Which part? It doesn't solve any. You can do the VPN without it. Unless there is a completely separate need not mentioned, it doesn't do anything. If I was doing this in any business I knew, adding or removing the Pi would not impact anything after it is working.

Okay you caught me, I love the Pi, thus I force it around on others. That said i still think it will fix any issues.

@scottalanmiller
My company has 40-50 sites on it... talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. But its amazing honestly if you exclude those 2 down times.

@scottalanmiller

True, but how many VPN clients out there that can be installed on it. A lot thus problem solved. I didn't use Google print, but maybe him using dedicated hardware for this task will solve it.

@elegast

I am sure a dedicated Pi can be used for this. If you have the time and good CUPS driver

2nd time this month, and outages and weird IP after fix...

I know it is free service but still

I dont think there is any true alternative other than CDN

@manxam said in Ontario, Toronto roommate opportunity:

An hour total via Zum & TTC to Yonge/Finch.
With that said, I still think downtown Toronto is the wrong place for your type of work.

Maybe I will pick up prostitution at night if the IT thing didnt work ...

Woodbridge

Hi,

Luckily I will be working remotely in my current job for 3-6 months while I am in Canada + do job hunting, afterward, I will move out and live next of my future good job.

That is the plan. simple with plenty of false hopes and assumptions.

Google maps are telling I need 2 hours commute from Woodbridge to downtown Toronto, and I assume that all the work is in the downtown area or close by.

Regardless in the first few months I just need room + good internet. So I will consider your option of course.

Hi,

I am checking all the normal sites, but I thought why not post here as well.

If you have a spare room (extra points if it also has a separate bathroom) or furnished basement + and preferably good internet cause I will need to work remotely + close to buses/subway.

And want some extra cash, chat/DM me for the lovely chance to have me living with you:

I like to curse a lot but not in a language you will understand.
I will be out most of the time, not from the house but out of my mind
I tend to look down on others and treat them like a secondary NPC and I'm the main character (dont we all)

@Curtis

Pipe the cron job to a log file. Are you using Fedora ? (i noticed weird stuff in it with crontab)

Actually he makes sense to me, if you have website that is generating good revenue you should spend on SSL

Yeah I don't agree with that. The "warranties" that you get are literally useless and it's not possible to automate them. There is literally no upside to paying for one, even EV certs.

Let's not forget that the TLS certs are not for ensuring it is a safe site. It's just a way to have an encrypted channel.

What about being Unique, or unlike the rest, wont that increase security. Like changing a port of SSH, the same method your not using a service that all the rest are using like Lets Encrypt, Thus by theory more secure.

@IRJ said in Blue light glasses:

Do any of you guys wear blue light blocking glasses? If so what do you think about them?

I have 2, one at home and one at office.

Sure you can control your workstation but not others, I feel after getting used to them they make work longer periods of time and reduce eye fatigue, I no longer can stand 65K blue monitor or meeting room TV, some of those monitors are ridiculous bright so I wear them to reduce that. I also use them with
redshift + flux software solutions.

UpCloud

Vultr new service is killing everyone, I just wait for it to be available in other regions. Called high freq VMs

@JaredBusch

Love it, the latency and recording and output file are amazing, small size, great quality.

@scottalanmiller said in Another VPS Kid on the block upcloud.com:

And if you did LXC instead of KVM, it reduces RAM needs significantly. Because the kernel RAM is shared rather than repeated.

I'm learning a lot about LXD , and preparing video screen guide for ML

@Emad-R

Plain KVM is so mature and everywhere I am starting to think we should all huddle up and create our own VPS service. I think between all ML we have around 500 VMs or so

@mroth911 said in Redundant internet Connections for Servers:

Hey guys, I have cable internet with 29 static ips. I have frontier intenrnet that I want use if my main internet goes down. I am trying to figure out how I can hook this up to my current setup with switches and routers and servers.

I have a scale cluster and an ovirt cluster. I have 3 switches, On for my scale clusters, one from my internal network for the business and one for my public address.

Any thoughts Networking is not my strong suit at all.

Wont commerical firewall gives you this feature, you can pick up a cheap Fortigate device for 300$ and get Software-defined WAN, this way you can plug 2 ISPs on the firewall and if one goes down the other will pick up. You can do this with VM firewalls however it is too complex for me and will tie your firewall with your Virtualization platform.
