Day started from me seeing that my website, services, Nekoweb and everything else was down. Apparently Contabo was having some issues in their datacenter, and I think this was the last stretch for me. While my VPS was usually fine and rarely had any issues, Nekoweb’s one constantly gets random freezes from time to time, and Nekoweb being down for 10 hours is just unacceptable.
I was meaning to do it for a long time, and this has finally made me get an actual dedicated server for Nekoweb. I browse Hetzner auction very often, but it seems to keep having same-ish servers with not very good specs, at the minimal range of price.
So I’ve decided to look for more expensive options, and found a pretty good server for it’s price. Quite modern CPU (2019), 6x2 TB of storage, 64 GB of RAM.
As I was ordering it, something unbelievable happened! Price of the server changed in my eyes, and now it had the minimal price. I was checking the auction (it’s Dutch style) quite often throughout the months, and I’ve never seen server this good to be sold at this price, so I hurried and ordered it. Now I have this server for same price as all other, much worse servers. I plan to move all my sites and services to it, not just Nekoweb, since it has more than enough specs for everything.
This is so beautiful, I’ve never seen htop so big…
I then installed Ubuntu on the server. And then realized I need to get RAID1, so installed it again with RAID1. And then realized I did it with wrong partitions, so installed it again…
RAID1 sync is taking a very long time, so I can’t really do anything with server while it’s going, since it’s just too slow.
In mean time, my brother visited me, and we talked about what’s going on in our life. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Played more Yume 2kki with friends. Got all of the effects now, so I’m finally truly free to explore the world. At the end I have rested in my favorite place so far - Sewers.
It’s my element.
