Ready-only SD card

tryp4vps · Posted by: tryp4vps - 05-19-2019, 01:39 PM - Forum: General - Replies (5)

Hello,

Today my SD card suddenly goes weird.

It does APPEAR to be normal though. When I copy files into it or delete files from it, the OS does not show me any error. Not even showing write-protected error or similar.

But after I unplug and re-plug the SD card to my PC, all my changes made (add or delete files) are gone.

So it actually becomes a ready-only SD card.

Anything possible I can do to fix it?

Hello friends,
I am trying to install a SMF forum on VPS running Debian ( apache2.php7.0,phpmyadmin,mysql-server ).I created a new database and installed the SMF.Whenever i visit my site it shows
" Table 'smf.smf_messages' doesn't exist "
What should i do? Should i manually create this table or should find a proper method to fix this so it may not happen again in future installations.

Hello Post4VPS Community

Today I have been going through some older guides I have written and posted on FreeVPS.us because I wanted to put my NanoKVM VPS in use.

One guide I used was the "IPv4 reverse proxy for IPv6 only web hosting" tutorial to run a web server on the usual ports 80 and 443 while not having a dedicated IPv4 IP address but a full IPv6 prefix. And given that my NanoKVM VPS only has 10 GB disk space I decided to check this article I posted previously on FreeVPS to expand storage on my VPS somehow. Thanks to @deanhills for reposting this great tool here.

As can be seen in the reposted topic by @deanhills there are some open questions. This tutorial will address the installation process of MegaFuse on Debian or Ubuntu (thus also any Linux distribution that is based on one of the both). Unfortunately I cannot cover CentOS or other Linux distributions because I don't use them and don't have a server at hand to test it out. This guide can however be easily adopted to pretty much any other Linux distribution by finding out the corresponding packages names for the needed tools to compile MegaFuse.

Feel free to post your questions and feedback below. Let us begin now.

Use an account with administrative permission or sudo with a user that is allowed to perform sudo operations to peform the commands in this guide.

Prerequisite Installation

You need tools to compile the MegaFuse source code and build the executable file. MegaFuse is only available in the form of its source code. So the installation process is the compilation of this source code by hand. This requires compilation tools such as make, gcc, pkg-config and many others. Run the command below to install all necessary packages.

Code:
apt-get install build-essential make pkg-config wget zip unzip ca-certificates fuse -y

Prepare Source Code

After all the tools that you need are installed it is time to download the latest MegaFuse source and and extract it. That is also why the command in the first step included wget and both of the ZIP programs zip and unzip. This tools will help to download the source code and extract it.

Download the source code to your server:

Code:
wget https://github.com/matteoserva/MegaFuse/archive/master.zip

Extract the source code:

Code:
unzip master.zip

Go to the folder with the source code:

Code:
cd MegaFuse-master

Compile MegaFuse Source Code

Now as we have the extracted source code on the server it is time to compile it and build the executable file. To do that you have to run a single command in the folder with the source code (MegaFuse-master).

Code:
make

Depending on the performance of your server the compilation task might take a while. Just wait for it to complete. Once it is done your cursor will be back at the normal terminal. You can run the ls command and check if you now have the file "MegaFuse" inside the MegaFuse-master folder. If the file is there everything has worked out. If the file is not there check the compilation output for any errors. Feel free to post them here to get help with a solution to make it work.

Start MegaFuse

You are almost ready to go. First however you need to set correct permission on the MegaFuse executable file and after that you have to configure the MegaFuse configuration file with your MEGA account information and other settings. Please make sure you are still in the MegaFuse-master folder!

Set execute permission for MegaFUSE:

Code:
chmod +x MegaFuse

Configure MegaFUSE:

Code:
nano megafuse.conf

Inside the file uncomment the following entries:
- USERNAME
- PASSWORD
- MOUNTPOINT

Change the values for these entries. USERNAME is the username/e-mail address of your MEGA account and PASSWORD is of course your password. MOUNTPOINT is the folder where you want the content of your MEGA cloud to be mounted in. This folder has to exist on the server!

After you have adjusted all entries save the file and close the text editor. The configuration is basically done at this point. Now we can start MegaFUSE.

Start MegaFuse:

Code:
~/MegaFuse-master/MegaFuse -c ~/MegaFuse-master/megafuse.conf -f -o allow_other -o uid=1000

If MegaFuse started successfully you will see the message "MegaFuse is ready". Unfortunately MegaFuse has no service daemon, yet. So when you reboot your server you will have to run it manually and you will have to use tools like screen or tmux to run it constantly in the background.

You can now change directory to the mount point that you defined in the configuration file and run ls to see the content. You should see the contents of your MEGA cloud account. You can download files simply by copying them to a different folder. Uploading files is as easy as simply moving them to the mount point.

Be aware that due to how this remote mounted storage works there might be slight delay when downloading/uploading or changing files. A good Internet connection on the server will help quite a bit to combat as much delay as possible. File size of course also matters. The speed you work with is far away from the speed of a local disk.

That's it folks!

P.S. You can use the mount point together with a web server to serve the files you have over your page. Be warned: PHP and similar will NOT work! This can only be merely used to share files, download or view them. You cannot host applications on this mount point (I tried and it didn't work even after several attemtps and some research).

If anyone is able to write a good systemd daemon script I will gladly share it here with (of course) the right amount of respect and credits.

You can use some of this to make a review.

I open this topic to find out what you think of the VPN services that you use and what your experiences are with it, so what you like about this provider compared to your previous one, what can be improved and which you recommendation and which you advise against others, and whether you have a free or premium package / subscription and whether it is also price quality.

I currently use ExpressVPN because I like their servers very much. ExpressVPN is one of the largest premium VPN providers in the world. They are known for their high quality, perfect connection speeds and great ease of use. This VPN provider was established in 2009 and they have since become the market leader in the VPN industry. A subscription gives you access to the extensive server network of this VPN provider. The ExpressVPN server network consists of more than 2000 servers at 145+ server locations.

ExpressVPN is based in the British Virgin Islands, which means that they do not have to keep logs due to local legislation. ExpressVPN keeps absolutely no logs.

ExpressVPN is also very user-friendly and therefore accessible to everyone. The VPN app is very well-arranged and works intuitively. You do not have to be a computer fan to use ExpressVPN. Moreover, the customer service of this VPN provider is very helpful.

WHY SHOULD I RECOMMED YOU EXPRESSVPN?
The ExpressVPN website is well-arranged and useful
The installation process of ExpressVPN is very easy
The ExpressVPN software is intuitive
ExpressVPN is the most expensive than the other VPN providers
They offer a wide range of payment options
ExpressVPN has an excellent 24/7 customer service with live chat box

Mission Improbable - Gordon Freeman is tasked with re-activating a Resistance listening post. From there, things quickly escalate.

Mission Improbable is a single player gamemode for the game Half-Life 2: Episode Two. It has been initially released in 2010 and has been re-released in 2012 as a full version. Originally the game was split into episodes. During 2015 a fix for the gamemode has been released that made it compatible with Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer. Valve made this Source SDK Base 2013 as the default SDK base for gamemodes back when all the Valve games have been updated to the latest Source engine.

Requirements to play his gamemode:
- Half-Life 2 (Paid)
- Half-Life 2: Episode One (Paid)
- Half-Life 2: Episode Two (Paid)
- Source SDK Base 2013 (Free on Steam)

The here provided download contains the original unmodified gamemode as available here and the Source SDK Base 2013 fix has been merged into it. The gameinfo.txt file has been modified to make the game work on Linux with native Half-Life 2 Linux game builds from Steam.

I have changed nothing else! Install the games and the Source SDK Base 2013 first and then the gamemode. Restart Steam after installing the gamemode to get it detected by Steam.

How to install: Extract the folder "missionimprobable" from the archive to /home/<username>/.steam/steamapps/sourcemods/.

This might as well just work on Windows but I made this build because I noticed that most Half Life 2 gamemodes are not compatible with the Linux versions of the games, sadly

Hello, i'm posting it here because this post doesnt suit in free vps board due of mobile phone verification you will need to have a italian number or use an online provider.
The trial im posting here is good for 2 months of hosting, depending on plan you chose since with this credit you have much choice between vps, sadly the website is in italian so you will have to use google translator, if you dont understand something feel free to ask me, now i post vps specs for 2 months trial (there are more plans, you can look at there https://www.cloud.it/vps/vps-hosting.aspx , you are free to chose any of them)
If you select linux plan of €3.5 you will have it for 2 months with the following specs (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD Storage, 5 TB of data transfer each month), don't chose the cheap plan because the 10$ will expire after 2 months regardless used or not.
Currently im using this offer to host a SCP: Secret laboratory server and the vps works pretty well in future before this trial vps ends i hope to get VPS 5 plan since i don't want make people pay for the vps.

Registration link: https://www.cloud.it/prova-cloud-aruba.aspx
If you have any question feel free to ask me.
