@i@sam Checksums are worthless in this case if you don't have parity data for recovery (and Postgres doesn't). The only proper way to run a DB from my point of view is either with ZFS and ZIL disabled for the dataset or on an a fast SSD, or on an LVM RAID which is specifically configured to do verification on reads. None of which can easily be done on VMs. Everything else is running on hopes and dreams.
Of course with that you moved the problem to faulty backplanes and cables which will still r/w garbage data unknowingly to the system, but at least you usually still have a way to recover.
@prettygood@fif@anna@mischievoustomato Gajim switched to libcuckwaita, so I get flashbanged by a white theme every time I open that garbage. Genuinely insulting.
@j@dcc@jae@DNutzinski@mint He sold BuyVM in January with almost zero transparency and the service has been going downhill after that. It's currently owned by some guy that runs a GPU renting business in UAE and decided to put ads on BuyVM's website to his own hosting company, if BuyVM is out of stock for that option (it is for almost all of them).
@j@dcc@PurpCat@jae@DNutzinski@mint They have a free fuck your domain card in their TOS. It's worded in a way that the clause applies broadly to everyone including but not limited to them and their services. image.png
@jae@dcc@j@PurpCat@DNutzinski@mint Yeah, I can't be anonymous without breaking ICANN rules which would make them pull domains, so I don't bother on that front.
Also if you read their TOS and activate your lawyerspeak, it is technically prohibited to update your VM to which the domain points to, because updating will make multiple outgoing requests to other servers and that is prohibited in their TOS.
@j@dcc@jae@DNutzinski@mint Porkbun also does that and more frequently. Epik is a total meme and Njalla is ran by Antifa retards from TPB. Choose the least evil one.
@dcc@j@jae@DNutzinski It would change absolutely nothing besides showing you a white page instead of a dark blue page with a pleroma-tan and an error when something goes wrong.
