This is the start of a small series of mail related posts. I will start with nullmailer which is the perfect fit for a small vps that just has to send some emails from time to time. No need for a whole mail server but the need for a sendmail like mail service. Installation: apt-get install...

I used quite a lot of different sizes of vps. But during this year I realized that I don't use 32MB vps any longer. Even 64MB of RAM is not enough to compile something. So this is my list of RAM sizes including their usage: 64MB RAM Only useable if you have swap. I have to stop all services to...

Redis is a lightweight and fast key/value store. I did have a view projects where I needed something like a persistent hashmap with quite a view values. Too much for a text file but at the same time too simple for MySQL. So Redis fills the gap with a small memory footprint key/value database...

Running a public proxy is quite a trouble making decision. Ok it is not as dump as posting your ssh credentials on twitter, but please read the TOS of your provider first. Your hoster does not bite - talk with him/her. Sometimes a restricted proxy can be usefull too. E.g. secure the internet...

I read both polls on WHT and LET. This poll allows multi selection - if you have more than one type of vps you use. And I do want to know why you use your favorite type of vps. But please: No technical lists of advatages - we all know them. I am interested in the purpose of the vps.

We all know the status/looking glass scripts you can add to your vps. It is nice to offer this to visitors but the benefit is quite small because it is a single destination and even if someone wants to start a ping/traceroute from your location he/she has to find it first. So the idea is to...

Looking to the Ruby packages of Redhat, Debian, etc you will see that they are quite old. But you can install quite any version of Ruby (including JRuby, MacRuby, etc) with the help of rvm.io. Another advantage of rvm is that every user installs his own Ruby and his own set of gems. You are also...

I maintain a small list (alphabetical order) of reliable vps providers that are providing small OpenVZ containers for less than 20$ per year. My main usage is having an ip at that location (vpn/proxy/cache/dns). Feel free to add your providers to that list. I will update this post once a week...
