MyselfWelp, just in time, my ISP has rolled out data caps. I just logged in to look at my past months' usage and it's..... definitely gonna be a better idea for me to move to a business-class plan. (Slightly lower provisioned speed, but no caps, and apparently it's explicitly OK for me to have low ports open, which is neat.)
-
pabsany other ISPs nearby?

Myselfjust $downright_evil and $devil_himself

MyselfBut this got me thinking, I understand many AT folks use datacenter servers to do their... activities. But some of us are on home pipes. Which are suited to completely different workloads, totally different balance of bandwidth vs storage.
-
MyselfIs this difference meaningful?
-
pabsdepending on what is being archived, probably some websites might block non-home IPs
-
Myselfoh I wonder if there's a reachability benchmark I should do before switching to business-class, or if that's all the same versus datacenter
-
KazReally depends on the project, the only real benefit to being in a DC is that you're gonna have more hardware there (unless you've got some silly insane homelab and some mad connection at home)
-
rewbyKaz: What if both? ;)
-
rewbySeriously though, DC kit is useful in many situations. Usually in one of two ways: Either you have some big kit with some fat pipes. Or you can scale to the moon on cloud
-
Kazwell indeed
-
rewbyBut DC IP space is likely to get content blocked sometimes
-
rewbySome of us have our own ip space which we use to archive from. When you "own" the ip space you can often get around such blocks.
-
rewbyIt's all got its pros and cons

AKAny grafana wizards know how to get the $interval variable to display in the dropdown? Not matter what I try I can't seem to get it to appear

AKScratch that, works now

OrIdow6In case people were getting relaxed after Y2K
-
OrIdow6Really, it's roughly halfway between 2000 and 2038

OrIdow6Obviously not as big, though
