This is the part I keep failing at — I have runbooks in three places and I never know which one I updated last

Did you ever settle on a sync method? Syncthing, git pull on login, somethi...

Three acquisitions and the rate survived? That's the part that really surprises me

Usually the first thing a new owner does is "migrate legacy plans" which means your price goes up

Do you still log into...

Thats the REAL question 34 domains on a 50GB plan is either GENIUS or a DISASTER waiting to happen

I ran a reseller once for my DRAMA club's websites, caps because it was actual drama, not the website kind. Outgre...

@mediaaustin Time4VPS at 99.97% 🤔 no SLA but beats the "premium" ones that tracks with my experience actually

I had CloudCone "enterprise" go down 4 hours last month, their status page GREEN the whole time ALL CAPS LYING

My pihole logs don't lie tho

This is why I block the marketing emails and read the actual MSA. HostHatch's Section 14.3 is 847 words. CloudCone's DR clause is 94 words buried in an "Infrastructure Maintenance" section that doesn't mention demand response by name.

Both are disclosed. Neither is clear.

Leaseweb "solution" is just giving up not even trying to comply they could use geolocation API for display but nooooo too hard

I checked six hosts yesterday
- KnownHost: compliant already

Overkill for most. I run borg to rsync.net and call it done. $0.024/GB, pay in USD. Been five years, one restore needed when I rm -rf'd a Nextcloud data dir. Took 20 minutes to pull 80GB.

rsync.net runs on ZFS, you get snapshots for free. No S3 API...

Wait, we're trusting the DC's network for verification? Half the reason I want proof is I don't trust their network either.

My Austin colo has "managed IPMI" which means they hold the password. No thanks. I'll drive to Dallas before I give a DC my IPMI creds.

rsync + zfs snapshots here too but I run it on a TINY box, 8GB RAM, Celeron J4125

Works fine for 200GB, just slow no need to humblebrag about EPYC for home stuff

WARNING though: check your host TOS before pushing to...

Oh no the REBUILD death that gets everyone eventually

I had IDENTICAL scenario with InterServer last year two drives fine, rebuild KILLED the third

Now I run 3-2-1 like a RELIGION
