Fishguard? Heading West?!

(Quote) LMGTFY: "Turkish legal company names are long because Turkish commercial law requires every official trade name to include three mandatory parts: a distinctive brand name, a description of the company's business activity in Turkis…
-
(Quote) It's a Turkish company. You're confused that the Turkish company has a Turkish name?
-
(Quote) It certainly made me re-think voting against showing who downvotes; smells more of a pile-on than a genuine community decision...
-
(Quote) If you don't trust a provider enough to tell them your real name, why the hell are you trusting them with your VPS data?
-
It'll be interesting to see if the number of squares drops off once folk have burnt through their spare karma :)
-
Given we summarily vote down anyone who fails to use English in their answers, is it worth adding a note to the form saying so?
-
Does that imply that one can buy a space and simply not use it (which would seem to resolve your 'donation' issue)?
-
(Quote) I guess there's a reason there somewhere, so I withdraw my downvote :shrug:
-
Are you allowed to just open a new tag request if your first one gets voted down?
-
(Quote) Not very accessible. Honestly, it might just as easily be people who can't think what to fill in (and possibly don't have English as a first language) using the tools their used to, to fill in the boxes. Makes the questions mildly…
-
(Quote) I mean to be fair, there has been a tiny minority of idiots who object to "foreigners" treating them since the birth of the NHS and probably before that. Sadly, most medical staff are too professional to just say "fair enough …
-
(Quote) Circling back on this - I would imagine that if you were running an anti-racism website, or a vintage toy website, you'd probably phrase it differently, along the lines of "an understanding provider" or "a provider who ca…
-
(Quote) Meh; they would appear to not be the only ones getting emotional about what they see on the internet. But the whole point about a threshold is that if it's just an over-reaction by a couple of "random and unvetted" people, tha…
-
Sorry, yeah I should have avoided cluttering that thread :-(
-
I mean isn't the whole point of handing it "to the community" is to make it possible for "the community" to be lacking in enthusiasm for new users who are pre-emptively declaring they want to break the "don't be a …
-
(Quote) Yup, AMSD017 dead.
-
(Quote) Cheers; nice to know it's an error rather than policy - no need to bother support, I let it lapse; never really sorted it back out after the weird memory stuff a few months ago anyway.
-
I think it's only fair to flag up that last years deal - 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM for £15 a year - silently went up to £40 on renewal. Now, I have to concede that the offer post never said it was recurring (although it didn't say it was a one-ti…

(Quote) I do have to give you credit for making the Apple badge hugely more expensive just because it's an Apple badge. Very on-brand.
-
(Quote) Ezoic require 250,000+ monthly active users; LES is probably too niche for them. For general advertising on non-huge sites, Google is (sadly) about the best deal in town.
-
(Quote) Wales DC when? :-)
-
(Quote) Badge badge badge... mushroo?
-
And glowy threads with dinosaurs on (which I'm sure symbolises ... something?) always have the theme's "unread" background, even when they're read - which persists even if you turn the karma glowy stuff off.
-
The sign out button no longer seems to sign you out?
-
Oh I agree; support is the most important thing - it's a lot easier to handle problems with a service if you can actually talk to someone and get it fixed. It's just I've been bitten by the "good at pre-sales, crap at technical s…
-
(Quote) I used to do this, but it's sadly not often representative of actual support - either they focus on that as a sales technique, or pre-sales questions get sidelined because they'd rather focus on paying customers. Honestly, reviews…
-
Either Gemini, or some other scraping outfit using GCP.
-
(Quote) Can confirm it can see the internet again!
-
(Quote) I imagine it's the fact that it's in return for providing services that his company otherwise sells, which would potentially be enough to make HMRC want to take a very close look. It also rather depends on the VAT scheme he's …
-
(Quote) I'm on NYCB045 - and no, the network config is correct and booting into System Rescue also can't reach the gateway (185.213.19.1, as the box is a .19.xx address, although for a laugh it also can't see .18.1). I'm pretty …
-
(Quote) My NY VPS lost connectivity in the Great IP Change too; given we're back to radio silence and ignored tickets, I've just kind of written it off.
-
(Quote) I confess to being curious about that; my AdSense account is pretty ancient so it may have changed now, but I've never had to deal with any IRS / W8 crap from them. Maybe it's another Brexit Benefit?
-
(Quote) HMRC would probably take the view that tips are generally on top of a payment. HMRC has no sense of humour.
-
Needs more pulsing neon colours
-
(Quote) There might be a view that hosting them yourself brings you into even more annoying parts of the OSA (which is why folk like imgur just decided it was more hassle than it was worth)
-
(Quote) Is it worth leaving some sort of "mod checked" indicator, to avoid it getting re-flagged every time the indicator is cleared?
-
This whole IP renumbering looks to have killed my NY box; I think once a ticket reaches "Awaiting Technical Review", that means "sorry your box is gone" :)
-
(Quote) I wonder if it's worth having something in here encouraging folk not to post in every category simultaneously (maybe on different days?) just to avoid monopolising the front page?
-
(Quote) Nice to see some Welsh offers. Be even nicer if you actually had your company details visible on your website :-)
-
(Quote) Would a ticket help keep it on your radar, or would that just go into the huge bin of "tickets I'm never gonna get to" that you must be facing right now? :-)
-
(Quote) Sadly it's still not working on NYCB045; can't even ping the gateway from the VPS. Is this a known issue @VirMach or should I just accept that it's especially cursed and give up / reinstall / sacrifice a goat?
-
(Quote) FWIW, that's my situation too - can mtr the gateway fine from the outside but no further, and the VPS itself considers the gateway "Destination Host Unreachable"
-
(Quote) That's probably not mine then - I clicked the reconfigure, and the network settings look ... reasonable? Ticket #425233 if it helps
-
(Quote) I'm on NYCB045 too - totally unreachable from all sources on ping.pe. mtr from the outside reaches as far as 45.59.169.xxx (something in royalehosting) Annoyingly don't have mtr installed on the VPS (and I can't install it b…
-
IP address changes seem to have finally killed my until-now-reliable VPS in NY. Honestly not sure if I can be bothered in trying to resolve it or just accept that it's time has come /sigh

Average lifespan of any "lifetime" reseller hosting I've had has been ~3 years :lol:

(Quote) Maybe he could cross-post it Substack

(Quote) Google Cloud. AWS. Azure. Everywhere you'd expect, really.
