Looking for cheap v6 transit to balance my v4-heavy mix · Networking

Update: I contacted two French operators per MarseilleMee's suggestion. One quoted €0.03/Mbps for v6 with full tables, no v4 bundle requirement. The other wanted a 24mo commit for anything under €0.05. First one looks promising but their AS-SET in RIPE hasn't been updated since 2022 — https://bgp.to...

Contabo's Canadian presence

I have not heard anything and I would be surprised. Their expansion has been Asia-Pacific and US first. London was the most recent European addition and that was already a year ago. If you need Canadian data residency now, OVHcloud Beauharnois or...

Four years of a photography blog.

I am sorry. That is rough. Photorec will get you JPEGs and maybe some database fragments but do not expect intact posts. Check if the Wayback Machine has snapshots. Check Google cache with cache:yourdomain.com. If your DNS was pointed aw...

Who is the most underrated provider you have actually used? · General Discussion

Windows Server gets unfair stick in these circles I run Hyper-V on Server 2022 at Hetzner and the performance is perfectly adequate for my .NET workloads.

Who is the most underrated provider you have actually used? · General Discussion

The underlying hypervisor doesn't care if your guest is Windows Server or Ubuntu. I have a Hostinger NAT running Windows Server 2022 Core for a small RDP jump box—uses about 800MB RAM idle, handles two concurrent sessions fine. The NAT port forwarding works with RDP if you pick a high port. Not sayi...

SMART says pending sectors, how panicked should I be? · Dedicated Servers

The key difference is Storage Spaces will actually surface the health state in a way that's actionable, but I know this crowd prefers mdadm.

Have you checked if the count is stable? A static pending sector count often means the drive hasn't attempted to rewrite that area yet. If it's not climbing,...

Looking for zurich VPS under $5 with non-residential IP · VPS Hosting

I ran a Windows Server node that "geolocated" to Amsterdam per the provider's claim; actual rack was in London. My clients were UK-based so it worked out, but I only found out during a licensing audit.

If you need clean IP reputation for email, Secaucus business ranges from InterServer are genuinel...
