I want to open this discussion to investigate about the usage of VPS!

So, let's start, this specific thread is about the hardware specification:
  • CPU vCore, tell us which is the optimal vcore count for you followed by a explanation (it can be technical or just an approximaiton)
  • RAM, tell us which is the optimal RAM amount for you, general use speaking followed by a explanation (Don't think about a HIGH-END task like huge game servers! For that case-usage the answer is simple: A LOT!)
  • Storage, tell us which is the optimal amount of storage and WHICH technology it should be for a general use followed by a explanation
  • Network Speed, tell us how much the DL link and UP link should be for a general use followed by a explanation
Specification such as geo-location and bandwith/month are not related because it is a business-part not related to the bare hardware!

Please reply to the poll selection which parts matter the most for you! (You can select one or more)

It has been a decade since VLC has been my first choice of multimedia files... From windows xp to windows 10 but also on linux!

The UI has been always the same and right now it is a bit old for the newest system... but don't worry!

VLC has announce a new UI for VLC 4.0.0 and you CAN TEST IT NOW.

Just install the nightly, beta versions!, of the currently on development VLC to get a anticipation of what VLC is going to look!

You can find the latest nightly of VLC here:

Did you read the latest news? No? Don't worry, read my summary!

So... I think everybody knows that right now the hardware market is suffering a huge short availability of the parts. For example, getting a Nvidia RTX 30 series is a nightmare.

Nvidia blames the miner community that is abusing of the market and buying every card to mine.
So what is doing Nvidia to solve the issue? Implementing a secure market where you need to be checked before buying a card? NO!

Nvidia has set a hash limiter to the RTX 3060 to make them less useful for miner and Nividia announced a NEW PRODUCT TOO: NVIDIA CMP CARDS.

What is a CMP card? Well, it is just s RTX 3060 without the hash limiter and without video outputs!

So:
  • There is a low availability of silicon needed to create the cards
  • Nvidia set a hash limiter to consumer RTX 3060, so a normal user can't mine at all (I mean what you gain is not enough to pay off the eletricity fee)
  • Nvidia uses some of the LOW AVAILABILITY SILICON to produce CMP cards and sell them..
Nvidia is greedy as FK because it is using the already low availability silicon to produce cards to sell to miner, lowering the already low production of the consumer cards!

Nothing has been solved for regular customers... nvidia is just expanding is market, offering a proper mining card

Well, let's start this funny discussion about 3D printing.

Right now there are 2 types of 3D printer:
  • 3D printer based on PLA-ABS-OtherStuff, where an extruder melt and place the material
  • 3D printer based on resin, where a LCD screen uses its light to make the resin react on specific zones and so on
Both these types uses a special process called "Slicing" that takes as input a 3D model and outputs a set of instruction to "print" your model layer per layer for the extruder/LCD monitor.

You can 3D print almost everything: mechanical parts (using a polycarbonate), figures, cooking tools, furnitures and so on, there isn't a real limit, just your imagination.

There are a lot of chinese rip-off printers, there is the original Prusa, there are small and large printer. We can say that you can find for sure something suited for your needs.

So, are you going to own a 3D printer?
Do you have any sort of artistic skill to create your own models or are you going to use £D gallery such as Thingverse?

For example, I am only able to create CAD models: I can create mechanical parts or something similar because I have used CAD for some time now. Creating figures is almost impossible for me.

Hello All!

So over the past week I have been working on an app for my business and I finally have it to a point where I can show off the interface mockups. With this project, I really wanted to create a project that showed off my ability with UI/UX design, so I could better market this set of my skillset. This project started off as wireframes and has now progressed to this point of mockups using Adobe XD Prior to moving this project to Xcode to begin taking this from design to SwiftUI.

The goal of this project is integrate the app into my website powered by Wordpress, where using RestAPI, GraphQL and other technologies to integrate posts, user accounts, eCommerce and remote notifications. As this project progresses, I hope to start a fork to integrate TBCMS into this app where when my CMS is completed I can use that system to continue to power and feed data into my app. I would love to hear feedback on this UI design, I tried to use elements from my current web design, so hopefully there is continuity and things translate!

Hello there, Hope everyone is doing good! 

So, I noticed that forum has been a little inactive for a while and even i was inactive for a month, So decided to post this threads. 

If you are hosting or have hosted game servers in past what is or what was the biggest issue you have faced till now.

I would give my side of the story as well

I used to used CSGO Servers in 2018-2019 one was 5v5 and one was Deathmatch, My servers ran really smoothly and had no performance issues at all and i had really strict rules so people always liked my server. Even though after restarting my server usually went full in few seconds. In competition many players opened up their servers and started DDOSING my server like every minute, but it didn't affected my player count at all. I used many measures to block off many attacks but could not do anything for the paid booters they used. I received almost like 15GB/s DDOS every 10 minutes. (Thats what my ISP recorded not sure if thats true) but it could be after looking what booter they were using.) So eventually had to close it down my servers due to DDOS because  it was affecting the ISP alot. 

Did you have face any issues in past i would love to hear your story

Regards,
sAmI

Hello all, a while ago we all got onto the topic of forum software and I fell down a rabbit hole trying to learn more about forum softwares that are free and easily accessible to users within the Post4VPS community. I started down the path of FlaskBB, but some of the dependencies are out of date and no longer working, so I found Flarum. Flarum is an easy to install open source forum software installed through Composer. This is thread is going to be a review and overview of the software, while highlighting some of the features found through extensions. Flarum is a beta software, so there are a few bugs that need to be worked out, but I think for what it is, the software is solid and could be a future platform for Post4VPS or those of you with forums of your own.

The interface:
The interface for Flarum is very sleek and minimalistic, while allowing some great extensions to further customize your forum. The main forum page functions much like a timeline and instead of having individual sub-forums, threads are separated out by tags. Allowing for users to subscribe to specific tags and the back end allows for administrators to easily create new tags and set the rules and restrictions of such tags to have moderator and administrator level permissions. This could be used for "Solved, Closed, or Giveaway" tags.


[Image: home-screenshot.png]

This screenshot is of the default forum interface, with free easy to install extensions you will be able to break this page up into forums and sub-forums. Some other extensions I have found that would give us some of the great features we have come to know on Post4VPS would allow an admin to 1) set up a currency per post and 2) create private discussions, but also some extensions would add support for SSO between Flarum and Wordpress.

Admin Panel:
The admin panel is very intuitive and I learned how to use it quickly. With this software still in beta, there are items that still could be worked on, such as the theme customization and some of the admin tools like creating tags (categories) and some of the moderation tools could be implemented in the backend, but it is not horrible all in all. Extensions are installed in SSH using composer so that takes out some of the guess work and everything is neatly organized into categories such as features, themes and other extensions. With this being built on Composer and Laravel everything is minimized and super speedy which is a great feature.

Final thoughts:
Out of the box, this is not a total replacement for MyBB and some of the other forum software, as you need to add in quite a bit of the extensions to get things to a manageable state, but it took me about 4 hours to full get the forum setup in a development state where I could play and test the software. As this platform continues to be developed, I could see it being a big contender in the forum software market especially as more and more developers begin creating for Flarum. I am going to continue to play with this as I am taking about making my CMS in Composer, so this is a great test to see how something like this could work if I change my development path, as my goal is to create something lightweight and easily deployable.

If you are interested in learning more please feel free to comment and I will make sure to answer what questions I can.

Short Introduction

I got VPS 13 at 61st giveaway in October. This VPS provider is Limitless Hosting (https://limitlesshost.net) that's why I give it a try to grab a VPS from Limitless Hosting. And I got it! I have used the VPS for 4 months and it's going pretty well. This VPS located in Finland, Europe. While using it I never get any kind of really massive lag, all perfectly runs well.

Specifications and Benchmark

Benchmark below is using @sohamb03 script.
Specs
Quote:System Info
-----------
Processor       : AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
CPU Cores       : 2 @ 3593.248 MHz
Memory          : 1987 MiB
Swap            : 1987 MiB
Uptime          : 20 days, 18:37
OS              : Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Arch            : x86_64 (64 Bit)
Kernel          : 5.4.0-60-generic
Hostname        : Censored Tongue

This VPS uses AMD Ryzen processor. I really don't see providers use AMD Ryzen in their VPS. They usually use Intel Xeon instead. This is new and pretty interesting to see how it works.

Internet Speed
Quote:Speedtest (IPv4 only)
---------------------
Your public IPv4 is hehe Tongue

Location                Provider        Speed
--------                --------        -----
CDN                     Cachefly        108MB/s
Atlanta, GA, US          @sohamb03      14.3MB/s
Dallas, TX, US          Softlayer       5.13MB/s
San Jose, CA, US        Softlayer       5.13MB/s
Washington, DC, US      Leaseweb        4.51MB/s
Sao Paulo, Brazil       Softlayer       4.38MB/s
Singapore               Softlayer       4.68MB/s
Taiwan                  Hinet           2.57MB/s
Tokyo, Japan            Linode          2.05MB/s
Nuremberg, Germany      Hetzner         12.8MB/s
Rotterdam, Netherlands  id3.net         10.3MB/s
Haarlem, Netherlands    Leaseweb        10.6MB/s
Milan, Italy            Softlayer       15.9MB/s
Sydney, AU              Future Hosting  228KB/s

Well, I cannot complain about their internet speed. Not so fantastic but enough for me. For the one from Future Hosting, it probably their server instead of this VPS connection. When using this VPS, I, which located near Singapore, can quickly load my website without Cloudflare at ~1 second on the first time visit.

Disk Speed

Quote:Buffered Sequential Write Speed 
-------------------------------
I/O (1st run)   : 604 MB/s
I/O (2nd run)   : 866 MB/s
I/O (3rd run)   : 868 MB/s
Average I/O     : 779.333 MB/s

Disk speed is beyond expectation. I cannot complain this kind of speed. Based on Limitless Hosting's VPS plan, the VPS is equipped with NVME SSD which is the fastest disk drive (AFAIK).


Benchmark below is using bench.monster script (thanks to @Lampard for providing this script).

CPU Benchmark

Quote:Geekbench v4 CPU Benchmark:

  Single Core : 5490  (EXCELLENT)
   Multi Core : 9567

I'm not a computer geek that know what score is high but since it says excellent then it's excellent Tongue.

IO Speed
Quote: IO Test

 CPU Speed:
    bzip2     : 135 MB/s
   sha256     : 266 MB/s
   md5sum     : 600 MB/s

 RAM Speed:
   Avg. write : 3140.3 MB/s
   Avg. read  : 8021.3 MB/s

 Disk Speed:
   1st run    : 377 MB/s
   2nd run    : 868 MB/s
   3rd run    : 881 MB/s
   -----------------------
   Average    : 708.7 MB/s

RAM speed is very awesome! Disk speed somehow at 1st run it always run "slow" then on 2nd and 3rd run it's in its maximum speed. Probably need to "start the machine" first?

Another Speedtest!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upload speed is awesome in many location but download speed is a little bit questionable. I prefer faster upload speed than download since it's a server tho. We're serving not consuming data. Therefore will need more speed in upload instead.

Checkout another benchmark (that I don't know what it is) here: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/16044438

My Experience with VPS 13

In short, it's an awesome VPS.

I got this VPS back in October 2020. Four months have passed with more than 80 posts posted to keep this VPS alive. When I decide to get this VPS, my plan is to have a working website and can run my Discord bot. So then I think, "Hmm ..., VPS with 2GB RAM should be enough. This VPS 13 met that requirement and have a control panel."

Turns out, I also need a mail server. Yandex Mail doesn't work as expected that all of my email marked as spam by their system. That's sucks.
I really need a working mail server since my website should send mail to the user daily. Well some sort like a notification if they have miss something.

When I got the VPS, I reinstalled the OS because I want to start from scratch. The panel is intuitive, just like another Virtualizator panel. It's easy to use for a person with SolusVM experience before. The reinstalling phase is also easier but doesn't give so much room for configuration during installation since Virtualizator control all of them, and it's a KVM not a Xen HVM. Not a big deal! I can leave the VPS for another work while it's working on it.

After installation done, I decide to try for VestaCP alternative but all of them are suck (or I am the one that don't understand? HAHA). So then I reinstall the OS again and install Cyberpanel instead. All work very smoothly without error. I haven't reinstall the OS since that time.

Remember about the mail server I talked before? I installed them with help of Cyberpanel. The panel install it without issue when I request the panel to do so. Then I configured my DNS to match the record by Cyberpanel and now it's working.
One thing to done about this mail server is none of the receivers' mail server complain the mail received is a spam (not like Yandex before). AFAIK this only can happen if the sender's server IP address is green and high reputation. It's like from D+7 I got this VPS and the IP is already have high reputation.

What does this high reputation means then?
It means that Limitless Hosting really take care their business carefully and keep their IP address and business clear from hacker or something like that. I highly recommend this company.

What's next?
Limitless Hosting currently only have VPS that is located in the Europe. If they have one in Singapore or Australia, I might pick one and move to them as a paid user instead.

I hope someday Limitless Hosting will cover more location and be bigger than what they're right now. We also know that the owner of Limitless Hosting is the expert in this field (probably that's why it's already have high reputation when I got this VPS).

Conclusion

Well, I think I need to conclude anything here. As you read the review, you already know that the VPS is fast and the provider is fantastic. It's worth it to be paid users of Limitless Hosting. I may be one when they start provide Singapore or Australia location.

If you're interested to grab one, checkout their plan here. You can start now Big Grin
