Overselling isn't evil, lying about it is · Web Hosting

155 days but this still gets me

lee_mcr said:
Nobody reads it, but it's there

There's the rub isn't it. Hostinger at least puts the weasel words in the open. Most bury them in a 14kb TOS or just lie outright.

I had a Vultr "guaranteed 2GB" plan that couldn't even boot a stock Debian inst...

Celebración triste: mi sitio sobrevivió a mi proveedor de internet · Multilingual

Esto todavía duele. Tuve exactamente la misma configuración en GreenCloudVPS el año pasado, todo redundante, alertas de monitoreo que solo me pingueaban a mí. Resultó que mis "usuarios" eran tres personas en el mismo espacio de coworking. [quote=YuriDavid] Your redundancy is only as good as your use...

Portainer vs Yacht: fight for tiny hosts · VPS Hosting

"lightweight" "tiny" "efficient"

Allegedly Yacht uses 30MB versus Portainer's "claimed" 80MB. Source: trust me bro, I read it on a forum once.

"free" "open source" "community driven" — all air quotes until the solo maintainer gets a real job and your "stable" UI becomes abandonware.

I ran Portain...

I am ian, allegedly from london. I found this place because I was researching why my "dedicated support" at a certain german provider took 4 days to respond. Source: trust me bro, it happened.

Understanding IRR route objects vs RPKI ROAs without an existential crisis · Networking

yuki14 said:
Tata accepted it anyway because the route object was there

This is exactly what I meant. "We check both" means "we parse both and take the permissive result." It's security theater. You think you have defense in depth but really you have defense in "whatever lets the packet th...

"solid writeup" allegedly

"trust on first lookup" is basically "trust forever because nobody updates these things" in practice. Source: trust me bro

Ive seen "partial valid" prefixes from "reputable" upstreams that allegedly check both. In reality they check whichever is easier and ignore mismatch...

Contabo 2yr: still worth it or time to move? · Web Hosting

"barely noticed" is doing the same work "needed" did earlier.

KernelCare patches in RAM. Reboot swaps it in. That handoff is seconds, not minutes, and monitoring with 300s granularity won't catch it. Your "zero" becomes "probably happened" real fast.

I've had "100% uptime" providers where my own b...
