Update and reboot is ok to be done at any time today.
And add more users and install more things is totally okay.

Thanks! Updates and reboot coming along in a few minutes. . . .

terrorgen · February 4

Open source software only, both on MetalVPS and for connecting to MetalVPS!

Terms seems to have been violated

@subenhon Updates and the reboot finished! Have fun!

A certain non open source software has been mentioned to be used in crunchy.

@subenhon said: The server works fine, and I running a Windows10 Guest using qemu-kvm.
In order to get a better performace for the Windows10 Guest , I install virtio-driver in the Windows10 Guest ,then add "-vga virtio -net nic,model=virtio " to the Windows10 Guest start up command line.
The Windows10 Guest working fine at the beggining, but after a while it crash.
It seems than the Windows10 Guest does not work stable with the virtio-driver.

@Not_Oles said: Terms Of Service

Be awesome! Be kind, gentle, friendly, positive, and polite!

White Hat only!

Not for business use!

Intended for education and fun!

Open source software only, both on MetalVPS and for connecting to MetalVPS!

No Service Level Agreement (SLA)!

Crunchbits TOS also applies!

@subenhon @terrorgen

Guessing it's the Windows, which seems not to be open source. Any chance of running something open source, please?

@subenhon If you really, really, really need Windows, please let me know, and we will figure out something. For example, we could change the Terms of Service.

Not_Oles · February 4

It occurs to me that I am using a Chromebook to connect to Crunchy. Maybe the Chromebook might not be 100$ Open Source. So maybe I am violating the ToS too!

Not_Oles · February 4

After @subenhon and I adjust ourselves to better comply with the Terms of Service, or after we adjust the Terms of Service, maybe we might let someone or a few more people come aboard Crunchy. I'm thinking about closing this thread in the Free Offers and Stuff category and opening a new thread in just plain Offers. In Offers, I can edit the OP, which is not possible here without help from the Mods. Maybe we could charge $1.01 or something like that for the entire remaining period until November 8. We could donate the proceeds to LES.

If you are interested, please let us know. Thanks again to wonderful @crunchbits for wonderful Crunchy!

subenhon · February 4

I didn't know it against the terms of service.
I am sorry for that

@subenhon I know that you did not know.

It's okay! Please do not worry! Please continue to enjoy Crunchy!

Thanks to @terrorgen for bringing the issue to our attention!

Maybe it's something in between?

At https://lowendspirit.com/profile/comments/ExAjiMag every comment seems to be about one of my servers.

I don't believe that you are 14 and in Indonesia. I like your new avatar, though!

Best wishes!

hi @Not_Oles , Maybe you already know me.
I don't know what lxc is so I learned to use lxc container.
Does this server support lxc container?

Please do something which benefits the Low End Community. For example, post a tutorial. Or maybe show us some code that you wrote and which is available to the Community. Maybe ask some other well known guys here to vouch for you. Best wishes!

@terrorgen said:

I didn't know what @terrorgen meant. So I asked Google.

Primarily, a person with a thick face is someone who offers advice or criticism without being bothered by their hypocrisy. Also, it can refer to someone who doesn't know their station--a concept foreign to Americans--and gives instructions or makes other inappropriate comments to their betters.

One of the most damaging reputations any person can have is that he BU GEI MIANZI (does not give “Face”), in other words, he embarrasses the people he deals with and causes them to lose “Face.”

Well, it's not like I feel "better" than @ExAjiMag or anybody else here. I deeply enjoy being one small part of our LESbian community.

I've posted a tutorial at: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/7302/free-vps-72-cores-754gb-ram/
do you want to see it?

lol

seriously?
You call that a tutorial? Just seeing that feels majorly wrong with your intentions. I would strongly urge the community to not encourage such behavior

Can I still signup for this? Maybe after March, that is.

Hi!
You might know me by the PFP and username + I'm also in the Crunchbits Discord server as well.
By the way, I'm back after a while and I see this post.
(I'll be inactive after I posted this comment.)
I honestly wanna say this.
This is very good offer, to be honest.
Meanwhile, I don't need the server.
Also, I have one question.
Did you just violate your own TOS by connecting to the server using your Chromebook?

ExAjiMag · February 6

bye

And to think during the weekend I installed FreeBSD on a small computer at my home just to compile a software (not abuse CPU on a low-end VPS).

I don't know if there are many providers for free shell on FreeBSD.

That explanation is not what I meant either... More like... Wow, he has the guts to even ask, right after you expressed disbelief of his identity. I have never seen you use the phrase "I don't believe..." here so I assume this phrase is strong for you.

Would be glad to talk about it when you are ready.

Rule 1.14 invoked?

If you have a bad day or a conflict with someone and make public statements about leaving the forum, "this will be my last post here" etc your account will be considered retired and you will get no warning about this.

Sorta of. I visit this sometimes

Thanks again to @crunchbits for giving MetalVPS this very wonderful server!

There is really fun recent work being invested by @babywhale into developing an open source, bash shell, and libvirt based KVM VPS install script called bashvm. Here's the Github repository. Thanks @babywhale!

One of the many interesting ideas behind bashvm is that it works on the server Node via ssh and command line. Thus, bashvm might be less susceptible to attacks because no web interface is required.

I've run a few tests, and plan to test more as development continues. The script seems to work well! Possibly bashvm could be installed on Crunchy. Awesome Crunchy Neighbors then should be able to install NAT KVM VPSes very quickly and easily! 🤩

As of now, @subenhon and I are the only folks using Crunchy. Neither of us are pushing her at all. So she's quiet. Right now, we might take another awesome Neighbor, or even two. If you might be interested, please do read the OP and the rest of the thread carefully. Thanks!

Good stuff @babywhale
Looks very interesting!
