by WolfSec-Support

Hello, we are looking for a project for good, reliable servers in Cyprus. Can be IaaS or Linux - both from interest. Has anyone good expierience with any provider there ? Via Internet you can find only very pricy or bad connected ones. For sure I dive deeper - but any help appreciated. Any hint is welchome, Cheers Steph Besten Dank.

Re: [swinog] mirror.switch.ch to be closed down

by Andres Aeschlimann

Hello all, Let me give you some more information about the decision of SWITCH to close down the well known SWITCHmirror service. In about 1990, the newly born Internet was such a success, that soon after, lines were completely overloaded, and it became literally impossible to download anything from sites across the Atlantic, at least during local office hours or in the evening. This also became a major problem for administrators at local Universities who had to install or patch their servers, as their installation routines took ages to complete, or even ran into timeouts. This being a common problem of the Universities, it soon became clear that instead of solving it at each University individually, it made much more sense to let SWITCH do that once and for all of them. So SWITCHmirror was born. And it was used. Heavily. Such that the SWITCHmirror infrastructure became among the most performant - and the most expensive - for about two decades. It was so performant that it could even be used to test network speed. Network engineers out there on the edge of the SWITCH network knew the sustained throughput of the SWITCHmirror by heart, and so they could just measure the download rate of some large file in order to tell whether their local line actually had the speed it was planned for. The congestion across the Atlantic didn’t actually last for too long. Soon after, new lines with double throughput and more were put in place. However, this didn’t come at no cost, and so, SWITCH also had to charge separately for overseas volumes, which again made the SWITCHmirror attractive as it generated only local traffic. Later on, this separate charge could again be dropped, and so the SWITCHmirror lost, in principle, its raison d’être. However, in the meantime, the SWITCHmirror was well known, not only at the Universities but even more in Switzerland and in Europe, as the download statistics are showing today: About half of the monthly 150-200TB are going to foreign countries, the other half to destinations within Switzerland, and only 2-5% to the Swiss Universities. SWITCH is committed to operate solutions that empower users primarily in the academic world. Given the above statistics, and seeing that the hardware was reaching its eol, SWITCH has done a survey among the responsible people at the Universities, which clearly showed that as of today, having such a mirror clearly isn’t a requirement for them any more. SWITCH has therefore decided to decommission this service, in favour of many others that are about to be put in place. The schedule for this decommissioning is documented on http://mirror.switch.ch/ . So, we are hoping that you can follow our reasons for turning off SWITCHmirror and thank you for your understanding.

mirror.switch.ch to be closed down

by Fredy Kuenzler

SWITCH announced that they plan to close down mirror.switch.ch. See announcement http://mirror.switch.ch/ I personally think this is very sad. In the name of the community I would like to thank SWITCH for their support over all these years. However I would like to start the discussion how we can keep mirror.switch.ch alive as a community effort. Can the decision makers at SWITCH please explain the preconditions? Funding for new hardware? Throw in some bandwidth? Colocation? Server management? Please discuss. -- Fredy Kuenzler Init7

Any tech from IncaMail Swiss Post on this list?

by Benoit Panizzon

Hi List I wonder if a tech from IncaMail Swiss Post (sender: swisspost(a)im.post.ch) source: gw1.incamail.com [194.41.147.13] is on this list and could contact me off-list to check on something? I contacted their abuse desk and support, regarding excessive bounce generation, probably due to some malfunction or issues when communicating with a support request ticket system, but no reaction yet.

Re: [swinog] swinog Digest, Vol 163, Issue 2 wifi on Battery

1.) Check with https://www.ict-plus.ch They have a lot experiences with Long reach wifi... 2.) why not just a standard USV? Solar or Wind buffered... or is a normal power supply only sometimes available?
