If you’re happy with Racknerd, they have deals on LEB all the time. Right now, even
As the other user said, they removed support for port forwarding. They are my #1 pick for anyone where that is not a concern.
I have no experience with Windscribe other than that I recall looking into them when I was personally looking to replace Mullvad.
All I can offer is that their pricing is pretty much on par with ProtonVPN, who I have found to be very solid.
Proton also has a free tier, though I’m not sure how well P2P works on it.
Uh… What?
GPU you are converting from 265 to 264 and expecting smaller file sizes, but CPU you are going from 264 to 265?
If compression methods/codecs are equal, the hardware shouldn’t affect compression
You can seed without port forwarding
difficult and/or illegal.
I don’t think using a VPN gets you out of the illegal part, lol.
That was a rephrasing of the statement, not an answer to the question. He’s asking why it matters. What is the “good measure”?
What makes Debian a pain to use on servers?
$10-20 is what that VPS costs at a cloud provider. You could also dockerize and use a container service like GCP Cloud Run combined with cloud storage within that budget.
I’m not a big node guy, but I also kind of doubt nodejs would fail to handle 10RPS on 2gb of memory. I guess it all depends on what the requests are doing.
I can’t find the video, but I remember someone at Ableton said they pretty much had the same view of Live piracy. If someone pirates it, they weren’t willing to spend the money on it, but perhaps they will be willing to in the future.
I personally combine lower end NAS boxes with 4x4 mini PC’s. I like the separation of concerns, as well as the tiny footprint.
Not sure that transmission supports it, but other torrent clients (qbitorrent, deluge) allow binding the torrent client to your VPN interface. That way, you literally can’t torrent on anything but your VPN connection (even if a killswitch fails/the VPN isn’t running)
MySQL (and by extension, MariaDB) has an even better option:
mysql --i-am-a-dummy
I use a VPS from RackNerd for all kinds of things (my personal Lemmy, for one). Have had it for two and a half years or so with no complaints.
Few thoughts:
Would absolutely love to have one. I’ve got a solid connection ready to seed!
I guess I need to refactor for readability. What you just explained is the entire point of the comment I posted. Refactoring is part of the job. Don’t give your manager a choice on whether or not it needs done.
C# is great. VS is fine, but being bolted to Windows is no go for me. Rider all the way.
They are for sure talking about the ARM servers from Oracle. You get 24gb of memory and 4 cpu cores that you can carve into virtual machines.
Issue is that the free stock is very limited, and there have been some claims of people having their free service resources reclaimed by Oracle.
Still, if you can get one, it is probably the best you can get for free.
