| cprofitt | anyone have experience with openshells for a shell account? | 20:07 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | i used freeshell.de | 20:19 |
| Unit193 | cprofitt: You asking in terms of then fielding abuse reports? | 20:20 |
| cprofitt | anything like that yes... I am debating using them for a shell account vs. vps. | 20:23 |
| holstein | i have a digital ocean droplet.. its $5 US/month.. | 20:24 |
| holstein | thats what i use now, instead of a shell account.. though, it is nice to have someone else maintaining it.. | 20:24 |
| * cprofitt nods | 20:26 | |
| cprofitt | the other option is digital ocean | 20:26 |
| cprofitt | all it is for is running irssi outside of my personal network | 20:27 |
| holstein | well, one of many options.. just depends on what meets the need | 20:27 |
| * cprofitt nods | 20:27 | |
| cprofitt | so you like digitalocean? | 20:27 |
| holstein | works as advertised.. i dont need it for irssi running in screen.. freeshell.de was just fine for that, and for free | 20:28 |
| holstein | nothing wrong with digital ocean.. if you need more, and more control.. etc | 20:28 |
| * cprofitt nods | 20:29 | |
| cprofitt | I might start with a free shell account then and move over to DO when ready | 20:29 |
| holstein | personally, if i were going to pay *anything* for a shell account, i would just get a DO droplet | 20:29 |
| Unit193 | In theory more secure. Speaking of secure you may want to ident to services. | 20:29 |
| Unit193 | https://freenode.net/sasl/sasl-irssi.shtml | 20:30 |
| Unit193 | Thanks. ;) | 20:31 |
| Unit193 | Also, the version and packages are totally up to you with a VPS. | 20:31 |
| holstein | more control.. though, it was nice to just have freeshell taking care of that.. though, im assuming its "up to date".. | 20:32 |
| Unit193 | My Irssi is v0.8.17 plus the splitline commit. | 20:33 |
| * cprofitt nods | 20:33 | |
| cprofitt | yes, controlling the version would be nice. | 20:33 |
| hggdh | if it helps any, Digital Ocean is -- as holstein points out -- quite cheap. I have been using it for IRC almost since they started. | 21:06 |
| hggdh | maintaining the kernel is a bit more involved, they do not update as fast as we put kernels out. And, as in most other places you really want to run fail2ban. | 21:08 |
| * cprofitt nods to hggdh | 21:58 | |
| * hggdh nods back to cprofitt | 21:59 | |
