Well. I am back after 83 days because I only just saw these replies. My notification settings were evidently as reliable as my certificate experience.

That is genuinely useful information and I wish it had reached me in May....

69 days, figured this was worth reviving since the question itself never gets old.

That's rough. I've got three with Hetzner and one with RackNerd, zero outages on my end but they're all in the EU zone. Maybe you're on a different POP they've...

How do you store the Bitwarden service account credentials? Asking because I built networks you use and can't remember my own WiFi password, let alone rotate a service account secret securely.

This is the turtle problem.

Following. I have been using UptimeRobot paid plan for years and the false positive rate is maybe 1 in 20 alerts. Not terrible but at 3am that is terrible. Will test this on a non-critical host first.

So I have this clean /24. Had it since the dialup days. Never a spam complaint. Never a blacklisted host. And suddenly one of the big email providers decides half my space is "poor reputation". The young people with their cloud nonsense tell me "just rotate IPs" as if that is how any of this works....

Vultr. Hetzner. Both have it. Both have Lisbon POPs that route fine. I keep the spreadsheet because someday someone in this forum will ask "who has IPv6" and I will be ready.

Zero downtime is nice but let's talk about the real hero: rsync with -z over a pipe. You compressed 12 wp-content folders during live traffic? Bold. I would have done -a without -z for CPU, but your way probably fine for small business sites.

The Cloudflare proxy trick only works if they were alrea...

Another year... another check... and still no IPv6 on the young people's favorite budget host... I remember when we ran our own prefixes without this cloud nonsense... just noting it for the records... for when someone asks why we keep spreadsheets... three years running now... the tradition continu...

Well. I never did come back to close the loop on this. 59 days quiet, might as well fix that.

You were right and I was wrong. Dropped the TTL to 300 and the next renewal went through clean. Still think "please wait" is a lous...

Built networks you use. Can't remember my own WiFi password.

I can tell you the latency from Lisbon to every Contabo DC except Mumbai by heart. Nuremberg is 42ms. London is 19ms. Singapore is 189ms and not worth it.

What I cannot tell you is when I last fed my own starter. It is in the fridge at m...
