  • I’m still having trouble with it and I’m currently traveling. My analysis so far points to my vps provider being at fault.

    I tried doing long term diagnostics, which effectively pinged through the tunnel every 5s and that make it work constantly and perfectly. So maybe some energy saving sleep stuff, which ends up breaking the tunnel?

    Same but nftables and also crowdsec.

    Also I had some trouble with the wireguard tunnel dropping lots of packets, which resulted in my services not loading 50% of the time. I did a lot of suggestions at the same time so I’m not sure which one fixed it but here is a list in case anybody has similar troubles:

    • lowering MTU
    • routing ipv6 through the tunnel as well
    • rewriting nftables rule order

    (will update after work, notes are at home)



  • The better options do cost twice as much

    Yeah thwre are a lot of better options for lots more money. But I don’t have that kind of money.

    I need lots of RAM for as cheaply as possible while also being low-ish on the power cpnsumption. There is for example old server hardware on ebay that has 64GB or more RAM but draws like 300W idle. And it’s not even that much cheaper to buy. Like I said for me, a 40W difference is about 100$ per year, so anything lower power than my current server will eventually pay for itself.

    I would have gone with amd or intel or whatever, but I didn’t find anything in that price range.



  • I tried selfhosting a game server and it was laggy as hell on 8GB RAM. Then I ran it on my laptop that has 32GB and it ran fine and all friends were able to play. Was consuming aboyt 25GB (but still may run with less)

    But I’m not gonna run my laptop as a server because it is fully glued and I can’t take out the battery without destroying it.

    Another tool I looked into requires at least 16GB RAM.

    So maybe for your usecase it’s fine. But for me, I can’t do half the stuff I want cause my cluster server has low RAM nodes. Even though it has 32GB in total (4x8)
