(Quote) Nothing specific. Just different worlds. (Quote) Depends. If it's your ticket should be minimum 72 days cooling off period.
-
(Quote) It's a sliding scale. I don't mind, but it's not fun when I expect my version and get your version ;) I just prefer "by Friday" or "Next Wednesday" in that case. The ambiguity is tough--especially when there are 50 movi…

(Quote) In December to Jan a big chunk did get migrated, but then we knew we'd be doing a wide roll-out of upgrades so things got paused. Of course, my definition of ambiguous timelines of things like "shortly" or "soon" doesn't …

(Quote) I think hard to gauge as well, as these items normally become part of a larger portfolio. One thing I considered heavily was the type of acquirer. * Passive portfolio of only hosting companies? Probably not for me. I can be fairly hard-head…
-
(Quote) Yep. No changes for now--but credits would 100% stay/transfer.
-
(Quote) I think someone before us already tried that approach.
-
(Quote) TL;DR No price increase. Understood. I thought I answered right in the top of announcement but re-reading it can be a little ambiguous. Any existing service is unchanged in price. You will be going for a ride to newer hardware, unchanged ot…

(Quote) The only ones who have managed to skirt me so far is @FAT32 and @FrankZ I'm patient, though.
-
(Quote) I didn't want to do it "in the dark" so to speak, so I tried to get posts out as soon as I reasonably could to all accounts/forums/etc right after I could confirm their PR was live. I expect (rightfully) to be asked difficult quest…
-
(Quote) I had huge concerns over this knowing how many of the acquisitions go for customers after the fact. I can't go into very specific details (at least not yet), but protecting existing customers was a major factor in how I made this decision. T…

(Quote) * Owner: Synteq, exactly as stated in first line of "bullshit". * If ROI is not met, I would also fire whole crew. This doesn't/didn't change. If anything, there will be more of an allowance to test/expand certain product lines t…

(Quote) I think you have it backwards. (Quote) CPUs and platform, RAM (speed / amount*), SSD-->NVMe, chassis/cooling, and serviceability.
-
(Quote) If you can run a VPS on old bitcoin asics I would agree
-
(Quote) Yes. I expect a bit more fun with some of it as I get increased amounts of hardware that is still very capable being pushed downstream.
-
(Quote) 6146 --> 6246 (already live and have been getting beat on for about a week verifying new chassis/settings). Ryzen TBD but looking like EPYC Turin with high clocks.
-
(Quote) No no, the new-new one not the old-new one. CPU?
-
(Quote) Yeah @berrybyte finally finished counting his stacks of cash and got it done
-
Soon as @Neoon updates my logo I've got a brand new X3360 node with his name on it.
-
Ohhh congrats @MichaelCee !
-
(Quote) Oh yeah that pic really sucks now that I see it here. 6254 but for a specific use-case.
-
(Quote) Always copying each other. I guess it reinforces this is the way? (Image)
-
(Quote) It's just the reality of the situation these days. Especially when it isn't uncommon to just get a /24 slapped for one bad actor with a few IPs, and the admin time staying on top of all the various lists. For the price, something like MXRou…

Is @DataIdeas active here? He does NUC/RPi style colo in Texas. I would definitely check with them. There has to be someone in NOCIX/KC that would resell 1U for a good price too I'd assume.
-
(Quote) Hmm, not necessarily. The price to exclude them completely is above anything that would sell on LE-focused forums. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but you can just look at where bigger publicly traded providers price things and get an idea. That…
-
(Quote) For me specifically it was more that it was being abused by non-target markets. Getting literal boatloads of transient customers who hop at the first sign of saving 1 cent per year or abuse your IP space until GFW bans it and then demands yo…
-
@Freek just to be safe as well, make sure that you don't mix ranks on RAM in the same system. I.e. Dual Rank (2Rx4) with Quad Rank (4Rx4) or any variants of that. If it is your first foray into enterprise stuff, this is a huge oversight that can cau…
-
(Quote) A very well said and rational take. Between my own internal guidelines on this, and discussing with smaller/newer hosts fairly often this is a bit of an issue. YABS is an excellent tool, but just like MTR/traceroute the operator has to know …
