The reseller account I bought on impulse · Reviews

Actually, "the server red" is ungrammatical. The adjective precedes the noun in English. You mean "the red server."

Hetzner's "unmetered" claim merits scrutiny; 2 TB is a cap, not a suggestion. I have observed three threads this month where users exceeded soft limits and faced throttle. "Unmetered"...

Idk why I do this but I stayed up and we debugged it together. Guy was in philippines, I was in helsinki, neither of us knew what timezone the server was in.

I tracerouted this once. InterServer's Secaucus DC, their cron was set to UTC-5 but the VPS panel displayed UTC+8...

Running a Mailcow instance on a 2GB VPS · Web Hosting

71 days late, but did anyone try running ClamAV with a smaller signature set?

ClamAV signature DB grows 2-3MB weekly

— you can point it at a custom mirror that strips out the Windows-only definitions. On my old InterServer box that dropped resident memory to about 400MB.

Is it rude to ask for a test IP before ordering? · General Discussion

haroldgsm said:

The ones who refuse are the ones who should worry.

Actually, "ones" is vague. You mean "providers." Also, you wrote "twenty years" but "20" in the next clause is inconsistent.

A test IP costs nothing to provide. Hiding it signals either incompetence or deception. Semicolon...

RackNerd VPS is in Amsterdam region

Amsterdam to Lyon is what, 15ms? Your latency baseline matters. Dnsperf with -l 30 or -l 60 is fine for throughput but tells you nothing about how that behaves at 95th percentile when the network hiccups.

My home lab cost more than colocation, feeling stupid · General Discussion

You have written "its" twice where you need "it's". The contraction matters when you mean "it is".

Your colocation arithmetic omits setup fees. Most providers charge 100-200 for cross-connect or remote hands. Factor this.

Semicolon usage in your list is inconsistent. You used periods in the first...

USING MORSE CODE

Actually, "Morse code" is a misnomer. Samuel Morse developed the code, but it is properly "Morse code" or "International Morse Code." You used it correctly. I am correcting your capitalization only.

Is Contabo a scam? They only accept crypto · General Discussion

"VPS" needs article: "a VPS". "was okay" lacks specificity; was it stable, was network consistent, did you test latency?

Actually, Contabo has been discussed before; their grammar on status page is atrocious. "Server's is operational" — apostrophe error in a status update. Unprofessional.
