Digital Ocean is doing core infrastructure maintenance today if you use them and things go haywire in Sidekiq for a bit, #MastoAdmin

They do not expect any impact to customer traffic due to this maintenance but I subscribed to the maintenance ticket for updates because you know how maintenance can go.

Hey tech friends. I'm wondering about alternatives to stripe, specifically to stripe connect for split payouts. Anybody have any opinions about these European alternatives? european-alternatives.eu/alter

I see others like these but many of them have U.S. headquarters. tipalti.com/resources/learn/st

edit/added couple more tags for visibility.

If you're going to choose a cloud hosting provider, please do not use #DigitalOcean Digital Ocean does not pay attention to abuse reports. They do not take offending hosts offline. They allow hosts to continue making intrusion attempts, port scanning, and all kinds of nefarious activities. Fuck Digital Ocean! Use a reputable cloud hosting provider.

Digital Ocean maintenance is currently in progress NYC1. It was supposed to start soon and take 2 hours. If you use DO, I would recommend subscribing to their status. I have found doing so has kept my need to troubleshoot Mastodon failures in Sidekiq down, as well as my aggravation. #DigitalOcean

This scheduled maintenance is going to affect: Cloud Firewall, Kubernetes (NYC1), Managed Databases (NYC1), App Platform (New York), Droplets (NYC1), Load Balancers (NYC1), and Networking (NYC1).

If you've ever wanted your own VPN server for privacy, bug bounty testing, or to change your IP address without relying on overpriced services - I've got a tutorial for you.

In this beginner-friendly walkthrough, I show how to:
🔐 Set up WireGuard on a DigitalOcean VPS
🛠️ Configuration file for both server and client
📶 Enable IP forwarding and firewall on the server
📲 Connect from macOS using a config file or from phone using QR code

The result? A fast, secure, self-hosted VPN — and full control over your traffic.

🎥 Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=p2a7wdvtnwg

Would love to hear if you've used WireGuard before - or what tools you prefer!

NYC1 Network Maintenance on #DigitalOcean

Scheduled for Jun 18, 22:00 UTC - Jun 19, 00:00 UTC

During the above window, our Networking team will be making changes to the core networking infrastructure to improve performance and scalability in the NYC1 region.

Expected impact:

During the maintenance window, users may experience delays or failures with event processing for a brief duration on Droplets and Droplet-based services, including Droplets, Managed Kubernetes, Load Balancers, Container Registry, and App Platform. Additionally, regular requests via the Public API, as well as viewing and submitting requests through the Cloud Control Panel, may time out or fail for up to 5 minutes. We will endeavor to keep this to a minimum for the duration of the change.

I couldn't export my .adi file from Wavelog on my "cheap" DigitalOcean droplet due to OOM errors (it only had 1 GB of RAM), so I went down a mini-rabbit hole and migrated to a new server with 8 GB of RAM for the same price over at Hetzner (I already have an account there for other servers)

I should have done this a while ago, but I didn't realize how little the specs were on my droplet

if anyone runs across any issues accessing my blog, ping me, 🙂

Ordered my first #VPS from Canadian company #FullHost... mindfully comparing it to my current provider #DigitalOcean.

Really pleased with the process & price. Server has double the RAM of a comparable droplet from DO at pretty much the same price. It was up & ready within 10 mins. Provisioning via #RunCloud went off without a hitch.

Met with a potential client who coincidentally mentioned an interest in hosting here in Canada & I was able to mention my new capabilities. 😊
