Jonas said:
Then I lost everything when /var filled up

The breakeven is closer than you think

Non, the electricity in France it is not cheap. I am calculate, the VPS it is win. But the fiber, the upload, this it is why I am stay at home.

What do you use for hardware monitoring that isn't Nagios from 2008? · Dedicated Servers

The fork is on my Gitea, not GitHub, the connection is slow today. But you want, I send link in PM.

The mapping is JSON now, not hardcode. Before it was pain, yes. Now community send pull request with their SuperMicro X9 or Dell R720, I merge. 47 vendors, maybe 30 from other people.

Nouvelle : l'Algérie ouvre son datacenter national, vos pronostics ? · Multilingual

Pro tip: attendre les specs avant de célébrer.

1. Le site de présentation est hébergé où ? Vérifiez l'IP
2. Quel tiering ? Souveraineté numérique veut dire souvent "prix x3"
3. Quel peering ? L'Algérie a peu de fibres sous-marines

Heads up: j'ai vu ce pattern avec trois "datacenters nationaux" ail...
