(Quote) Oh, well that's not great, let's add to everything else: dservermanager down.
-
(Quote) We do!
-
(Quote) I mean, if you paid attention to who I was talking to (hint: it wasn't you) you'd see that they've been on the forum for half a decade. I've done my share of complaining here, and at OGF before, of course there's gonna be complaints here. If…
-
(Quote) I'm always surprised when someone here buys a VirMach server and doesn't understand what they signed up for, I figured by now anyone here knew exactly what they were getting. Timetables are flexible at best, communication can be sporadic, bu…
-
(Quote) yeah, my gut feeling would be "f em" but that's probably more work dealing with customers than just recovering their data.
-
(Quote) That's a shame, because I'd also prefer to see port speed reduction vs immediate suspension / overages. But, such is life. I think billing overages and using your own code to suspend over a certain amount would be the best option out of thes…
-
(Quote) Sounds like it's time to start planning on a VirMach take on hetzner auctions!
-
Well, it only took a couple of reinstalls, and I think I'm actually satisfied with everything now. My first time playing with mdadm remotely, I only broke it twice. Installs and rescue cd working great for dedis at least! If anyone wants to save the…
-
(Quote) Virmach was hard at work while I was getting drunk and grilling, looks like my server is off and running too! (Spoiler) BEEFY!
-
Ooh, I have an invoice and something in my panel! It looks like my server is still getting ready for server-ing, I don't like that there's so many options for me to cancel everything, time to close out this page and go wait patiently. (Image)
-
(Quote) (Image) Not taking our money yet at least, I'm just over here waiting patiently for an invoice. Honestly preferable to taking our money and then taking time to get everything set up.
-
(Quote) I understood it as a way to buy drugs for something you could run instead of folding@home lol, but then btc went from $5 to insane prices, and I thought it was gamblers and speculators. It's still gamblers and speculators, but clearly I shou…
-
I mean I thought the common advice with crypto was never pay directly out of your exchange, you withdraw from the exchange to a private wallet, and then transfer from there. Exchanges have regulations, but aside from that they can block wallets just…
-
(Quote) but... I thought that was the point of these? you mean to tell me people are actually USING them? I believe you can still transfer BF deals, but I haven't been paying a ton of attention over the last year or so, so I'll let someone else joi…
-
(Quote) For my use, I don't need a ton of threads, if the total cpu perf is as similar as these are, the single core perf is the winner. B and C are close enough that either would be fine, but I think A and D both have around a 30% perf difference i…
-
(Quote) I've been using this strategy for 5+ years now and it's been great, buy 2-3x as much CPU as you'd want, keep the load under 33%, and have zero issues with a core or two being pegged 24/7. You get great burst performance and still keep thing…
-
(Quote) Wait wait, we're doing dedis again? Oh man, I picked the perfect time to check in again, I definitely want to get in on this. My old dedi was one of those insanely unsustainable deals, I think 225/yr for 32gb/240gb, and you went so far above…
-
(Quote) I don't think that's a particularly new theory, I saw it once or twice while the both of you were MIA.
-
(Quote) 11 here, though I'll be down to 6 by the end of the year. Most have been idle months now, I picked up a 5700g dedi from fiberstate and migrated nearly everything to that. I'm trying to keep things here now to just stuff I need a dedicated IP…
-
(Quote) I've been debating picking up something small in Tokyo to join my near-idle storage server there, I just haven't managed to catch something tempting enough. What'd you grab?
-
Arg, ok, I was really holding out and not buying more stuff I don't need, but offer #997 was like hand-crafted for me. Looks like I grabbed the last one, sold out. SturdyHotpink is a fantastic generated name, this bodes well.
-
I'm always impressed at how fast people here solve Virmach's posts like this, I've just been throwing hardware at it to try and brute force because I am out of my area here.
-
Support was prompt the one time I needed them, and my server was ready minutes after I ordered. I don't still have anything with them, I downsized and they didn't have cheap stock where I wanted it, but they're on the short list of providers I'd ord…
-
(Quote) Personally, I'm taking it as my sign to move on. I'd just not pay the invoice and let it auto-terminate you. If some miracle has things back to normal before then, you can go pay the invoice then, and if not, at least you don't have to fight…
-
(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…
