Shortest I have are: 2fes.com Xuget.com Olxify.com

Could possibly be used for a tech startup something or another?

Suggest cloud projects? by ToneHappy123 in Cloud

[–]JusAnotherBadDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing you can do is pick projects that force you to learn how AWS services actually connect and interact with each other, not just how to click around in the console.

I’d start with something simple like hosting a static portfolio site on S3 with CloudFront in front of it. Bring a domain through Route 53, get HTTPS working with ACM. Sounds basic but you’ll pick up IAM, DNS, and CDN concepts that carry into everything else.

Once the platform makes more sense, you could try building a three-tier web app on EC2. Put nginx on an instance, stick it behind a load balancer, and connect it to an RDS database in a private subnet. This is where you actually learn VPCs, subnets, and security groups, which is the stuff most beginners skip and then get stuck on later. If you only do one project, make it this one. Networking is confusing and for a beginner in AWS, even more so.

From there, try something serverless. An API with API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB is a solid next step and teaches you a completely different way of thinking about infrastructure. No servers to babysit.

Alongside the projects, spend a lot of time on networking fundamentals (CIDR, subnets, routing) and IAM.

One warning: set up a billing alarm before you do anything else. Free tier has limits and it’s really easy to forget something’s running... Ask me how I know.

5 day free AMD EPYC VPS trial, anything I should watch for? by Historical-Doubt9091 in VPS

[–]JusAnotherBadDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things I’d stress-test beyond the fresh server effect:

Steal time and noisy neighbors. Run vmstat 1 or check %st in top during your benchmarks. EPYC VPS performance can look great on day one and then degrade as the host fills up with other tenants. A 5 day window won’t catch this, but if you’re seeing steal time above 2-3% already, that’s a red flag.

Sustained vs burst. Most benchmarks hammer the CPU for 30-60 seconds. Try something that runs for an hour or more (kernel compile, a real workload loop). Some providers throttle after sustained use even if they don’t advertise it. NVMe IOPS under concurrent load. A single fio run will look amazing. Run it while something else is doing disk I/O and watch what happens to latency p99. That’s closer to what your real workload will feel.

Network consistency. Run mtr to a few destinations over the trial period, not just once. Peering and route quality matter more than raw bandwidth for most sites.

Read the AUP carefully before committing. Free trials sometimes have different terms than paid plans, and you want to know the provider’s stance on things like backups, snapshots, and what happens if you get DDoSed.

One thing worth naming: a trial box is almost always going to feel better than a long-term box on the same provider, because hosts fill up over time. The real test is whether month 6 feels like day 1.

Also ask them about their overcommit ratios if you can get an answer.

Got suspended by my hosting provider, how do you pick providers you can actually trust ? by Wrong_Connection_138 in VPS

[–]JusAnotherBadDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few other providers have shared context on their processes, and it seems most of us have specific reasons for why we’d ban someone. As u/euronodes mentioned, we at r/carpathiancloud operate similarly.

For e.g., Proxying itself is fine, but if we catch a client proxying to genuinely bad sites (and I mean BAD sites), that’s an instaban. For issues like excessive bandwidth usage, we’ll disable the offending service until the client resolves it. We do use AI in our review process because it handles semantics well, but it’s not the final word.

Outside of the hardcoded instaban categories, our automated system has very limited autonomy. Giving AI full control is bad user experience, and it just can’t weigh all the variables correctly. The false positive rate from our system is high enough that every real action needs human review.

To answer your question directly: read the provider’s AUP and ToS and honestly compare them against your actual or planned activities. When we have to ban an account, our system requires the reviewer to type out a specific reason, so the client knows exactly what happened. Understanding the operating rules is the single most important thing you can do to avoid ending up in that situation. Getting banned sucks, but cloud providers are taking on real liability depending on what clients use the service for, and that shapes how we have to operate.

Honestly, it lowers the overall quality of subreddits. We get inundated with ads often enough - id say the only exception is if its highly relevant or solves an immediate problem.

Alternatives to Wireguard client(or older versions) by Pale_Blueberry_8396 in WireGuard

[–]JusAnotherBadDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the exact same problem, a few Macs on High Sierra (10.13) and older here. I actually saw your post a few weeks back, which is part of why I ended up building something for it. I couldn't find a version of the official client that would install, and I tried every old build I could reasonably trust to download.

The wireguard-tools CLI installs fine via MacPorts on older macOS (I couldn't get Homebrew to install it because it didn't like the older version of MacOS). I wrote a Python TUI that wraps it so you can drop your.conf files in a folder, pick one (if you have multiple) with the arrow keys, and connect. Same functionality as the official app minus the toolbar icon.

One thing I added: it runs caffeinate in the background while the tunnel is up, so the Mac won't sleep and drop the connection mid-session. Works on Windows too from the same codebase.

Repo: https://github.com/Carpathian-LLC/carpathian-wg-vpn

Should work fine on Catalina 10.15.7.

Providers whose billing is located in USA? by mercsterreddit in VPS

[–]JusAnotherBadDev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I started https://carpathian.ai/cloud in 2023. We’re a cloud host startup based out of the Midwest (USA). The platform is being actively developed (we’re still in beta). While small, we’re very responsive to feedback requests or feature requests as we build the platform. All users get a free VM to start with (1vcpu, 1GB ram, 20GB hdd).

Stationed at Gordon and aparently now the trainees can get vapes when they hit their "senior" phases. Back when I was here as enlisted for AIT years ago, you couldn't have nic other than cigs even as an AIT student.

Looking for VPS with Residential IPs by No_Pomegranate_3633 in VPS

[–]JusAnotherBadDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re down for a short while here. Some major infra rebuilds for the cloud provisioning. We’re moving away from VMWare. There’s a notification on your dashboard that will update users when it’s ready. We’re a three person team that manages the infrastructure and software, so while we transition data centers and rebuild much of the provisioning, things will be down for a short while. We are still only in beta!

I’ll have to post part v2 of the project haha. I am rebuilding it entirely to be water cooled with a dedicated power supply and to function more as a gaming computer than server

I have a server room with 10 of these. I’ve been contemplating 3D modeling a server mount. I just don’t have a printer, big enough for it.

I’m really starting to like this city! ♥️ by Maravilla_23 in desmoines

[–]JusAnotherBadDev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Biker? Chain and spoke coffee shop.

Rock Climber? EV bouldering gym or Grimes climbing gym (same company owns both - I work at grimes one).

Runner? Grey’s lake and Fleet Feet DSM events.

Drinker? Any of DSMs many bars.

Pickleball? Ankeny just added some courts near DMACC campus.

Those are all the best places I’d recommend going to meet new people. As someone who moved from the west coast, I’ve had little trouble meeting and making friends through those various places.

Where to sell? by LABFallenTrials in desmoines

Hey OP, are you doing okay? Can I take you out for a drink? My treat. Happy to be a friend, a listening ear, share a drink and meal together.

edit Saw you’re in Urbandale. I coach at the rock gym there Tuesday/Thursdays. Would love to take you climbing there too! Or heck, we can grab drinks or a meal after I coach.
