    Workload. We're not going to go back and manually check whether or not it was a paid or unpaid request and then match it to specific invoices especially since on most of these accounts the migrate button was spammed over and over and over and over so there's lots of generated tickets and invoices.

    Alternative would be for this batch to just send everyone a mass notice that there's no option for renewal and service is ending on next due date, or to not offer any refund since in almost all these cases the customer's support usage or AUP breach carries more fees than the migration. For other future batches, maybe that's different and we'll consider being more accommodating when it comes to locating and refunding migration fees without user input.

    Anyway, I think I've said all I want to say here. I can't continue replying to everyone's concerns regarding this matter. The cancellation button is still there and it's definitely no hard feelings on our end if it's utilized. We're taking the minimal action in this case as necessary.

    Thanks for the reply,
    Totally not a concerns but just curious about the logic here as i see you are more prefer ticket-free business from my opinion. anyway in the end it's your business model as an company.

    I didn't do any accusation, or relied to any ticket, or intensionally increased your work load. how come I am asked to leave Tokyo?

    there is no way to go, I don't want to leave Tokyo, this is the only way to communicate with Virmach, do you have better suggestions?
    I've tagged virmach here only to add an IPv6. Virmach provided the IPV6 button and I pressed the button, and it generated a ticket, I leave it open without replying for 6 months, then I started to tag him here. but he only replied me once saying no IPv6 currently, then I said how about pay to add one, that's all it's about.
    besides that, I never filed any ticket or relied to any.
    Now Virmach seems to blame me for adding his work load by tagging him here. It makes no sense.

    I expect you are being moved from Tokyo to another location. I do not think that will change no matter how much you comment here, or via ticket. You should already know that from your attempt to get IPv6 on your Tokyo VM as I outlined below. My suggestion would be to find a different provider that offers service in Tokyo with Ipv6. Just my two cents.

    yeah, it's a bit frustrating to accept it.
    for Virmach, if you don't have plan to add ipv6, don't add the button. if you don't wanna be tagged, say it.
    if you wanna move people, just do it, don't give unconvincible excuse.

    @ripeapple For me it breaks down like this:
    ~50% of the time I get what I want, when I want it.
    ~25% of the time I get what I wanted, but not when I wanted it, or when I need it.
    ~25% of the time I don't get what I want, and I know I will never get it.

    Learning to be OK with those numbers kept me from getting ulcers, or a heart attack, in my 50's and so far in my 60's. (Knock wood.) This is probably why you will seldomly see me get upset about anything regarding as small a thing in life as a VPS. Better that the small things fall into the bottom 50% than the big things.
    Just saying.

    Closer to 47% but yes, it turns out a good chunk of the accounts that were moved to Tokyo are also flagged in some way for creating too many non-essential tickets or continuing to have multiple accounts/resold, or whatever else I mentioned was in the criteria.

    I know I originally also said under 5% of all Tokyo but this number ended up being higher after I finished the last few nodes which had a larger quantity of these on them, and I was going based off total spaces originally available in Tokyo but they're no longer filled in this way so it's closer to 11% of all of Tokyo once I put everything in more specifically on a spreadsheet and finished sending out all the tickets.

    @soj1 said: hello.The ip segment 193.151.183.0/24 has 10% network packet loss. Chicago

    Whatever it was I can't locate it more specifically since it happened for such a short period of time. If it keeps happening, let me know exact timestamps and timezone. This is what it looks like right now.

    [1] - a lot means... idk - sometimes once a day, sometimes 3 times a day, sometimes it's quiet for a few days.

    This looks like sessions reset or something like that and they are (most of the times) restablished before next HT check next minute and it's fucking hard to even catch it and do some debugging :D

    Debian 12 template added. Debian 11 template re-added and resyncing, this one worked partially in the past but I've resynced the configuration and hopefully no more weird issues but if they persist let me know.

    I've also gone through and tested some old templates and may re-introduce them as EOL templates because I think it'll be helpful versus people installing old ISOs improperly, especially on low memory older services.

    Custom ISO feature is pretty much exclusively being misused right now, with the #1 request being blank, #2 request being an existing ISO, and #3 being dead links or non-ISO links. We're going to kind of phase this out into "request ISO to be added" instead and/or "report problem with ISO."

    rDNS has been added in SolusVM for all new blocks, but I've seen reports of it not working. I haven't had time to go through these specifically so it'd be helpful if we can get anyone here to use the feature and let me know what you're seeing in terms of issues and on which node so we can see if it's just all broken or clusters of problems.

    Added a paste button to VNC and improved visibility of text as well as some general instructions on failure.

    Added ChatGPT button on VNC, work in progress.

    Not sure if this counts as a "new block" or not, but I just tried setting rDNS on node RYZE.CHI-Z001.VMS with a 193.151.183.xx address. I received a "Could not connect to DNS server. Please try again later" error message.

    Really excited to get those Dallas servers racked and online in ATL this week, too!

    Sounds like a familiar issue we had before. I'll have to see if it only occurs on certain nodes or all of them, I only did basic testing and didn't run any updates. How much memory do you have?
