I don't see a complete BinkD log dump posted like I did... am seeing just one page that says an average of "1,945 over 7 days". My log is detailed with around 3000 inbound connections in one day since there was a possibility that the next reply from that person could have been "Anyone can fake stats".
I wonder if I should run one even tho I do have a static - then even the onc in a blue moon that Xfinity does feck w/ my IP everything would remain working??? I gotta check into that.
This made me chuckle..
And you quoted it incorrectly. It says "In the last 7 days, on average daily:". These numbers are based on connections that make it through to the mailer. There are 1600ish daily that dont make it through.
Does that help you?
I wonder if I should run one even tho I do have a static - then even the once in a blue moon that Xfinity does feck w/ my IP everything would remain working??? I gotta check into that.
So... you know how ppl w/o static IPs use those various tools that update n matter when their IPs change - like... I think ddns.net, etc??

Xfinity FECKED me today - changed my 5 year static IP to something new, screwing up ALL my public facing projects...
Is/was it an actual STATIC IP that you pay specifically for? Otherwise,
it could just be a dynamic IP that rarely ever changes, unless the hardware does.
I think you're near the Portland, OR area? If so, maybe look into Ziply Fiber. I think their service has been pretty good, although a while ago
I heard they were basically acquired by Bell Canada, and since then
there have been some weird billing stuff.. But otherwise I've been
happy with them, and their internet service has been very good. One advantage of fiber is that you get the same speed for both download and upload, which is a benefit if you're running servers (which I know you are, for your BBS & such).
If your "inside" network is consistent and static, but your "outside" network is dynamic, then anybody else who has (direct) access to your "inside" network are not affected by "outside" forces :)
Hopefully too you can reduce the blast radius when an outside event happens...
Sorry to politely disagree, but find this to sound exaggerated. And perhaps if you want to avoid problems you should consider paying for an enterprise-grade ISP with an SLA and not have these amateur-hour
problems. Surely you can afford a dedicated circuit with all the donations you claim to receive?
I run nearly an identical setup with Windows servers and domain controllers, never once had any DNS or public-facing changes taking any longer than a few minutes. Wasn't a blip on anyones radar, and this runs
a Fidonet zone with hundreds of connections per day. Nobody cares and I do not care if they did.

Why not check into getting a contract with a business-grade ISP with an SLA who can properly assign you an address that will not change?
I'm chuckling as well, watching both you and Fusion backpeddle. At least he exited the conversation gracefully. You on the other hand:
It WAS a dynamic - but damnit it was the same for 5+ years, GTFOH.

Can I borrow $300? Thanks @20ForBeers...
...you realize you're having a dick-measuring contest about who's serving th most text files, right?
So, it's not just me that you're needlessly a dick to... good to know.
Do you feel better about yourself now?

They definately don't have static IPs - the main reason I didn't switch on over...
I just see one page. Stats. Not a 7 megabyte log file like I posted. The
Nope, none of this explains your original snide comment.
Hilarious... Are you related to Professor Jas Hud?
There was no malos intended. I just thought it was funny that an enterprise setup that services 67 unique incoming IP address connections was compared t a lemonade stand. It made me immediately think of Paul Hogan and his movie.

Id rather visit the Learing Center then :)
Someone recently asked an innocent question in the Fido SBBS echo about trying to get Golded to work and the resident Professor just had to
chime in.

There is a config file that helps load the message base settings. When I us to run Synchronet BBS software i used it on my golded.cfg
It WAS a dynamic - but damnit it was the same for 5+ years, GTFOH.
Now I'm wondering if we should feel bad for whomever wound up with that address, possibly wondering why so many connections were coming in on
your normal ports.
(I'm guessing it's probably not different from the background noise, but the idea entertains me, like maybe someone in the 1990s winding up
getting stuck with a former-BBS number after whatever waiting period.)

You need $300 upfront to switch ISP's?

even stuff that might not officially be intended for "dynamic DNS"
should be possible. if you use digitalocean for DNS for example, you can just use the administration API to update the IP when it changes.
could probably use it for other cool stuff too :)
They definately don't have static IPs - the main reason I didn't swit over...
Eh? Their web site says they have static IPs: https://ziplyfiber.com/smallbusiness/internet
For that you may need to get a business plan though.. I used to work
for a place that had a Ziply Fiber business service plan with a static
You mentioned getting a lot of requests.
One "subject-matter idiot" claimed that that was not a lot of requests, because text files just aren't.
...you realize you're having a dick-measuring contest about who's servi most text files, right?
I provided simple proof for a claim that was ridiculed by two subject-matter idiots. Both backpeddled, one politely. End of story, end of thread.

:P I hope someone got it who at least could SEE the connections - prolly just a normal joe who wondered why the extra 50 ATDTs were connecting
each day.
No - but its what it costs to switch from normal to business accounts. I don't need to borrow $300. :P

I mean, I'm guessing you wouldn't _mind_ another $300 to cover another ServerPartsDeals order.

Yea - they do IF you get a business account.
Now you inexplicably attempt to defend this after the fact.
3000 connections a day is not a lot
the point of the sarcasm was that you were recommending dropping a LOT
more money to do so very little. the whole conversation should have been "ju

Not what I was doing, but clearly whatever I _was_ attempting to do was not accomplishing anything.
The subject-matter idiot did not count the nearly 3,000 connects, just tried to pull a Jas Hud when I responded to his stupid comment with
plain facts.
It was not simple for that person to just press CTL+F in the browser to get a quick answer; that someone had to show off with being a
techno-dick with the stupid Linux commands that ended up avoiding my question. Idiot indeed.

That is VERY true.
Do you actually need a static IP? If so, then getting a business
account would probably be your only solution. I thought it's probably
the same way with any ISP..
I don't NEED one, but it sure does make things easier on all the public facing things...
I'm looking into some options to auto-catch changes in the future anyway.
I've never had a guaranteed static IP; I've always used a dynamic DNS service to detect IP changes and provide a hostname that people can use. Sometimes my IP has changed and there's a brief period where people
can't connect until all the DNS servers on the internet have the new IP address, but otherwise I don't think it has been a problem.
on here is astounding. Linux appears to be the common factor I notice?

around 7 years and the IP has NEVER changed until last week. Even thru a
I personally set up a cron job that checks my external IP and saves it
to a file. If there's ever a time where the external IP is different
from the one in the file, it sends me a notification.
