• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file.

• Upload speed discrepancy - Speedtest vs. real world

  I also have my own Virtual Private Server (VPS), hosted on atlantic.net. Running iperf3 to/from my VPS I see similar results to these latter ones, but also the upload tests shows a large number of retries. Here is one random example:. Source: about 1 year ago

• Good alternative to Oracle's Always Free tier?

  Hands down, atlantic.net free instance and block storage for a year. Don't let the basic site and ui confuse you - I have called over six times at random hours and always get someone on the phone in under a minute and they help. I mean they really help and instantly. Source: about 2 years ago
