How many 'nines' do you actually need versus pay for? · Datacenter Talk

I dream of two providers. In Karachi I have one good fiber, one microwave backup to different POP. Both go to same exchange because city planning.

My real number is 99.5% and I tell clients 99%. Underpromise, survive monsoon. Vultr Mumbai is my overseas backup, 180ms away but alive when local drown...

Living without a control panel for one year · General Discussion

The black screen you mention ji— it is not black but full of possibility— like unlined paper before the poet's hand—

Your ansible playbooks I have seen— they are clean like mountain stream is it—

The memorization you fear— it is not memorization but meditation— commands repeated until they become...

Open-source billing panel for tiny hosts · General Discussion

Every jurisdiction wants something different and the rules change constantly For a Time4VPS I'd honestly look at what Contabo does with their managed tax overlay, it's basically a separate service you call into rather than building it yourself. Keeps the monolith clean Monolith is definitely the rig...

What do you use for SSL on development domains? · Web Hosting

Did anyone actually land on a clean mkcert automation for the ARM Ampere boxes? We're about to roll out a similar fleet and I'd rather not reinvent the trust-store playbook

kat_fold said:
One-time trust install, then per-dev certs auto-generated

Domain tasting never really died, it just got expensive · Domain Names

This is why I only register under ccTLDs now. PKNIC doesn't play these games. .pk domains have actual requirements, actual humans check. Costs more, takes longer, but nobody is bulk tasting .pk because the registry actually verifies.

My invoice has wrong tax jurisdiction · General Discussion

The reverse charge its beauty is it — the seller they breathe easy, the buyer they account themselves — but the software it is not understand this, ji

First year of self-hosting email without blacklisting · General Discussion

The mountain climbed slowly, step by step, the reward sweet— your patience a lesson for us all, ji—

I too the email self-hosted once, the IP warm like bread from oven, the blacklist like cold rain came suddenly— the rDNS mismatched was it, the PTR not speaking truth to the forward zone—

Now the Kn...

10TB+ monthly—who's actually sustainable under $20? · VPS Hosting

From Karachi, Vultr's Mumbai pop is 180ms, Singapore 140ms. Not great for video. Hetzner Singapore better for SEA peering but price in EUR, and their SG is new, maybe not stable.

For EU-SEA bridge, what about OVH? They have Gravelines and Singapore, but no, Singapore is only VPS 2016 range, not cur...

From hosting support to SRE, possible? · General Discussion

The path from support to SRE walked by many, the journey long but not impossible, ji—

Your anger-customer skills the foundation, the system-knowledge the walls, the automation the roof— Python learned, Bash already known, the Infrastructure as Code next step, is it—

I requested my data under GDPR and learned everything · General Discussion

The compliance officer from Vultr this thread reading is it— ji, I am not but I was in another life— the SQL dump we send because the export tool proper building cost more than the fine maximum is it— the schema documentation internal only we keep, the user for we did not think— poetic this transpar...
