Please don’t squat, you might “win” in the short run but you will get charges sooner or later.
Instead seek local organizations and churches who might be able to point you in the right directions and/or provide you assistance.
And in place of panhandling for cash (if it allowed), you might get better luck if you simply ask for donation(s) for what you are needing (i.e. food instead of money to get said food). To me it’s more understanding if a person on the streets ask for some bread than if they looking for $3 to get a loaf.
Awww you are very welcome! Thanks for your appreciation in me as well. :)
LunaNode might be cheap to run them. I am not sure on their demands but they have general and memory intensive instances.
It’s honestly USUALLY not that difficult to dedicate sufficient time to prune a community here as needed within reasons. Beside a well moderated community is less likely to be spammed in the long run considering it will be less efforts than it’s worth.
Problems USUALLY arises because there’s a lack of moderation, not because new users should be pulled back or from being signed up. This is more evident in game servers and believe me I can tell them apart what’s a well oiled game server from one that isn’t. Same goes for online communities.
I disagrees with that, “throttling” postings is dumb. Just moderate your communities more closely if you don’t likes’ the contents.
That’s understandable to me now, thank you very much for explaining all of this to me so I am able to becomes aware and able to understand everything now. :)
Your really funny LOL! :)
I am sorry but I am lost on what you means. I gotten a $30 5.25" Dual Hot Swappable 2.5" bays which each of the drives connected through the SATA interface (you plug the respected SATA cables in each bays’ end and the drives connections are literally “clicks into place”).
So I thought if the drives are on standby “hence I assume are therefore not spinning up/down” then I thought it safe to pulls them out. Since I thought they would not be doing anything if they are simply on standby.
Interesting so that could be ran after the failing device been removed? Additionally interesting cause I always yanked the drives out when Linux Mint says they are put on standby (sleeping). Or I do that manually then I would pull them out.
I can’t find anything that says LVM Mirroring (RAID1) will do this as automatically or whatever.
Logically I would take out the drive on the way out, redo the LVM on the new disk and then add it to the VG. BUT I am not quite sure if I am missing some steps to avoid “a bricked array”.
But that is WHY they are filtering VPNs to be honest. Because as I been saying it just not worth it to keep VPN users online when the BULK of the spammers are using the same.
Even when you go out and buy something you probably gonna be asked to turn off your VPN or your order won’t be processed/requires additional steps. I know majority of hosting providers do at least.
Precisely I don’t think (as of now anyways) there a mean to “filters” VPN users effectively or otherwise general spam and such than to “cut the entire line off”.
Take the Wasp and Hornet spray that we had to apply on our porch. It is depressing that a bee had to die? Absolutely but we had to spray or else we would be “spammed” by wasps and hornets that could damage our rental.
Sometimes you have to take the “nuclear option” until more targeted solutions can be developed.
You still need to considers the costs of accepting said users though, even if you don’t likes it being done in such manners.
Just think of anti-fraud measures which denying VPNs are apart of. If you are a small firm and you need to protect your business aren’t you inclined to do the same exact measures and tell your FraudLabsPro to ignore/caution against VPN orders?
Whens it comes to VPNs, there is just TOO MUCH risks involved with VPN users to allow openly for larger applications and businesses. Compared to “ordinary users” due to the privacy nature of VPNs.
As I said before, if it would take 10x the amount of resources to let a legitimate user “in” compared to a “normal” user then why shall a business expel 10x the resources to let that happen for the FEW legitimate VPN users in comparison?
This isn’t news, any major platforms and even commercialized businesses will block/limits VPNs. They just not worth the risks associated with them. And as businesses there are not worth the “risks” to “capture leads from” which I agrees in a business sense.
After all if you gotta deal with say 1,000 spammers why let that 1 “legit guy” be allowed? If the usual loads is non VPNed spammers 100 per legit non VPN user 1 for instance?
Thanks you for the confirmation on that, well as soon as PCLiqulidations hopefully get back to me to the inquiry I sent. I might be able to get one of their refurbs. Hopefully before it actually does dies. But I sent them the email so I can confirm they can indeed do somethign for me and what they charge for shipping.
ServerMonkey for example was out of their minds for charging $14.95 shipping on a $20 2.5" disk. Since they charge shipping by the flipping LB, not by the actual item’s weight.
I am very glad to see and no worries, thanks for bringing this to my attention so I was able to provide this additional information in case somebody can more possibly inform me if this something to continue worrying about or not.
As for data backup, this array is to holds them from my cloud Backup VM and anything else that is too large for me keep on my 60GB SSD for proper backing up to my external USB HDD for my personal data. So the “bulky” data are backed up at least twice (Backup VM and the HDD array) WHILE the REALLY important stuffs (like updateish password manager data and such) are backed up to the external in addition to the HDD array (personal data doesn’t goes to the Cloud Backup VM).
Thank you very much, I ran the tool and it gave me Pass completed, 9 bad blocks found. (9/0/0 errors) It’s updated SMART now says OK, 16 Bad Sectors and it’s detailed output is as follows…
I wouldn’t even let me run the long test so I am scrambling for options ideally before the LVM array degrades and if nothing else before the array dies completely. But I am not sure who to buy refubs from if PCLiquations doesn’t get back to me on them and ships them at a reasonable shipping fee for ~$20 devices.
Microcenter doesn’t even have any 7200RPM refub drives in stock even…
