Discord bot will be fine. Mine runs a static site and wireguard, both survive the reboots. Just don't store anything you can't lose, and set up that monitoring so you know when to restart stuff. The pain is real but the learning is too.

rsync to another cheap box, or even to your laptop if it's on. I use borgbackup to a Hetzner Storage Box now, EUR 3.81 for 100GB. Way more reliable than Hostinger's "block storage" which is just NFS over a wet string apparently

So I bought this $3/month vps from Hostinger 18 months ago lol. Figured it would die in a month Packet loss like 3-4% random times, they do "network maintenance" like 3x a month always at 3am my time. Lost all my data once when they migrated and "forgot" to move my block storage But honestly? Learne...

Poll time, you can only pick one for your next VPS. IPv6-only with a /64 and no NAT, or NAT IPv4 with shared v4 and no v6 at all. This is the question. I been running IPv6-only on RackNerd for 6 months and honestly that was mistake. Half my stuff breaks behind CGNAT at my ISP so I cant even S...

Lol that sucks dude... Contabo did this to me last year.. forced me onto their new plan and my bill went from $4 to $9... I tried to fight it but support said it was "equivalent or better" even tho my new vps had worse cpu... you cant trust these price lock gimmicks.. I moved to InterServer after th...

Migrated from Contabo to OVHcloud cuz everyone said it was better lol Triple the price 6 months later im back at Contabo This is either loyalty or Nuremberg syndrome u tell me

Easy, just use UptimeRobot (https://uptimerobot.com) or this thing called HetrixTools. Set it to check every minute from 3 locations. Compare to your provider page. If they say 99.9 and your logs show 2 hours down, they are lying. Most providers use 5 minute interval so quick blips get missed. Some...

So it has been 5 years on this €4/mo fiber plan from Contabo and somehow they still have not killed it. Every year I expect the "we regret to inform you" email and it never comes. They even migrated me to new hardware last year without touching the price. Anyone else sitting on a deal that should be...

Singapore with bad peering vs us with good routing and everyone picks singapore cuz "asia = fast" lol

My traceroute to a "singapore" box goes singapore tokyo san jose back to singapore zats like 300ms extra for no reason lmao

Routing > location every time fight me lol

Following this thread closely. I have a 256MB backup VPS at HostHatch Stockholm that does nothing but rsync from my main boxes. 12MB sshd, 8MB rsync daemon, rest is buffer. Never logged in for 6 months, uptime 187 days.

I should automate the health checks but paranoia says "if it works, don't touch...
