Way slower than what <a href="https://skhron.eu">skhron</a> says it + should be on their site so clearly something was up. I noticed when pinging + <a href="https://example.com">example.com</a> the first ping took a while + but after that it was fine compared to pinging its IP address which was + pretty much instant so clearly the DNS server was shit. While doing this I + had the VPS dashboard open and saw DNS server settings which I assumed + (assuming things often lead to bad outcomes) would change something on the + DHCP server. After that I noticed the network on the VPS go completely + down. Only way I could get in was with VNC and from the server I couldn't + ping anything not even IP addresses. After changing back to the default DNS + the issue continued. Turned out there is no DHCP the VPS server just + configures everything statically with some scripts and it messed up. I use + freebsd which wasn't well tested by whoever made that system so it nuked + itself. + <br /><br /> + Even after turning on manual mode and setting up the networking by + hand it was still fucked. The only thing I backed up was my git repos. All + the configs (some of them a pain in the ass to make) were stuck on there + without any way to get them off except painfully hand copy with the 80 + column VNC display. Linux live environments don't support zfs and the + drivers to make that happen require rebooting which live environments reset + on boot. Uploading freebsd live images to the VPS would be painful due to + the stuppa way it handles them. + <br /><br /> + Because I didn't want to go through any of those things I contacted tech + support (I hate contacting those types of places). Most places have an + under powered LLM running the show, people who have good writing/talking + skills but have computer skills limited to using word processors and web + browsers, over worked intern who has million other things on their + mind... Skhron turned out to be one of the rare gems that has tech support + that not only knows what they are doing but also has the time/will to do + so. The tech support person actually took the time to recreate the issue on + another freebsd instance while most tech support people by now would have + sent a copy pasted corporate answer that translates to "go fuck + yourself". After a few hours they sent a manual route config which fixed it + and they also said to configure DNS from <code>/etc/resolv.conf</code> + instead. + </p> + + <h2>What was learned</h2> + <p> + Less so when using more popular operating systems on a VPS but do be + careful with dashboard settings that might be changing things in the + operating system itself instead of on the network and VM. If you can + preform a task from a config file that is often the safer choice because + you don't know what the fuck the VPS dashboard is doing behind the + scenes. Also anything you don't want to loose make backups of because even + if you do everything right things will still fuck up! If this issue wasn't + fixed a fresh install would have been the only other option. If up time is + important for you then automatic backups and full backups are a must + have. Regardless keep an offline backup of important things on your own + hard drive. + </p> +</article> diff --git a/org/computing.org b/org/computing.org index 2743dd8..cd5806b 100644 --- a/org/computing.org +++ b/org/computing.org @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ somewhere.
