaningless · General Discussion

Cannot produce a processing agreement or subprocessor list, the term is legally hazardous, not merely misleading. I requested documentation from a German budget host last year; they sent a one-page PDF with a padlock clip art. This is not enterprise. This is liability exposure dressed in marketing l...

Reliable dedicated server around $25-30/mo — realistic or fantasy? · Dedicated Servers

I have requested data processing agreements from three hosts in this price range and received meaningful documentation from one. Hetzner, to their credit, responded with a standard DPA within 48 hours. Contabo directed me to a privacy policy last updated in 2023. OVHcloud did not respond in two week...

nginx unix socket weirdness on Contabo · General Discussion

To be precise, I have observed similar behavior on providers who deploy custom netfilter modules for traffic accounting or "security" purposes, which in my opinion raises GDPR concerns regarding data processing without adequate transparency.

Poll: most cursed MTU you've encountered in the wild? · Networking

The reasoning is always "a blog post recommended headroom."

From a privacy perspective, path MTU discovery failures leak significant metadata about network topology. A fixed low MTU is sometimes deployed intentionally to force fragmentation, which certain middleboxes use for traffic analysis. I am...

Vultr support actually taught me DNS from scratch · Reviews

I thought Vultr had borked their resolvers again

This is why I run unbound locally and don't trust provider resolvers for anything. Vultr's are fine for bootstrapping but I point everything at my own recursive setup. Less metadata leakage that way. Not that I think Vultr sells...

Attending my first DC fire suppression test · Datacenter Talk

As far as I know, many operators never witness this. I was invited to our facility's biannual test and accepted without understanding what I would observe. To be precise: the system is FM-200, not Halon, though the effect is similar. The test was scheduled for 02:00 local time. I understood this as...

Budget: $20 total. One big VPS or four tiny ones? · VPS Hosting

OVHcloud is French company with servers in EU. GDPR compliance is straightforward. But if you put box in Singapore or US, you have data transfer questions. For WordPress with EU visitors, keep data in Gravelines or Roubaix. Datenschutz is not about where you live, it is about where data lives.
