  • (Quote) That's interesting, and confusing. So is that the same routes I described except Cogent going from Omaha --> Denver --> Dallas --> OKC ends up being better than... oh I see it now, they handed it over to Telia from Dallas. And the C…
  • (Quote) I'm sorry, what? I was not expecting that at all when opening that. Wow. How did you even... find that many cities in the world. Okay I need to figure out a feasible way to use this data.
  • (Quote) It's not for these Ryzen servers. I mean I suppose it could be... I guess I never thought of it that way. I'd just need to trick WHMCS into using it for one location as I don't really want to make an entire OKC duplicate for each plan. For a…
  • (Quote) That one makes us look good, I like it. Time to figure out what's going on with Hivelocity Chicago (and T-Mobile Fiber Denver.) Okay interesting, so Hivelocity Chicago is through Lumen, that's good. But I have to figure out how to make BGP…
  • Worst route I've seen is probably 26ms to Kansas City, and it's Cogent, and geolocations for the hops are Michigan, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado. But based on Cogent's map, it'd be slightly off but I think it's actually somehow jumping up to Nebraska, …
  • Alright let me know if you find any weird/bad routes and I'll see what can be done about it, or if you notice any surprisingly good ones let me know about them. If it's to your location you can private message it or make a ticket and provide the ID …
  • (Quote) Okay yours is completing now. I'm adding the new IP. UPDATE -- New IP has been added. UPDATE -- It is now the main IP. UPDATE -- Old IP has been removed. UPDATE -- Bandwidth has been doubled to 20TB (wow nice plan) UPDATE -- Memory changed …
  • (Quote) I started yours around the time when you made your comment.
  • Okay, everyone's getting moved who requested it for OKC. It's not ready yet but it's a beta and I also haven't got to tidying it up. This way you guys actually get to be there for some form of actual testing without me taking forever. And that way i…
  • (Quote) It's okay we have backup motherboards for that. Wait a minute, you mean to tell me it's possible to fix it without throwing away the motherboard? If only I knew sooner...
  • @taizi can you tell me why you wanted BIOS access? Because all I can think of right now is that it'd be a bad idea. Any little thing if switched depending on what BIOS version, what CPU and memory combo could mean breaking things. Or maybe you never…
  • (Quote) Thank you for using us for your idling needs. (Quote) After beta, for beta I'll likely arrange moving the rest today. Sale likely this weekend (but with disclaimers, if anything goes down, I technically might be in a different city for a fe…
  • Storage VPS Deals Preview (Spoiler) (Quote) When has any of this made sense, we're still selling black friday flash specials for $6-7/YR with IPv4 and it's May. I don't even remember how to disable the system anymore.
  • (Quote) I think what you're quoting was referring to storage VPS plans. We'll have those. Which would probably be pretty good. I'll try to find what I didn't post about them in my collection of notepad files, that one's a bit older.
  • (Quote) Not for that weird plan, it’s obviously weird for a reason.
  • (Quote) These don’t really make sense if you’re trying to maximize storage and lower cost. Unless you go big and then the demand for it shrinks due to ballooning total costs. The only way it would make sense is what you mentioned, adding HDDs to th…
  • @taizi update on KVM... I read into it a little bit more and the specific models for dongles, etc, and of course I could be completely wrong, but I found a potential compatibility quirk across models that would allow us to use cheaper dongles. We lo…
  • (Quote) I've spoken with hosts that don't use ECC on their Ryzen nodes and they say it's fine. With a smaller amount of RAM than a host node, I think it should be okay. (Quote) Ryzen equivalent of that would likely be the $25 a month one, which alr…
  • (Quote) But then I'd have to assess the hidden stacking fee that all other configurations have, that's +$23/2YR for a stack of two, discounted $5/2YR to +$18/2YR per two stacks of two (for total stack of four.) Then there's the non-dual stack stack …
  • (Quote) I think I unlocked the page 367 spoiler tag bug.
  • (Quote) For this I'll paste in another part of the long message I had written out. These aren't dedicated servers but they could end up doing well in that price range for what you get... super rough estimate on the pricing here. VPS Specials Previe…
  • (Quote) PiKVM would cost more than one-time setup for a dongle, but the dongle is going to a pretty old multi-port KVM unit with limited simultaneous seats and also old enough to where there's no HTML5. We can pretty much do anything... but it will …
  • I still can't locate our 7542/7452. I don't know if the boards we have are compatible with older generation, but I have a bunch of 7501's that I may just put in so we have them as a placeholder for now and then it's just an easy swap later down the …
  • The first person to open a migration request has been moved to Miami (this is an inside joke between me and the one person that's been migrated, you guys wouldn't get it. B)) Don't forget (I'm speaking with the one person who was moved) there's goi…
  • (Quote) Reason these didn't come online straight away is because they're using the Miami IPv4 subnets which had an issue. I only tested the original subnets we had for Oklahoma when verifying the other day. While we wait on that, I'll be twiddling m…
  • I just want everyone to know this is the temperature in the hot aisle right now right behind our cabinet. We need to get some people running benchmarks ASAP or I’ll freeze to death. Yes I really brought a smart thermometer with me I wanted to make …
  • (Quote) I can't leave the datacenter, security is too high someone has to come back and scan their body parts to let me in.
  • (Quote) Taking a look now. Unfortunately I wasn't able to locate your VPS based on the provided information. OKC Update I forgot to drink my coffee before I left, I made it and everything but its sitting on the kitchen counter. I'm devastated.
  • OKC Update Fixed previously mentioned router issue after it was finalized. I have a checklist of things to grab before heading in one last time (hopefully) before we have at least one server ready for migrations. That means barring some new problem…
  • (Quote) I'm not paying attention to that nor can I do much about it other than escalate it. If it stays like that, let me know.
  • (Quote) The part I left off is that I didn't sleep between my last visit to the facility either so I was actually awake for a little over 3 days. It's just hard to sleep sometimes when a lot of exciting work is getting done. Don't worry though, I sl…
  • Something I forgot to post from yesterday. (Quote) Early comparison. I'm comparing it with Dallas CDN77/DataPacket. Average column, rounded. Major cities only, up to first 2 per city. Skipping Dallas (because obvious.) I don't know why I'm complica…
  • I just had to comment because I recognized your logo from how many stickers I've had to remove. We bought around 200-300x E3's from you guys some time ago after you decommissioned them, and we're about to put in Ryzens in the last 80~ of them we hav…
  • I think I should probably leave as I've been here for 18 hours and honestly that many hours of work didn’t get done this time around, I had to end up dealing with some other things just with terrible internet access. I'm invoking this loophole to l…
  • (Quote) IPv6 only, we could do $6 per year or $9 per 2 years for 2C 4G 40G but only if 20,000 people are interested at once. Let me know after speaking with them all and confirming.
  • (Quote) Okay deal, unless my hotspot gets any worse than it already is right now. Awesome news by the way, I got the connectivity up between the router and switch. I must have just been sleep deprived last time. Well I'm also sleep deprived now but…
  • Alright heading out now, I’ll stay there until I get the network up.
  • @yoursunny I’ve located a box that has your username on it, let me know if you still want it and I should be able to send it out within a couple more years as long as you still live there.
  • I’ve relocated the memory for the storage server for probably the 5th time. I need to stop walking around with it in my hand. Now time to relocate the 16GB DDR4 that I need for that other specific server. Someone remind me to put a camera in every …
  • (Quote) I mean it kind of took care of itself, they can’t hurt us if they’re out of business. I do want to give a huge shoutout to Ivan at LAX though he was an amazing tech and I hope he found a great position somewhere else. Also to kind of balanc…
