Built a 'silent' server, measured 42dB, still too loud · Dedicated Servers

Peering

  • 1U chassis. 40mm fans. Physics. No cfg for that.
  • Rt: 2U or tower. 120mm. Slow rpm. Fw rules: airflow > rpm.
  • Tier-1: fanless xeon-d from contabo.com. Passive heatsink. 0dB. V4 only tho.
  • Transit: "silent" 1U builds on youtube. Fake. Mic gated. BGP with reality.

Geography is latency is physics is relevant. You said Sofia. People read Sofia. Now you say Falkenstein. Which is it?

Also: own colo cross-connect at Hetzner? They do colo in Falkenstein, yes. But you are not in their col...

Hetzner: 6 months fine, then 2 weeks of daily outages · Reviews

V4 path changed. V6 stable. BGP prepended 3x on v4 only. Fw logs: no drops. Rt trace: latency spike 180ms to 340ms, same hop every time. Peering? No. transit insult: cogent. Tier-1 compliment: none found. Cfg check: normal. BGP community 2914:666 present = "performance issue upstream" but no...

Celebrating 5 years of paying too little · Reviews

Peering everyone. Five years on the same v4 block with Contabo. Cfg still manual, bgp sessions stable, v6 tunnel via HE. Never paid more than $3/mo. Fw rules from 2019. Rt table full of dead upstreams. Still tier-1 in my heart. Anyone else running longer on a single bgp session?

1Gbps unmetered iSCSI target: $3/month, shared across 8 nodes

Your math wrong. 1Gbps for 8 nodes = 125MB/s each. Single db query spill to disk = saturation. Rt to target matters, you said nothing on latency.

Transit pricing for that ispsci vlan? Not fre...

I ran a marathon with a GPS watch from 2012 · Off Topic

is the most accurate description of consumer GPS I've ever read.

Still curious what the actual watch model was. 73% cache hit ratio is suspiciously good for that era.
