Mit dem Umzug von #Hosteurope zu #Contabo habe ich von #spamassassin zu #rspamd gewechselt ... Das funktioniert für mich ganz hervorragend und besser als vorher. Ich habe allerdings vorher ebenso wenig "tuning" betrieben, wie jetzt.

After six years only using #Contabo, I am looking for other #VPS #hosting options. I do not feel they are particularly reliable any more (maybe they have never been), and I would prefer to go for a provider with a good track record.
I have looked at websites comparing other hosting options, but of course everything is super chaotic and flashy and aaaargh
I trust folks here for advice on affordable, reliable, trustworthy European providers. I would like to add cooperative and sustainable too, but they all seem to be way more expensive and I am afraid I cannot afford them right now.
Because I am a student, I have emailed some more “progressive” hosting providers asking for discounts, but I feel a bit bad doing that.

Ich habe mir bei #contabo einen virtuellen server aufgesetzt. Leider wird der Versand von Email durch #proofpoint blockiert. So habe ich mir vor einem Monat eine weitere IP-Adresse dazu gebucht, mit der der Versand nun klappt. Die alte IP-Adresse wird nach wie vor blockiert ... , obwohl da nachweislich NIX drüber versendet wird. Mails bleiben natürlich unbeantwortet, tickets werden auch nicht bearbeitet.

Contabo Support & Culture Post on Fediverse: pleroma.envs.net/notice/B4YKf... #Contabo #VPS #hosting #support #networking #DHCP

Contabo Support & Culture - The technical failure itself is secondary to the organizational failure handling it. Contabo’s support culture demonstrates a fundamental misalignment of incentives.
Optimizing for Metrics Over Solutions: The primary objective of the support tier appears to be closing tickets as quickly as possible, using any available justification, rather than genuinely resolving the customer’s problem.
Blame Shifting: There is a clear tendency to attribute faults to the customer or incorrect settings rather than investigating potential anomalies in the underlying virtualization or infrastructure layer.
Absence of Root Cause Analysis: Because the support team applied a static configuration workaround and immediately closed the ticket, the actual root cause of the disappearing DHCP configuration was never identified.
Perpetual Vulnerability: When root causes are ignored in favor of quick patches, the underlying infrastructure bugs remain. This guarantees that the exact same issue will occur again, leading to an endless cycle of new tickets.

Today I realized that my Linux Contabo VPS has a built-in script in `/etc/cron.hourly` that drops the cache every hour. I found it when I checked dmesg; there are so many "drop_caches: 1" lines.
I guess the memory is not dedicated, but shared via KVM memory ballooning.
It seems Contabo tries so hard to reclaim physical memory from its customers by dropping page caches every hour. I feel like Contabo is somewhat notorious for aggressive overprovisioning.
I will delete the `free` script.

#Contabo leaving cloud-init files with cleartext passwords and admin credentials on a production server is a massive security failure. Coupled with sloppy artifacts like c:\etc\motd - pleroma.envs.net/notice/B1lwm... - #security #privacy #vps #sysadmin

Critical Security Oversight in Contabo Provisioning Attention
#Sysadmin and #InfoSec community: I have observed a significant security flaw in Contabo’s server provisioning process.
Post-deployment, the cloud-init configuration files are left persistent on the disk. These files contain sensitive networking information and, critically, the administrator credentials in cleartext.
Furthermore, the provisioning script appears to generate anomalous artifacts, such as writing an MOTD file to
c:\etc\motd, indicating a lack of quality assurance in their image creation.If you are using Contabo, I strongly recommend rotating your credentials immediately and purging these residual provisioning files.
