(Quote) Yeah, I got rid of several of mine, also not out of spite, the value wasn't there for me now. I'm keeping ~7 services that are so cheap it's still worth it to gamble on, but I'm cancelling basically anything over $20/yr, getting rid of ~$225…

(Quote) Got an email about LAX2Z019 earlier. I've already written this server off, personally, and I let it go when it was for renewal back in Nov. Looks like it skipped my cancellation request. the due date was bumped to Nov 2024 at some point and …

(Quote) I bought my mystery box shortly after the link was posted here, WELL before the terms were announced, and I was still late enough that I was in sku2's group, missing the 128mb package. There couldn't have been THAT many people in the first w…

(Quote) Oh neat, looks like I got bumped to a 640mb/25gb/2tb, that's actually perfectly usable. Not exactly a big winner, but definitely better than I expected.
-
(Quote) Looks like I got in on that first wave, you win some, you lose some. I got about what I expected, but hey, I grabbed an nvme4g at 90% with a flash coupon, more than makes up for getting this out of the mystery box.
-
In that budget range, I'd look at a VDS. HostEONS sale right now would run around $21/mo for 4 vcore 16gb ram 200gb nvme VDS on a 10gb connection, decent transfer. It'll easily replace an older dedicated server, if you manage to find a dedi for unde…
-
Got a 90%, wasn't planning on grabbing more services but I guess I'm in for an nvme4g. At least if my mystery box luck sucks I'll have this to fall back on.
-
(Quote) Honestly, if it ends up being any of those things? Totally worth the $20 just to watch people's reaction lol. Bought it for the memes, I'm completely expecting something unusable and if I later get something that I can actually use it's a bo…
-
(Quote) Suit yourself, no idea where/how someone tracked down the link, but I'll take my chances. I have faith that VirMach isn't going to ban people just for buying from a link in a forum post, but maybe don't buy one if your account couldn't stand…

Gah I really don't need another service, but I'm a sucker for mystery box stuff... I guess I'm in for the "this one will suck" location. Well, the VM name isn't bad, I've got a feeling about this one: HilariousWelldocumented-VM

(Quote) Damn, that was fast, thanks! Ordered, Invoice #135789
-
Ooh, exciting :) I expected a price premium, definitely going to grab one. Think I'm gonna grab another vds in slc while I'm at it, pricing is damned good on that, surely I can find a use for it. Could I get double storage on Invoice #135644?
-
(Quote) Yeeting abusers is a big bonus in my book, just chiming in to say I've got a couple of VDS's here and the performance is phenomenal. I replaced a baby E3-1270 v3 dedicated server with a 2 core 7950 vds and got improvements all around for a f…
-
Hey it powered up at least now. Back to getting boot failure, not a bootable disk. I'm honestly not sure what I left on this or how long ago, it's a test system that I generally leave powered off and reinstall when I need it. I'll let you make a tic…
-
(Quote) I've got one there that looks to be having issues too. Mine was powered on, was sitting at unable to load os. I wondered if I left an iso mounted, so I went to unmount and reboot, but now it doesn't seem to be powering back on at all, just s…

Let's see if there's any left. 2446adfd8704abe1730749fa7faaa8cf

(Quote) Oh right, that might help eh? I noticed it on LAXA023, taking a quick look at the rest of mine and I'm not seeing any issues on any other nodes personally. (edit) And this is why I didn't mention it in the first place, because it seems to h…
-
(Quote) Oof, yeah definitely need the network to settle down in LA. Right now it's bouncing between normal 10-20ms latency, spiking up to 250-300ms latency, or rocketing up to 1000-3000ms latency with random timeouts. It'll be fine for 10 minutes, t…
-
(Quote) I was hoping to hit around the non-earlybird pricing from sale on these, around $120/yr for a Storage -4T
-
Speaking of transfers, did anyone end up with a large storage VPs in LA that they want to part with? I could use like 2-4tb if anyone decided it's not a good fit for them. Probably a long shot, I don't know how many other people bought these big pla…
-
(Quote) It wouldn't be my first choice personally, but OKC is definitely workable for me, especially if the pricing is good. I'd be very interested in something there if you get back into dedis.
-
(Quote) I'm hoping we get some kind of migration options again after this is all said and done, I'm definitely going to end up with more in LAX than I need and wouldn't mind paying a migration fee to shuffle things around.
-
(Quote) It's mostly because of the types of games I play, stuff like Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program end up being WAY more demanding on CPUs than your average game. They end up hitting performance bottlenecks as your builds scale too large, and th…
-
I'd second the comment for some previous gen parts and splurging on 2tb. A 7900x is huge overkill for gaming, unless you're expecting to need a LOT of cpu grunt you can save some money here. A 5800x3d is a decent option also, depending on the kinds …
-
Ouch, well I was going to just ignore my dedicated server and let Virmach sort out whatever when he got around to dealing with all the dedis, but I think I'm going to have to open a ticket for it and get ahead of whatever ticket mess ends up. Dedipa…
-
(Quote) Oof, that's a painful one to read. I haven't received any messages about my dedicated server going away, and just got (and paid for) the invoice for another year on mine. I guess that's what I get for not reading the forum very often :/ So, …
-
(Quote) I was just thinking about this and thought I'd open a migration request so it didn't get forgotten, and I guess I forgot or didn't realize migrations are fully automated now, because it just happily recreated it on a different LA node. Whoop…
-
Damn it, I was trying to get some work done before the holidays, and now I've just got flash sales to watch all day? @VirMach why must you sabotage me so? (Quote) I don't know if there were changes with the Ryzen move, but I semi-regularly run a lo…
-
(Quote) Just offhand, I think you need to have checked the "Payment Agreement" box, the dialog you've got explains what situations won't actually charge you and yours should fall under that.
-
(Quote) Offhand: 2 different locations in Los Angeles, San Jose, Phoenix, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, New York (Secaucus), Miami, Tampa, Frankfurt, Tokyo. Is Amsterdam still a thing? Maybe also there. If you mean the specific networks, I'd hav…
-
(Quote) It should've gave you a list of steps to do and told you exactly what information to put in the ticket: (Image) You need to go through these steps, click request redeployment, and fill out the ticket with the information you got from the s…

(Quote) Good catch, just switched to email 2fa temporarily so I don't have to keep using backup codes.
-
(Quote) At least for my polar bear service from last year, there's the option to switch to unlimited @ 100mbit. I think it should flip over to a 10mbit cap automatically when you hit the cap, but I don't honestly remember if I've ever hit the cap on…

(Quote) Firefox here, and I never get banned for keeping pages open either. (Quote) I was a little drunk and pretty high and accidentally bought a KS-LE-1 instead of the SYS-LE-1 I meant to order. I swear it had the right one in my cart until I lo…
