Exactly. The semicolon strikes again. "Fair use; determined at provider's discretion." The semicolon makes it a definition, not a limitation on them. Learned this from a contract lawyer in Manchester over a pint.

My advice: ask for the specific met...

Late to this, but

I did the graphviz thing once for a Contabo migration. Took longer than the migration itself and was wrong within a week because someone added a prepend I didn't notice. These d...

Before you torch the entire box (which I have done. More than once). Let's look at the actual binary paths. Run `ls -la /proc/$(pidof bh-agent)/exe` and check if it resolves to something inside `/opt` or `/usr/local` rather than a Docker overlay. If it's a proper systemd service with a unit file, th...

(I keep a drawer of fakes for educational purposes) the tell on these is always the controller. Samsung uses in-house, fakers use whatever's cheapest that week. The relabeled Intel from 2014 is actually a collector's item now (not really). At least Intel NAND was decent. Check the PCB color. Real 87...

30 USD? That's the hidden cost nobody talks about with self-hosting. My rack in Manchester costs me more in electricity than my first flat did in rent, adjusted for inflation.

Back on topic: I found another gem. Ionos (used to be 1&1) has a clause...

Stable > testing. My server uptime is longer than my marriage. That automated email script is the most British thing I have ever heard. In Manchester we would just show up at the facility with a thermos of tea and wait.

This is the way. I have been pushing 48V at my Manchester colo for two years now. The reduction in copper alone made the photos less interesting but the bills more beautiful.

Still take the photos though. Old habit.

I read them (like a responsible adult). Then I ignore the absurd ones. Then I hope for the best.

Hostinger's ToS has something about inspecting customer data for marketing optimization purposes, from memory (yes, really). I asked their sales about it. They said "oh nobody reads that". I did not pur...

Which Ampere SKU? Altra or Altra Max?

2016 I had a proper desk (like this: actual wood, drawers that worked); now I have a shelf from Hetzner's liquidation sale and a folding tray. The monitors multiplied though; I went from one to three, then back to two ultrawides. Semicolons; they multiply too; maybe too well. My setup got smaller in...
