If it is, it’s news to me. I co-owned an education data consultancy (before realizing there was no money in education) that used a .org; we were for-profit.

If you have Python Django or Flask experience, let me know. I’m hiring two positions.

AudiobookShelf does more than audiobooks. You can do epubs, etc.

Big fan of SFTPGo. We use it at work - it’s rock solid and feature rich.

Hmm, that really doesn’t sound like a traffic pattern that would be confused with a DDoS attack. I would be frustrated as hell too.

What’s concerning is that our traffic would look very similar. We have a VPN dedicated droplet that allows access to our DO private network where the rest of our resources can be accessed. We also have high throughput periods though not as sustained as yours.

That’s really unfortunate. I love Digital Ocean and spend about $800/month with them for work.

Can you tell me more about the traffic they are mistakenly flagging as a DDOS? I ask because I have regular DB and file backups happening and if we had traffic shutdown on production assets for 3-4 hours, it would be a big fucking deal.

Humans rarely bite as a defensive option.

Tell that to fucking Kyle from Mrs. Ventura’s second grade class.

Seems like something a donation could fund.

It’s not the percentage total but the speed of increase.

Same, but with Poste.io instead of Mailcow. Zero complaints.

Agreed. Grab a T490S off eBay with an i5, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $225 and you’re all set.

These are great for the money. This one is out of stock, but there are plenty more.

Orange Pi 5 Plus

Not sure about EU sellers or WOP though.

Zimaboard and Zimablade are good too, but I’m not sure if they’re open source. The Zimaboard has PCIE.

youtube-dl is pretty much the gold standard for all things YouTube downloading.

If your server has IPMI, there’s little difference between being there in person and not.

Exactly. I once drove 12 hours to save $6k on shipping. I was there for 45 minutes while four pallets were loaded.

Yeah, I’m curious but not 37 minutes curious.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn’t give me any info.

What’s the benefit of Tor and a VPN? Isn’t a VPN sufficient?

For the uninitiated, as someone who’s looking to move from Windows to Linux and Ubuntu is probably my first choice, can you share what’s not to like about this?

Edit - insightful answers. Thank you
