So all a provider needs to do to maintain their tag is login (and do bugger all) - stupid. There has to be a line drawn where node down for X period without any view to fixing means suspend tag. All the provider needs to do is say (somewhere) what …
-
(Quote) Agreed - There has to be limits and imho @VirMach exceeds those limits and repeats them. For me this started because of the ridiculous downtime without any updates or notifications. At least the other providers mentioned tend to provide upd…

(Quote) Agreed and I will be doing the same. (Image)
-
(Quote) Agreed - but.... how about bots, @virmach has not said anything or done anything (publicly) that I am aware of. Multiple nodes being down and no status updates for over a month is that reasonable? There are times when a provider needs a kick…

(Quote) That was a good side step.

Good luck with ATLZ005. AMSD018 - about 6 weeks down so far. Just another two days to my self declared virmach deadpool....... VIRMACH is not worth the risk
-
@VirMach POE and DGAF so LTGB and IIB
-
So what is the definition of deadpool ? Should we have a new term for virmach (as others don't accept deadpool) ? How about Left The Building (LTB) POE - Pisses off everyone DGAF - Doesn't Give A Fu.. IIB - Is in Bed Changed my profile pic and sig…

(Quote) Fair point - I can declare the state as I see it (and will) others can of course completely ignore me although everything I have said will explain why I believe it to be true.
-
Just because servers are running (for some) does not mean a provider is still around. A running server means potentially further renewals without doing any work, which pays for the services to continue (ponzi). @VirMach has some form with these ac…

Failure - when linking to Paypal I just get a spinning disk and no login. Not a good start.
-
RANT If I was @VirMach I would feel so genuinely guilty that I had not got customers vms back up and running after A MONTH. I would have kept my customers informed as to what and why things are happening. I would NOT just disappear. I would answ…

(Quote) Thank you very much to both, it is greatly appreciated.

AMSD018 is still in maintenance mode (i.e. my VMs are down). Its about 3 weeks now. Coincidentally I managed to raise a ticket today even though the first time around I entered all the details, went to send and got thrown back to the login screen. M…

(Quote) > Understood (for SJC) but not for Amsterdam. Also I have been with Virmach for many many years and know what happens, but that does NOT excuse excessive downtime (greater than 10 days). By all means offer migration, by all means offer c…

(Quote) Network status does not mention AMSD only SJC Brilliant, control panel in maintenance mode and no way to raise a ticket, hope you are enjoying the peace @VirMach

@virmach id=722446 and id=722545 Down 9 days so far (AMSD018) I am patient BUT no comms from you (as usual) is showing no respect. Appreciate we don't see the big picture but at least give us a fucking hint !!! You block access to the control panel…
-
Sorry @VirMach but in the interests of non bias I have to say your ticketing system is not fit for purpose. VM id=722446 fails. VNC shows system had gone in to read only. Reboot and fsck is needed but fails as it can't write to the file system. Ma…
-
(Quote) Ok not an expert but it sounds more like a disk problem - Hopefully your ticket will be answered but don't expect a fast response.
-
(Quote) To me, logic says if the server is in an off state, then VNC will not work. It sounds very much like the re-install failed a reboot. You don't say what you installed - so try a virmach template such as debian 12 (I think that works - others …

(Quote) > You either allow or disallow outgoing email. allow - state poor ip and likely blocked by Gmail etc. disallow - if user requests unlocking, state poor ip and likely blocked by Gmail etc. Totally agree with your principle of not caving in…
-
(Quote) Actually thinking about it, I suppose it fits into a certain cultures mentality i.e. I am 'ordering you to work' which of course explains a number of very 'entitled' comments.
-
(Quote) I would say it is still an expectation issue. You expect the ISP to fix this or declare the problem - that is their choice and not to be expected. You expect to be able to send email - well yes you can, virmach is not blocking that, however …
-
(Quote) There is a common rule used in this and other forums 'Don't be a dick'.
-
As stated and confirmed by @skorous a realistic expectation is to assume sent mail will NOT be accepted by Gmail / Microsoft. If it is that is a bonus. As far as your (slight) change in emphasis - being blocked in SpamHaus does not stop you sending…
-
(Quote) That is not uncommon (for most lowend providers). Just because outgoing mail is allowed, it does not mean it will be accepted / received. As the message suggests you should be using a mail relay not trying to send direct. Mail relays such as…

(Quote) Reconfiguring Proxmox to create vmbr0 screwed up and needed @Not_Oles help (thanks Tom) to reset the interfaces file back to original. If anyone else is going to use Proxmox on the server this is what my working /etc/network/interfaces looks…
-
Looking good thanks Tom. Just about to try and install proxmox ......
-
Thanks Tom, you know I am keen. It does seem like a lot of work (to build) if the server is going away in October, lets hope it extends. Keep up the good work.

AMSD018 controls are still locked out .... Do we have a major problem?
-
@VirMach are you still doing mtce on AMSD018 as controls are still locked out (just incase you forgot ;) )
-
(Quote) id=722166 Has gone read only again, assume the disk is still having issues or the clear up is ongoing. Expect other VM will be going soon (tm virmach). No panic, just let you / others know AMSD018 is not feeling well.
-
(Quote) Thanks virmach - both working again. How is the clean up going....
-
(Quote) Yep - other VM has also just failed id=722545 and id=722166 timeout accessing control panel. Enjoy your cleanup ;) No panic.
-
AMSD018 Looks like the disk has gone walkies.... Swap went read only, reboot Boot failed: could not read the boot disk Edit - another server in AMSD018 is working so just a VM issue.
-
(Quote) BTW this was not meant as a criticism - I fully believe what you are saying. As far as Solus / Virt - Once my server is up and running, I don't care what you are using. So my choice would be to always go for the lower priced.
-
(Quote) Wow - That is ludicrous, I am sure our energy is not ~ 6 x more expensive. Even so, I appreciate the offer and understand why the answer is NO to Europe :'(
-
(Quote) Like the idea but needs to be Europe. Don't like the idea of NAT (this is a VDS). Bootable NVME and then larger HDD would be ideal. Like Price (for two years).

(Quote) 3 virmach's - frankz, who is likely the bipolar part of locked in datacenter virmach.

This is an offers thread - no point discussing dissatisfaction when you have already opened a Reviews thread. No benefit trying to 'argue' in two threads.
