Time for the update: No downtime - network still offers a lot of bandwith and the vps is still snappy too.

I was thinking about that too. But there is a reason providers have looking glass pages. The routing and the available bandwith depends on the destination network. I can have a 3Mbits to the UK but only 0.5Mbits to Finnland. You have to test for yourself to know if the location is ok for you...

That would be possible. Proxy way Use ssh to create socks proxy and use a load balancer to cast your request to the different proxies.   sshuttle way Run more than one instance of sshuttle and define the target block. This creates a transparent proxy server on your local machine for all...

And another great web comic: Ava's Demon.

Yup - was writing a Ticket for Ransom IT and mixed names.

Provider: Host Mist Plan: OpenVZ 128mb VPS Price: $3.5 per month Location: Atlanta, Georgia Purchased: 02/2014 This is one of the reviews that are sponsored by vpsboard. I will update each review every two months and will add notes on what happend during this time. MannDude is funding the...

Second that. I had a feeling that some vps providers get into troubles this year ... but Burst.net?

Sneak Preview of my next Arduino project. This project is about a solar powered Arudino which is controlled via Bluetooth. First step is a OLED display that can be controlled with a basic serial communication protocol. I will add some LEDs, a realtime clock (battery buffered), etc, later...

I have an extra disk holding all pictures I ever made - synced to my NAS. I have a folder for each year and one subfolder for each month. Beyond that are camera name, dates and event names. /2014/March/2014-03-20-olympus-irish-pub I often just remember the camera model and the start/mid/end...

What a joke - a move to North Carolina is not an upgrade at all.

Did not know that Olimex is building such nice peaces of hardware. I know them for their AVR and MSP430 line. Heck yet another plattform to play with.

If someone is running FreeBSD on his laptop this command is the easiest way to check the battery status: sysctl hw.acpi.battery Output: hw.acpi.battery.life: 100 hw.acpi.battery.time: -1 hw.acpi.battery.state: 0 hw.acpi.battery.units: 1 hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5 Quite easy to parse...

Well it is altering ssh, so you can check it quite easy: ssh -G 2>&1 | grep -e illegal -e unknown > /dev/null && echo "Nothing found" || echo "Found ebury!" If you are interested into this topic read this study.

It doesn't like me :(

A small one about sysstat:

If a service is running not as snappy as it should I use the sysstat tools to check the current load of my vps. They collect usage statistics for CPU, memory, network, block devices, etc. Installation is easy: apt-get install sysstat The package itself does contain three main components: -...

I did not want to get any additional publicity on that topic. So no graphs and downtime numbering until that crap stopped.

Not another time waster... But a really good one :D

Time for an update: Nothing happend. Network is solid but things like gem update or apt-get upgrade need more time than usual. It just does not feel as snappy as usual during the last weeks.

Time for an update: Nothing happend at all.
