(Quote) Is that even a thing? How old? You don't mean SSD?

I think for serving a lot of concurrent connections flat out, LS is like nginx and uses an async model while Apache uses threads and incurs the overhead of OS level context switches. So Apache can't be as fast regardless of tweaking. But as mentio…

THAT expensive? You can buy an awful lot of hardware for that amount. I've never had apache be a bottleneck. Slowness has always been in the application. But, I'm not hosting zillions of sites. If you're not hosting, what is the use case for LS?

What the hell does this stuff actually do anyway? I always took it for granted that there wasn't real money in anything having to do with the low end center, but those guys seem to be raking it in. I don't see the functionality that couldn't be im…

Seems gameable but if that happens, I guess we can react.

Too complicated. If the $28 allows creating 4 vps, then just list the 4 vps at $7 each and say that if you buy more than one, then rejiggering the resources between them is allowed. That's what the product is anyway, I thought.
-
(Quote) Typically you have to assign an ipv4 to each vm. That said it still seems to me like a gimmick product that is rarely offered. DO lets you aggregate bandwidth between VM's but not stuff like ram. And I think they only do that because peop…

(Quote) Keep price limit the same, just mention in post that combining and subdividing plans is allowed. As always, plans over $7 can be on the provider's site.

Resource pools are a weird enough thing that I don't think LES needs special guidelines for them.

3800x is current generation. It's a 3700x with a clock bump and higher TDP, making it a slightly odd choice for DC hosting where power costs are high. If you mean you want a 3950X, those are barely in anyone's hands right now so there are not like…

Drug dealers offer Black Friday deals on the dark web

Has anyone mentioned Hetzner?

* To start with, one long-running thread, but if it gets active then 1 thread per day in a subforum for the purpose. * Only offers from providers with provider tags here, which will hopefully require some post history at some point * If feasible for…

https://tinyletter.com/site/about/ is a newsletter service that is now part of mailchimp. I think it wasn't before, so I guess it was acquired at some point. I've never used it from the sending side but there's a newsletter I receive through it, …

(Quote) Hmm ok, if I can fix it by uploading an image then fine. But, LET doesn't have this issue: I wonder what they are doing differently? It doesn't seem like something they'd have gone much out of their way for.
-
(Quote) I'd rather not have that variation. Prefer to just have a fixed deal feed that could go into a thread and an RSS. Either there could be a long-running cestpit-like thread that would get a new automatic post whenever an offer apppeared, or …

(Quote) Seems reasonable to offer it to anyone who wants it, and open a special section or thread for the posts.

Is @exception0876 here? I guess not yet.

Certainly I wish @poisson the best with this project, and the whitelist is a good idea. But it's not just that I'm not the target audience for it: I also think the intended audience (inexperienced users) isn't a great target for it either. That ty…

Confirmed, enabling the referer header fixes the click twice to login issue.

* https://talk.lowendspirit.com/categories should mentiion offtopic category is logged-in only (it should stay logged-in only, i.e. the bug is only that the categories page doesn't say that it is). * I noticed on both LET and here, when I try to s…

If you can see the edit log, I went back and forth between 31416 (10000pi) and 27183 (10000e), finally went with 31416 just to root for the higher number. Older nerds might also recognize 22026 as exp(10) ;).

31,416 (10000*pi rounded to nearest integer).

Ya know there are a bunch of these already but when it comes down to it, I've never found them useful. My main buying criterion is always what do I think of the humans at the other end of the service, and that's not something that can be captured i…
