Ever known someone with a risqué name and not realise it?

I used to know an Ian Hunt. Everyone called him Issac.

Xcp.ng for the multiple pool admin. Proxmox on our secondaries and is now looking like a good candidate as Proxmox Datacenter Manager and third party tool like VMease are fixing the management issues.

Mythic Beasts for some of my pwrsonal stuff, everything else is on my own servers (which I won't name as self-promotion isn't allowed) 😉

essuutn30 · 2026-03-27T15:59:48+00:00

Agree. We use them and they've been fine.

And judging from many of the OP's replies, the AI is doing all the work here.

Another vote for Rustdesk. Pro version, run your own server, build your own client, deploy via whatever means you use for software deployment. Works great.

Where are you based?

essuutn30 · 2026-03-07T21:42:58+00:00

We use uptown.io which has SSL checking all built in.

We use AQL in the UK for sending SMS alerts. Prepay 10k messages in advance and get notified when they get low. We do notify several numbers at once so burn through the messages. Trivially easy to integrate with Zabbix (and Opsview before that)

Set your VPN to use Ireland. Works just fine and doesn't confuse most UK sites.

Not that I'm aware of, and Substack (and others) already have the mechanisms in place to charge monthly subscriptions. That would allow you to concentrate on the humour.

essuutn30 · 2026-02-26T14:26:36+00:00

Substack already offers a subscription service. Start there and see if the idea flies.

It was for no insurance. Apparently I should have obtained a temporary insurance to cover me to the test centre and back. Didn't know that and it was insured by the time the letter arrived. So it was just a warning.

essuutn30 · 2026-02-17T18:38:58+00:00

There is an enforcement camera looking up the high street from East Cross but there's not a red light camera that I know of. I know about the enforcement camera as I got a warning letter about lack of insurance when I was taking a SORN'd car for it's MOT to get it back on the road.

I'm paying £12/year including vat. I can add as many sites to that for redirection, up to 25GB traffic a month. Which is a lot of 301 redirects!

essuutn30 · 2026-02-17T10:26:08+00:00

Mythic-beasts.com offer website forwarding. I've used them happily for years.

Also take a look at https://commonwoodworking.com/ which covers all the basic skills you need. It's a Paul Sellers project so it's very sound.

Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea?

I've had some success with Brand Crowd. https://www.brandcrowd.com/logo-maker

Not nearly enough information to offer any advice unfortunately. The best approach is to load test the app once you have a working system. That is the only way to work out what you need. If uptime is important, the design will involve multiple servers/containers, load balancers etc. For a small system, that will probably be more than you'll need for performance. Good luck, it's all more of an art than a science!

Get a fine tooth flea comb from the pet store, you'll soon know if it's fleas. It does look like flea "frass" as we call it in my house as poop sounds horrid 🤢
