@lewdthewides

if someone is gonna be pulling the rug from underneath my instance, it won’t be buyvm

Can you elaborate? Are they free speech absolutists or something?

TBH their pricing looks pretty similar to my host, though mine’s more generous with CPU.

@sjw @matrix

@ademan @sjw @lewdthewides Yeah, BuyVM is pretty hands off. Daily Stormer even used them as a proxy.

@sjw

who tf is francisco? missing some lore here

is colocrossing pozzed? I mean we’re pretty mild over here but I don’t want to run any unnecessary risks… maybe I’ll start a more resilient instance this year now that I know some things to look out for, I think .social was a mistake, and I’ll make sure to avoid colocrossing…

@matrix @lewdthewides

@sjw

nvm, finished the thread, Francisco seems like a pretty cool guy eh remains neutral on his customers and doesn’t afraid of anythin

@lewdthewides @matrix

@ademan @matrix @lewdthewides nop he's also been in the hosting game longer than Digital Ocean

@ademan @matrix @lewdthewides Fran runs Frantech which runs BuyVM

in all seriousness though, don’t date egirls

@matrix @lewdthewides @Moon

@ademan @sjw @matrix @lewdthewides @Moon
Why not?
As long as it's all in my head, I don't see the problem XD

@sjw @matrix @lewdthewides @ademan < me after about a dozen rewatches

@ademan @sjw @matrix I wouldn't call them absolutists, but they're more along the lines of "don't make me have to forward info to the cops or lawyers, and there won't be any issue"

@lewdthewides @sjw @ademan Oh no, I didn't mean to say BuyVM is expensive or bad. It's actually really cheap, especially if you consider the hardware they have and how they divide it up. I simply meant that as storage needs grow, costs grow significantly.

@matrix @lewdthewides @sjw @ademan imagine running an instance and having to care

@EnjuAihara @sjw @matrix @ademan I'm sure that excuse will go far when you have to answer for your users sharing cp through dms

@lewdthewides @sjw @matrix @ademan if the admin doesnt report it nobody would know

@EnjuAihara
If people didn't do that you wouldn't have an instance to join
@sjw @lewdthewides @ademan

@matrix @EnjuAihara @sjw @lewdthewides @ademan Single user instance here. I don't have this problem

@miria @sjw @matrix @lewdthewides @ademan bc you are running an instance

@miria @sjw @matrix @ademan @EnjuAihara >I have a password on my root account. No admin at the VPS service will be able to look through my upload folder!

Oh please I hope y'all are that retarded

@lewdthewides @sjw @matrix @miria @ademan who said that?

@lewdthewides @sjw @matrix @miria @ademan @EnjuAihara hmmm yes let me just mount the gearlandia vmdk to a throwaway machine and.... yep, full rw access lmfao

@sapphire @sjw @matrix @miria @ademan @EnjuAihara sshhh don't tell them that encrypted partitions aren't bulletproof either when you can snapshot the memory from the hypervisor

@lewdthewides @sjw @matrix @sapphire @miria @ademan who encrypts their vps?

@lewdthewides @sjw @matrix @miria @ademan @EnjuAihara also don't tell them that if ANYONE on their host does shady shit the FBI rips the entire virtual host and then prosecutes anyone they find with shady shit (source: babysat the FBI while they ripped an entire VM provider's infrastructure during a "power event")

@sapphire @sjw @matrix @miria @ademan @EnjuAihara >not even a week ago buyvm had a hour long "power outage" in the vm cluster I was in

@lewdthewides @sjw @matrix @miria @ademan @EnjuAihara it took them 6 hours to manually image the disks when I was party to it, less if you’re on SSD

@sapphire @sjw @matrix @lewdthewides @miria @ademan these people are weird

@lewdthewides @EnjuAihara @ademan @matrix @sjw Literally no one said that. You might be retarded.

@miria @sjw @matrix @ademan @EnjuAihara retarded > pedo

@lewdthewides @EnjuAihara @ademan @matrix @sjw I disagree

@lewdthewides @EnjuAihara @ademan @matrix @sjw Also you're a pedo too

@miria @sjw @matrix @ademan @EnjuAihara hi bot

@lewdthewides @EnjuAihara @ademan @matrix @sjw I'm not bot

@sapphire

If I ever grew to the point where that kind of spending made sense, what is your total recurring expense with that? Does that include bandwidth and power?

@sjw @matrix

@ademan @sjw @matrix yes. I added 10GE networking to it and that brings it up to 200 but that’s for other projects. 109 all in pays for my colo and 5 IPs

@sapphire @matrix @ademan I'm paying for internet and electricity to host at home. Plus some VMs to act as a CDN.

@sjw @matrix @ademan lol gross

@sapphire @matrix @ademan gross how?

@sjw

Yeah I don’t really want to make my home internet a DDoS target, what hardware are you using to set up VLANs?

I consider that the bare minimum for me hosting anything at home personally, and I just haven’t done the research lel

@matrix @sapphire

@ademan @matrix @sapphire People aren't connecting directly to me they're connecting through my CDN.
No vlans yet still trying to figure out how to use my own router

@sapphire @matrix @ademan @sjw what’s your hardware investment, though

@pomstan @sjw @matrix @ademan practically zero, with my second colo going in I think I'll be in a total of $50 and most of that is converting the second colo to a better power supply.

pick up a summer/off hour job e-waste recycling

@sapphire @sjw @ademan How much did that server cost and how much hardware are you getting? I have evaluated it and I think I'm getting quite a lot for my money.

@matrix @sjw @ademan free and I’m on 2x2640v2, 8x1TB SSD, 384GB RAM

@sapphire @sjw @ademan Well, if I had that for free I would colo too

@matrix @sjw @ademan next one going up is 2x2690v3, 384GB, 8x8TB HDD
