I have noticed different distributions have different boot times? I remember arch being a lot faster than Ubuntu.
(Maybe due to choosing to have everything included and enabled by default, or more bare bones distributions).
So I have often seen the question who is good in the rain, but never seem the question: which driver is bad in the rain? Are there drivers known for shitting their pants when there's wetness?
I'm renting hardware, so if it breaks I probably get the same hardware (and I am assuming backups will be on me).
Yeah that is a valid consideration. It will cost me at least several days to find replacement hardware.
And having a single open port in my firewall won't do much. I'm trying to think of a scenario that is not secure. If the Minecraft service itself is hacked, then tailscale or Cloudflare tunnels won't help me, because they will probably gain the same access rights as the user that I created for the server.
Or am I missing something?
Weird TCP packets ? I probably receive those already, server or not.
For a VPS it is expensive, but this is dedicated hardware.
A Minecraft server needs a decent CPU (not many cores) and is memory hungry, so a minimum of 16GB.
Needs decent ping all over the world.
Because of the last requirement I considered ovhcloud and hetzner and this one is still relatively cheap?
Is that true? Every error in Linux is logged, configurations are readable.
For me, I'm very tech savvy, clicking around in GUIs hoping to find something, spelunking in event manager trying to find an error, is so much harder than in Linux.
This is very personal, I know. How do you debug and fix issues in Windows again? :-) It has been a while.
It's always infuriating that the git repo is full of documentation but I cannot find an answer to the question: What Is It Exactly?
