  • @Wonder_Woman the 1TB HDDs are SAS which means above issue. That's what's holding up your build at this point. Let me know what you actually want via DM to see if we can make that work instead, or did you specifically want 4x1TB HDD?
  • Still having issues even in HBA mode, and now I'm quite upset. It seems like some operating system(s) decided to just disable the hardware, like the device ID. I don't even think Windows has ever done something like that? That's a thing now? Probabl…
  • (Quote) Let's state this story in a different way. Some group of people working at a 200 billion dollar company got together and thought the best way to ensure they're not providing services to a customer in a sanctioned country is to ensure that t…
  • Show of hands, does anyone actually want the 9240-4i's in HW RAID? The more I learn about it and work with them the less of a fan I am, I've probably convinced myself to flash all of them to HBA mode and get it over with before I waste any more tim…
  • It's so cold here I actually need to start running benchmarks on the Epyc servers so I get some heating when I sit down on my laptop. Right now they're the ones with the strongest fans set up to pull to the back and I'm sitting in the hot aisle so I…
  • (Quote) One is Iran, other is Ukraine. Maybe Israel and Russia next.
  • (Quote) This one comes up as HostHatch, they're from Iran? Just a joke, HostHatch leased it. (Quote) Probably not it seems if they somehow own all the IPv4. Curious, how are you checking these? It seems like they at least moved these over to some r…
  • (Quote) We’ve done that too many times, it’s not exciting anymore.
  • (Quote) Apparently I didn’t make a mistake, I specifically didn’t get cage nuts because these rails for the E5’s don’t need them and I knew that because I have a set at home. Oops already ordered like 800 of them I guess we need to get more cabinets…
  • (Quote) I need to swap out the IPs we have in San Jose, they cause a lot of weird issues. They happen to be from Iran I think originally. I don’t know if it’s related I’m just throwing that out there, what’s more likely that’s happened before is da…
  • (Quote) With sugar makes sense why you’d feel that way. I always kind of knew this from personal experience but I just looked it up to confirm it before sounding dumb. Caffeine either spikes blood sugar or something like that so if you also have su…
  • Cage nuts, I knew I was forgetting something. Power maintenance on dedicated servers, I don’t think anyone will be affected but just letting you know in case.
  • (Quote) That's the one I'm talking about, on our end we get more granularity, what I was talking about is that it was reporting CPU and other data while being "down" for a portion of the time so that means it had some connectivity as it do…
  • Everything looks normal, on our end. As in the switch is up, not overloading, technically has data over the period, didn't log an outage for some reason. Looks healthy, nothing lost power. No alerts from the datacenter, by the time I started trying …
  • (Quote) Sure, I know I have at least one photo where I asked my friend if they liked my cable management, and this is someone who has no idea how servers work or what they were looking at so they just changed the subject. (Image) Any other photos…
  • (Quote) A whole VirMach style project for it would take forever, but I think I could do a system where the prices just drop automatically and specific available server configurations are listed with timers, price drops, and discounts applied, and I …
  • (Quote) I always end up being the healthiest when I have rice. I'm pretty good at making it with certain dishes, but it takes too much effort. I'd rather make servers. The servers don't burn if you forget about them. Sometimes.
  • (Quote) You have no idea what capabilities I have to meet your requirements at a low price and still manage to disappoint you, while wasting my time, our power, and colocation space in the process. That sounds more like a black friday thing, maybe …
  • Okay, I've finally figured out the formulas to do the pricing in a way that makes sense and have it "work" for the sale, with the configurations and pricing ending up close enough to our original intended prices for the sale. I'm not going…
  • Instead of working on IPv6, I spent the last 2 hours making a pizza, cinnamon rolls, and finally fixing the RAM stick visualization bug. Oh my god it was so frustrating but I'm happy now, had something to do with trying to assign a checkmark to the …
  • (Quote) Alright, working on adding IPv6 to dedicated servers next. Wish me luck. I should learn IPv6. Oh man why'd I forget IPv6 exists when doing the "fancy" configurator, now I have to go back and work it in. Wait a minute no I don't, t…
  • (Quote) I've added this to the invoice as you requested. Keep in mind it goes alongside same term, if that's not what you expected let me know, I won't be able to switch the IPv4 portion to monthly but you can move down to /29. And for anyone else …
  • (Quote) Two lose two per subnet. First one is the network, last is the broadcast. So technically 6 are usable on a /29 except one of them has to be used for the gateway. So 5 left for the server. /30 - 1 out of 4 (25%) /29 - 5 out of 8 (62%) /28 - …
  • (Quote) Make a ticket and private message the ticket ID just so I can locate it more quickly, or just private message and include your email with us there, and let me know what specifications you are most interested in and your budget, or if you jus…
  • (Quote) Will likely be, for the sale: $4/MO - /29 IPv4 $8/MO - /28 IPv4 By the way, you had a dedicated server with us in the past and talked about wanting something, right? You should DM me with what you want as it'll be your best chance to get w…
  • This is the rewritten wall of text, and applies only to dedicated server rentals. Regarding HW RAID Controllers * I'm considering ordering a few different controllers, potentially considering an HBA, or a technically "lower-end" RAID con…
  • I'm trying something new for your convenience, every time I end up writing a wall of text, you now get a concise summary. Actually let me just read through it and see if it's good enough to use as the only response. Just to be clear, I didn't ask th…
  • I didn't know whether it was going to boot the ISO image via PXE or actually try to use the KVM dongle. It seems like it's actually using the dongle. That's why it doesn't work. Anyway that makes more sense. There's different tiers of dongles, we'r…
  • (Quote) Okay, I'm no longer surprised.
  • Apparently Netboot is disabled by default, time to find out why.
  • (Quote) I'm surprised it works, nice. I'm testing out some RAID profiles now as well to see if we can actually get it to set it up before OS install automatically in some way.
  • (Quote) Did you want to buy one of these to joint the beta pre-sale or whatever? It'll be 3500, and 500GB NVMe. Not sure if this was a suggestion for the sale or part of the custom requests or if we talked about it anywhere else, my brain is mush, I…
  • (Quote) There should be Netboot available on the OS list. Let me spend some time to see how ISO works, it should probably be easy. (edit) It is real easy. Let me know if it works, adding it is easy, I don't know about getting it to work. (edit) I'…
  • (Quote) These might get rolled into a different configuration since we're likely dumping the 2600, so if that happens you can get it monthly instead if preferred. You'll likely have to get it how I said annually/as it is technically if you want to c…
  • (Quote) Ticket backlog so these were only checked to some degree and looked into further if an issue was identified. Your ticket indicated disk issue, control issue, or node issue, and none were confirmable based on that. This should have been look…
  • (Quote) Mobile was mostly an afterthought after a friend me reminded me phones exist. Then it bothered me and I had to spend some time getting it to be usable. I couldn't get tapping to work well on it so I just soft "force" a guided walkt…
  • (Quote) Thanks this helps a lot I remembered there was a specific thing like that but couldn't find it and that's exactly what I was looking for, you saved me probably at least 15 minutes at my current pace.
  • Alright here's the configurator: https://billing.virmach.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=269 I might have to end up giving up and create several different products but I generally don't like having a bunch of split up products especially for one type of…
  • I've been wasting a lot of time on finishing up the configurator. I'm finally doing it how I've always wanted to do it, thanks to AI (it'd take way too long to figure out how to do it myself, but I'm getting the hang of it and reading through/fixing…
  • (Quote) Yeah, as soon as I figure out where to add them. (Quote) If I figure out how to modify the page I'll add in more options for cancelling the process. (Quote) You made so many jokes about dedicated servers for $6 a year or whatever than my b…
